we carry 26% of all daily trips in san francisco and generates less than 2 purse of the city transportation related greenhouse grass emissions. you are getting a disproportionate benefit when you ride muni as opposed to driving in the car particularly if it is not a zero admission car. that is reflective of that investment we made as a city over the years since we were founded more than 100 years ago.

it is a good fit for the global climate action summit. we hope those participants ride muni while they are here. finally, before the summit this weekend is the seventh annual muni heritage weekend, produced in collaboration with market street railway. it will be held from noon to 5:00 saturday and sunday across from the ferry building. we will have a lot of old vehicles out on display. rail vehicles, buses and many will be available and will be operate anything the afternoon on saturday and sunday. we encourage folks to come out. it is a great opportunity to reflect on and appreciate the great history that we have that is living history in terms of the rolling stock that still moves people to this day.

we hope to see everyone on saturday and sunday afternoon across from the ferry building. that concludes my report. >> thank you very much. the heritage weekend will include the old muni buses we see out there to be available and out running if you have never seen or ridden on one of those. it gives you appreciation for how fracture bus technology has come. i appreciate going into what we are going to be doing. what caught my attention the line management focusing on the 10 worst lines there is a lot to be learned there as they see where the hold-ups are. it will be interesting to have follow-up at some tonight. i would think they would see the buses held up here due to either rampant double parking or something. i am hoping we will gain in

valuable insight and make great improvements. thanthank you for the good repo. >> one specific question to the report which we talked about before is the inservice announcements. we will get back to a sum with more announcements when there are problems. what i understood him to be saying those are for metro service in the station. where are we? is that correct? >> that is correct. there is some ability to make announcements on trains as well. we should be in the final months of completing the second phase of the new radio system. the first phase being on the buses. the second phase on the railcars, and once that is complete we have much enhanced capability for on board announcements on the vehicles which is particularly important when they are in the subway. >> that is where i was going with that. there was a period in time where

i think i had personally requested this and they were coming out of the west portal control center explaining not only in the stations but also on the vehicles. i understand that has technical issues with it. i think getting back to that and getting to a sum where there is a centralized announcement is going to have a great effect for customers on the psychological issue we were discussing before. people want to know what is going on live time and having one source of the information is really helpful. the trash fire i happened to be riding at that time. i am glad our people stopped it. i am glad mr. haley has taken responsibility for it. that was an instance where the communication wasn't coming out as clearly and centralized as i think it could have been. i think this is something we have to master and not rely on

the radio and driver announcements. it is not effective. we need a system where there is a central message to the customers in the subway as broadly as we can what is going on and what the recommendation if there is an alternate route. >> understood and agreed. >> we have members of the publ public. >> members thank you for the record concerning matters specifically mentioned in the report. ridership is important. it is important to get accurate counts. as i use muni mobile at times, i am simply get on the bus, but it doesn't have the same functionality as when i tap my clipper card using the monthly

pass. it is important we dig down to make sure these numbers are accurate. having ridden through the tunnel, we have to be proactive in everything we do. we read about collisions, 35 per week multiplied by 50. that sounds like 1.5 or two collisions for every vehicle in the fleet. that is scary. look at preventable versus nonpreventable. think about the smith system of driving, all good chips like milk. make sure we have everybody paying attention. ensure pretrips are done, checking for hazards because it is nice when we can acknowledge people who go above and beyond the call of duty to solve

problems. how much better if we didn't have that happen in the first nation and we can be a muni that doesn't make the news. that muni that i want is something that will run every day like me turning on the light switch so i am looking forward to hearing more things, and i want the ridership to increase. we have to stay engaged to give people information they can get in realtime. thank you. >> next speaker please. >> herbert winier. >> i understand rightder ship is down in greater numbers. i wonder in san francisco is it down in absolute numbers as well? now, this is important because if ridership is down, there is

less revenue, and i believe the reason for the proposed fare increases because of the lack of revenue. now, okay, we are getting more bus us. that is a good thing. i am wondering if those buses shouldn't cover is routes that have been altered or deleted such as the line that used to run to 33rd avenue and restore the 26th valencia which was important to connect downtown with the neighborhood triangle area. now, it is good you are hiring more full-time drivers because what is happens is that when drivers are part-time they do not get health benefits and pension benefits. i believe that was the source of, you know, having part-time drivers.

you were safing on pension and health benefits, correct me if i'm wrong. these are the comments i have. muni wants more bang for the buck. we get the bang, you get the buck. thank you. >> any more public comment. public comment is closed. madam chair that concludes the business before you today. we are adjourned. thank you all very much. >> thank you.

>> to be here to honor the amazing dragon boat team of lincoln high school. [applause] you know, i've been fortunate enough to be here at city hall and we've been able to honor our city of san francisco for some amazing accomplishments. a high school that once [inaudible] and the football team for winning the first state championship. and now lincoln high school's dragonboat games. this is absolutely incredible. and i couldn't be more proud of your accomplishments.

this is a feat to come together not specifically to win a championship, but for the love of the sport. a committed team that is like a family. that is why they're champions because they work together and they support each other and they [inaudible]. we're training them to work hard and even when they want to give up sometimes, they pushed themselves that extra mile. so the lincoln high school dragonboat team took home four gold medals. [cheering] [applause] it says gold at the 11th annual dragonboat race in hungary. [applause]

what an amazing accomplishment led by several participants including [inaudible]. [applause] and the team managed by brian [inaudible]. 37 student-athletes competed in six division categories winning gold in four and silver in two. four gold is pretty amazing. and it's not just about racing. it's about uniting a diverse group of young people for a common goal. together they made something amazing happen so this is why we want to say that today we honor that accomplishment and to bring us, at this time, someone else who represents

your [inaudible] at lincoln high school, including the volleyball team we had in here just not too long ago. your supervisor, katie james. come on up. [applause] like your outfit. [laughter] congratulations to lincoln high school dragonboat team. i still remember [inaudible] and i could'nt believe it when we took first place in the competition. a round of applause to all of you for all of your hard work. [applause] [inaudible] here at city hall

[inaudible] and the dragonboat was not very good. including myself. [inaudible] and we don't know why. but it is very hard. so i commend you all for being able to [inaudible]. just incredible. [applause] for those of us [inaudible], it is an incredible experience with them and i hear you loud and clear. so, we're going to get in gear for another dragonboat championship. [applause] so with that, i will [inaudible].

the unified school district and [inaudible]. team members, [inaudible]. and i also want to thank [inaudible] these competitors today. so with that i'd like to bring up another member here at city hall, [inaudible]. [applause] >> my goodness. congratulations! [applause]

it might be [inaudible] but i think that the work that we do is as important to support our education system and our schools. one of the things that i had left to do when i was [inaudible] was support [inaudible] that are happening and i really want to thank both mayor london breed as well as kate james. i'm not sure you know, but [inaudible] honor and celebrate your accomplishments. this is something that [inaudible]. it actually really happens with london breed and with mayor ed lee before, where we really wanted to say that our students are accomplishing and winning, are coming together as a team and we want to celebrate you here in your city hall. so i want to say a big, big thank you to mayor london breed and katie tang for spearheading that. [applause]

i heard that you won this competition in hungary. i guess you were "hungry" for the win. [laughter] but, i know. i guess -- i thought it was a good joke. in any case, you know, part of the amazing thing about dragon boating, having been in a boat before and doing it, it's a lot of hard work and i think we have a lot to learn here in city hall with the things that you have accomplished as a team together. you have to get the timing right. you have to work together. you have to listen to the beat. you have to be rowing in the same direction and all working together in order to get that win. because a win isn't about really big distances. we're talking about seconds that matter. the difference that matters. and here in city hall, we have a lot of big challenges and if we're all able to row together, the same way, go in the same direction, accomplish the same goals the way that you have together as a team, i think that we'd go a lot further.

so, again, i just simply want to thank you for holding up these values and for your amazing, amazing win. congratulations to you. [applause] and, of course, my mistake, i am supposed to introduce to you davina goldwasser. please come on up. [applause] >> thank you. on behalf of san francisco unified school district, i also want to congratulate our dragon boat team. i had a few moments before to check in with some students just to kind of better understand what the level of commitment really is all about. and so what i heard from them was that practices were anywhere between 10 to 15 hours a week and that goes even

beyond all of their family commitments and school commitments. so i really want that to be, you know, really highlighted here and how much commitment all of you put into this and i'm just so excited for you that it paid off. and you're such a role model for all of the other students looking to pursue their passions. i want to acknowledge the level of commitment from the parents that are out there and the whole family because it also took sacrifice from the families that are out there to coordinate around practices, to entrust the school coaches and to allow your own students to be a part of this other community and to value this other experience alongside all the other commitments that they all have. so once again, we're so proud of you. and i look forward to another medal next year. thank you. >> thank you so much.

so, now we want to hear from some of the team themselves. let's bring up the dragon boat team captains, lucas chen, jason tang, kelsey fong. come on up. [applause] >> whoa! [laughter] look at that. nice! >> hello. oh. my name is lucas chen. i'm been paddling with lincoln for the past four years. >> i'm kelsey fong. i've also been paddling with lincoln for the past four years. >> i'm jason tang. i also have been paddling for four years. shocker. >> so first off, we'd like to thank everyone here at san francisco city hall who have gathered here today to congratulate us on our recent performance at the world championships in hungary. so, thank you to our coaches, families, friends and supporters that have made it possible for us to make it this

far. going to hungary it was a onces in a lifetime experience for us. in reality, though, it wasn't just a trip for our team. it was the cumulation of four years of hard practice and ambition. setting -- settling our ever increation sights on the highest level of competition in the world. this is when the idea was seriously a twinkle in the eye of our head coach fanny chen back when we were 30-strong instead of 100 and still thinking about how to not lose at our local races. we saw the truly staggering scale of the dragonboat community from all over the world and we solidified bonds with our kindred teams, the eternal dragons. we found our own community tightened by us staying in one hotel building, learning new things about people we have known for the last four years and reaffirming that some of the things were still the same. we learned a good deal about

deceit and humility. we saw the beauty of the country and culture of hungary in a way that only a deep immersion into the country could truly afford us. when i woke up and walked around the hotel room full of my sleeping teammates, it was truly indescribable. that and our coach yelling wakey wakey, it's time for breakfast! [laughter] >> thank you, kelsey. that's for you, brian. being in dragonboat was one of my best experiences in high school, bars none. i got tons of exercise. i made great friends, and i experienced the magic firsthand of being on a team sport. before dragon boat, i would never even have imagined ever being able to cry over the outcome of a race, win or lose. but once you just get swept up into that emotion, it's something special. i met people that i will have a

connection for with a lifetime. i met inspiring leaders who, when i talk to them, i just realized they were like regular people. you and me. i found such a deep well spring of enthusiasm, determination and camaraderie that every experience from here on out will be measured against this high water mark. the coaches showed me such sacrifice. it drove me forward. each of the paddlers showed me their drive and determination to succeed which also drove me forward and as far as making friends goes, this is -- the friends that i made, and the family really, was just a treasure. without dragon boat, where would i be? would i be able to boast all these fulfilling experiences and all these cherished moments with friends? i doubt it. and i've no doubt in my mind that it's not just the 40 paddlelers who went to ccwc that have this. but every single paddler that's ever paddled had the privilege of paddling with lincoln

dragonboat. without this sport -- and it is a sport -- our lives would be robbed of so many warm greetings, so many teary good-byes and the biggest, tightest family i could ever ask for. thank you. [applause] >> wow. thank you for that. natural public speakers here. next i'd like to bring up our team manager and team coach, brian yee and fanny chen. >> brian! [cheering] [applause] >> good afternoon, everybody. you know, me being the manager, i just want to thank everybody for the opportunities we've had over here. i just want to talk about the dedication of our team and our coaches. none of us get paid. these coaches, fanny, matt, ken over there, they come out to do this in their free time five,

six days a week with these kids and they don't get a dial. they pay their own money to go to the races. they do everything for the kids. and i appreciate that from the bottom of my heart just because of the dedication that they have and just the willingness to sacrifice. the love of the sport, the love of the kids and that's something that really goes to the bottom of my heart. i just want to thank the parents, the school, all the folks that have dedicated, sponsored us a few dollars to go to this trip. cbda, the alumni association, ptsa, all the parents that give us some money. it was an expensive trip, like $100,000. so we had a great time. and i just want to thank you guys, honestly. susan, christina, greg and lily. i mean, i -- speechless. honestly, for you folks doing

everything you've done for us. and i also want to thank the mayor katie tang, carmen, all you folks for just allowing us to have this celebration. and thank you. fanny? >> oh, my god. [applause] oh, my god. hello. i'm fanny. so i just want to thank mayor breed and everyone involved for making this event possible. and for inviting us to celebrate lincoln dragonboat's recent achievements at hungary for club crew world championships. and also for welcoming the dragonboat community of the bay area in here. it truly is an honor for me to represent this team as its head coach from 2016 until recently. and it really is a privilege for me to be part of our legacy here.

i've been part of this community for almost one decade. and in the 9 1/2 years that i've been here, i've witnessed not only our team's growth, but also the advancement of dragon boat as a sport in the united states. even a few years ago, world championships wouldn't have been possible. and it makes me extremely proud to say that after facing sophomore adversity, that we are the first youth team to reach the peak of our sport and leading the way and paving the way for those of us in san francisco and for the country as well. so, yeah. it makes me very proud to say that we've accomplished something like that because a few years ago, even a year ago, it wouldn't have been possible. thank you to all of our supporters, our families, the parents t paddlers and my fellow coaches for trusting in me to guide the team forward. your commitment and your

dedication to this discipline contributes to the development of dragonboat in our country and this is tonight beginning for lincoln and i'm excited to see what the future holds for us. thank you. [applause] >> hold on, these two. you have to see what's on the back of their jackets. ok? >> oh, my god -- >> this one says "madame head coach." this one says "boss man yts. excellent. [laughter] i also just learned that lincoln high school is the first school from san francisco that's even gone to participate in this world competition. so that is incredible. and next we'll bring up the principal sherry valissi. [applause] >> good afternoon. i should be getting used to this , to have you all up here.

this is an accomplishment for the team. and once again, i'm proud of all of you, not because you guys are student-athletes are over -- a g.p.a. of over 3.5, not only do you have the athletic ability to compete in this rowing competition, but because you guys have the heart and character on and off the court of the -- sorry, the lake. [laughter] sorry. court, lake. so many sports at lincoln high school that we win, right? i can't help it. i want to brag a little bit. but i just know that with each and every competition, you guys always have this character that you're so humble and i know that will carry on in life. thanks to your coaches for providing the leadership, the patience, the dedication and most importantly to the parents. you provided so much support over the years through fund raising, through just being there for the kids and that is the most important part. thank you again. and congratulations, dragonboat

team. [applause] >> thank you. so, now the fun part. we're going to bring back mayor breed up because we have special gifts for all of you. >> i'd also like to acknowledge the fact that you have a co-ed team. you have a woman and man coach. see how when we work together we get great things done? i'm just really proud of each and every one of you. [applause] and part of what we like to do here is not only give cool certificates that look good on your wall, but give nice gifts and yo-yo chan is here from the warriors and the warriors, they have a special gift that they want to give to you. >> good afternoon. this is actually very personal for me because i went to lincoln high school. [cheering]
