Assistant Engineer, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency
Peter C. Martin, P.E.,

The first presentation will focus on San Francisco's experience with transit signal priority for the Third Street light rail operation using VISSIM as the tool for analyses and evaluation.
The second presentation discusses the expansion of San Francisco's historic streetcar service. Plans to extend service westward from its current terminus in Fisherman's Wharf to Fort Mason Center will be assessed. The viability/benefits of semi- exclusive ROW operations and the form of traffic priority are key planning issues for this one-mile extension. Preliminary findings of the VISSIM analyses of these traffic integration issues will be described.
