update that on a informational item. >> good morning here to talk about the charges you've read in the news this modern and some earlier in the week california is preempting for a new pilot program we want to talk about the proposal and what it monies for california so california is exploring a charge that comes out of key group that mark mentioned the elements to move forward the pilot and sb 77 we established a technical advise committee that met for the first time last month to implement a pilot program at the beginning of 2015 this is something else that assembly speaker atkins spoke in support of last week as well when is the rod charge an update you where you charge the drivers per mile of gas consumed

he think it can be tracked from anywhere of a flat fee to a gps tracking system that lives in our very long and under the system one of the key points it is fuel-efficientcy vehicles will use the road so everyone paid transportation tax is based on the user fee it is meant to be a approximate i didn't when it was implemented there was basically a flat fuel economy across all vehicles some vehicles get 15 miles per gallon so the gas tax is easy to collect a part of the

federal, state it depreciates worse from there without either a new funding or severe cuts in expenditures we're in trouble and so a little bit more about the gas tax the federal gas tax was last raised in 2003 and the inflation adjusted dollars it had more valuable to the there's in the last exactly to californians spend $108,000 per year due to the deteriorating roads so why not raise the gas tax well, the state and federal gas tax lose it's value and rising costs of construction so who was $0.04 per gallon it was 11 point 2 cents but with the

gas taken into consideration tax people don't pay their fair share they pay overall lower fees for gas but not transcribing that is a big political lift it takes quite an effort why is the road usage the answer it moves treating the roads like water and public good it is more equitable because the users pay their fair share and lower efficient vehicles pay more than the less efficient vehicles so from american people equality technology we have the gps and other technology that can assist us in collecting it and it won't be degraded as fuel-efficientcy continues to grow that is pretty intense that

the electrical vehicles in 2015 there's a small part of technical cars but 20 thirty most will be electrical and not contributing to the funding source so factors to consider that the pilot program will go into how much it costs to implement and administrator you think about the tracking vehicles in the united states it starts to add up how easy is it to use you need to plug in and not remember to turn on and tech reliable that's an expensive component and how much the fee structure and who do we charge has to be easy to endorse and engage the private sector in the administration and technical and there's policy concerns that comes to mind when our talking

about the charges and equate so oregon is leading the way with the usage charges in 2012 they had a small pilot about 88 policymakers experienced it offhand and kaetsd and informed the public this is the fee that was in place of the gas tax so the users got a refund and a number of goals to chief the easy of use and on system that is privately administered prrnt were given 3 reasons one a flat monthly fee and one that recorded the meanwhile track and i guess the cell phone you use grps to track in state and outside of state

so they did find their charge raised 48 percent more this led to the next pilot 05 thousand users that is going into focus july 1st, 2015, the plan to charge 1 point 5 cent per mile and that's between the federal and state government and a so things to consider fuel implements and what technology will it replace the embarrass tax how do we address the privacy concerns and more likely to kept it and how do you spend the revenue that pilot will hopefully address if not all of those questions. >> great, thank you supervisor mar you just explained the

technology you said if a gps system a a driver has to elaborately allow their systems to be tracked to know how many miles your gone. >> there's a range that has processed and consciousness in oregon you asking can self-report and a or pay. >> fee and less tracking engages combajz about it reaches up to a gps whether you're on a public or private road and only charge you for the public or private road but if you have the gps and have that level of engagement with excuse me. with the device you'll get benefits and not have to pay as often. >> supervisor kim. >> actually go back to our gravel on page 9 why are

interest two bars for every 5 years. >> there's two bars one the model year and the second bar is the entire fleet. >> the fee. >> the fleet of vehicles so ever so the model year is what the cars get reduced and the rest is the composition of all the fleets so ever car. >> so the first bar is the cars that are actually mustard and the second the cars purchased. >> the first one is the cars purchased in the years shown and the seconds bar is all the cars in the entire state so everything that was purchased in 1990s through the current date and in terms of what we anticipate. >> correct. >> it's great to see that

electrical cards are predicted to make up a majority of cars in the future it's great to see i guess one question he have it makes sense the rational how can we insure that it didn't stop buyers of cars that are looking at hybrids because it decreases the fees they pay. >> that's an important question the rational is the gas tax is such a small portions of what you pay so electrical cars you're not paying but maybe now saving $2 a gallon you're still saving money per glag. >> so the greatest incentive

being the reduction. >> thank you. >> uh-huh. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you chairman and thank you for the presentation a quick question and probably a dumb question but not all gas equals are the same is there a way to capture the use of road captures a large truck vs. an impact car. >> the trucks are charged under a different system right now only pedestrian cars but an application to larger vehicles into effect in new england and germ they have usage charges hair been piloted for something else. >> is there i'm wondering if there's any other way in which other jurisdictions sort of pay

for the roads road uncle tax which i understand you know the benefit of it there is a regressive element i mean are there other things that are done in the country and the world we can look at. >> this is probably the most forward thinking one i've seen i mean you see the traditional sales taxed and gasoline taxed that is the closet and the lower efficiency vehicles that cost less over paying in gladdening gasoline tax will be less. >> supervisor mar. >> another question about the slide that commenting raised the question about so it looks like electrical vehicles are going to it looks like a tone fold

increase in 10 years and then still a good portion of hybrid vehicles as well is there data you can give us on the increase in use of electrical cars that's helpful to understand how a new policy might impact the city and counties cities like ours we have a bigger percent of hybrids and electrical cars ask there data on our city or statewide. >> i haven't gotten it but we'll look at that and get back to you. >> ask there any reason we couldn't create our oppose vehicle miles program here in san francisco. >> i think it requires state authorization. >> okay eaten for congestion

active management we don't need it for that. >> we can look at as well. >> great colleagues any other questions thank you for the presentation very interesting. >> we're looking to see what happens in oregon and how that goes as and a at the go to the next portion of the project is there any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. item 5 is an informational item we'll go on to our next item. >> item 6 introduction of new items this is an informational item. >> colleagues any new items or issues go to public comment is there any public comment on item 6 introduction to new items seeing none, public comment is closed. and go on to our next item. >> item 7 public comment. >> our next item is on for

the birth of a publicly own transit system. san francisco municipal railway. muni as it would become to be known. happy birthday muni, here is to the next 100 years. the birth of muni had been a long-time coming. over the years the city was disjointed privately owned companies. horses and steam and electric-powered vehicles. creating a hodgepodge of transit options. none of them particularly satisfying to city residents. the city transit system like the city itself would have changes during the san francisco earthquake. the transition that will pursue from this aftermath would change

san francisco's transportation system once again. facilitated by city boss, abe ruth ushering in the electric city car. the writing was on the wall. the clammer had begun for the experiment including public transit people. owned by the people and for the people. the idea of a consolidated city-owned transit system had begun traction. and in 1909, voters went to the polls and created a bond measure to create the people's railway. would become a reality three years later. on december 28 1912 mayor

sonny rolph introduced the new geary electric streetcar line and the new san francisco railway. that he said would be the nucleus that would host the city. and san francisco gave further incentive to expand the city's network. a project by way of tunnel leading into chinatown by way of north beach. in december the first streetcar was driven into the tunnel. just two years after its berth, muni had added two lines. and k, l and m lines that span out from westportal. in 1928 the j line opened

heading west to the beach. in 1944 san francisco voters finally approved muni take-over of the market street railway. by then motor bus and trolley bus improvement had given them the ability to conquer san francisco's hills. after the war most of the street-car lines would be replaced with motor or trolley bus service. in 1947, the mayor recommended replacing two lines with motor coaches. and it appeared that san francisco's iconic cable cars had seen their final days. entered mrs. cluskin, the leader to save the cable cars. arguing that the cable cars were a symbol of the city and she entered a charter placed on the november ballot. it passed overwhelmly.

the california street cable railway was purchased by the city in 1952. there were cut backs on the cable car system and in 1957 only three lines would remain. the three lines that exist today. in 1964 the cable car's future as part of california's transit system was sealed when it was proclaimed a national historic landmark. in february 1980, muni metro were officially inaugurated. in that same year muni received its first fleet of buses

equipped with wheelchair lifts. in 1982 when the cable car had a shut-down, they added an alternative attraction to the cars. the festival was a huge hit and would continue for the next four summers in a permanent f-line that would extend all the way to fisherman's wharf, by 2000 the f-line was in place. and in 2007 muni extended the third line to the southeast corner and returning to third street. for the first time in 60 years. in the course of last 100 years, muni's diverse workforce forged by men and women of innovation have reflected the many cultures that flock to the city.

muni's ground-breaking antidiscrimination has guaranteed equal opportunity for all. the city's policy mandates the course for the future as they work diligently to increase options and increase multialternatives, and deduce -- reduce the carbon footprint. it continues to improve the systems. during this sen -- centennial year we reflect on the transit system. driven not
