About the Park Division

The Presidio, formerly a 1,491-acre Army base, is now a new kind of national park. The park offers unique recreation, hospitality, and educational opportunities, and is home to thousands of residential and non-residential tenants. A unique federal agency, the Presidio Trust is a national park site that generates its own revenue from leasing over 700 former military buildings as homes and workspaces. We invest that revenue into our historic forest, trails, designed landscapes, historic buildings, infrastructure, visitor sites and programs, and our people, to make this magnificent place come alive for our park visitors. The Presidio Trust uses this revenue in combination with federal transportation funding to maintain and upgrade its transportation systems – from new Presidio Go shuttle buses to bike and pedestrian projects.

The Park Division plays a critical role in welcoming people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds and sustainably managing park resources. The Transportation Office advances the Trust's mission and strategic goals by developing and implementing projects that:

• Make it convenient to get to the Presidio's most popular destinations without a car
• Enhance the experience of traveling by foot, bike, or transit within the park
• Reduce GHG emissions from trips to/from and within the Presidio
• Minimize the environmental impact of transportation-related infrastructure
• Eliminate serious injuries from road collisions and tripping hazards
• Maintain the existing network and transit infrastructure in a state of good repair
