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

at the california public utilities commission. >> we have barbara hale and you will be sharing on the timeline? >> yes. you and director fried came to the public utilities commission on tuesday and talked about how the timeline can be sped indicted and -- expedited and i'm wondering if there are any changes that you are proposing based on our ideas and input >> barbara hale, manager for clean powersf. we built the schedule with the comments we received at our january 30th, lafco joint puc meeting in mind. we think this is a realistic schedule and our general

manager feels we should keep this schedule . some of the discussions with chair avalos and if those presentations and opportunities present themselves we'll definitely pursue them and where you can help make those opportunities present themselves, we would definitely welcome that help. at this point in time we aren't proposing to make additional changes to, we didn't come in the door here with changes to the timeline relative to what we presented to our own commission and you will see that what this timeline does is sort of the basic bottom line of this timeline is, we will be serving san francisco customers through a cleanpowersf program in january of 2016 under this schedule. we will be setting not to exceed rates early in the schedule. we will set the actual rates in october after

we have procured resources to serve this new customer group. in order to begin to serve customers in january of 2016, in order to serve customers in january 2016, we will go through the statutorily required output process recalls that that involves two notifications of customers in advance of service and two notifications to customers after they have begun service. the complete opt out process, the launch and enrollment program aspect phase doesn't end until march, but customers are served prior to that timeline. some of the feedback we got on tuesday that we were able to act on we heard an interest in making sure the cleanpowersf website is up and running and that all the links are

active. we've been taking care of that. including the link that allows residents to sign up and identify themselves as people who want to be part of the program from day one. that's been react elevated and some of that soft communication with our possible customers has begun again. i'm happy to report on that. i think you've had an opportunity working with your executive officer to review the timeline and i'm happy to take any questions you may have about it. >>supervisor john avalos: great. thank you. jason fried? >> yes. over all i'm very pleased with the timeline they have presented an they put together a realistic timeline on what needs to be done. there is one area i'm in disagreement
