>> good morning and welcome to the san francisco county transportation authority for the meeting of november 13th, 2018

could you please call the role. [roll call] >> thank you." colleagues, can we have a motion to excuse, temporarily commissioner kim? motion made by commissioner gary is there a second -- could make motion made by commissioner he. we will take that without objection. please note that commissioner ronen has joined us.

next item, please. item two is a citizens advisory report. >> good morning mr larson. >> i am john larson. chair of the citizens advisory committee and i will be presenting the report of the october 24th citizens advisory committee meeting. beginning with item six on your agenda, the a.c. recommended adoption and amendments of the five white pp as presented. there was a specific interest and requests related to the balboa park station improvement to ensure that a comprehensive plan is shaped, both with regards to specific station area improvements, and overall pedestrian and commuter safety in the area. given that the m. line has its terminus there, the proposed geneva bart project is in the planning stages and general development is underway in the

area. they also work -- inquired about longer-term funding and planning now that funding streams in the expenditure plan appeared to be on an end horizon in the next five-year period. turning to item eight, the final freeway quarter management project funding, they emphasize the primacy of conducting a thorough equity study, given the preferred alternative of studying told, expressed or hot managed lanes. in addition, members were interested in the cost-benefit analyses that would be conducted to see if higher vehicle occupants would be achieved and whether the associated travel time benefits were justified. they also raise the issue of commuter buses using the express lanes when they are often virtually empty for one end of their trips.

following the october resolution to authorize the executive

>> i've also maintained good working relationships with a number of the staff and continued that to this day. i think joe should. >> you have 30 more seconds. >> i wanted to say, i have a couple of areas of particular interest for me. one is the linkage between development, project development

, affordable housing and access to housing. i also want to see some more serious oversight over some of the various new transportation technologies like electric bikes , scooters, skateboards and some of the ride hail companies. and finally, i just want to assure the transportation justice will be served so that all communities are equitably served in san francisco. >> thank you. are there any other potential applicants? seeing none, is a public comment on this item? seeing no public comment, public comment is closed. as is our custom. we will look to the district two commissioner. commissioner stephanie, you have the floor. >> thank you. i just want to recommend mr

levine for the assistant advisory's committee. after i was appointed supervisor , we met shortly thereafter and i was impressed with his passion for transportation and his experience and his ideas. i highly recommend him and i look forward to working with him >> he is indeed eminently qualified. is there a second for that motion? seconded by commissioner mandelman. we have a different house. so can we have a role call, please? [roll call]

>> congratulations, jury. if there is no objection, colleagues, at the request of commissioner ye, i would like to take item 11 out of order. can you please read item 11? >> up for final approval. approval of revelation -- resolution of support to encourage the board of supervisors and the media to pledge to use crash and collision and not accident and recognition of world day of remembrance, 2018. >> thank you for allowing this item to go out of order. this was heard at the vision zero committee and past out of the committee with a positive recommendation. i wonder what the big fuss over a word is. the word can be very damaging. the perception -- when people come from a pollutant --

particular world, it dictates your attitudes. i want to allow for members of the families to present on this item. amanda? >> thank you. good morning transportation authority and thank you for having me here today. my name is amanda lam and i'm a member of san francisco bay area families for safe streets and i'm here today to ask that you pass a resolution before you and also to share about world day of remembrance. families for safe streets as a group of individuals who have personally survived a traffic crash or loved ones of those who have been hurt or killed in a traffic crash. our group launched in november 2016, and we are one of eight families for safe streets chapters in north america. we are supported by a walk san francisco, and the san francisco department of public health, and

we are bay area wide. this year, as supervisor he mentioned, in honour of world day of remembrance, we are calling on elected officials such as yourselves, the media, and the public at large to pledge to replace the word " accident" with the words " clapped -- crash and collision" when referring to traffic violence. why does this matter to me? why should it matter to you? august 22nd, 2015. i have rehearsed this -- replayed the state in my mind 1,000 times, each time changing just one minute detail. i was walking home, just three blocks away when he hit me. i stepped into the crosswalk at webster and mcallister, not knowing that those would be the last steps i would take for a very long time. i saw the car out of the corner of my eye, but more importantly,

the driver of that car did not see me. as he accelerated into his left hand turn, and into my body, all i could do was brace myself against the hood of his car. in that moment, i knew that was the end for me. all i could do was pray. my family knew they were my everything. perhaps mostly, i have had to rely on witness accounts for what happens next because i was knocked unconscious. what i do remember was the ambulance and not being able to speak and the only thought that kept running through my mind was , three blocks from home. to read in a police report weeks later, and -- that my body somersaulted through the air three times, flew 30 feet before

landing on the pavement, is a feeling that i will never be able to describe to you, no matter how hard i try. what happened to me was not an accident. it was completely preventable. we know that left hand turns pose a specific threat to pedestrians. we know that they are predictable and they are therefore preventable. the word "accident" is the most commonly used descriptor of the life ending and life altering dangers that take place on city streets every day. i see this as a symptom of a much bigger problem. we, as a safety, do not understand what a serious problem traffic violence is. nor that it -- and that it affects every single one of us. you must care about this. if you are a san franciscan, if you have ever walked or biked down a city street, and

especially if you drive in san francisco. we are struggling with a complete lack of awareness and action, and that is what we are trying to change. in shifting our language from " accident" to "crash", we are calling people into this conversation and calling them into action. what is there to be done about an accident? all you can do is say, how sad, i'm so sorry that happened to you. but there is no action. all you can really do is engage your sympathy and while sympathy is important, it's not going to stop people from dying in our streets. when you talk about a crash, it invites people to actually think about this issue and to think about how dangerous our streets are and how much work we have to do. that is what we are looking to do here today.

as determined as i and the other members of families for safe streets are, we have a huge gap that needs to be bridged if we expect to reach vision zero and we know we can't do that without your support. that is why we are calling on elected officials, media, and the community at large to stop using the word "accident" and to join this movement. sympathy is important especially when you've gone through something as traumatic as the members of our group have. but your sympathy does nothing for me. it does nothing for julie and paul mitchell, their sun dylan was killed by a garbage truck. -- there son dylan was killed by a garbage truck. or of rest franklin who was killed on a thursday afternoon on a high injury corridor and it

does nothing for the people who will continue to be killed and injured on our streets. if we can stop using the word accident, we can start to take responsibility to change our dangerous streets and to change our culture that simply accepts these things as being unavoidable. i'm here today to ask you pass the resolution in front of you. which would commit the transportation authority to stop using the word accident in place of words like crash and collision. most of you have already signed this individually, and i want to take a moment to thank those of you who have done so. it really means a lot to us. and also to encourage those of you who haven't. lastly, i want to take one final opportunity to tell you, and the people of san francisco about world day of remembrance for trafficked victims, which is coming up this up -- the sunday,

november 18th. this is a global event that takes place every year to honor the millions of people who have been hurt or killed in traffic crashes, apt for us to stand in support of the family members and loved ones of these people. this sunday will be our fourth annual world day of remembrance, and we want to invite each of you to join us. if you are receiving this message, you are welcome and we need you. please come. we plan to meet at 3:00 pm, at 12th and howard, near the site of russell franklin post his death. from there, we will go on a memorial walk visiting crash sights where people have been killed and we hope to honor their memory and to raise awareness of what a serious problem this is. the memorial walk will end at 4:30 pm on the steps of city hall where we will be having a press conference and you will get to hear from other members

of the families for safe streets , in addition to supervisor yee. please join us on november 18th , and please pass this resolution before you today. thank you for your time and consideration. >> thank you. commissioner yee? commissioner cohen? >> thank you very much for your very personal testimony. i was truly touched and i believe that you have driven home the message. i think superficially, it would appear like a semantic change. like one was quibbling over the words, but i believe you articulated it and your desires in support for this resolution in a very poignant, personal way and i'm very grateful you found the strength to come into the chamber this morning to share with us, not only your story, but the stories of many others that are often considered a number, or a tally and not a

name and not a human being. i want to thank you for that. for awakening us and reminding us how important it is to remember and to recognize that we do have some power to make some changes to high-traffic corridors and that we, as a transportation authority should continue to strive to make sure streets are safe for everyone, for pedestrians as well as the drivers and bikers. i want to appreciate you for that. supervisor yee can't thank you for bringing this measure before us. i think i have given you a verbal signing on and i would like to indicate my support. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. thank you for the kind words. what are we? commissioner his. commissioner cohen. thank you, amanda, for once again articulating why we want to do this. i know it's very difficult for you and other members of the

families for safe streets to talk about your personal tragedies and so forth. and i am hoping we can make this unanimous in regards to everyone signing on. i think most of the commissioners have signed on already. at the committee meeting, i actually did a shout out to a.b.c. news. because two days prior to the community meeting, i heard them in the report talking about a collision, rather than using the word accident. it seems to me people are picking up on this and they understanding the need for this also. i hope my colleagues here can join us at the world day of remembrance. it is a touching -- i don't want to say celebration, it is a touching event for all of us that have been there. please join us.

>> thank you. commissioner fewer? >> yes, i would also like to say thank you to commissioner yee, and for you for coming and sharing your story. i actually was hit in an intersection when i was nine years old by a speeding vehicle. right at 15th and california in my district, on my way home, two blocks away from my house. my husband who was a san francisco police officer for 35 years served nine years as -- in a traffic unit with a solo motorcyclist. he had a collision that we thought he would die from. it was someone making a u-turn right in front of him. going at a fairly high speed and they had a crash. to call it an accident is actually minimizing the harm

that really happened and what happens. and then i also want to say that i actually, now that it's brought to my attention about crash and collision versus accident, i think commissioner cohen is right. it is sort of a word, but, yes, actually, it does describe it in a much more violent type of way, and also, all i could say about my husband post is crash was it was a horrible accident. it was so horrific of an accident that when you say it was a terrible crash or it collided with another car, it is much more powerful. thank you very much. i want to say thank you to my partner here, what is your name again? mental men. i'm just kidding. commissioner mandelman and i, working together with the police

chief, knowledge we do need more enforcement on our streets and beefing up our traffic unit to have more thorough motorcyclist get out there and change driving behavior. thank you for partnering with me for that. i don't know if i signed on, but i would like to verbally sign on right now. with my partner over here, commissioner cohen. >> commissioner brown? >> i want to thank amanda. i do appreciate it. i had the unfortunate incident where i was able to use crash for the first time about a month ago. it was after i shot -- signed on to this resolution and a constituent in my district was struck and killed by a car. he actually passed away.

i was with him and his family at the hospital just before they took him off life support. i was able to use the word crash it was a hit and run and i even felt like crash or collision wasn't strong enough at that time. i definitely appreciate you coming up and speaking for everyone that can't be here because they, unfortunately, did not survive the crash or collision. thank you. >> okay. so is there a motion -- i'm sorry. commissioner stefani. >> thank you. as a vice chair of the vision zero commute -- committee, i was so moved by the stories we heard at our last meeting and i wanted to thank you for coming here today, and sharing your story. i was so happy to sign a pledge immediately when you put it in front of us. i didn't say at the last meeting something that i wanted to say.

that is that words matter. this is extremely important. when situations are preventable, accident is not the appropriate word. i was thinking too when you are talking about this, we are also focused on changing the language around unintentional shootings. at the same thing. when people talk about a 4 -year-old getting hold of a gun that is not stored properly and accidentally shooting their sibling. it is not an accident. it is a preventable.

>> chair peskin: now we'll return to our regular calendar item number 5, please. >> clerk: item 5, allocated $8.7 million in sales tax funds for 11 requests with conditions and appropriation of $200,000 in tax funds for one request. this is an action item. >> chair peskin: missfort. >> good morning, commissioners from the transportation authority. thank you for your action on the previous items. i'd like to present some requests before you today for prop k funds, the first request is from caltrain for the annual member contribution from san

francisco's share to their annual capital budget. and there's a long history of offsetting the local capital match contribution so since the passage of prop k in 2003, each year we have been able to cover the capital match as well. and as you'll hear on the next item, it can fund caltrain at this particular level at $7.5 million per year, through fiscal year 2021. just highlighting that the list of projects includes renovation of the restrooms and the waiting area for caltrain station. and next item is from the ssmta for the design phase of new traffic signals at five locations throughout the city. and there are another five locations that will advance as well, concurrent through this project if general obligation bonds and some district -- fees are secured. and the construction would be

done by 2021. so this is the design phase. you will see the construction phase request next year. and next request is to leverage the bay area bridge tolls to replace 35 paratransit vans and this improves reliability and reduce maintenance costs on the program for paratransit. and last request is from the transportation authority and this is for an appropriation of funds to -- to assess the sustainability program. so when the city -- when there are new developments that are going up in the city, there's a requirement that the developers employ transportation demand management strategies and these include things like on-site amenityities and subsidizing transit passes and all in reducing the miles traveled by the residents moving into new developments.

so we'll develop a tool to see how to analyze the data and evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies. eventually the next phase of work in the next year, in the y.y.p. is to create a public web-based version of the tool. so that the public and developers can look and see how effective the strategies are and the menu -- in the toolbox for these strategies. and with that i can take any questions and as can the project managers. >> chair peskin: any questions from the members. seeing none, any public comment on this item? seeing none, no public comment. public comment is closed. and is there a motion to approve -- i'm sorry. commissioner cohen. >> commissioner cohen: i just wanted to see if you could just briefly highlight the district 10 projects.

>> just one moment. i'm looking in your packet of items on the prop k item there's an attachment that goes over the attachment one to the memorandum for folks watching at home that lists all of the projects and it lists the districts that are included in these funding requests. so all of the caltrain requests, because of the alignment of the caltrain system, they all do travel through district 10. so they are listed here as part of district 10. there's also -- one of the new signals, the funding request for new signals is also in district 10 and this is for the design phase and i'm just for folks watching at home there's also an enclosure to this packet that gives all of the details of the funding request -- so scope and budget information is shown as an enclosure. if you give me just a moment the district 10 location is at oas can dale and lumus.

>> commissioner cohen: and i think that page 36 and 37 highlight a lot of the projects in the district and i just wanted to go on record acknowledging that a significant apportion of the allocation -- proposed allocation, is coming to the district and i'm grateful. but i still think that there's a lot of work and study that needs to continue to bring us where we -- where the district, the southeast corridor, and not just district 10, but i say 6, 11 and 10 are all of in the same area. so thank you, i appreciate your presentation. >> chai>> chair peskin: come moy commissioner cohen and seconded by commissioner brown and we have the same house, so same house, same call. the item is adopted. next item, please. >> clerk: item 6, adopt 18, 2019 prop k programs with conditions, amend 162014 five

y.p.p.s and amend the prop aa strategic plan to give $2 million to the bus enhancement project and approve two prop k exchanges to backfill the improvement project shortfall for the central subway. this is an action item. >> chair peskin: miss lafort. >> good morning again. as a reminder that last month the transportation authority board adopted the first group of five y.p.p.s as i will call them in this presentation. five prioritization programs for the transportation sales tax. and each has to include a few different designate the elements as shown on your screen. as you know notice some board items that you see every month, the five y.y.p.s can be later but it's important to set the baseline now on what to expect with the projects upcoming over the next five-year period. and so group two, some of the

categories have funds running out and there's fund exchanges and a very wordy title on your agenda. so i'll get to those in just a moment. we want to balance having money available for sponsors when they need it but also evaluating the projects to make sure that we're not looking to issue debt unnecessarily. these are the projects. i have categories in the second group before you today. on the left are the transit categories and on the right are the streets and travel demand management categories and the 5ypps are in prop k, so these are the non-project categories and not the central subways or electricification categories. as a highlight, the 5ypps for the 2019 period include the reestablishment of the funding for the neighborhood transportation improvement program. again, we're recommending $7.7 million in funds and that's

$100,000 in funding plans per district and their 600,000 in capital funds for capital match per district. so $700,000 per district over that five-year period. some have not used the full funds available and there's an attachment to this memorandum that shows all of the projects that are funded to date as well as the balances. but what we are recommending is the carry forward of $300,000 of the 2014 funding. and that would allow each district to have a maximum amount of $1 million in the next period. we also have a recommendation for $650,000 over the next five years that enables t.a. and m.t.a. staff to work with your offices to scope the projects and to help to advance them. that's the same that was in the last five-year period. this category is the best with the network category. and the project that is in this category is the b.r.t., the bus

rapid transit phase 2 project and there's $30 million left for the garry project and that's also in this current fiscal year. so we expect to see a request coming through in the next several months and presenting to the board. and there's a prop aa fee for program and there was a project to fund bus stop enhancements at about just over 3,600 bus stops around the city. so it wasn't a good fit for it but prop aa transit reliability and enhancements category is a great fit, taking funds that are currently programmed to geary and instead funding this bus stop enhancement project and moving the geary project into prop k so we can fund both projects. and caltrain has seen a good

repair, i mentioned this in the last category, just like we're doing now in caltrain identifies projects and amend the 5ypps to amend them but right now they're just shown as capital match. and the c.t.a. and the city will need to work together over the upcoming years to secure another funding source other than prop k to continue to fund the capital match that we provide on an annual basis and i think that there are a few different options, and the silicon valley leadership group is looking at sales tax for the three counties for the 2020 ballot. and there's other opportunities that we will need to explore in order to meet our contribution commitment. transit enhancements category, let's see here, so i'll just point out the condition in the 20145ypp that we are recommending to continue to apply to the 20195ypps and that is part of any planned

allocation for planning our conceptual engineering funds. the first task that week performed is an analysis of the operating costs, the level of operating subsidy as well as the overall cost benefit of the project in order to allow folks to have an analysis and to inform decisionmakers as they evaluate this in transit needs for the city. and the subway expansion for the m line is with the corridor study and a lot of other projects, and the san jose m-line is coming out of a planning project for district 11. and so pleased to see these projects advancing. and this is funding the expansion vehicles as part of the light-rail vehicle or l.r.v. procurements that they are undertaking. and i'll go into the replacement part of that procurement as i describe the discretionary

program. this is, again, a replacement vehicles only. and so we have worked with a very large contract with semens to replace the -- siemens and we'll make it available on an accelerated delivery level for a first vehicle at 18 months. and shorten the period from 6 1/2 years to three years. so it would get these new vehicles on the street sooner and reduce the maintenance costs and m.t.a. would not need to be operating two different fleets concurrently. with the same vehicle and also folks on the street get to enjoy the new vehicles sooner. so financing costs, there are financing costs with making the bills of prop k and the federal funds available sooner. and there are also financing costs or, sorry, costs associated with retiring the vehicles before the end of their useful lives. so we're making the funds

available and the highest level of financing. if m.t.a. and the t.a. board decide to do this, the funds are available. if not, the category does not incur financing costs. but there's steps that need to be taken before the decisions are made and m.t.a. will be back to the c.a.c. and the board to present on this cost benefit analysis of doing this. and i wanted to note that even with the accelerated schedule there's a funding gap. and the funding gap is from $17 million as an accelerated schedule to about $56 million at a standard schedule. and so a bit of a hole to plug. but just wanted to highlight that we're -- we're, you know, hoping to get these vehicles on the street as fast as possible. next category is to support these vehicles literally and figuratively to advance some of the facility projects that would support the new and expanded fleet as you can see here. and there's a project that is a

potential project that is a very large project and so we'll see that project advance through both the facilities muni category and the discretionary category and there's discretionary funds that would be available to the three operators for muni and caltrain. if there are projects that can't be accommodated within the separator share of funding. so we have funds from the discretionary vehicles pot already for the l.r.v.s and this is the first time that we have recommended funds from the facilities and guideways. so we haven't had to tap those funds yet. but we are recommending to tap them now. and that is muni category and this is funding to requests that you'll see next month for the projects for a fund exchange for the connector right-of-way, yes, for the various states of repair

projects to maintain the trolley supportive infrastructure in the state of good repair. the 5ypp also includes two different fund exchanges that you will be acting to today to support the central subway project. and so we have had a long-standing project of improvement funds to the central subway and we have known that the funds would not be available in time to meet the cash flow needs given the end reliability of this funding source. and s.b.1 has definitely helped but we still will not have the full their 62 million owed to the project in time. and the project is nearing -- nearing completion and this assumed to be part of the baseline budget and assumed in the contingency fund. so they are expected to use the contingency at this point so we're working with m.t.a. and t.c. to get to a solution for the $62 million cash infusion issue. and so what we're recommending

is roughly a three-way split between m.t.a. and t.a. and m.t.c. whereby we would be providing $221 million as would m.t.c., and so for our portion of the funds we have a million dollars in the central subway funding category that we are bringing forward next month to fund the portion. and then there are two fund exchanges, because the guideways category in prop k is good repair projects and it's not transit expansion projects which is what this project is. and so the first exchange is with the better market area grant funds and central subway will take the obed to federal funds and better market street is through the prop k funds. and with the l-taraval we would have funds from the beginning of the fiscal year to free up $4 million in general fund prop b population base set aside to the central subway.

so our regional improvement commitment would be reduced to about $40.1 million. and we're also able to allocate our program rather of $5 million in prop k to caltrain electricification and this fulfills the member share contribution to the electricification project. the remainder of the $80 million is by application bond funds as well as prop k. and the next sweep of projects are for new and upgraded streets and there's funding for the highway terminus narrowing for the design phase that you will see next month as well. and lots coming up and then in the next five-year period there are a sweep of different projects that are advancing including the southeast muni expansion and the transit crossing project, and some other safety as well as planning projects for the city.

traffic calming, there are a lot of projects in the traffic calming program and we're recommending to reprogram funds to advance some design phase requests that would allow them -- these projects to advance to the consphruks phase in the 20 -- construction phase in the 2019 period. and in the 5ypp allows us to invest in request-based traffic calming programs and developing new programs to address safety at schools. and also for seniors and persons with disabilities. so some programs and some projects advancing for -- in the name of vision zero. and the safety category, the 5ypp, there are a lot more placeholders than 2014 for the larger problematic lines like non-project specific.

at this point there's many more named projects because m.t.a. has conquered some of the low-hanging fruit, the work is done, and it's been installed as an example, so in the 2019 5ypp you see projects on important bike corridors that are listed on this slide. and also listed on the next slide. and you have balance between the programs like 20th avenue and then the opportunity to provide opportunities for projects to advance on neighborhood streets as well. so a range of projects advancing. and the pedestrian safety, that category has funding for several projects in the 2019 period that are vision zero improvement city-wide. as well as funding the final phases of long-standing projects like full some and howard and also for -- yeah, for fullsome

and howard and other projects with geographic equity like the lake monterey area and also vision zero placeholder. in the later period to advance projects as they're identified. and programs, san francisco public works departments annual funding for the program that will be continued through the five-year period... contact 311 to request a curb ramp for folks watching at home. and there's the t.d.m. or the transportation demand management category, which allows for a range of projects to advance that are placeholders targeted at a broad range of users and project types. there's a lot of the money that is in the city-wide category for employee and tourist-based programs but there's also placeholders that could be used to put in practice the recommendation coming out of the emerging mobility studies and

also pricing studies. and also funding to make sure that the commuter benefits ordinance is up-to-date with the current tax laws. and in the transportation demand -- sorry, transportation land-use, we have funding for ththe improvement programs and s well as local match to regional and state and federal competitive grant programs for both local -- for both capital and planning phases. and so i will conclude by saying that this is the second group, you approved the first group last month of the 5ypps, and this is the second group, the companion item, which is is the strategic plan which will be presented by oscar quintanilla in the following programs. and so with that i can take any questions and there are many project managers here as well. >> chair peskin: thank you, miss lafort for that comprehensive presentation.

as we discussed offline in my office with regard to the central subway funds, it is your representation and the m.t.a.'s representation that the project is still on budget, albeit behind schedule, correct? >> that is my understanding. >> chair peskin: tilly? >> so, chairperson, i don't think that we can have the status of the budget -- >> chair peskin: why don't we have mr. ho come up? >> thank you. >> good morning, president, commissioner. my name is albert ho with central subway. so currently the central subway program is behind schedule but our budget overall $1. $1.587 billion is still on target as we move forward with trying to finish the program. >> chair peskin: that was the representation that i was looking for. commissioner yee. >> commissioner yee: thank you.

just a quick question, in regards to the purchases of these new light rail cars, i don't know how legit -- there was a senior who approached me a few days ago and she just was worried that we're buying these cars that are the bench seats and as a senior she wasn't moving real well and she said it's really, really difficult for the seniors to get up from those seats because there's nothing to hold on to. do we have any -- i don't know if that's a major issue or not -- but it seems logical that if you have nothing to hold on to as a senior it is hard to get up. so do we have any fix to that? >> sfmta staff will speak to that question. >> the m.t.a. is looking into

2018-2019 budget. we're in yief fear of the stra tiej -- year five of the strategic plan period. we have this a three-step process. in may this board adopted a baseline which told the project sponsors how much prop k funds are available by category by the fifiscal year. and we have been working with the project sponsors to identify which projects are receiving funding and making sure that the prop k funds could be available to support the project delivery. and item before you today is the -- actually, the second part of step three and i presented the first part which were the 5ypps. and in this step we have incorporated programming and reimbursement schedules in the 5ypps and updated our debt assumptions on this programming, and we have adoption of the strategic plan together with the 5ypps will guide the implementation of the plan.

there's a lot of technical details that go into the strategic plan so i'll focus on the highlights. the strategic plan has three components, the prop k policy guide, and day-to-day administration of the program, and they were adopted in may 2018 and they're basically the same as previous updates since we have had the opportunity to refine them over the past updates. the policies reflect the strategic plan guiding principles which are to optimize the leveraging of sales tax fund to have cost-effective project delivery and to maximize the cost effectiveness of the financing. and the second component of this strategic plan are the sales tax revenues. sorry. and as we -- as some of you might remember from the adoption of the baseline we are projecting overall revenues to come in about 1% under what we assumed in 2014. and we're slightly more conservative in the near term, however, in the long term we expect it to be in line with historic averages.

and the third component are the expenexpenditures and first we e net out the operating costs and these are a separate revenues and they taper off by the end of the program. and the project expenses and the project related financing. and we have a capital reserve which we set aside the 10% much the annual funds available for a project in the last year of the sales tax revenue. and this is in case revenues are lower than anticipated or interest rates are really high. we gradually reduce closer to the end of the expenditure plan. and at the core of this strategic plan is making sure that funds are available when they're needed. in this chart we compare 2014, which is that green line and what actually happened since the 2014 update. and here you can see the programming and allocations. you can see the project sponsors are a little too optimistic and as allocations came in at a

slower pace than anticipated and we have seen this trend in previous updates as well. as you have heard in the 5ypp, the presentation sponsors are expecting to request most of these delayed projects in the next couple years. (please stand by).
