>> supervisor yee: thank you. >> supervisor yee: i noticed that in the presentation the list of things or some other programs that would be supportive and one of the pieces, and i don't want to take away from, i don't want to get confused with the adult crossing guards. i am just curious has there been thoughts around -- there is i think about 16 schools presently in elementary schools that have student crossing guards and for a few of the places i observed it's been effective. some more than others, but has there been any thought that would be part of the comprehensive approach?
11:01 am
i think that is part of the environmental safety program about crossing guards and something that i didn't mention for those schools that don't qualify for paid sfmta we are going to roll out some trainings are deployed to each school. it's part of the conversation around crossing guards at large and the safer drop off area. >> supervisor yee: i was glad to see that in your slide included ed's neighborhood and i'm just curious like what role is this program playing to help ed's neighborhood because up to now,
11:02 am
the program. [indiscernible] so who are you getting to the table to discuss thatce? >> sure, so that program as you know for the rest of the commission is being overseen by the rest of the school district, who is ha at the table -- the by area children resources who will be providing the educational work next year is actually coming to our next partnership meeting to meet with the partners to ensure that the curriculums they are offering is consistent with the rest, so working one message and we see this as a key part of safe routes to school offerings for the k-2 grades, that is goo.
11:03 am
>> that is good i am glad that you are aware that the bay area is going to be -- for this. >> thank you. >> supervisor fewer: what works well at my school is implemented a drop off zone and i have seen it in action at elementary schools where there are students ambassadors, kind of students who are actually helping younger kids get out of the car and escorting them into the yard so parents don't feel a need to stop their car and double park and triple park and walk their child in, but works smoothly with a person monitoring the persons come in and out and the
11:04 am
schools have the parents trained to do this and it has made a great impact around congestion time, you know the ten minutes before the bell rings t are going into the white zone and droppingoff the child and not triple parking as they used to so i want to give a shout-out for supervisor ye for putting some funding in that and now my schools are using that and it's been a big help. >> supervisor peskin: the department of public's health role in the revamp program is unchanged from its previous role with regard to evaluation and i understand that they have uc berkeley doing a study on ride share. what else are they doing the
11:05 am
ensure the maximum role of evaluation given the funding they are receiving as part of safe routes to school? >> with the budget that the obeg funded a good amount of staff resources is coming from the department of public health. as we have worked with them and discussed with them i would add the new wans to your comment they are now supporting the mta. >> you are the lead agency. >> we are and we will be developing in conjunction but we are responsible for it. ultimately ed resistance ki risn

11:35 am
different technologies on treasure island that the metropolitan transportation commission, which i also sit on, effort to update the clipper transit fare payment system. clipper has made great strides in integrating bay area operator transit fares to a single fare card but the system is decades old and in need of renewal and enhancement. clipper 2.0 is a critical opportunity to achieve excellent customer service experience, bring technology to transportation payment and improve administrative effiency for operators and agencies including timma. as we move forward with the next generation of clipper, we need to ensure that clipper 2.0 will be nimble and advance forward. new york city, who is going through a similar process, has chosen to do away with paper tickets altogether and introducing a mobile option for phones as well. los angeles is piloting a platform that allows passengers to pay transit and toll with a single account. we want a system that is able to
11:36 am
integrate with other transportation services. i want to urge us to help ensure clipper incorporates the innovative ideas and ensures seamless transitions between multiple modes of transportation. i look forward to working with my colleagues here at mtc to look at clipper 2.0 and making transit more convenience and affordable for current and future residents alike. i want to -- i apologize, mr. clerk. could you call items 2 and 3. >> clerk: item 2, chair's report, information item. item 3, executive director report, information item. >> supervisor kim: i would like to bring up our deputy director to present. >> good morning, eric cordoba, area director capital project. happy to deliver the executive director's report. let's start with the good news, regional measure 3 has been approved.
11:37 am
that's good news for timma, especially when it comes to a potential $300 million ready and available for ferry, transportation, capital projects across the region, including treasure island. we expect funding will be available in early 2019 and we look forward to working with mtc and the water emergency transportation authority on accessing this prague rachlt let's move on to the regional mobility as service opportunities. we've had discussions and participating with mtc and the bay area transit agencies related to the clipper fare payment system that you just mentioned. the clipper -- there's a clipper executive board that oversees the system's next generation upgrade known as c2. the clipper executive board discusses the role of the clipper system in supporting mobility a a service or moss. you will hear a lot of that term here over the next couple of
11:38 am
years. month is an alternative to vehicle ownership where people can access shared mobility, with trip planning, payment and navigation. timma staff will participate in follow-up discussions in that regard. we provided a letter of support just recently to the contra costa transportation authority for an application for federal transportation management, technologies, grant funds. the grant award would support the region alamos platform with initial deployment in contra costa. let's move on to water transportation, which is a major potential benefit here for the island. and that we as staff are starting it focus on. at its march 1, 2018, meeting, we authorized staff to proceed with an exploratory study of smaller vessel explorations.
11:39 am
they would look at the cleaner vessels delivered relatively quickly for initial service for locations such as treasure island. from our perspective, treasure island is probably one of the optimum locations ave a pilot in that regard. if you have had the opportunity to move back and forth between treasure island and the ferry building, it's only about a 10- to 12-minute run, so we think there's a lot of opportunity here. the study will be overseen by a committee of the board comprised of directors. we're working actively with a scope of work that includes treasure island as a case study for smaller vessel service and will participate on the technical staff advisory committee. let's move on to federal highway administration. national congestion pricing conference. there's a spotlight on treasure

island. fhwa invited staff to present at the pricing conference at the u.s. department of transportation in washington, d.c. there was on may 22 and 23. the conference covered a range of pricing strategies, for example, managed lanes, computer incentives and parking, pricing. principal planner rachel hyatt presented on overhaul of housing, pricing, travel demand management. the conference host has provided funding for timma policy analysis in the 2013-2016 time frame. moving on to local issues, we're right now actually planning a tour of the island for the commissioners. we had hoped to do it this week. the weather looked like it was going to cooperate, but we'll go ahead and do it a different day. so we'll work with your schedules, to do that, commissioner ronen, as
11:41 am
requested. next item, advanced transportation and technology deployment. once again, the grant as reported, sfmta and sfcta have been awarded $10.99 million. of that total, $5 million is being utilized by timma and will support the toll system design and implementation. $300,000 will support the piloting of an autonomous circulator shuttle on the island. at its june 29, timma meeting, we provided an update on grant award and are ready to move forward with utilization of of funds and are excited to that opportunity. related to that, staff will speak at the upcoming automated vehicle symposium scheduled for july 9-12. the annual symposium is organized by the national transportation research board and so hes yugs for unmanned vehicle systems international.
