and the number of shuttles that we would plan to operate. they are scheduled to come to our full board meeting next month to provide an update on the pilot program planning. and that also on the ferry service, it is worth noting that tee icd has approved judge has approval for a lengthened seasonal construction window. this may allow them to complete the construction of the new ferry improvements in two construction seasons, rather than three. they're still evaluating the constructibility review. it definitely gives him a great deal more flexibility overall. at. their plan is to complete the construction of the terminal and the breakwaters somewhere -- in summer of 2021 construction windows.

and with that, they are evaluating the possibility of early limited start of ferry service i would focus on just the commute hours, and potentially utilize smaller vessels than the ultimate operation would utilize. with the facilities available, it is all parts of the tolling evaluation, as well as the transit pass evaluation. and we will provide an update for the title board in september with the viability of potentially having an early start of ferry service, as early as 2021. or 2022. originally, it was thought that because of the high operating subsidy of ferry service, we would need to have a lot more new residents to the islands before we could initiate ferry service, and we are excited

about the possibility of starting a ferry service even earlier. in terms of the overall schedule, the work that we are undertaking right now, they are looking at outreach to residents and businesses on the island which is ongoing. this year, they plan to finalize their planning for the affordability program and transit pass. and continue the toll system in engineering as well as planning for transit and bus service with ac transit and the possible second munimobile route. and coordinating with the ferry service planning with hopefully, the intention of bringing the ferry service on-line as early as 2021 or 2022. this next fixed -- fiscal year,

this morning, they are considering their fiscal year budget. they will be meeting on the second floor after 10:00 am. i mentioned earlier, the policy with the bay area tolling authority, the transit pass design that we updated last month, as well as going hand-in-hand with the affordability program, we are working on parking management plans with the s.f. m.t.a. that is a development that the s.f. m.t.a. has been working on. this is really hours of on street parking management by s.f. m.t.a. both metre collection, enforcement and otherwise. and then towards the end of the

year looking at toll policy adoption, and again, that will be a highly informed by the outcomes of the discussion of ferry service. and then also, this year they will be issuing the r.f.p. for toll system integrators to actually do the system development, as well as the equipment installation on the islands. so that -- i will take any questions that you have. >> thank you very much. that was very detailed. let me open it up for questions from the commissioners. >> yes, this is very exciting for the different transportation policies and programs that we have, and i would like to note that the pilot program for the autonomous vehicle, starting on treasure island, it is wonderful

to have that funded, and have it be a pilot. especially on treasure island, which is an island. we can test that while it settles. and see how it works. i also would like to note that the revenue is that we get from tolling, in fact support the public transit options, including the shuttles and varies. as we consider the tolling programs and the revenues that they generate, i think we have to be cognizant that part of the subsidy of the transit, the public transit options comes from the revenues themselves, from the tolls. would you like to comment on that? >> no, i think that's, it always bears repeating, our program here is intended to be self-contained. that revenues generated by the

tolling program on from the parking on the island are then -- does help fund and subsidize the ferry operations, and to the ac transit bus service to the island. by the time we have billed out, the modelling indicates that ac transit service maybe self-supporting or self-supporting. the ferry service will always require a substantial subsidy, in particular if we want price for residents on the island not to be a driving factor in choice between taking the bus or the ferry. if we want that to be essentially, neutral between choosing those two services, then we will need to substantially subsidize the ferry operations, and that is

why those other revenues will come in. there is an interest and we are continuing to pursue what possible external operating subsidies we might be able to secure, of course, that will help offset or reduce, potentially, total hours of operation or ultimate toll levels. but the other function of the tool, of course, is to try and ensure that half of all of the trips, on and off of the island are made to be of public transit. the toll has two functions. one is to help subsidize the transit, to make it desirable and easy to use, and then the other is to, you know, ensure that people get out of their cars and utilize that transit once we've made it available. >> i think that the ferry service is such an important part of the overall

transportation plans for treasure island, which is, in fact,, and islands. and the necessity of having some of the means of transport, other than using a car. so, the ferry links to the mainland is a very, very important. so i am glad to be here and we are looking to see about bringing the ferry service on faster, earlier, and particularly using the smaller vehicles, the smaller ferryboats as a means to start the service earlier. that is great news on that. >> thank you. some questions, again, thank you for the detailed presentation. for the y. bia westbound bridges, that is going to be one of the key of getting a treasure island, when will we see the

overall, you know, infrastructure planned? i know that, i presume you will be bringing it back to really see where we are going with that? >> on the west side bridges project, because of the steepness of the hillside, it is a technically challenging construction project. >> absolutely. >> as part of that, i didn't highlight it when i had the slide up, but the s.f. c.t.a. is adopting a construction management slash general contractor approach to that where they select general contractor in, while they are still in the design, and that the contractor constructibility review helps to inform the design. so that when they actually bid

the work out, and what they do their then, as they prepare bid packages to subcontractors, that then operate and perform under a general contractor who has already been selected. so they will be putting out that bid for the general contractor before the end of this year even though the construction of the west side bridges is not planned until 2020. >> yes, we would like to -- every phase that, you know, we expect them to come back to present to us for what their plans are and what their methodologies are. secondly, i think what all of us need to do, we need to, at some point, be moving to conclusion about the subsidies. we have all these diverse users on the island. we have the disabled, we have the folks that are low income,

we have -- and so, at some point, we have debated that and it is great. we have all of these ideas on the table. but i think, moving forward, i basically would like to know how we are proceeding. all these suggestions and all the comments that we've made throughout the deliberations to make sure that are being conveyed. they need to come back here and present all the options so that we can thoroughly debate about those and make sure, you know, now that we have all of these other things, you know, going on. so that will be something that is a high priority for, you know, this commission, and we've said that all along. that would be very very constructive for them to come back here. with regards to the ferry, actually, i am helping -- i am chairing the port of san francisco transportation. you know, the committee for

their master land use plan, and it's been going on for about two years now. one of the key elements is what transportation wants to echo what the commissioners said earlier. the infrastructure to support our ferry, actually starts at the port of san francisco. the dialogue must begin because that is where everything is going to land to come here, and it is very interesting. that is how i was involved in that. the porch of san francisco, at some point, all of a needs to be talking together, and because of the demand, i think the water transportation is the only option now. we need to melt down with the bridge. it is congested and we have not built out anything yet, and so, they are on the front end of looking at maximizing their infrastructure development to accommodate.

now we are reminding them, that treasure island, and we will be having, probably even more visitors, you know, than the mainland. at some point, all the stakeholders need to be brought together to really compare notes as to how they are going about doing this, and it all starts with us and the san francisco, you know, the port of san francisco, so that the city, the mayor and the board of supervisors and the state, add whatever, you can begin to look at the magnitude of the infrastructure capital improvement that we are talking about which is going to surpass the plan that i saw. they are going to need to more than that. it will be stemming from all the discussions. i just want to put it out there so that, you know, we are moving ahead, you know, with them. so are there any other questions from the commissioners? >> go ahead, go ahead.

>> just a quick mention, there is a lot of discussion, internal discussion with the inhabitants on the island, and a lot of misunderstanding. so i think, just as we move forward, we need to just keep explaining, and letting people know what's going on. i think many people feel like some of their rights are being violated. there will be fewer cars on the island, without any doubt. but that's, you know, that's needed. our environment needs it. but to have the current residence as participants, rather than watchers, and gossiping, it is just really essential, because i think of almost anything, when there is a discussion about, it is the whole issue that really seems to

get people, and car limitation. i think we can easily allay a lot of concerns, but we just need to make sure that we bring the residents with us as we move forward. >> thank you. that was great. it was a great update and a lot of information in there. on the tolling equipment, it hasn't been chosen yet, is that what you are saying? it is part of the process? >> there's some coordination. we want it to be compatible with other equipment. and potentially being integrated with their backup house operation. and so we are trying to coordinate, in terms of our time in, and their next generation of equipment timing to make sure that we don't install equipment that is immediately obsolete. that will be part of the system

integrator contract that they will be putting out later this year. >> great. i would just want make sure th that, like, it would take fast track, you know. >> absolutely. we actually, like i said, we want to be integrated with their operation so we know that, for instance, someone arriving at the island, whether they are, you know, just paid a toll at the tollbooths in the east bay, you know, that we would understand that and reflect that and not double charge an incoming car from the east bay. >> then the other thing on the fairies, that is such a fascinating part of the island. it is so important. i understand the subsidies and why you would want to run the ferry during commute times, but it seems like having lived here my whole life, just looking at the amount of tourist i want to go to alcatraz, you have to make a reservation like weeks, if not a month ahead, or to angel

island ferries. they always jammed on the weekends. it might be worth looking into if there were some sort of -- and we have such a great commercial businesses now on the island, maybe, you know, trying to help make the island more of a destination spot for tourists that could take a boat over. and charge them a premium for that boat ride to get to the island might be an opportunity to not have to subsidize the fairies as much. >> yeah. that is definitely part of the tolling conversation. like i said, we want to have a transit pass structure for residents where cost is not a differentiation between munimobile and the ferry, per se,, but for people who are just taking an excursion fair to the island, a one-off, that that is what would be at a premium, you know, relative to other modes. although it is difficult to model, we do anticipate, as you

said, high demand, you know, this will be the shortest, and even if we charge a premium relative to munimobile, the least expensive way to get out on the water and have that experience, and so we do believe that that is a significant potential market. >> let me answer that question. one of the great things about the ports of san francisco transportation master land use plan is that it does recognize to have a level playing field for fairies and taxis, alt small operators. that is part of the overall master plan. and so, again, that is why i am really suggesting, at some point, we need to have all the stakeholders together so we can compare notes on what the plans are. because they are at the front end and they do have provisions now to have taxis and water that

we will be beneficial, you know, from. it is already in place. it is just the activation and making sure that the infrastructure is there to support that, and also the information dissemination by all the stakeholders are in place so that we can all march along together. i am, going to be suggesting bringing everybody back at some point so they can lay out what the overall, you know, master plans are. thank you. a public comment? none? okay. next thing on the agenda. >> item number 7. discussion of future agenda items by directors. >> okay. on the agenda, i think like we said we would like to know, for the subsidies, what we are doing with that. i think it is great. to bring them back. at some point.

commissioners, anything on the agenda? >> okay. then we will depart to you for the rest of the things. >> okay. again, thank you for being here. for my commissioners, and to the staff. and the public. thank you for your presence at this meeting. we will see you next time. >> i overslept. [laughter] >> i just wanted, now that we are adjourned, i also want to point out kevin griffith...

>> we love our parks, but we love... >> and the community who is really the core of it all, came together and said what we need is a place for our teenager to play, not just play grounds for

the kids and soccer fields but we need a skate park that will keep the kids home in the neighborhood so they can play where they live. >> the children in the neighborhood and it will be a major boone. and we have generations, the youth generations that will be able to use this park in different places. >> the best park in san francisco right here. >> creating place where people can be active and lead, active, healthy life styles that are going to just stay with them for life. ♪

>> go*ek. -- ok. good morning. let's get started. this is the treasure island mobility committee meeting. today on tuesday, june 19. and it is now 10:35. alberto quintanilla is our clerk and i would like to take a moment to thank maya hernandez and adrian starks at sfgov tv for broadcasting this meeting and making everything available to the public.

mr. clerk, would you like to please call the roll? >> item one roll call. [roll call] commissioner kim absent. we have quorum. >> all right. would you like to call on the next item? >> yes. items two and three compromise the consent calendar. these items are considered routine. staff is prepared to present if desired. if a member objects, any of the consent items may be removed and considered separately. >> ok. any comments? could i have a motion? >> public comment? >> i will. >> could i have a motion first? >> sure. a motion to approve the minutes. >> ok. any public comments on items two and three? seeing none, public comment is now closed. so, there is a motion. >> yeah. >> and i'll -- well, any objection, the motion passes. >> call roll for the first act.

>> let's call roll. [laughter] >> [roll call] we have first approval a. >> ok. thank you. mr. clerk, could you call the next items? >> yes. item four, recommend acomesing of the proposed fiscal year 2018-19 annual budgets and work program. this is an action item. >> ok. here to speak on this item is -- >> eric cordoba, deputy director of capital projects. excited to be here to present the annual budget and work program. got a power point presentation i want to go through very quickly. >> ok. ok, mr. cordoba. >> as you're aware, we are right now in the planning phase of going ahead and enhancing all the transit options to the island. right now, you can take the 25

bus to the island back and forth and that is about it or drive on and off. the plan is to have a new ferry connection, to have a/c transit and muni service. so, the budget before you will go ahead and outline what's going to happen over the next year. >> ok. >> the most significant item here in front of you here to the takeaway here is that 2021, the summer of 2021, approximately three years from now, will be the launch date in essence for all of the systems here. the tolling systems and all the enhanced transit. including ferry service. some type of initial ferry service. so that is good news in that regard. it's taken a while for the development to start. but if you were to go to the island today, this is definitely an island under construction. things are starting to happen

so that's good news in that regard. as i indicated before, there's a variety of options and the quay is to get all those transit options up and running so in essence we discourage single-car occupancy coming on and off the island. we'll have car share, bike share, a transit pass. we'll have an on island shuttle. we have t.d.m. programs that we're going to go ahead and all start up. so, the next three years, this is the beginning of what i would call the real moving forward with developing all the policies and programs and the implementation for all of the new services. and the timeline here is over the next year plus, in particular there are key items that we need bring forth to this committee and to the timma board which, in particular, is the affordability and transit pass and a lot of specifics as

it relates to toll system engineering, ferry service planning and other items here that we discussed in the past. so, frankly, i'm really excited because we've been in a bit of a ld hoing pattern. so, this is the start really of us moving forward with lots of final planning and engineering and implementation. associated with that are agreements. there's numerous agency agreements that we are right now working with a.c. transit on sfmta, the bay area toll authority because of the fact that we're basically tolling folks coming on and off the bridge so we have to make sure we work the agreements with them as it relates to what we call their leg of the interchange. the treasure island development authority bob beck is here today. he is leading all the development efforts with the developer himself and then also when it comes to ferry service, we're having discussions right now and crafting m.o.u.s with the water transportation authority. and to be in the reactive phase

of applying for and obtaining as much federal, state and local and regional money that we can. so later on in the presentation, we'll talk about that, item seven in particular. so, we have been successful in that regard. on the screen right now shows you the different planning activities that are ongoing. also the engineering activities. we've got our, in essence, program management team working on all of this and rachel hyatt leading all the planning efforts in particular and we have some exciting news, like i indicated, on item seven. there is going to be a lot of communication outreach here over the summer and into the fall because later this year, you will have in front of you numerous m.o.u.s, etc.. and policy, at least minimum draft policies in front of you. let's talk numbers here. we're talking about a budget of $3.5 million, which is primarily federal and local money.

and right now that will put us in a position -- not a large budget, but at least froebl largest budget we've had to date in that regard. so we have an increase now in budget because now we have the fe ral money starting to flow. which is good news. this shows basically in a different format the revenue coming in. and then the expenditures in terms of how we are, in essence, spending that money. >> wow. what a balanced budgets. >> yes. happy to report a balance budget. [laughter] and that concludes my presentation. so if you have any questions. >> yeah. can you speak a little bit on -- about the planning around the

transit pass implementation and does it include discussions? >> yes. we've had discussions with the residents. we are at a point where we have preliminary recommendations that were brought forth recently. we plan to come with final recommendations later this year. we still have outreach this fall like we indicated. >> and the idea behind this is to manage the traffic. i guess there is a little bit of a little more understanding. because when i think in terms of tolls, it's like crossing the bridge to the other colony or other city. to oakland or whatever. and then in treasure island to me is part of san francisco. it's almost like a toll. >> understood. >> can you explain that a little bit? >> sure. we'll make it as easy as

possible for any existing and future residents to be able to have the option to take some type of transit service back and forth from san francisco to oakland. we're in the design phase of that right now. i think you probably have questions related to the affordability program. which is key for us in making sure that we make this as affordable as possible and get any credits we can to the extent possible. we are developing right now a draft of affordability program and basically will have more details here to come over the next couple of committee meetings. ok. thank you. any other questions? >> good morning. i wanted to add on to eric's answer to commissioner yee. this tolling program was approved as part of the development agreement and the development approvals back in 2011 as a way to fund all the mobility services that we're providing.

so it is a unique situation and the legislature recognized it as a pilot approach to sustainable development. >> yeah. and it will be our first in san francisco, right? >> that's correct. >> it will be interesting to see what happens. because as you know, others, commissioners including commissioner -- chair au has expressed interest for the downtown area. >> indeed. thank you. >> are you finished? any public comments on this issue? seeing none, public comment is now closed. could i have a motion to do something with this? >> motion to approve this item. >> ok. i guess this is a new house. we'll call roll. [roll call] >> we have approval.

thank you commissioner, vice chair yee and call item number five. >> recommend approval of land easement from san francisco department of public works. this is an action item. good morning. good to see you. eric cordoba. deputy director of care forward promise. as part of the tolling systems, conduit systems, etc., we will need appropriate easement. s to be executed with the treasure island development authority. so this team here gives award for those easements as we move into final design for all the systems. we'll always work with legal council as it relates to the specifics. and the interests on the real property. but the item before you basically is to allow the executive director to execute

those timely easements and the first ones are on mccalla road. mccalla road is about to start construction soon. i apologize. i have on the screen here,ly show you this -- yep. there it is. there you go. in essence, that is an exhibit that is attached to the side and it shows in essence the network of the tolling systems, where the tolling points will be to identify cars coming on and off the island. also as part of the monitoring system that we'll have for traffic on the island. right now it is responsibility of the development team to go ahead and dlaukt road and reconstruct it with new information including infrastructure associated with the tolling interests here and the first easement that we'll accept is actually small

easements on mccalla road. ok. >> seeing no questions or comments from [inaudible] open up to public comment on item number five. public comment is now closed. >> just a simple comment. i think these projects you presentered in item four and this whole thing, you'll talk about the ferry also, i feel like this is really the model we'll be uz using. i'm excited about the theory in particular because once you get into the water taxi system, you can develop even further for the rest of san francisco. >> thank you for the comment. we're really excited about the ferry system. we think it will become a mode of choice, frankly and working towards that end. >> thank you very much. can we take a motion to forward

this with recommendations? >> i'll do that. >> we have a motion and a second and we can do that without objection. clerk, could we please call item six and item seven. >> the yerba buena island infrastructure update, information. and update on the advanced transportation and congestion management technologies deployment, information item. >> thank you. >> thank you. very excited to present on item number six related to the infrastructure update. it's passionate for me. that's what we like to do in this regard, to go ahead and build and that is what we'll do over the next three years. let me go through a slide show presentation. let's start with what we just completed which is the new i-80 east and westbound off ramps on

the west side oft island. we're on the close out stage with final change order work. it was opened to the public in october of 2016 and we are within budget on the $98 million overall total budget of which approximately $65 million was for construction. as part of that project, we work with the bay area toll authority to construct a vista point which, frankly, has been very popular with the public. it's basically the initial stop if you are coming from a pedestrian or bicycle path across the new eastern span to the island. it has a restroom facility and some very beautiful vista point in terms of taking pictures, etc. we're licensed to the u.s. coast guard in that regard and we're working with them and with the bay area toll authority to see if we can make it a permanent location. so we're working towards that end. >> i'm very proud to state

that, you know, we received numerous awards here, in particular from the american society of civil engineers for the construction effort here and our plan is to duplicate that for the future projects as we move forward. let's talk about those future projects in particular, what you have in front of you is the roadway network. an aerial photo that shows construction projects and difference colors. i want to explain them to you. first will be the mccalla road reconstruction and forest road detour. mccalla road is in maroon and the forest road detour is basically in orange. so right now starting later this summer, the treasure island development authority and their development team will go ahead and start reconstructing mccalla road. widening it, including pedestrian facilities and all brand-new infrastructure. probably about 12 to 16 months'

worth of work. that plan is to have that completed by the 2018-2019 period. le thats detour is key because we have to make sure that we are consistent with homeland security interests working with the coast guard so that detour is basically a roadway that brings you up and over the island to the other side to access the east on and off ramps there. the next project in progression is the i-80 south gate road interchange. if you recall, it's been many year, but that i-80 eastbound off ramp coming off the bottom deck as you pass through the tunnel, that has been closed for at least 10-plus years. so this project will re-open it and go ahead and realign south gate road in that area. some very tight confines there. there is also the pedestrian touchdown access which is in orange there. the viewing area that cal

transhas set up. so basically as part of our design is to go ahead and grade separate all the movements so that is a much safer off ramp than had been currently proposed than what had been there in the past. our intent is to move to construction in the spring of next year and the good news here is that we're leveraging fractionly local funds to obtain $36 million of federal and state funds. so in that regard, the taxpayersing authority will be in essence the contracting entity so we'll give you periodic updates over the next few months, not only here that the committee but also at the board. the next project in terms of infrastructure, which would complete the loop of brand-new roadway facilities on yerba buena island is what we refer tos as the westside bridges. that aerial picture there basically shows the bridges as they are basically resting on

the hillside there above the bay. they are seismickically deficient. there is a total of eight bridges that are seismickically deficient. we're going ahead and retrofiting five of them and replacing three of them. and actually building new retaining wall structures to push the roadway into the best soils in the area. the project cost is approximately $69 million. once again, we have taken some very minimal local funds and leveraged it for significant federal and state funds to the tune of $69 million. we'll deliver that project via construction management, general contracting method. i was in front of the transportation authority board in march if i recall correctly to discuss that with the entire board. right now, we're at a point where we're ready to issue an r.f.q. here this summer and come back to the transportation authority board for recommendation to get a contractor on board to help us and work with our design team to get it completed from a design perspective. and then move it out to

construction by the december of 2020. and it's ready to have the roadway complete by the summer of 2021 so we also installed new tolling systems as part of all of these contracts. so just wanted to make sure you're clear in that regard. let's talk about the development. we're talking about a 14 to 15-year build out here. the most important item here is to recognize phase one because that is really what's going on today, which is what is listed as why in that lime green color and the dark green as area number one. so everything around the yerba buena island as part of phase one as well as the area around the administration building. that's all phase one. my understanding is that yes they've received approvals. and if you go out there today

you see a lot of demolition that's occurred. now we'll start to see some new infrastructure cruxed as part of all that. everything ties together here and once again to that 2021 start date, making sure that we, in essence, have all of the transit services in place once people -- more people start to live on the island. once again, that is the date that we're targeting three years from today. similar graphic to the last one i showed you. the affordability program and the transit pass will be coming to you later this fall. as well as some policy decisions in terms of totaling the amount, the hours, etc. we've been working with that to obtain matching funds, etc. and that completes my presentation. and if you have any questions,

i'm very -- i'm happy to answer. this is just an information item. >> seeing no questions, we'll move on to the next presentation with ms. hyatt. >> public comment. >> oh, i was going to call public comment together. thank you. >> good morning. rachel hyatt, principal and transportation planner. and i want to give you an update on a major source of funding that is supporting our budget over the next four years. [please stand by]

-- $5 million of that is for tolls. it was intended in our grant application to support the deployment of autonomous shuttle on the island. so some background -- you've seen this graphic about the five locations on the island. the shuttle is something that was planned a bit and has been sought a bit in the past planning with the island design and the transit system planning. this is a graphic from some of

the planning that's been done so far looking at what a shuttle service on island might look like once the full build-out is achieved. as you are probably aware, the vision on island is to have an intermodal transit hub, where the transportation building is and that's where all the transit services will come together on island, including the ferry terminal. and then for a last mile-first mile solution, we will have a circulating shuttle, actually three, circulating throughout the neighborhoods on island and serving that intermodal terminal. so there are three -- three potential routes or three routes that are called for serving yerba buena, city neighborhood and east side neighborhood. the purpose of testing an autonomous technology for this -- and, again, it's a pilot.

so this will be a pilot that will evaluate and see how -- what it contributes. some reasons to consider this, one, potentially a cost-effective solution. and an innovative service model, so something on demand. for instance, something that can be hailed and can serve people in an on-demand service. another reason is just to involve people and involve treasure island residents and businesses in the development of autonomous technology. so there can be opportunities to involve -- there's job core on island to involve treasure island, to involve folks in learning about the new technologies and helping to support this pilot, so an

economic development angle. so those are some of the reasons that we think this is a neat opportunity. the pilot period that we have to work with with this grant is four years. so we do have an agreement executed this spring. it's a four-year term. so we envision ramping up, being able to get a shuttle out there 18 months from now, so before 2020. it will be a pilot or -- we will set up an evaluation system. so we'll identify data requirements, a safety plan, test plan, and be evaluating all those issues, as the pilot goes on. finally, something that we'll

think about that's associated with testing a new type of service model is bringing together this shuttle service with the other public and private transportation services that will be introduced to the island and bringing in technology that can help to make people's transportation experience more seamless. and that means bringing together sort of a -- in a more simplified way trip planning and access to trip planners that can show you all of your options across all modes, public and private, where you can easily pay for your different modes through a simple interface, whether it's a public or a private. and where you can get additional features like navigation on transit and feedback, you know, on your travel through this tool. so that's something we'll be

looking at, is, you know, how can this shuttle service, if it's a creative or innovative type of dynamic system be integrated into the other transportation services that we'll also be introducing. ultimately, it could -- the one vision where ultimately this could go is to bring in the policy aspects to this. we'll be a travel demand agency, supporting people's transportation and there could be ways to incorporate incentives and rewards and things like that into this type of technology. the next steps for each of these projects involve, first of all, for the toll system, eric talked about that. there ultimately -- he will be

bringing a request for proposals for the toll integration system, which is the main design piece of the toll system and there's also the civil engineering that is going on. for this a.v. shuttle demonstration, we'll bring you a proposal of the design of the shuttle service itself, so looking at the different service options and also looking at the different partnerships and community involvement, stake holder involvement, that we can bring. and we'll also, probably along with the transit pass discussion, bring more ideas related to this multimodal integration and what types of options can support that. that will be something that we'll probably bring to you, associated with the transit pass recommendation. thank you and happy to take your questions. >> supervisor kim: i do have a couple questions.

this is sul actually very exciting and i was wondering what jurisdictions or agencies are piloting autonomous vehicles for public service across the country. >> yeah, across the country, there's a number of pilots going on in a number of states. the photos that we showed, las vegas was one of them. so las vegas has this pilot on their public streets that's happening now. florida has some pilots that they have gone ahead and procured. a couple of cities in florida. boston. and, in fact, even here in the bay area in the east bay, contra costa county is partnering with dublin and with bart to test an autonomous shuttle that will circulate through their bishop ranch business park and ultimately their plan is to have that served by bart as well.

so that's another here in the bay area, operation of an autonomous shuttle on the streets. >> supervisor kim: who has been providing the procurement for the vehicles or the services? >> we as the cities have been the lead agencies to procure typically a operator and vehicle together as a package. >> supervisor kim: what companies have been providing the service? >> there's a handful of them that are actually out there. so navia is the name of one company. easy mile, the name of another. local motors is the name of another company. those are really the big three. i think there are some others that are in sort of startups. zooks is in the design phase here in san francisco, but i'm not aware of them actually operating a pilot yet. so it's a small handful. >> supervisor kim: you said it

would be a mixture of public and private transportation services, so i assume that's muni ferry being the public side and the private -- is that you are assuming that the developer will be providing services or are you talking about lyft and uber? >> one potential service could be water taxi service. we've heard interest in some of the start-up water taxi companies in being able to serve the island if there are facilities available for them to do that. >> supervisor kim: is there water taxi service in the bay area? >> there is. in operation, a varying range of sizes of vessels from your small, more taxi-sized, to prop s.f. -- and eric knows more about this than i do -- but 50-passenger, 100-passenger ferry, vessels, small ferries. >> supervisor kim: okay. well thank you so much.

any other questions? seeing none, we'll open up for public comment for items 6 and 7. seeing no public comment, public comment is now closed. thank you. it's always really interesting to learn the different concepts and ideas that we'll be piloting through this mobility management program. it's exciting to think about the different things that we'll be able to pilot here on treasure island that can help us to understand how to improve public transportation services throughout the city. at this time, i want to -- mr. clerk, can we call items 8 and 9? >> clerk: item 8, introduction of new items. item 9, public comment. >> supervisor kim: any introduction of new items? seeing none, we'll open up for public comment on item 8 and general public comment. seeing none on items 8 and 9, public comment is now closed. mr. clerk, are there any other

items before this committee? >> clerk: there are none. >> supervisor kim: seeing none, meeting is adjourned. thank you, everyone. ready. i think we have a full house tonight. i call to order. welcome to the tuesday, june 19, meeting of the san francisco entertainment commission. my name is bryant tan, the commission president. we don't have a lot of people to send this message out to tonight, but if you have -- if you are a member of the public and would like to speak when i call public comment, we have public comment forms. you f
