This $19,965,495 federal Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Environmental and Climate Justice Community Change Grants Program (CFDA 66.616) will fund the "TI Connects" initiative implemented by the Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency (TIMMA) in San Francisco, CA. The project comprises six complementary components to expand clean public transportation resources and reduce emissions in the Treasure Island community, a disadvantaged area:
- A microtransit pilot connecting Treasure Island residents to key mainland San Francisco resources
- A community circulator shuttle improving access on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island
- Enhancements to existing MUNI bus service
- Electric ferry charging infrastructure to support zero-emission ferry service
- Implementation of bikeshare on Treasure Island
- A transportation resource center providing jobs, training, and affordable transit planning for low-income residents
The award will benefit disadvantaged communities living on Treasure Island by promoting equitable access to education, employment, and health facilities, while also reducing exposure to harmful pollutants through mode shifts away from personal vehicles. The project will be implemented in partnership with the community-based organization One Treasure Island and other key agencies including the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority.
