3:37 am
purpose of the bicycle education and with the costs of the individual classes so the first one was overall we're trying to accomplish with the black history month has to do with first start the bicycle strategy we've laid out a number of manufacturer to get us one today to a 20 percent of ridership that's within the ridership we've reported to the board 4 percent of the various improvements including investments in safety education to help us to slowly move up the policy goal one goal we have bicycle safety education and 60 r 50 percent of san francisco schools we have not reached that but prop k will help us fund those and is consistent with the
3:38 am
expenditures second the overall vision zero and one thing in all in favor, signify by i with had 2 hundred and 60 bicyclist collisions we saw a decline in 2012 i believe down to 5 hundred and 79 and the past year we're another 621 as we were seeing cycling increasing you'll noted in the newspapers a number of collisions growing and slowly increasing so the overall goal to teach people how to bicycle safely and create an environment for the people cycling in san francisco the good news we've seen a adrenalin in actually collision a a stabilization as we've seen bicyclists increase
3:39 am
that's the overall policy with regard to the specific costs there's a suit of different types of classes within the allocation that make ups the contract some of the classes specifically the ones noted for expensive ones has to do with the programs in middle school we'll do two weeks of bicycle safety as part of pe requires one hundred hours and the bike coalition provides the materials and the helmets so that's why the costs per parent is extremely high other types of the classes learn to ride that are actually on the road and street and requires a certified instructor to be part of the placing class their smaller classes we're trying to teach you how to follow the rules of
3:40 am
the road those are are higher those are intensify classes we want to increase the number of people cycling and the use you know of riding bikes to school and taking advantage of that we'll appreciate our support and the allocation in moving with the extension we have sustainable streets classes if you want to get to the nitty-gritty of the classes and have colleagues here. >> commissioners, any questions. >> thanks for the information of the classes that i see here probably the only one you have no control offer in terms of the bikes education i assume that is to did middle schools the other
3:41 am
classes are pretty random i'm curious in terms of who is taking those classes do we have information on them in terms of whether there's ethnic breakdown or district breakdown like are we seeing equal number of people in the district if not what can he see the criteria 50 percent of them taking the classes if each district we need to look at the allocation resources. >> yeah. so i'm going to ask matt to address that question and coalitions that want to help if we can't specifically answer that question that's reasonable as part of the allocation to report on the data as a part of the allocation so once this is pled and we do our close out
3:42 am
report we'll report the number of participants in the district. >> good morning, commissioners i'm matt with the sfmta so we - i don't have specification at this time of the participants per districts there's a map in our packet of where the classes took place do you have this map possibly? i can put it up here so this is a map showing where
3:43 am
the classes are located we do offer with our contractor the bike coalition promotional materials in chinese and spanish and in terms of the middle school program the ride bike program that who we work with that is by invite and this school has to be interested in the program we pursue those locations in the school bike ed >> so looking at the map it is i could assume for instance 7 people are not pravrnt in each classes. >> pardon me. >> looking at the map that seems like i can say a district 7 is underserved. >> yeah. we're trying to get both existing and new cyclists
3:44 am
to the classes 38 they vary on the types of class for classes for cyclists and classes for developing new cyclists this map we could add for classes in that outside the city core but i mean it is just like any map; right? the dense urban environment has more cyclists so we see the vast majority of our class lie but we can be sure to focus outside that area to get a more equal area. >> i'm suggesting if this is the evidence here that maybe going forward we look at how we mta could set the goals
3:45 am
if you remain to the bike coalition to a certain percentage of the participants should be for certainly classes for the different districts thats that would be helpful. >> we have a question if supervisor christensen. >> i guess maybe more of a comment we're belashing this we all support the goals the brought to my attention education is good the bicyclist coalition this is one of the flags a lot of money that is being disseminated in deif you find was i was given a run down felt number of people in the
3:46 am
classes served it seems to me the number of people we're reaching in the program is small it is fledging so to extend the program to the future areas not being reached also a strategy of how we effectively reach for o more people in order for the program to have an impact it's great to have thirty or 40 students here or there but it may not be hand drawn we may have to do pamphlets so they're not so instructor intensify how can we increase the number of people reached and how can we target that outreach to the communities that most need it and how to have an equitable
3:47 am
sdrpgs by location of ridership or schools going forward those are questions that are likely to come up. >> so - >> i think those are actually excellent questions those is the extension of our current contract i think we can take that back and integrated that those are good suggestions. >> thank you supervisor farrell. >> i'm going to echo what supervisor yee said it has two spots maybe the least represented and ton of bicyclists i i know the ymca and others bans the map we have bicycle stops all over the place and people buena vista to the presidio i'd like to request
3:48 am
that you guys come back in an rfp and talk about how this is be structured sometimes, it benefits the districts and this is challenging to say that is a great thing when i look at two locations and ton of kids in the district i'd like to see this come back next month. >> thanks supervisor breed. >> thank you so i royals this is just an extension for a couple of months until you award a new contract but i still have a problems are the cost we're talking about over $5,000 per classes based on my calculations and bans the number of people $200 per person and so i'm concerned about the expense i know there are pamphlets and bikes i mean a number of things
3:49 am
but evolving their startup costs and continued costs that should decrease in terms of the number so i agree with supervisor christensen on the need to do a better job to get more participation in the classes ultimately the point of those classes to provide safety to the public and so that people are biking save and learning about the rules of the road so we can keep them as well as others save on the road i want them to be effective but cost effective this is a pretty steven program to implement so at this time i'll definitely move to support this item but just keep in mind moving forward i support my colleagues on geographic locations as well as looking at the cost effective ways to hold
3:50 am
those classes so we're reaching nor o more people for less amount of money thank you. >> thank you and i will add i absolutely agree with the comments by my fellow commissioners so if you can confirm at this time we're not able to write any new requirements moving forward to the next 9 months. >> yeah. confirmed but i will say that as i said in the previous hearing on this particular items government should be interactive the last time we got the feedback we should do multiple languages and focus on the areas where people are cycling this what about more cost effective pea look at the
3:51 am
geographic distribution and focus on with vision zero and the city focused on safety and the rules of the road that's excellent feedback and definitely things we integrate. >> we'll i'll be definitely looking at for that and i think for me it wasn't mentioned as much of in terms of the matrix we know that talking with the coalition i think they share the same goals how do we track the effectiveness of the outreach efforts for example you have people attending the classes and months follow-up with them and see have you been riding or k3450u9 better data just to show you know really was the okay of the classes or the amount of
3:52 am
attendees. >> occasionallyly we'll work with the authority staff we've done that where we implement programs and we'll absolutely integrate into it. >> i've heard that potentially in terms of the bicycling efforts instead of the bicycle coalition but under the transportation. >> that's fantastic that's into the box of the sfmta so transportation distanced management a a subdivision of the sustainable street distribution e decision to the team within the sustainable streets manages the program. >> so nothing is changing go thank you for your clarification i'll agree with how colleagues we'll be looking for the new specification in the rfp and i but the prop k we've been moving
3:53 am
forward with the estimation. >> that's important feedback. >> landlord/tenant any other comments from the commissioners. >> supervisor yee. >> not on the same item but on the traffic comment piece so i don't know if we are finished with the bicycle if you're finished i'll ask the question. >> so i looked at the projects that are being completed and so on and so forth and thank you there's it's pretty spread e sprayed out district 7 has some but i looked at the list of all the things that are pending supposedly and that trargd for me what it doesn't tell me where is it in the priority and how long have people been waiting is this ongoing for 10 years it
3:54 am
doesn't say anything my question is there a way to indicate the priority and maybe dates of what those things might happen because i could look at the list and one the constituents will contact me and say are we ever going to do look at this issue and oh not study is pending but someone two supervisors ago said it was pending 20 years ago and on. >> we can provide this particular allocation the sustainable streets and the mta have worked to transformed the program and this has to do with the process where we did the traffic calming in particular
3:55 am
areas the issue you're getting at supervisor yee that we will develop a plan and not know how to fund all the traffic calming or the resources that everything was asking for it will lag for five or six years and the mta was in the process of implementing the process and small business didn't want it so our commitment to use our revenue bond funds to go through a backlog 3 is an allocation for all the traffic cadging improvements in the ear plans and systemically work to get them done i don't want to say completely but we program fund outreach the next 3 fiscal years and total of $6 million to get completed most of the things that were prioritized we're
3:56 am
hoping to get most of those done in the next 3 fiscal years. >> we share the priority. >> we have the level 1, 2, 3 improvements o improvements we'll definitely provide that again and have the data of the years of the traffic data. >> i would appreciate that. >> we'll work with the authorities. >> thank you. >> thank you very much any other questions from commissioners? all right. i guess seeing none, we'll go to public comment on item 5 i have two speaker cards (calling names) >> anyone else please line up. >> i'm ooifshg with the brought to my attention coalition i wanted to touch a little bit about the questions you have and appreciate all the comments and great suggests and ideas just to touch this map we provided was only the 2014 location a 3 year contract i can update this and it didn't indicate when there's
3:57 am
more than one class so that means there are 6 classes they're might be 6 in supervisor yee's district. >> i think the locations show a lot of area being served people tend to consultant along routes when they're on their way home we're going classes along the way i assure you that people say i live in the marina how do i get to work we're able to capture a lot of people i'll say that i can assure you people are from all over the city we want to get the information to the people and in addition a large portion of the classes are mostly women we're 2/3rd's of the classes are women and largely asian-american women
3:58 am
to do a variety of other things we're capturing a lot of community so i wanted to touch we reach around 48 hundred people a year in the past year we've caught over one thousand adults and youth and we reach over one thousand people in one adults and youths there these are critical programs for vision zero and the education is part of the vision zero and continuing to support this i appreciate you kind of all saying you agree to move forward and we're interested in what the future rfp will look like and thank you for the feedback we have matt that works with the youth to talk about that i have some of the outreach in the languages. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> morning i'm matthew dove
3:59 am
representing the ymca of san francisco i run the ymca for the presidio ymca and i have so much to say in so little time i want to let you know about cost friend of mineness the youth bicycle programs through the contract there middle schools and high schools are exposing in terms of popularity and reach this year we're going to reach a minimum of 9 hundred students across the city but this is just the students we are going to be in front of my instructors from the judge we work with several instructors and many of those are working out of schools they have fleets and bicycles to instruct there are many schools that are teaching their students working
4:00 am
with us not currently working directly with us right now 7 schools that have their own fleet of bikes and a purchase at ucla for other bikes the schools we go to we work in barney or partnering with the schools we have high frequently introduced lunches and instructors with facilities that host a facility program in the future we had a pe pb once in the summer and spring the instructors that are interested in starting the program can come and join us and learn more i think we circulated about 50 to $60 the
