What is the status of the Geary Corridor light rail line?
A preliminary study of the Geary corridor has been completed and the conclusions resulting from that study was to proceed with a rail based project. At this time, there are two more studies that must be completed in order to change service on Geary to rail-based service. The first of these is a Major Investment Study (MIS), required by the federal government. However, there is no financing plan for this project and until a financing plan is developed, The SFMTA will not conduct an MIS. Significantly, the preliminary Central Subway plans provide for grade-separated junctions for a future Geary rail line connection with the Central Subway. Information about a Geary Bus Rapid Transit study (at sfcta.org) is available.
