endorsement of the coalition for san francisco, neighborhoods, and with the endorsement of western twin peaks council and several, many of the other people but those two are kind of the grassroots of it and so that is who we are. and the premise of our initiative, is the transportation policies, for the city. and it need to represent the needs of all of the people of san francisco and they should include the majority of san franciscans who find it necessary to use a car for one purpose or another. and also, the merchants that are depending on having the parking available for the business and we have no objection to the car share proposition. and in fact, the city needs and all of the above policy, on transportation. and there are two concerns that we have about it. and one is obviously losing another 450 spaces with no

thought about though to add that back anywhere. and it has been a long, long time since there has been any thought about adding space back when you take space away and the other is that many of our members feel that it is inappropriate for the city to rent public space, which is much in demand and much needed to private companies, when there are alternatives and you could add more space, off street. and you could have them use, private space. if you. thank you. >> next speaker please? >> brent obrian followed by haily orner and cath raoen rots. >> thank you. >> thank you, chairman nolan and director and the rest of the board i am the director of member experience with city car share and i am here today to ask that all of the remaining on street car share spots be approved today. and the second thing that i would like to do is to thank andy and jessica who have done an outstanding job and worked

tirelessly to get this process this far. and city car share as many of you know is the oldest and the non-profit car sharing organization, in the bay area. and we along with the other people who are participating in this, and would like to see these spaces approved. and for the last 13 years, city car share has worked to promote the responsible car sharing solutions and i think that the testament to that is our access mobile program for wheelchairs and as well as our low income programs through our community share programs. and so, we take the public right-of-way very seriously and we never do anything that would jeopardize that with either our members or our communities. for the past few months, we have worked tirelessly, with a number of groups, both personally, and with merchant associations in those cases, we

have got to talk to a lot of people when there has been objection and we have moved the spaces where we like it and worked best for the neighborhoods and when there are general objectives we are not able to call on some of our own data from the 12, on street, spaces that we had for the last two years and say that on average, those particular spaces in cars, served 20 individual different members each month. and in some cases it is 40 individual members each month and so what we like to ask the folks who ask about that is what we would they do without reasonable access to car share and the truth is if they would probably find that and buy the cars and so we would like not to have them do that. thanks. >> thanks. >> next speaker, please? >> haily orner, katherine, rots. and tone, and following miss vonrotpaden murphy. >> good afternoon. >> i would just like to say thank you to the board of

supervisors for giving me a chance for speak, i work full time with children with autism and i am also a graduate student. and i am also a member of peers, which is the dedicated to supporting and growing the sharing economy worldwide and more than 2500 people from san francisco have signed my petition to make the car sharing program available. and they signed it because they want to help to get proposed parking spots and to make sure that the program is a success. and i graduated college during the recession and the job that my parents generation had was not there for me and we are embracing government and initiatives and like the car sharing program and we are also learning to share what we already have. >> i wanted to say thank you for your commitment to making this program a reality. i know that we have many more hearings to approve of the 900 parking spots and i applaud your dedication and hard work and it is greatly appreciated by san franciscans like me that we are supportive of your

efforts. >> thank you. >> next speaker >> good afternoon. and good afternoon. to the members of the board. and i want to say that president, to the new member of the board. and my name is... and (inaudible), and i start with the present to say the policies and the asian societies. and you know, we are tested with the society that have gone on too many changes and we went from the horse and the buggy to the car and the buses and on and each time that there is always a position. and but, we learned to embrace and work with these new innovations and every time that we have a new innovation, the society will figure out how to use it. and this junction, 21st century, we need to continue to embrace innovation and encourage it and find out to use it to bring in more

revenue, and so the every new innovation and every new concept brings the revenue to the city and it makes it more efficient and creates more jobs for the city and which in turns, the revenue for the organization and bottom line and for your bosses and your employees and so, i am here to state in the affirmative that i support this car sharing concept and i think that it is a brilliant idea. and i think that it is new and innovative and it will go far away in san francisco, continue to be a leader. and in these new areas, and many of these, will be something in it and already jump in one end and we need to keep these companies here to continue, to make san francisco innovative for the 21st century. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> murphy, followed by tone lee who is the last person who has turned in the speaker card on

this item. >> and char man, director, and directors of the board, thank you very much and very briefly i want to introduce myself on behalf of get around. and my name is murphy and i am in support of getting these spots passed and i want to quickly speak to the benefits of getting around specifically, and kind of walk through some of the out reach that we have done in the community and echo, the statements where we have kind of moved the spots around, and when there has been real conflict and reasonable opposition. and then finally i want to read a couple of statements of support from folks who could not attend today. and so, some of you are familiar with get around is a peer to peer car sharing platform and so basically our get around connect technology turns any car into a connected car and so that means that an individual can walk outside, and find and rent and unlock a car from their phone or from our web app and it is free to

sign up and no membership cost and it is a mission, driven company and the mission is a real alternative to car ownership and much like the city car owns zip car and one of the things that is really important to think about is because we are using real people's cars who live in these neighborhoods we are not injecting any more cars in the neighborhoods the cars are already there and enables them to share the car when they are not using it with other neighbors in the community and so in instances where there might be opposition around at the high level saying there is a parking spot that is used what we know in fact that 9 to 13 cars will be offset because of this. and also, that the cars from get around are already there and the second piece is that it is peer to peer, the car owners right now, are sharing the vast majority of that revenue that comes from the car sharing and so the average owner on get around is getting $500 a month and so that means if you put 1,000 around the city and that translates to a $6,000 per year and about a $6 million private

sector stimulus, injected into the economy every year. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> and tone lee and he is the last foreign turn in a speaker card. >> thank you. >> and mr. chairman and very soon we have to change our city to the name of not san francisco. because we already have south san francisco. because we are losing our traditions, and some of the value in the city who in the public, and the buyer is going to buyer and a bicycle, and you look on the bicycle in the city and necessary, to make a traffic on the street and we are big, muni and taxi and regular kinds and one lane and like a parade and we are bicycling is empty and it is the same on folsom street as well and i don't know why we have five strong men that could not stop the one bicycle woman in this bar. but i do not blame you because you follow the political buyer and whatever the much mayor like and we follow and that is all that the buyer bought, and

i don't blame you because you need to keep that job and you don't want to pay and you want to show in the public of seeing it. and i tell you, that it is very danger in the city but i don't care, because just like 2003, as lee only to the congress woman is saying no, and we are saying, no, and in the iraqi war and it is saying he had in zero and back home, we lose, three and four back in there and everybody can get a house for this money and the same in san francisco and a lot of these, if you remember, 2008, and the plan is called, small muni, and serve it muni and it is like a small car and that happens in san diego now and you can drive it in the car and you can park anywhere and it is owned by whoever it is. they make money you on you and you don't get paid.

>> howard straner and maurine black. >> and just a quick l, and so my neighborhood, and our streets are not on this list and maybe they will be on in a few weeks and i just and i have been telling you that you have to educate these people and they just don't understand and i said that google, car share, and they found all of these sites that proved, that there is going to save about ten less parking demand for the ten less spaces for every car share car and so one of my... and said i didn't know that and so, that quieted down and so have you to do a lot of that kind of stuff to educate people and otherwise you are just going to get in an out roar and we have that initiative to deal with in november and it is about lack of understanding and so thank you very much. >> speaker please? >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon. thank you. my name is maurine block and i am the director of charge across town and we are a local non-profit and we are an

educational organization, and our goal is to move people to greener, cleaner modes of personal transportation, and i am an avid bike rider and electric car driver and i just want to endorse putting car sharing on the street and converting parking places for car sharing and there is so much infrastructure in the city is invisible to the average person and to give the people the opportunity to walk through the neighborhood and see in front of them the opportunity to share a car and jump in and rent a car rather than take their own personal vehicle on a trip is a great win for the city and i support this and i like the fact that we are bringing this to the streets so that the citizens can actually see it, thank you. >> thank you. >> and so anyone else, could i support on this one? >> seeing none, is there a motion on 10.6? >> motion, is there a second? >> second. >> motion and a second. >> further... >> i just want to say that this is something that i am supportive as a former member

of the planning commission, as we are planning the mark and the gas station sites we were losing a lot of the car share spots and this was an ongoing conversation about how we can bring back the spots and the places that we are contemplating the development and because those are where we are having the spaces and on the streets and the spaces that are one and something that we have often, wanted to see more of, specifically because, and particularly because when you have new buildings being built, and it can be onerous to have the spaces inside of the buildings and some of them don't want the spaces on site even though we require them at certain sizes and that helps to alleviate the problem and i am a user of i don't own a car and so i do use the car share services. >> could i add, also that i know that there is some concern that we have seen it in the letters and the e-mails to the board about the privatization of the spots and i feel like we do that and i have one in front of the building and it is a curb cut to the garage and that

privatizes that and we pay nothing for that and it allows us to get three or four cars in the garage, with yellow, green and white zones that the businesses pay for. and i think that even if you don't own a car, every citizen has the right to use that curb space and so i will director in not being a car owner but a car sharer and zip car user, and so where is my ability to use that curb space as everybody else uses that curb space. so i will just say that i am incredibly supportive of this as well and it is helping a lot of people live without owning a car in this city and anything that we can do to help the people live in the city without owning a personal car is a win for all of us whether we own a car, rent or borrow a car, or walk or take the bus, fewer cars is a good thing that we are going to benefit from. >> okay. >> thank you chairman and i just want to say that there are many of us that we are still a very far away from having

expecting everyone to live without a car, my wife and i share a car. we don't have a second car which is parked on the street because we are a member of a car share service, the other night, we were able to actually i was able to run two blocks up to 16th and rent a car and to go run some, errands and that is why it works for us and bet forea lot of people. my neighbors realize that we don't have a second car on the street because the one car that we have we park in the garage that we rent and we don't have a second car for that reason that we actually and my car was not accessible at that time instead of relying on a second car that would have been parked on the street all of the time i relied on a car that was available to the whole neighborhood that was three blocks away, but nevertheless, the point is that this will ultimately reduce the dependency that we all have, most of us still have on cars.

but, it does better, with the limited space that we have to keep the cars. >> 10.9 and i am in the transportation, code and to revise the fee schedule for the computer and the pilot program, for the year, 2015, and 2016. did you recuse rubke? >> yes. >> and so basically what this is doing, when we establish the pilot program that you approved, we gave you a sense of what we thought the cost recovery would look like, and which is based on the total program cost of divided by the number of stop events that we estimated at the time and this

was an estimate based on some what limited understanding of the shuttle industry, and we subsequently collected applications along with how many each will be making and we also have reviewed the program cost and while we are able to find some places to stream line, we did add the significant amount more resources to enforcement because we need to make sure that we have the enforcement resources there to make sure that the pilot is viable, meaning that the permanent providers are using only permitted stops and nobody, is using any other muni bus stops and that is really the corner stone of the pilot program, and so

>> members of the public. >> woods, followed by wendy, and then emily, loper. >> welcome. and my name is woods, and i share the mission bay, citizen's advisory committee, and we learned at our monthly meeting last thursday evening, about this proposed change in the rates for the shuttle

service. mission bay runs a tma, wait, it is a transportation demand management. and mandated shuttle service the last and the first mile between our neighborhood which i probably don't have to tell you does not have great muni service. we have got the t. eventually, the t ep will kick in and eventually the central subway will kick in, in the meantime, the shuttle service, which is opened to all residents, and all businesses, and all visitors. and is small buses and uses one, muni stop. and is being charged at the same rate as these enormous buses that go through the neighborhoods. and we don't think that is fair. and we don't think that is right. and we ask you not to approve,

these new rates, until we have had the opportunity to sit down with the staff which the transportation planners have been trying to do forever, to work out what we consider a fair and acquit able cost program, that differentiates between corporate sponsored shuttles and the tdm mandated shuttles services and please, don't approve these rates, on a one size fits all basis, because it is not one size fits all. thank you. >> next speaker. >> emily, and linda howkin. >> good afternoon. >> the shuttle is a component

of the tdm required by the mission bay redevelopment plan and i am here to ask you not to approve the revisions as proposed today. and we have also prepared a packet that we have given to the clerk, with over 36 letters from residents and employees and others, asking you to reconsider the fees associated with our participation. and we think that it is important to get the key policies structural and pricing elements right, for this pilot to work. and we are concerned that the current pricing will actually work against the goals of this program. and specifically, there are really important distinctions between transit hubs and neighborhood shuttle stops and all stops should not be treated alike and the current per pricing structure at transit hubs like cal tran and bart funishes frequency that is so critical at these stops and we are a city mandated service and we provide the shuttles to an

entire community and not just one company. and we serve a broad range of customers from blue collar and office workers to researchers and high-tech and retail and others, including ucsf. and last, but not least, we serve mission bay's growing residential population and we are funding solely by the mission bay, commercial and residential community. and we have finite resources and a limited ability to raise, revenue. and our drive alone rate of 18 percent, speaks to how it is in contributing to the transit first goals of this city. and we are in the working group since the beginning and we would like to be part of the solution, and however, since the cost have more than tripled and they are likely to increase again, our participation is jeopardized. >> thank you.

>> i am with the bay area council and for over a year, the council has convened the shuttles and operators with the city transportation officials to work on this innovative transportation solution. and that is taking thousands of cars off of the road, and providing an important alternative to our stress public transit system the bay area council wants to take the mta and the mayor's office for your leadership on this program, and we applaud the work that carly and her staff have done. and as program was developed, through an extensive public process. and it has been one of compromise. and we support moving forward with the program, and including the fee, necessary, to cover the city's cost. and those fees by the way are in addition to the millions of dollars that employers spend each year to operate the

shuttles themselves this program is the right thing for employers, for san francisco, and for the 17,000 riders that rely on these shuttles every day to get to work. the benefits are immense, and the shuttles drastically reduce the traffic and air pollution by removing 327,000 passenger car trips and 9,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year. and the program. and they show that 70 percent. and the san francisco voters and support conducting this study and we are eager to start this pilot on august first and we urge you to approve the fee and move forward with the program.. and my name is linda, and and i am here to. and i view it as public, and

the shuttle buses, and the small shuttle buses, to transport and to the mission bay, and the other areas, and do primarily to the lack of muni options and the transportation and the key, and 6:30, and the mission bay shuttle all of the time. and and they are small serve the public, and they go to the mission bay. and if those people were not transported on these shuttle buses. and we would very much like to see the transportation, enhanced by adding additional hours primarily it is morning and evening hours on the weekdays only and the residents of mission bay would like to see that improved. but that adds cost. and the cost of the charge if

it is leved on the shuttles will add $60,000 to the cost which will pay for a year of four additional hours per day, service ta we will not get. and we paid for the service and it was mandated that we have that service, when mission bay was being developed and now to have an additional charge added on it, and on to those fees just feels like rubbing salt in the wounds and society and so would wo just ask you to reconsideration of the shuttles being included in this.

the management association is a non-profit organization and we operate a community shuttle serving all residents and workers and visitors all alike and our diverse rider ship includes, senior and students and workers and they all depend on the shuttle's reliable frequent service, especially for the crucial, first mile and last mile, to the transit hubs and the mission bay shuttle is part of the tdm and mandated by the redevelopment agreement, to date, we have been very successful in minimizing the trips in to and out of mission bay and our routes have been optimized to provide the frequent trips from the most under served areas of the mission bay and the residential commercial and campus areas, and then, we link those to the crucial regional hubs of cal train and the depot of fourth and king as well as the muni and bart station at powell street and until the tep is implemented the service is

improved and the central subway is active and it is crucial. we understand the need to better manage the shuttle services in the city. we want to continue to participate in the good faith and develop in the sustain able long term solutions for us and we also believe that at its core, a non-profit local shuttle service whose primary purpose is to improve the access to the traditional public transit we are different from a large fleet of corporate sponsored charter buses running between sf and silicon valley. >> we ask that you not approve the fee of the increase of the fees. thank you. >> thank you. >> cruise, sarah short, and tone lee. >> those are the last people who have turned in the speaker

card.

>> enforcement should include enforcement of standing, idling whether it is in a bus lane, a bike lane, a turn lane or a right-of-way. and staging the areas, should not be part of this pilot. and we also urge the mta to refer to the budget and the legislative analyst report, and that gave the specific strategies for successful pilot that have not been added to the pilot design, including a tax related to impacts and usage, and with my extra time i would just like to say that, part of the design of this program, has omitted looking at how this impacts public buses. and how it is, and how
