Overview

• Roughly 8,000 additional municipal employees are now working in person four days per week under Mayor Daniel Lurie’s directive.
• The rollout follows a postponed April start after negotiations with two major unions.
• The city’s Human Resources Department says about 24,000 employees—roughly 70% of the workforce—already work in person five or more days a week.
• SFMTA is adding trips on the 1 Express and increasing 30X service to ease crowding and improve connections to the Financial District.
• Business groups anticipate higher sales and tax receipts downtown, though some small businesses report deep revenue losses and staffing shortages that could slow expanded hours.
