Muni Safe Driver Award winners smile at our 2023 Safe Driver Award dinner.
Celebrating operators at our 2023 Safe Driver Award dinner.

It’s not easy to drive a cable car, streetcar or 40-foot bus through the streets of San Francisco – maneuvering around construction, parades and protests, rain or shine. And that’s not to mention the possibility that a few of the passengers on board may not be having one of their best days. Now imagine doing all that and doing it safely every single time. 

That’s what our Safe Driver Award winners do, day in and day out.  

Operators who drive at least 1,952 hours without any preventable incidents or collisions during the fiscal year (July – June) earn a safe driving record for that year.  

This weekend, we’ll recognize operators who have met that standard for 15 years or more at our annual Safe Driver Awards dinner. 

Of the 229 operators we are honoring, 85 have between 15 and 19 years of safe driving. One operator, Oliverio Valle, has 49 years of safe driving under his belt! 

This year, nearly a thousand operators met our safe driving standard for at least one year. We thank these 982 operators for their excellent work. 

Our Muni operators keep the city moving through thick and through thin. They got essential workers to their jobs during the most difficult phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. They brave smoke-filled air during wildfire seasons. They face street flooding during heavy rains. At the end of 2023, they navigated traffic delays and transit reroutes when more than 20,000 visitors came to San Francisco for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. 

The next time you ride Muni, please make an extra effort to appreciate your operators.  

They make sure we get to our destinations safely so we can live our daily lives and enjoy our great city.

Help Make Muni Safe for Everyone

Help Make Muni Safe for Everyone By Mariana Maguire New Muni “no harassment” symbol The safety of our customers and staff is a top priority for the SFMTA. That is why we are launching MuniSafe – a campaign to increase reporting of gender-based harassment through recently expanded incident reporting options. If you experience or witness an incident, help us make MuniSafe by reporting it using the Muni Feedback form at SFMTA.com/MuniFeedback, the 311 mobile app or by calling 311. Non-English speakers should call 311 for language-assisted reporting. Gender-based harassment takes many forms, affects many people and is absolutely not tolerated on Muni. Survivors should report incidents to the San Francisco Police Department if they feel comfortable doing so. By also reporting incidents directly to the SFMTA, you will help us track events that occur in our system so we can build better safety responses and direct resources to reduce gender-based harassment. New car cards that will be...
