03-10-2026 SF County Transportation Authority Board
This is a public comment given by the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition at the San Francisco County Transportation Authority Board meeting in regards to item 6: State and Federal Legislation Update.
On behalf of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, I am here voicing support for AB 1837, expanding the use of camera enforcement on buses, and to ask the Board to support AB 2276, the Stop Super Speeders Act.
One of the top complaints we hear from the biking community is vehicles double-parking in bike lanes. What seems like a brief act for the driver creates a dangerous environment for people biking and rolling, especially on corridors with fast moving traffic. Parking in a bike lane forces people to leave the safety of the bike lane and merge with moving vehicle traffic that is not prepared for them to enter their lane.
This is a difficult issue to enforce because often by the time a complaint is sent via 311 and a Parking Control Officer arrives, the vehicle has already left. Cameras on buses and on PCO vehicles are one of the most effective ways to combat this issue. Thank you to the SFCTA for supporting AB 1837.
Additionally, we are a part of a coalition supporting AB 2276 and we strongly encourage the Board and SFCTA staff to actively support this bill.
AB 2276, the Stop Super Speeders Act, would allow courts to mandate the use of Intelligent Speed Assistance devices for the most egregious, repeat speeders. Speeding is one of the leading causes of preventable traffic deaths in the US and repeat offenders are not being stopped by traditional penalties. Intelligent Speed Assistance devices can stop collisions due to speeding before they happen.
Following an extremely heavy week of three pedestrian fatalities and another collision resulting in a person biking seriously injured, we need to be taking every step possible to prevent more tragedies like these. We urge you to support these bills and be relentless in your efforts to achieve Vision Zero.
Thank you.
