>> good morning and welcome to had monthly meeting of the san francisco county transportation authority. i'll scott wiener the chairman the authority and want to thank sf gov t jennifer and chals crim nack for todays herem . >> avalos present. commissioner breed, abstant. commissioner

christensen, present. commissioner farrell, presentism commissioner mar, abstant. commissioner yang, present. commissioner yee, present. we have quarm >> thank you very much. can you please call item 2 >> item 2, chairs report. this is a nrfgz item. >> colleague yz hope everyone had a great recess and break. since we last convened in last july of this year a lot has happened around transportation in our satey and region. at the state level as you may have followed in the press we were very hopeful the governor and legislature through the legislative session on transportation would actually produce sig cnts revenue for transpor maintenance and infrastructure

impruchbments. assembly members chew and mullen strongly advocateed for transportation to be incrude cloouded and i pressed for transportation and safer streets alt a hearing held in oakland. unfortunately the ledge #14r5i67er waechbt able to secure the 2/3 votes need today move forward a transportation focused revenue package. subsquentsly the special session was extended and we remain hopeful that some sort of proposeal can which out of the legislature with our serious transportation funding challengesment mean while, we have many positive mile stones to celebrate in san francisco. i was pleased to tour the central subway projects which is making progress on station construction and aquipping the tunnel

construction. commissioners ist crian kim and i celebrated the launch of historic trolley service with mayor lee, director chang and many community members including the market street rail way. the transportation authority provided 19 million dollars between the pop b and k programs mptd other great events in augincluded the initiation of sfmt safer market [inaudible] and the opening of barts civic center bike station all received support from sales tax fungds. i want to thank the sfmta for delivering long overdue improvements in my district along upper market street to make that very challenged corridor safer for everyone and have nor improvements to come on upper markets. i also want to cu-mind bart non smooth transfwai closure over

2 weekend allowing the agency lay 5 miles of track to insure safe operations along the corridor. colleagues this is just the beginning of the huge amount of maintenance and capital work barts needs to do over the next decade. after 40 years of providing reliable service bart is basically operating with that 40 year old original system and it is coming apart at the seems. bart needs massive investment and the agency needs our support in san francisco to insure this system which is part the life blood our regions economy and quality of life continue to meet the needs of a growing population. san francisco is growing by 10 thousand people a year. the region is project today grow by over 2 million people between now and 20 fourtd and bart has to operating at a glaiter level of reliability.

that is quhie i hope next year we insuch join qu alameda and contra costa to pass a very significant bart capital bonds to rehabilitate to improve station squz beginning the plang process for a second transbay tube not just for bart, but for high speed rail and to connect cal train with the capital corridor. we need to make sure that bond is large number and meets barts capital needs, we should not skimp on the bart bond. given the tremendous demand we see on all our transit systems and in light of the regions grow we need to plan forerally and subway tanst in all of san francisco. as result earlier this month i introduced legislation calling for san francisco to prepare a subway master plan and i know the transportation authority will be a

participant in that process. we shouldn't repeat past mistakes where we completed the market street and bart and waited several decades before plang more subway lines mpt we need to insthur successful deliver of our current endeavors including the transbay terminal , cal trainect fiication and cal train and high speed rail. we had a reliminary report from the transportation commission which i requested along with colleagues on the mtc in terms of cost review the transbay transit center project. i look flward to working with our director to bring the studies findings and recommendation tooz the full authority later this fall. i also want to note that we found out through the grapevine that 2 member s of

the assembly [inaudible] introduced assembly bill 24 which dissolves the transportation commission and relace with a directly elected body. i think a lot of us think that is not a good direction for regional transportation planning in the bay uria area so we look forered to having a dialogue with the author squz sure that bill quh xh to the transpor thaigz authority through our norchlal legislative process and think we need to make sure as we move forward with the transpor thaigz needs in our region we have real solutions without taking major steps backwards which this would end up being. colleaguesthality conclude my cort rort and we'll move to public comment on item 2. any public comment on item 2? seeing none public comment is closed. this was a nrgz item. >> item 3 exponenttival

director report. this is a information item. director chang. >> good morning. tilly chang executive director. niges oo see. we remained bus a tracking a number of state and local legislative efforts. chair mentioned the special session it was disappointing they were not able to reach consensus but haven't given up hope. wree tracking the federal legislation taz moves through congress and hope that will result in a long bill. one bright spot at the state level is ab 1 94 sponsored by assembly member fraisier is moved forward for the governors signature. this sh st. express lane authority bill that reauthorized these lanes throughout the state that we have been coordinate would the self help county to

support. this is important because we are looking at our freeway lanes here in and do believe the high occupancy vehicle strategy combine would the express lane can be effective our fr our county. assembly member chews 1287 pass thd assembly and present today the governor for signature. this is reauthorization the transit only lane enforcement. mta has for the muni system so we have forward facing cameras and enforce the double parking violating so hope that will make it through the governors signature. the 2015 active transportation program was not successful not only for san francisco but the entire bay area region. this was a heavily over subscribed benefit to support

bike improvements. there was [inaudible] but only 8 sish projectess received 180 million of funding. there is a huge demand for these type of improvements. the bay area only received about 11 percent the funding versus the 20 percent share the population so we are concerned about that. not entirely spizeing, surpriseing we knew there was risk where w the disadvantage communities that the bay area wasn't well positioned for the program. that said, we will continue to learn how we can improve our applications awlaung the partners i hope the regional round of active transportation program will yield better results. california high speed rail authority kicked off-the environmental planning wurg. we are very excited to see this mile stone. this is a segment of high speed

rail that will enable the service from san francisco for transbay terminal to is san jose and connecting to the central valley. the high speed authority met with a number of agency squz we coordinate behind the scenes to insure good outreach and technical input. there was a open house ateneded on september 8 so the high speed rail can atened the community meetings. we thank them for compling to san francisco and taking the input from our community. the transbait transit center will be the northern terminus of high speed rail and we coordinate with mtc cost review which is under way. as yoi recall the transportation authority asked for [inaudible] work with us on the mtc cost review and we have reviewed ways to help close the funding gap. several strategies

emerged. there was a reliminary report and look forward to seeing the full recommendations as well aathize phase 2 cost review within a 90 day deadline that was set. what has emerged is the need for better risk management, cost estimation and perhaps also cost containment working group orchange mechanism so we can review the change orders as they which dlou. we are confident we will get to a agreement. on the local front we are happy the geary corridor bus rapid transst will release our environmental document next month thmpt release date is scheduled for october 2, so we are very very excited for this mile stone. this project has been under development for many year jz this will begin the 45 day public comment review period. the mile stone will allow us to get 1

step close toor completing the project which already began design. mta began design the phase 1 portion thf project so we can begin providing reliability and pedestrian safety improvements in the corridor as we complete the environmental process. the goal would be to complete this round of review by the end of the year and so that we would brin it forward to #3r50u6b8 approval in the summer of 2016. there was be a public comabout meeting october 5 at saint mar y's.
