On Thursday August 21, Mayor Lurie announced that Uber and Lyft Black cars, in addition to Waymos, will begin driving on Market Street starting next week.

Write a letter to Mayor Lurie and the SFMTA Board today asking them to reverse course on this decision.

This move goes against the SFMTA Board’s decision in 2019 to remove cars from Market Street in order to decrease traffic congestion, improve transit speed and reliability, increase safety, and create a more welcoming and sustainable downtown.

Data clearly shows that Market Street with cars is more dangerous for people who walk, bike, ride scooters, take transit, and even drive. Crashes on Market, once the most dangerous street in San Francisco, fell by 40% after cars were removed.

This plan will also undermine years of progress toward a more efficient transit system and slow down Muni, which has seen a remarkable 14% increase in speed and efficiency on Market since the removal of cars.

The Keep Market Street Moving coalition is calling on Mayor Lurie and the SFMTA Board of Directors to reverse course on allowing cars on Market Street, and focus instead on solutions that prioritize the thousands of people who ride transit, bikes, and walk downtown instead of just a few people who can afford to take luxury car services.
