Who is involved in the TEP?

The TEP is a partnership between MTA, the agency that oversees Muni, and the Controller’s Office, which helps City departments evaluate the effectiveness of their services. MTA and the Controller’s Office have contracted with one of the nation’s top transit consulting firms, Transportation Management & Design, Inc. (TMD), to provide transit planning expertise. Together these agencies and TMD will serve as the project team.

A number of groups and individuals will provide the project team direction and input throughout development of the TEP. These include:

The Public, including all residents, transit riders, visitors and commuters, are an important part of the TEP. Comments and questions are encouraged throughout the project. For information on how you can get involved, view Contact Us.
