in the house and senate but we're talking about extending the bill for at least the next few years and will continue to monitor the progress with the transportation commission and with our partners we'll keep you posted. this goal to avert the bankruptcy of the highway trust fund to make sure we plan for our capital needs. at the state level the cap and trade proposal realized imply permanently steinberg that take into consideration talks about an expenditure program and the governor provided a picture with the new proposal from the senate permanently includes direct funding to transit by 25 percent 20 percent for affordable housing and 20 percent for high

speed rail so we see the right components in the bill and hope we'll come together to provide stability and certainty for the community going forward throughout the state. we have been coordinating with the mayor's office and the sfmta and others agencies as well as the sales force agencies known as the self-help coalition we had visits from sacramento this month to discuss our hopes and advocacy around cap and trade other statewide efforts we met with senator leno and others as well as staff from the pro tems office as well as support for

our priority likes high speed rail and transit and other needs as affordable housing. we talked about pedestrian safety and vision zero they very much support our efforts they're an effort to help to explore awkward tucks and legislation in conjunction with sfmta and we talked about clean up legislation we're purring for treasure island mobility management programs. at the local level chair avalos talked about the workshops it's been a good way to start the process there's a lot of good work we need to share citywide and we hope all the open houses continue to attract the public we're getting good suggestions that are equitable and effective way to move forward in terms of
