Muni and BART suck? Where did you come from – Switzerland? They certainly aren’t perfect no transit system could do a good job with the disbursed, suburban locations of many of the high-tech firms. You completely forgot to mention bicycles.
And why complain about the lack of “affordable parking unless you’re really interested in promoting more single-occupancy auto usage?

And don’t forget this one, first offered in late 2008, http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-bike-computer/id296643185?mt=8. I know, I designed it.

Def agree that SF is a great testbed for clean transportation but there’s some interesting stuff happening here in San Diego, too. car2go recently launched the first all-EV car sharing service in North America (the only other market trying this biz model is Amsterdam) and has seen HUGE adoption rates and usage within their service territory. This is a big win given not only how hard it is to get around San Diego without a car but also its spurring more movement around further EV charging infrastructure. SD had the most charging stations but its needed in all markets in CA, particularly those recipients of the EV Project grants.
