An accomplished marketing professional, Marc Caposino has contributed to many San Francisco organizations and public agencies, such as the Mayor's Office, the Department of the Environment, and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. During his six years as marketing director for the SFMTA, Marc Caposino helped develop many popular programs, including Sunday Streets, an initiative that encourages physical activity and community recreation by transforming miles of city streets into car-free areas. Established in 2008, Sunday Streets aims to combat obesity by providing large public areas where residents can participate in free activities and receive information from a number of health and non-profit groups.
In 2013, the Sunday Streets program introduced Play Streets, a program that helps community members create smaller versions of the event in their own neighborhoods. The program is designed to offer recreational opportunities for youth in neighborhoods that lack access to resources, utilizing one or two blocks of city streets and featuring locally led and organized events. Play Streets draws on the planning expertise of Sunday Streets to provide San Francisco youth and families with physical activities and nutritional information to positively impact their health.
