Project Description
The SFMTA Train Control Upgrade Project (TCUP) will replace Muni Metro’s aging 1980s-era Automatic Train Control System with a modern Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) system throughout San Francisco’s 71-mile rail network. To be delivered in seven phases, TCUP will first modernize train control in the Metro subway followed by implementation on the surface street Metro corridors. CBTC technology enables high-precision train positioning and enhanced automation of train control while increasing system capacity and throughput.
Key Features
- Projected to expand Muni Metro's capacity by up to 20% percent while reducing travel and wait times for riders.
- Complex phased delivery covering two subway sections and six surface street Metro corridors with new service projected to enter operation from 2029 to 2034.
- Improved connectivity, system reliability, and operational flexibility for underserved communities throughout San Francisco.
