additional local regulations that are unnecessary and due mriktive. [inaudible] operates under a transportation company [inaudible] on april 7, 2014. tncs are regulated by the state just like tpc and there's no meter rational for additional regulation. the tnc permit from the puc requires many of the things talked about today -- driving roshd checks, $1 million commercial insurance, and planned surrounding providing accessibility for wheelchairs. uber and myself have met with sfmta to ask how we can [inaudible] accessible vehicles. as written in this resolution does not accurately take into account the ways in which puckuc currently regulates tncs. san francisco transit first policy [inaudible] the primary object i have of transportation
6:01 pm
system should be the [inaudible] driver partners, riders and the cpuc to better the system and we're always looking for ways to be the safest and most efficient ride on the road. thank you for your time. a: thank you very much. next speaker. >> hello, my name is beth and i'm a residents or district one for the past 15 years. i have been driving with lift for over a year. i'm also a part of the driver mentor program. before that i was working in non profit and also with the city and county of san francisco, but unfortunately i was laid off so lift has created income for me and also has created a supportive community among drivers. it's very different from any work environment i've been in, very positive, they've offered a lot of support to me. i, myself, am a professionally
6:02 pm
trained class b commercial driver, and despite what the press says i always wear my seatbelt and drive safely. it is my own car and i have insurance so especially with a passenger i am utmost safe. i, myself, have been threatened, cussed out, flipped off, attempted head on collision by cabbies and super shuttle. they often stop in the middle of the street to take a photo of my car or mustache or license plate, which creates a safety hazard. when i drop off passengers i promptly leave. originally when i was hired with lift over a year ago i did complete dmc and background checks. i, myself, am a former peace officer with san francisco so i am not a security risk to anyone. i appreciate the flexible hours
6:03 pm
working with lift and i can spend more time with my family, travel. before i drove i was a cyclist and was hit by a car so i'm very much aware of cyclists and pedestrians that are texting and walking. so i appreciate lift and thank you for your time. >> thank you very much. next speaker. is there any additional public comment on item 7? okay, seeing none. , public comment is closed. thank you everyone. supervisor cohen, i have distributed amendments. i did make the one change to the amendment to incorporate the concept that background checks con sis sent with the fair chance ordinance as i read into the record and i have that written out for the clerk if that would be helpful to the
6:04 pm
clerk. sistent with the fair chance ordinance as i read into the record and i have that written out for the clerk if that would be helpful to the clerk. i will make a motion to adopt the amendments that i've made. supervisor mar, the changes he suggested in my view are not consistent, i think, with the facts as i see them. i don't think that the bla report for example, finds that the tncs are a threat to public safety. i think a report by the budget and legislative analysts showed that the current minimal regulation of tncs poses a significant potential lierment for the city and county of san francisco taxi drivers, i don't agree with that. and then the last resolve that was suggest ed is inconsistent
6:05 pm
with recognizes that tncs are part of our transporation system. the resolution amended incorporates a significant portion of supervisor mar's, including the concepts around needing better insurance, safety, background checks and the like. >> just reading supervisor mar's recommendation for item number 7. i'm going to read it into the record. it says, "resolved that the san francisco board of supervisors urges the san francisco mta to develop a plan for incorporating tncs into san francisco's transportation system, including the protection of accessible
6:06 pm
services and enhanced safety regulations in cooperation of cpuc within six months of the passage of this resolution. kwtsz " >> right, so whereas the -- what i proposed is that final whereas clause states -- hold up here -- that the san francisco board of supervisors find that post taxis and tncs are part of san francisco's transportation system, as well as transit first policy. >> i see, so you're not making a distinction between tncs. >> right. they're both part of the system. if you plan to develop a plan to incorporate them into the system, which is a way of saying that [inaudible] no disrespect to the sfmta, but we've seen where that got us. >> i'm happy to move forward with the recommendationings. i'd like to make a motion to
6:07 pm
adopt the resolutions. >> the ones -- >> the ones you have incorporated. >> the motion is to adopt amendments which i've distribute wd that one change to incorporate the fair chance ordinance. >> right. >> we'll take that without objection and then can i have a motion -- no, i'm sorry. this is a substantive amendment so we'll need to continue the item, mr. gib ner. >> that's right. >> any future day to this committee. >> i believe our next meeting is on the 7th so why don't we -- i don't have our -- the committee -- our forward calendar in front of me so i don't know if next week is a bear of a meeting or not. do you happen to know? i would suggest we continue them to the call of the chair and i'll schedule it within the
