San Francisco's transportation landscape is at a pivotal moment as residents express a strong desire to shift towards more sustainable and active modes of travel. A poll out of the non-partisan organization, GrowSF, reveals that city residents show a growing interest in riding the Muni, walking, and cycling to get around.
