SEC. 8A.112. PARKING AND TRAFFIC
§ 8A.112
The Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors takes over all powers and duties formerly held by the Parking and Traffic Commission, including authority over parking matters under state law. The Agency's board chair designates which directors serve on the Parking Authority Commission, and the Director of Transportation may serve as Parking Authority Executive Director without extra pay.
San Francisco's transportation agency now handles all the parking and traffic responsibilities that a separate commission used to manage. The head of the transportation agency's board picks which board members also sit on the parking authority. The city's transportation director can do both jobs—running the transportation agency and running the parking authority—at the same time without getting paid extra for the parking job.
- Complex:The section cross-references state law (Streets and Highways Code § 32657) and involves overlapping board memberships and ex officio roles that may be unfamiliar to typical readers.
- Could be simpler:The phrase 'It is the policy of the City and County that the Agency exercise all powers vested by State law in the Parking Authority' could be stated more directly as 'The Agency has full parking authority powers under state law.'
