this program go forward all the parties want to work with the city and will allow people to live together. i'm not a new arriveal i'm not not a techie i still live in san francisco accident city prides itself on doing things for the assignment and taking cars off the rod i can only speak about my own experience. i came down her today to express myself and figure out where we can improve the program and that's by doing the pilot program >> next speaker >> first name freddie i want to

say thank you to president chiu, you know, a lot of times we try to change and macro things better it's not about scapegoating being jourz or tech workers or techies arne of that look at the situation and finding for innovative ways for solutions. yes, they counterpart buses are not perfect but thinking about the 35 thousand cars off the road for a year is a positive impact on the environment and i say the merits should go forward

and we'll work on the improvements and at the same time, we should look at the upside of it and in the overall scheme of the things the police cruiser out weeks ago taking 30 thousand cars off the roads per year and plus the environment which is very important a conjunction and all of that thank you very much >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i'm ethics i live in the hate ashbury in district 5. i work at google in mountain view and ride the shuttle everyday i write software and i don't own a car because of the shuttles i walk or take muni

just about everywhere it's unfeasible to take the shuttles in the hate ashbury. without the shuttles i would derivative alone or in a carpool with two or three people and have a larger impact on the parking clearing the roads is a public go and stopping shuttles is not the way forward please put this shuttle approved >> next speaker . good evening. i'm francesco can

thank you for your attention and time >> didn't go thank you so much four your times i'm leslie miller i'm a golden employee i'm a resident and renter in san francisco. i ask you to support in pilot program thank you >> next speaker. >> i'm from the associations i'm here to speak up for myself we didn't known a meeting, however, i called uppermost of the associations around the city. acquit frankly the shuttle business themselves are not effecting us that much they come in the morning and evening so with the parking we're not effected. there's one person that said in their area, however, that

landlords are saying look we've got all those buses coming in here so we are going to ask for more rent for that our store fronts on the other hand, another one spoke said i don't mind buses coming by because people will see my store. i think it's a great thing really which it's all said and denouncing done personally if by the doesn't have buses could you imagination how crowded muni would be. a two hour one way trip for those folks to take. also i've talked to accountability people but people saying unrelated to the buses themselves effecting the situation but it's intimidating

and should pay for other services but on the whole it's a go thing. thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, i'm jeremy the director for the xoernl fairs for the innovation of technology in san francisco. i come to you not only representing sf city but representing over 8 hundred and 60 partners in san francisco locally and fwoi thousand employees by also a a fifth generation san franciscan living in the city we ask the board to reject the challenge in favor of the pilot program in hopes of easy congestion for the policy first thank you very much.

>> thank you. next speaker, please i'm adrian i also work with the bay area couldn't and am a resident of district 9. we've heard about displacement and there's 0 no one saying this is a concern and the appellants are arguing the shuttles are thriving but i ask you to consider statistics san francisco created over 28 thousand jobs last year and in silicon valley those numbers are 48 thousand jobs and absence better on heirs but still around 3 thousand housing units so if you have a region that's attracting people and attracting jobs you're going to faces a housing crisis those shuttles

are a symptom not a cause given the carbon and the benefits those shilts have provided and given some of the tortures logic how the buses are saying its bad. the environment i urge you to support f this policy >> consulting and board of supervisors i'm am a long-term member of supervisor london breed's district 5 i was born in supervisor cowen district 24 years ago isle i've been going here from k through 12 i went to cal state and came back to san francisco because i wanted to revisit in my community.

i would going to speak tonight but after hearing and being here 8 hours tonight it is important we work together and have unregulated shilts going on throughout the city we lose the data it's important we know it's important to have, you know, transportation and in which people aren't riding alone i got any driver's license when i was 21 her in san francisco i don't need a driver's license number but if you are going to the peninsula you do. and see what i'm saying i really urge you guys do consider it and

keep the pilot program it's important to continuing the model between the city and the tech industry to work together. thank you. next speaker. >> good evening. i'm verona i work for golden i'm a resident of district 7 i was born and raised there i came back to her i love this city i take the shuttle and ride is daily there's been comments can't people take muni and shuttles they're not inclusive. i just urge you to deny the appeal and allow the program to move forward to collect the data we need toad insure that program is the impacts are mitigate and even though people are commented

to work together. thank you. >> good evening. i'm speaking on behalf of latino democratic club i want to talk about the benefits this pilot program can bring i think it's great this pilot program didn't have input from neighborhoods like the politician. i want to thank the coordinate of the latinos corresponding to the shuttle in 10 years. thank you for the pilot program for also allowing the violation of california 225 hundred being specially exempted and thank you for the pilot program and thank you to the shuttle buses to allowing 40 percent of people responding to people where they'll move corresponds to work

or to use the shuttle buses to travel to their jobs. i want to thank the pilot program for looking for an exemption to environmental impact report and bicycles i support the quality of transit and thank you to the pilot program it has exempt privileges than bilks in and thank you to the sfmta i wish we could have more public input >> no, thank you for not having more public input. >> excuse me. sir, i testified. >> i talked about - >> you can only testify open one side or the other.

any other members of the public wish to speak we're finished with the public comment. sir, you have up to 3 minutes >> this is not class warfare in some point the rich and powerful should be held to the same standards. when sfmta muni wants to do a improvement project now the particular iron i didn't hear is the golgz shuttles are interfering with muni effectiveness you've got an iron ironic ironicic situation a a project is to improve muni has to do american people eir and one

doesn't. one is the baseline and two is the substantial period of. the the baseline there's no case not even sacramento that allows the baseline to the be the law there was no law that prohibited a runway at the airports this was like the tahoe case it was not reverses by the ethnic circuit they other day with the trial court on the baseline issue. the disagreement had to be with the contract issue that's different. also even if you accepted the excited condition at the baseline and they told you they do know what the baseline is that's the problem they said that the agree didn't have

substantial evidence to support their baseline so even if we accepted the illegal situation at the baseline the mta has milled they're developing a whole new network of appeals court shuttle networks. this is with an was an ironic change but clearly one hand so not talking to the other the stopped are changing in not a status quo also the city a change the law most important the city has amended the transportation code to make it legal for business to to the at the shuttle stops this will increase the number of shuttles operators the number of shuttles stops and finally as the subsequential evidence there was

let's talk about the budget analyst report even if i don't believe our experts p are experts this program is having impacts on road derargs >> thank you very much colleagues, any questions to any of the parties. supervisor campos >> thank you, mr. president, i don't have any questions for appellant i do want to ask the budget and administrative analysis through the chair people know i'm a big fan of harvey rose and his team we're fortunate to have information is mr. rose in terms of just understanding some of the facts that a

that a that are implicated here you talked about the citations that were with the section of code we're talking about. and can you a little bit that a little bit you look at the period of january 1st to february 25, 2014, because i want to know morning more or less to the extended we're not enforcing the citations how much is money is the city leaving open the table >> members of the board and everyone i'd like to mr. ring with the harmonies of liberty; so to address our question. >> thank you.

>> the citation from january 1st naivete to 2014 there were 13 thousand 85 citations issued of which 45 were issued to shuttles that being the enter city shuttles. >> what percentage is that. >> it's .3 percent. >> so less than one percent. >> a thirsted of one percent. >> correct. >> can you tell me about how much the city gets per citation my the citation fee is 2. >> i pledge allegiance to the flag and $71 whenever a vehicle

refuses the citation. we had a number wyoming be the illegal stops would be $1.1 million a day that's assuming 4 thousand 21 stops from sfmta the stops that occur in a day. >> assuming that they had enough traffic officers to issue the so i guess for the life of the pilot how much money is the city choosing not to collect in the citations. based on the $1 million a day for the 18 most period i'm not doing it calculations off the top of my head it's substantial

>> maybe you can make that and come back to us. >> they would get a citation again and again. we assume that behavior with change after a southern amount of citations but if not well >> in a given day 3 hundred and via million. >> it's 3 hundred and 65 million. >> do you have a sense of how it is that thought 13 hundred - 13 thousand citations optional fyi were to the shuttles how does that happen. >> we required mta and the police department about their

policy for issuing citations most develops said they don't have a policy issuing citations to shuttles but i would somewhere is in both case it's proitsz with the parking control officers making the citations of the seriousness of the violations relative to the other dudes they have to perform and a similar response was provided by the police department. they juggle with with their other responsibilities >> maybe i can ask that question of muni director reiskin can you explain of the 13 thousand citations issued a few were for the shuttles.

>> i don't believe we have good data to know how many the citations have gone to the shuttles we don't know the companies that are operating the shuttles so we don't have any roadway as i understand to look through the citation data to contribute them to the shuttles but who this number is correct i can't speak to the percentage of the citations to the uses. >> mr. rose members to clarify the data the fyi that we got were from the mta and the police department who didn't originate the citations. >> 45 were issued to the

shuttles was there a policy not to cite the buses. >> there was not. >> what is it a priority to cite those buses how does that happen. >> it's not a priority as the gentleman said we have i can't any public comment? speak to the police department but we have priorities for the police department this is not one of them, no distribution to prioritize this particular mode embodiment >> the why wouldn't sites with respect to that not be a priority. >> we've received complaints we

do enforce based on the complaints around the traffic improvement that's complaint based i accept those numbers come from the sfmta i don't think we have good understanding looking at the data but it's exactly the ad hoc nature of enforcement that we acknowledge is not meeting the muni riders which is the reason for the pilot. >> i know i have comments so i want to have a final question for mr. rose. of the 13 thousand citations who received those citations do you

have a sense of who those were issued to >> supervisor campos i would say from the information most of them are to private vehicles. >> the residents? >> residents or anybody driving in san francisco that's illegal stopping in a bus zone. >> thank you. >> supervisor avalos. >> just a question for the gentleman. i feel like i've been flying the dead horses business for awhile we've been talking about the ruling about, you know, court of appeals could you go deeper into that >> it's complabltd i admit. the tahoe case is a federal district court case and

published those are contrary to what the city attorney said are authority if their published unlike state courts the ethnic district is unpublished it reversed the trial court but the district court i have it downloaded the ethnic district >> i've been hearing the ethnic court rolled not against the baseline but from the city attorney side it swept up the baseline. >> the ethnic district decision is not it's short in the first paragraph they agree with the district court the t rp a had no

basis for the legal opinion so the agency decided not to use the police as the baseline so it till came out right to the plaintiffs and the illegal activity was not the baseline. the other decision a state supreme court decision a that's not published so it's not citeable but it's right, in fact, that's the court we're going to we're going cross the street to superior court it might be a smarter just he agreed that illegal activity for failure to enforce the law is

not right and the cases which were unpermitted activity so, in fact, there was a failure to get a permit for the airport expansion and neither would be illegal it wasn't illegal to have an airport there or a stone inquire it's illegal under state law to park a public bus in a red zone it's flat out illegal and the city attorney sdapsz around it. my next question is from the city attorney side you're talking about as through the state law is contrary the red zone is not to be
