thorough study of what investments need to be made to do the maintenance so as you said 13 hours out of 34 is something we can exhaustive on i want to sort of mention that bart has been running working closely with ac transit to inclusive a much improved last night project we'll have a project that is 50 percent more than 8 hundred buses as well as an 822 bus from the mission that was previously unserved by last night troubling late service and this is something that hopefully, we'll be able to extend that pilot into a full program and spend the bus routes if the east bay

and back this is something i'll be advocating for and we'll appreciate all our support in the regional context so i think this report is terrific and provide a lot of important things we need to work on so thank you very much for having us speak and the good work. >> okay. i'll read the names we have kevin carol and bruce robert glen charles r5g9 bone and others.

>> thank you, supervisor wiener my name is bruce and as a lifelong transit rider i consider myself a native san franciscan even though i didn't get here until i was thirty years old you don't joe i won't tell you how long ago that was one thing i've learned awhile serving on the board of directors for the sfmta we didn't have a very good transit system at night i was riding muni morning noun

and night as a director and one of the things i've heard time and again, it's not safe to ride or work at night because i have no way to get home and this is something that i know that as a muni user i know i used to go to many, many giant games and candle stick park and many, many last night games i also have to worry about getting home and i think that is the same problem because many of our resident work in east bay and have to come home to the homes in the city

and they shouldn't have to worry about not being able to get home safety we must do this whatever it takes i'll help you do it thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> good afternoon, supervisors and thank you, supervisor wiener for starting this program and getting things moving i want to thank the task force my friend and our friends with the entertainment commission and the department of oewd as well as bart our hotels employ 24 thousand workers we're a 24

business we have folks that have to work twenty-four hours but have to catch a train that causes additional straes stress that keeps them from making more money and our early morning mrerz plenty of these if they can't find options that are safe or reliable they drive and we hear employees that carpool but their alternative to go to a car they don't feel save it is important to know that 57 percent of our workers in the hotel business live in san francisco so they rely on the transportation system to get to where they're going. i alsoless like the report you talks about the corridors one area of the city we have 24

hotels and the treatments and fisherman's wharf that adds another layer of issues when they godfather go to market street have routes for visitors that use last night i want to thank you for your leadership we'll continue to be port of the group and get to a place where we have additional winds sound like we're having it with the additional buses thank you very much >> thank you very much, sir. >> next speaker. >> and good afternoon robert director for transit i'd like to echo some of the comments ac transit fully supports the study and the recommendations that's been nearly a decade since the

network as the person mentioned and there's a couple of things one it is 10 years since we last looked at this and the land use has changed the region if you look at the downtown coordinator and oakland that type of land use in the night time didn't exist so one thing i want to nevertheless that was a transit issue the region looked at as a whole and m t c took a lead and the pilot service that the operation t is in mrs. jordan or participating are bart stooernl the service a good lifetime service it can assess the public that's convenient for the

service needs to be improved and frequency and where the service going is one piece of that as the presentation sat down better safety and waiting it is more important in the night time and it is good you address all those things i want to say we're excited to work with the partners and making the recommendations for the funding to implement this truly needs to be a partnering with the regional agencies to serve all the users and thank you, again. >> thank you very much. >> hello supervisors my name is glen done i'm a former entertainment commissioner and one point want to start by saying one of the major concerns i've heard as a neighborhood representative was the noise and participant that go on in people's cars especially in

supervisor jane kim's district n this is around the clubs and also about three years ago, i moved out to the o m i i've been out 5 times since then and as a former drag queen that's sad i'm no longer going out to night life the other thing that neighborhood supports is a lot of students that probably can't get to a from night life in the city so if you are going to continue this i would like you to look at something along the m lines being a night time option bus people that live where i live now have very if i options the only wow. one i had was the 14 night life and after

getting attacked on the bus i no longer 0 telephone call take that along with security the neighborhood can use night time transit because a lot of people go out into the night life there thank you. next speaker. >> thank you my name is ben i'm a owner of 7 bars in san francisco with one hundred and 75 employees last the founder of the bar alliance the 2 hundred and 6th member that week today, i'm speaking on behalf of california music association first, i want to thank supervisor wiener and jocelyn cane and others for leading this group and for inviting c mac to

be part of the transportation group we believe that san francisco is hesitate in the direction of a twenty-four hour 7 community and exceeded that more and more night time folks will not be living in san francisco for this reason we feel the future of san francisco is enter twined with the surrounding community of the bay area and san francisco needs to take the lead for the night time transportation we feel the long term bart needs to round 24/7 and can't wave a magic wound but the proposals by the working group and this committee are a fantastic first step toward the future of the last night

transportation and san francisco is one the premier cities in the united states and possibly the world we think it's time the transportation reflect that. >> thank you very much. >> hello tom one the co-owners of the decreeing bar i want to share one of the employees conferees actually rode up on her bicycle and was saying this is one of the reasons she's concerning leaving the bay area she has to cut her shift early not able to spend time with 0 her friends in san francisco no safe reliable way to get home safe at night i conserved have

you ever taken the muni home from work at virgil's and laughed she said she'd wait for 45 minutes at chevrolet and mission street and take another bus and wait on van ness and market street to catch the bus as a woman kaiser cash at three and four hours in the more than shes she laughed many of the bar owners in the room this is an issue of safety for our employees and workers we have a responsibility to make sure that the works from 9 to 5 are able to get home safely and a as others who work at different hours also from the prospective of our bottom line and this industry and it's growth if you look at the survey the majority of responsibility said on a nuke of

occasions choose to stay home and not patron news our busy and support our night life because no safe reliable way to get home as a matter for small business owners we need that thank you very much. >> good afternoon charles rath born on behalf of luxury our cabs thank you to the folks that g did a great job of research research the working groups final recommendations excludes 3 taxi related proposals for shared rides and pop up cabstand and ride subsidies the most important the shared ride program for taxicabs do n idea to work with the technology partners like fly whole to provide great value to

k34erz through reduced fairs at the same time the taxis will increase ridership a reduce the unpaid miles for drivers supervisors 3 is technically challenging and as challenging as a business proposition research has shown enormous shared profits for taxi rides 0 so we need to incentivize the risk-taking and investment in the transportation problems another taxi recommended solution to have pop up taxi stands i want to make it easier and cheaper for businesses to get approval for pop up staples and explore funding similar to the successful transit program

will that will help the last night workers in the east bay thank you very much and we look forward to participating in the last night group. >> good afternoon, supervisors i wanted to thank you for having this this is a great thing being one of the vice president's in the larger associations in the region i live out in the richmond it is farther areas for people to get to what i hear a lot of we can't get home and getting can't go out i hear people getting kicked out of cabs because they want to come home into an area so starting with the discussion is something that is great for the neighborhood i wanted to mention that so thank you. >> thank you very much is there any additional public comment on item 3 seeing none

madam chair may we close public comment. >> public comment is closed. so again colleagues thank you for hearing that and f thank you to the working groups this is a very significant step forward and sometimes those things can be daunting especially some of the long-term investment that have 24 bart service what i love about the report it clearly brokdz the short term immediate things and what are the long-term things and what can be done in a cost effective way the fact that bart and permit have begun moving forward and the fact that muni is going to be moving forward later will be 1257b9d this is tangible steps

forward to implement those recommendations and i think with the working group will continue to advise us i want to note two things it came up in public comment one is the few speakers talked about workers struggling to get home and the connection that has with some of the will affordability challenges we've had in san francisco the last night industry workers in that industry tend to be middle-class and working class not high paying jobs to raids families but not generally high paying jobs a lot of the workers can't afford to live in the entertainment centers in san francisco we have plenty of those workers living outside the

city in ante bay or in the southern or western part of the city it's not cheap but more affordable than the eastern and core parts of the city so it is not like folks are necessarily going from the mission and the castro they can afford to hop on a cab they don't have a usually transportation or either going to have to drive which is also challenging to go and park in the late average or evening or go to work in the castro or mission street you have to leave our car for the entire can i i'm not sure but we're putting our workers in bad positions it really is a matter for a lot of people also, we the issue will cabs is

very important because cabs provide a very strong supplement to public trams and minds that people will need to use the transportation i like the recommendation around moving toward shared cabs and cabstand to encourage people to use the cab system so colleagues thank you for the time today and i look forward to continuing this work to make those recommendations a reality. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you. i just want to thank supervisor wiener and the task force i know this has been an issue that supervisor wiener's office has brought up since he's come into office this is an important issue we hear again and again i've been

cornered at restaurant when owners fought who i am they really drive home the point how much last night transportation impact ability to do business and how many of their workers live far from the place of operation and often will in the east bay and how important last night transportation is it is great to see the categories of income with the services we provide and the numbers i had no idea on my given might more people ridding last night public transit than at a post giants game i think numbers like that is really really helpful recalled of the numbers i agree that even though if it's not a large number we to think about last night transportation it's a

question for mta what would it look like to have smaller shuttles running more frequently throughout the city i know this is an issue there are bus lines to treasure island not a 4r5r789 issue it is the only way to get on treasure island is it i can't bike or walk through if you're in the city and trying to get home on treasure island that bus is you're only option or you have to get a car if you can afford it we're on pressing the agency on more frequent transportation just for the 5 resident or the 2 residents waiting thirty minutes you know downtown there's not a lot of pedestrian foot traffic and safety is important to push it is great to see that ac transit is partnering on the issue we

know that bart has certain needs around repair i don't understand it it i want to push we're looking at last night transportation on friday and saturday nights maybe service starts later on saturday and sunday morning there's that time for maintenance regardless the bus can be another alternative bart didn't have to be the only one providing last night transit to the east bay but i'm glad to see all the work done thank you for my colleague and the trick or treat transportation authority and the commission for doing a lot of work around the study. >> thank you very much supervisor kim. >> and so i'll thank you supervisor kim and with that i'll make a motion to file this motion. >> the motion has been made and

supervisor wiener and seconded by supervisor kim that motion passes madam clerk, any other business before this committee? >> no madam chair. >> this business is closed >> the program will be continued by the remarks of our
