problem with the pilot if they could do that in san francisco it about be the show will be taken on the road, if you will. >> i understand. >> this year's nothing that the bill that gives away any of our assets. >> that's what i can see. >> thank you so is and a motion so i second that. >> before we - we will w we'll have a public comment and presentation. >> the only last thing when the governor announced his budget he highlighted the need for the protective you are to work with him for supplemental fund and bryan kelly who has been

conducting 2 years successfully a workshop on different aspects of funding in sacramento and the different aspects of managing transportation called an initial meeting called the california structure proprietor workshop and the purpose was to be underway with the governors first step of outreach through the secretary so there's not a lot of development but a scene setting meeting we're starting to see a framework that the governor might want to work in its early to share that pubically we'll be involved with the process and keep you appraised so if you take a step back you'll see the leadership in the assembly that is addressing transportation and looking at the road and administration is stepping up

and the senate won't are far behind. >> thank you that concludes my presentation. >> still waiting for the federal government to do it's part it's a tough time i expect to be able to by the people we keep on vicinity new enemies all the time. >> a question. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you. i having had one more question on ab 24 and i was wondering if there's information beyond the summary in the legislative round up for the requirement for the liability insurance for the f t and we're waiting for them to address ailed language

that has not come out yet. >> i'm very interested as the legislation develops it is certainly an issue with one of our fte drivers killed a pedestrian and it was an insurance fight i'm interested in seeing how the bill will be developed at the state level. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> tilly chang really it is quite exciting to see so much action we'll we're going to see the puddle you've selected and in addition driving vehicles regulations from the dmv shortly and the performance of the ceqa type of performance there's a lot of going on at the state level i appreciate mark keeping track we had a visit from our

federal agency mr. fox he visit good looking and mother-in-law view and attended along with a number of people from the san francisco's and your director of transportation bryan kelly was talking about the state of our system transportation unfortunately, the news was grim we're from a state of criticized with our international structure this is as supervisor avalos pointed out we've invested in our from to begin a national dialog will the state transportation we have a highway trust fund heading into the red and funded inadequately by the federal gas tax it funded not only highways but surface transportation across the modes and bicycling as well as and the pedestrian involvements

investment so we rang the bell and called on everyone to paying attention e pay attention and particle with the new dialog in washington and congress to recognize this is a bipartisanship issue with the labor groups calling on congress to move for the funding for transportation by 20 thirty we're expecting to see 40 percent of the population in upper in his places this is wherewith he have sustainable global and social equitable development we want to make sure that particularly where we have older transit systems like in san francisco with our muni is over one hundred years old we're or partnering and supporting what ever way we can meanwhile

we're not witting we're seeing experimentation secretary fox talked about that over 2 dozen states are raised their own state gas tax we have not done that we're looking at this thing meanwhile as mark mentioned looking at a stating fee program the program that is based on what oregon and washington have done and we have cap & trade so we're seeing carbon based fuel that is generating revenue for transportation it isn't enough the lack of federal violation was a little bit disappointing we've seen commitment on the issue but not time and didn't what can the federal government do about safety and strengthen

our transit system nate he said we can partner and holy for much stronger federal role and leadership without the ability to fund it he couldn't say much he very much wanted to move 2, 3, 4 a positive direction about the issue of funding and we think that would be important to continue work at the local level we cannot do it alone secretary fox mentioned the strong partnership around the land use the better land use we plan the more ability to travel by bicycle and transit we recognized this is a partnership are the states and the locating locality we expect the federal government to come through with a major consensus on the next bill and barbara boxer has

announced to leave the senate we hope with her colleagues before she leafs deliver a of municipal court year bill with that i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. thank you. >> thank you, colleagues any questions or comments okay. on to public comment on this item is there any public comment on this item on the legislative agenda seeing none, public comment is closed. and we have a motion on the floor. >> on the motion to amend the masking. >> supervisor avalos supervisor campos supervisor cohen supervisor kim supervisor mar masking is amended. >> okay. the motion is amend the masking 83 is amended and the underlying can we take that without objection? okay. so we'll >> i also wanted to amend the

eric mar so. >> thank you leo. >> next item. >> state road charge pilot 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 general public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. prior to our adjournment i want to thank sfgovtv broadcast jessie larson and nona melkonian thank you for your services our next item. >> item 8 adjournment. >> colleagues, we're adjourned thank you

show this writing community that they are welcome. at first, people were like, you want me to read at the library, really? things like that. >> as a documentary, there are interviews -- [inaudible] >> radar readings are focused on clear culture. strayed all others might write about gay authors. gay authors might write about universal experiences. the host creates a welcoming environment for everybody. there is no cultural barrier to entry. >> the demographic of people who come will match the demographic of the reader. it is very simple. if we want more people of color, you book more people of color. you want more women, your book more women. kind of like that.

it gets mixed up a little bit. in general, we kind of have a core group of people who come every month. their ages and very. we definitely have some folks who are straight. >> the loyal audience has allowed michelle to take more chances with the monthly lineup. established authors bring in an older audience. younker authors bring in their friends from the community who might be bringing in an older author. >> raider has provided a stage for more than 400 writers. it ranges from fiction to academics stories to academic stories this service the underground of queer fell, history, or culture.
