the plan to eliminate the gaps for 25 percent of the ridership and we're focusing on gaps we thought was meaningful. how long you're waiting for a bus or are there 3 stacked up behind it and the other was to improve the moral of the people who work in the organization. and in the 6 years the two big goals we set in the plan but which was first to move the needle on the first policy smile 60 percent of the trillion trip in san francisco are taken in a single automobile.

we had set a goal in this plan to drive that number down to 50 or looking at the glass half full was to increase the number of trips taken on muni or on bike on foot in taxis for half the trips in san francisco. the other mine goal or highlight for the 6 year that goal was to eliminate the structural capital infrastructure that i reserved at the start. so pretty significant roles we set for ourselves >> welcome. so i have questions about those two goals we want to achieve by

2018 in terms of how realistic they are given current funding six and i've said this publicly what i believe is the lack of support in this building for funding our transportation system. so the goal is to reduce personal all use in terms of trips from 61 percent to 50 percent that's approximately a 20 percent reduction in personal all trips as a percentage >> yes on that order of magnitude. >> that's a pretty significant reduction over 5 years; right? >> we talked about really were those two overreaching and the

end we went for things we thought were very aggressive but we thought were achieveable and for a city that's had a transit goal 50 percent is achieveable but it will take not only money but a political will and collaboration with our partners. >> frankly, i give credit where credit is dewey think that mta is moving in a positive destruction for taxis. and i applaud the agency for its work on taxis in terms of improving transportation.

we're movie on biking and with respects i'm commitmenty on the folks but it will not improve also, we improve muni service. we know and i know >> going to talk about the fact we doesn't have one single light rail vehicle so if one goes out of service it doesn't get replaced. i know that i've technicalitiesed you where the vehicles are or aren't and some of the regular problems we see. the results in part from the investment and one of the questions is are we really going

to be able to make up the funding in the building that shortchange transit. and in addition how do you see the agency becoming more efficient? i think it's a two prong thing. we need to have important funding to shore up the muni system and to accumulate the significant population growth that we'll see in the coming decades. but the flip side of that is muni getting more efficient? reducing that's costs how it uses the funding. >> yeah, so those are great questions and very big questions. i don't have a crystals ball but

we're making some sdriefr. it's not where we needed to be but we got into the city's capital this year in ways the mta had never been part of this process. so getting support within the capital plan that's since been approved by the this board for some dedicated funds we have to, no revenues for. in this budget the two year budget we closed the budget we've hiefrd 50 new mechanics as a result of this funding for there are steps with city hall

support. i know your participating in the mayors task force and really their key charge to help us figure how to close the gaps. yet another possible funding sources - as i said at the beginning we have big holes that we need to fill. we need as a city to think how to do that. i think there's some good initial steps in this first year. we're not yet to close those gaps but there's some wheels moving in that direction. so that's the money coming in on the how we use it does. i'll talk in the next slide

about some of the operational things we're doing in muni. i think one of the reasons that the mta hired me was to bring some management leadership in terms of being able to dive down costs and reduce the ranks of the manages that we higher. there are a number of capital improvements we're putting in place in terms of upgrading the rails and we are trying to slow down the train system so there's a lot of - some of those deferred investments will have some operable benefits.

on both sides there's movement to achieve those improvements. there are many policy improvements largely in the mta directors but their influenced by the folks who sit in this room and it's how we allocate space in the right-of-way that has a direct impact as to how fast the buses can traffic. so we will need to work together within the city not just within city hall if we're going to achieve those pretty aggressive goals >> i agree we need to keep building pill support in this chamber also in room 2 hundred for financial support for

transportation. we really - the rug keeps getting pulled out from under us. we sawhis for mega hospitals that everyone kept talking about oh, let's use the vehicle license fee and now we're hearing rumblings but that means less for muni and it should go to associate services but every time we have an option for more revenue this monies gets used for someone else. i think it's an ongoing process to build support where policymakers really focus and prioritize to keep the transit money for transit instead of

something else >> we need to earn the credibility on the funding side and the policy side so when we're trying to earner the support we've earned the support in both funding and policy. i agree with you >> supervisor mar. >> i know you're only on slide 4 but i appreciate your critical approach in how your uncomfortable the transportation system. with the 50/50 slit of ate vs. alternate forms of transportation. could you give us the slit of bicycling and taxi what's the

split? >> the bike would be 9 percent. so the the thought 50 by two 18 would be bikes. we're only at four and a half percent today. the transit share, you know, is in the probability mid 30s and the bulk of the budget is still small like the taxi in terms of percentage but the bicycle is 9 and as we've talked about your bike strategy we've talked about the investment we think we need in the next 5 to 10 years and then there's a large number to get to the large 20 percent

which is an extremely ambitious goal. it's not just funding that makes that challenge difficult it's the decisions about how we make our right-of-way and we're - i think getting to 9 will take a lot and getting to 20 will be a very significant achievement >> okay. okay. >> so i don't need to go into detail but i didn't want to talk about our budget without talking about the things we've achieved in the past. we've implemented outdoor bordering and getting more strategy of our services trying to make sure the supply of

service meets the demand. so we've made some adjustments during different times of year. we're looking line byline to adjust to shift from elsewhere. we're getting a lot of replacement and where in the midst of overhauling buses and replacing another collapsed year up to 1 hundred and 20 buses we've got a lot of railroad transit. and we're being more technology basis. and really investing and continuing to focus on safety and security. so that's the on muni side.

elsewhere i think you're all well aware of some of the bikes projects that we're proposing to do. we've got bike share coming in august. and we're using the fund we've got from prop b to coordinate and we're doing bicycle improvement. reference was made to taxis a lot of the things weighing we're excited but it increasing the number of taxis on the street and the ability of people to get them the technical. and in the next 6 months we'll see some improvements in taxis

and they'll do some of the trips where muni or bikes you won't work. in terms of parking we're trying to make our enforcement more - reducing revenues on the citation side but increasing meters. and in some of the bigger picture working on the the bigger projects the candle stick park and the mission bay assessment we're doing. we're working much more closely with the transit transportation up front with the development so

we're not playing catch up later. i didn't mention car sharing but we want to significantly expand the car share parking. another critical part of making transit first where people need to car but doesn't need to own one. on to the budget. the middle column you'll see on the expenditures slide includes carried forward. but from the baseline transfer the news on that keeps getting better. so we certainly benefit. another quarter comes from transit fairs so at the farebox

we're getting about a quarter. and a percentage of muni alone we're up to 20 percent. parking meters and citations and permits get another quarter. and if you add another for tickets then the balance comes from operating grants. it was in trouble at the state level but the only operating grant we get is from paratransit. so that's generally, the budget picture. i know it's hard to compare but

if you take that out of the equation we're looking for $3 million slightly above budget. but with a comfortable enough margin on the budget see. on the expenditure side again not a whole lot of significant changes. we add the maintenance positions we added only a half fte in the half year because of the details in hiring. and some of the increases particularly in the funding the jump is in the position. what's on the right is the kind of themes is reducing over time and developing in maintenance

and safety. we've beefed-up crossing guard. but if we look at what we have improved we're to be one half million dollars better. we're slightly on expenditures and slightly over on the revenue side. so over time i know it continues to be a great interest and certain to me. we had been running well over $50 million a year and million dollars our budget last year was only $32 million. my belief was both numbers were wro

wrong. so we increased the budget going into this first year by about $10 million. and we've been actively working at reducing the overtime. we're at a $16 million reduction. so we're going tracking a little bit higher but still it's a pretty big reduction and to meet our next budget for next year we've got to drive that adopt. we've been hiring part time folks. and we have not been to bring in folks as fast as we want to but that size you reduction is clearly the right direction

still a lot of these room for improvement and want to get down to that that $37 million for next year. another issue is work orders. i want to try to categorize them. we have to pay for energy we generally pay through a work order because we pay the puc for them. if we were in lease space they'd show up in a rent >> utility line. they show up as a work order. there are some services we have to use by the city signatures

the city attorney's office. we get allocated a share of some city functions like the controllers office and payroll system and i think even a little bit of the supervisors their city functions that get allocated out to other city agencies so we pay our share. the next line is a basically a portion of the police department work order that pays for the traffic policy. a number of years ago before any of us were here decided that the trapths department should pay for that traffic funding.

but the policy nexus is the traffic company is enforcing traffic and the thing is reasonable >> supervisor? >> just as we're talking about work orders i have a certain with regard to balboa station. this advisory committee had passed a resolution last week calling on the mta to make sure that the facilities around the station get cleaned sufficiently. it was brought up to the mayor a

couple of years ago. and it was a profound difference before and after. and we're sliding a little bit on that. it's always a solution to identify the areas if that can get addressed. >> i know you had mentioned that to me a couple of months ago and i thought we had resolved that. we do have is a capital project that's a rerailing of our own yard there but it will bring some improvements on the san jose side. so we want to make sure it's clean up >> the resolution identifies

certain things and the oceanside was on there as well but the mta can be the lens it would be greatly appreciated. >> and we'll make sure we work with the balboa park folks. >> thank you. and i agree it's important for work orders to take them case by case. in terms of the police work order was the in terms of amount? >> so you'll see the policy nexus line i want the only thing in there is the traffic order order we pay for 75 percent of the work order now we pay a $3 million for the police work

order and that's more are of a service. what's in the approved budget. i know the mayor's office has not put digit e together and approved the budget yet. but specifically with regard to the police department work order it's proposing a reduction of that work order by $5 million. i don't know if we want to kind of get into the mixes of how that works but we're anticipating the mayors proposed budget will fund that $5 million of those police services from within the general fund or another resources >> i think that's positive to

convey that to the mayor's office. i have never been a fan of the police work order to the mta. i actually think that nexus is tenuous at best the mta should not be paying anything to the police. in terms of quote/unquote security on muni that's the police of our public spaces and that should not be paid directly from muni. it's positive to be moving down from $5 million i hope it's not a one-time change i hope it becomes a permanent baseline >> i hope it's no a permanent

baseline i hope it's a first step. >> i was hoping. >> almost all traffic agencies pay for their own security. but there's no other transit agency that pays for the police. again there was a decision made many years ago when the general fund was under constrain we're in a different time now i think it's great to hear frndz the mayor's office >> i understand part of the muni money got swipt over to the police department. but it sound like we're is it a fair statement, to correct that >> and i guess i'll wait until the budget cites to see the

mechanism. so that's the good news i'm sorry >> i'm like my colleagues what they said their pleased and they notes the $5 million reduction is being worked out. i'm also i guess i'll see say that i hope you work that out and i don't want to see 7 point something million dollars and it sounds like you're making strides >> yes, it reflects the 10 for the traffic company and whatever the balance is to get up to the ur
