be there for each other and that's what we're fighting for. thank you for staying the entire time, chancellor. when we have department heads here and we have a hearing, they leave way before public comment for you to listen to everybody and i think it's important and i know you're exited t exit commig with them. thank you to all.

we need a motion and second to file this hearing. >> and this hearing is filed and our meeting is adjourned. thank you.

good morning and welcome to the san francisco county transportation authority for ma. our clerk is mr. alberto. can you please call the roll. (roll call). we have a quorum. >> next item please. >> clerk: chair report. this is an information item. >> this month we saw another round of coverage in the media of our tnc research after a

paper by the university of kentucky was published in the journal of science advances. this data continues to inform our planning and policy work to help us target where to direct revenues for traffic safety and transit improvement should the voters pass the tnc congestion measure that i'm introducing today with mayor breed for the november ballot. yesterday, i was quite pleased to see reporting in the "san francisco examiner" that a california appeals court affirmed a lower court's ruling that uber must comply with the city attorney subpoena of trip data. they agreed they must turn over illegal parking, disabled access to driver pay and extent of excessive driving. lyfl has agreed to comply last

year. while the tnc provide the data to the california public utility commission, it is unclear what they do with it. the data is still not available to the public or local governments. we liable data is extremely important as this information can help the city effectively manage traffic, potential collision points and equitable access for riders. i appreciate the city attorney's office for leadership in seeking this data. our staff for their work on this and the courts for upholding the city's right to obtain this critical information. it is beyond time for the state to update outdated regulations and ensure the city and public can manage congestion. california public utilities commission i hope you are listing. another area is my work with supervisor wal walton regarding

caltrain governance. we will vote on a resolution later today at the board of supervisors. i wanted to hear from the members of the public following the caltrain businessman which we support. we recognize faster caltrain from santa clara and san mateo and our county and acknowledges the clear coordination to meet ridership demand and support blended high-speed rail plans including the extension to the transbay transit center. as we consider ways to strengthen the agency with revenues discussed in the form of sales tax or measure it is important to establish the principal of dedicated caltrain agency with capacity to undertake expansion with the railroad and coordinate and

manage the substantial assets including land assets. we look forward to collaborating to do this over the coming months to next year. with that i conclude my comments. any public comment on the chair's report. seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner row ronan. >> i want to thank you for your incredible work on what you are introducing today. i think it was brilliantly handled and i appreciate you for that and would love to co-sponsor to be part of that. >> i would love to have all of you co-sponsor with me and mayor breed. i see supervisors mandelman, brown, haney, row nan, fewer and anybody else that wants on let me know before 2:00 this afternoon. >> commissioner ronan: i'm not done. sorry. that was just the beginning.

both supervisor fewer and i sent our staff to washington, d.c. from april 27 to the 30th to participate in the people's action convention. it was a convening over a thousand advocates from across the country to share information and strategies to address pressing issues including climate change and be justice. our staff and here is the connection to my opening comment. our staff participated in round table discussions how communities are fighting back against private public transit. they shared how local transit systems have begun to partner with ride-sharing companies to perform public functions including ride sharing for seniors and those with disabilities. they shared concerns about this trend towards privatization and

discussed pushing back locally my staff participated in the direct action at uber headquarters in dw demanding better working conditions and wages for uber drivers as a global effort to bring visibility to the low paid ride share workers. it is important to face challenges with ride sharing industry and i'm glad our staff was able to go and hear from the legislatures and community advocates. >> chair peskin: thank you, commissioner ronan. >> commissioner fewer: thank you, i agree. i think this trip was beneficial to both offices to connect with advocates and legislators working on policy issues on transit and energy and environment as we grapple with the challenges. staff learned from legislators and community members to build

out division for a green new deal to benefit public transit at the municipal level, giving ongoing financing challenges that we are certainly sympathetic to in san francisco. they learned about protections for industry workers and made lasting connections with other legislators and policy workers to advance the critical issues at local and state level. i think it was a positive trip and we appreciate the support of the ta to access these kinds of important spaces. thank you. >> chair peskin: thank you. seeing no additional comments from members, next item please. >> clerk: executive directors report item three. >> i have an update at the state level. high-speed rail project hit another obstacle. the federal government through

the federal railroad administration are terminating $929 million grant for the project. this is not surprising. unfortunate but not surprising. this has been happening since the early part of the year. the governor did respond the administration's action they believe is illegal. the state would vigorously defend the grant in court. it has been appropriated by congress. we anticipate it will take time to be resolved. we are continuing to work on planning and the review work with high-speed rail and partners with the city and state as well as making sure elektrification is moving ahead. this will affect further enhancements to the blended corridor. i had the honor of sitting in for supervisor haney at the

recent meeting of the transbay joint powers authority. we did hear a report from the american public transit association invited by the tjpa board to undertake a similar organizational assessment as we are doing here at transportation authority. i do recommend that report to you and i it is on your desk. essentially they found that the projects are very strong projects, however, the administration of these could benefit from both during the internal staffing of the tjpa, particularly in certain areas and overall capacity as well as to understand lessons learned from the phase one project to better understand how the construction management could be better administered and strengthening the oversight going forward for the downtown extension.

we would be happy to ask them to come back and present perhaps next month or in the future as we conclude our report and these findings did inform the deliberations of our peer panel and they did resonate with them. the appeals court ruling that chairman chin was welcome news. we ensure the trip data can be made available for analysis and forming policy on vision zero, this is our major initiative to applease to ensure safety of the streets. we want that to be timely activities that we can bring forward to you. we will hopefully report back in the next month or two about the implications of the new ruling. on vision zero, mayor breed called for 20 miles of protected bike lanes for two years. we want to commit staff to

helping achieve that goal. we were set to program over $11 million specifically for bite network improvements over the next five years over prop k. as you will hear this morning, the connect sf program is set to advance the bike net work through the streets and freeways planning effort. turning to the local level. i want to mention updates on the traffic program. the coordinator hiring is underway to support safe routes to school as well, we have traffic calming residential program taking applications from neighborhoods and those are due on june 28th. there is time to get the application in if you would like to apply for improvements on your streets. finally, the construction management association of america are doing a joint night for those interested in

contracting opportunities may 22 and at 5:30 p.m. at the san francisco war memorial greenroom. we will be there with 20 other agencies to ensure there is good information on the procurements happening in the region. thank you. >> chair peskin: any questions for our executive director or public comment on the item? public comment is closed. mr. clerk please read consent agenda. >> clerk: five to seven were approved and are for final approval. they are routine. staff is not planning to present. it will present if desired. if any member objects they may be removed and presented separately. >> chair peskin: any public comment? seeing none it is closed. a roll call please on the consent agenda. >> could we get pay motion?

>> motion by commissioner fewer, and commissioner yee. (roll call). >> clerk: we have final approval. >> chair peskin: next item please. >> clerk: authorize executive director to execute agreements and documents required for utilities and right-of-way property acquisition for yerba buena island south gate road realignment improvements project including offers to purchase for an aggregate amount not to

exceed $5,534,760 and services agreement all with the united states coast guard and utility agreements with various providers in paamount not to exceed $750,000. >> this is phase two for south gate road realignment project. i want to direct you to the screen that shows the eastbound off-ramp that has been closed for 15 years. the goal is to reopen the off-ramp and realign south gate road from left to right. south gate road from the western slope will come into the interchange area, go underneath the off-ramp. the movements are grade separated. it is a much safer path for cars and bicycles and pedestrians in that regard. the project itself just as a

reminder, we are finally at a pint for final approve els on the design and right away working with all entities, stick leo o particularly coast guard. they have worked with us through complicated right-of-way negotiations and agreements that, frankly, in a lot of respects are allowing us to move forward to the construction schedule this fall. we plan to advertise the project july, award by october, start construction in the fall and complete by the spring of 2021. we have been working actively with caltrans to add more the federal high bridge program and proposition 1b in terms of funding. it is a $51 million project we are right now ready to pursue the final agreements that we need in front of you.

let's talk about the right-of-way applications. it shows quarters 8 and 9 in blue. that, in essence, we need for the construction project. other parcels of 1 are needed. what is important to recognize not only are we buying right-of-way for the project that we are going to construct we are preserving the right-of-way for future bike path on western side of the island as well as forest ready tour to allow access to and from the coast guard facilities. all parcels will be transferred to tida or caltrans. we need them to go ahead to have possession and use and transfer these either during the construction for the tida parcels and at the end with caltrans in the parcel in red.

the recommendation is to authorize executive director to execute the service agreement. they are standard u.s. coast guard agreements we worked details out with them and prepare ourselves for future transfer of right-of-way to caltrans and tida. looking for executions for the deeds here. we have additional utility agreements. we want to make sure we put in the appropriate conduits and infrastructure for future development of the island. that concludes my presentation. thank you. >> thank you chair for the report. i think i know the answer to this question. to get us ready for the future. is there a jobs plan in place in terms of the work force needed across the trades and types of subs for construction as we get ready for construction? >> yes, we are working with that

right now. we will implement a jobs program in that regard. we just met with one treasure island in particular, and we will work towards executing a jobs program in that regard. we have federal fundings. we have to work out the details so we are not in violation of the federal law? >> is that something to send forward so we can see what trades are needed? >> definitely. >> chair peskin: any other questions from members? any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. is there a motion to move item 8 made by commissioner walton, seconded by yee. same house, same call. item is passed on first reading. next item please. >> clerk: item 9. horizon and plan bay area 2050

update. this is an information item. >> excuse me while i get the presentation up. thank you, chair peskin, commissioners. i am a senior transportation planner in the transportation authority to give you a brief update on the ongoing other sidon process we are engage -- horizon process and to 2050 which we are kicking off later this year. we will go through the different components and talk what this is and why it is important to san francisco and get into our process of working with local stakeholders, partner agencies

and you our board based on the san francisco priorities. horizon is this big picture unconstrained planning exercise that mtc and the staff are working on right now to assess how various strategies, policies and investments can help move the region in the right direction no matter what kind of future the region faces. horizon is staff driven with almost no opportunities at the commission level for feedback and no action on the part of this board as well. we have been provided updates through director chang's reports to you and presentations to the cac. horizon's outputs will inform the ultimate plan bay area which is the region's required regional transportation plan and sustainability community strategy. at the beginning of the process

in 2018, mtc staff did outreach round throughout the entire bay area to inform the guiding principals, which are the aspirations of the bay level at a very high level. they are using these to assess how various strategies and policies identified in these white papers in the middle and how various transportation investments. they are looking at-large transportation investments to improve the future no matter what it looks like. they created three divergent futures with different national policies baked into these, environmental conditions and various levels of technological advancement meant to represent the what ifs the bay area is facing. the idea is the strategies and investments that perform well in each of these scenarios would be those recommended for the

ultimate planned bay area. horizon is nearing completion this summer and planned area will kickoff immediately after the start of the fall. what is it and why is it important? this is the required update to the regional transportation plan and community strategy. the previous area was adopted in 17 that is 2040. this is equivalent to the county wide transportation plan that looking at all of the different components at work in this case in the bay area and how we fund it with all sorts of revenue from federal government to local to our transit fares. while horizon was unconstrained planned area has the three components here. the big one is it has to

accommodate the projected population growth in the bay area within the confines of the bay area. plan bay area has transportation investment strategies. it has to be fiscally constrained package. they will lay out the amount of funding the region can expect to receive over the next 30 years and what it can be investing in. so the transportation projects within plan bay area have to fit within that fiscally constrained package. as cma for san francisco we are responsible for coordinating the san francisco project submissions. we are working with the project sponsor and agency partners to identify the projects we would like to see in plan bay area. the first step was identifying tans formative projects.

that was part of horizon process looking at major transportation investments that were identified in the previous plan such as gary brt, better market street, downtown caltrain extension. those are updated from plan bay area and are in mtc hands. we are identifying regionally significant projects, these are smaller dollar amount projects that still have capacity change to various transportation systems. we are are working with m.t.a., port to identify the projects. ongoing mtc reached out to the transit agencies to identify state of good repair needs to make sure we keep the fleets and local streets and roads up to good repair. later this we will identify program categories of investments. this is everything that isn't

the big dollar amount projects. all of those bicycle and pedestrian projects important to safety and communities are included in the programmatic categories, everything with a safety component is included. we have a list coming up. i will wait for that. in order to inform what we put into mtc's hands for plan bay area we brought you a draft list of goals for san francisco. from the previous plan where we identified the goals for san francisco with the board we managed to get a few wins in the plan. it prioritizes funding for operation and maintenance of the existing system which is crucial. it emphasized core capacity transit investments. these are improving the existing

systems that we have. we also had a number of projects submitted that were high performing in the project performance assessment that mtc conducting. treasure island congestion pricing including the management program the top score as well as downtown congestion and cal tran. just to give you more examples the named project on the left from the previous plans are the big project. then we have a number of categories that encompass the other projects in the city including long-range rail work, streetscape improvements. our next steps we are part of a shared public feedback process

with connect sf which i won't get into too much. that will be after me. we are also working with our stakeholders and presenting to you a draft set of goals for san francisco for this entire process. we would like to finalize those goals and have this board approve them in the july meeting, and we are working with our project sponsor partners on the list of regionally significant projects for this planning process and we will bring that to you in july for approval. with that there is a couple of websites on this slide if you or your staff are interested in learning more, and i can take any questions. >> chair peskin: commissioner yee.

>> supervisor yee: i am looking at some handouts and i want to make sure i am looking at the right ones. i don't know if it is part of the next presentation, but i am looking at maps for the next presentation. it might not be relevant to you, and on one of the maps it shows the job and living density. i can see that outside of the core downtown area, one of the areas that is going to have high density, the darkest blue, is in

the west, southwest, and in anticipating that population growth, i don't see any projects that indicate that there is any alleviation for the transportation needs force that area. am i making sense? >> absolutely. it is totally understandable. camille is here for the map. the list of projects is in development right now, but i can tell you the park improvements the commitment of the developer, the project we are working on updating to make sure it is accurately represented in the plan. during the transformative project take page that was -- face was submitted last year as transformative. in addition to that, within the

programmatic categories we anticipate reliability across the city as well as moving forward is going to be included. >> when you talk about the m line. are you talking about the sort of band-aid approach of moving it over a little bit and not increasing capacity or are we talking about the concept of actually increasing the capacity for trains, which means you have to go underneath? >> that's right. that is the project submitted which is the full underground. i don't be have all of the project details in front of me right now, but that was submitted. >> i want to make sure we are thinking about that.

>> it is going from 4,000 to 12,000. they are talking about 2050 which could be an increase 65,000 more people. i am a little concerned about whether or not an infrastructure to support the 30 or 40,000 more people out there. >> i will add for this process, we are trying to make sure that we have space within the regional planning process to pursue the process with the local flanking. that -- planning. connect sf is looking at the maps where population and employment are going to be. i am not going to get into that camille can do a better job.

>> thank you. >> it is a lot of planning. >> chair peskin: commissioner fewer. >> commissioner fewer: i might be guilty of the same thing. i am thinking you have a plan to have some underground capacity out to the west side on the gary corridor line, is that correct. >> can you repeat that? >> i assume we have plans for undergrounding along the gary corridor out to the west side? >> i do think that will be addressed in the connect sf planning process. what we are doing is making sure that we have enough funding identified in the regional process to advance the next stages of development for the city's future priorities for rail. >> i wanted to make sure we have enough funding to include that particular study of undergrounding out to the west side. i am hearing behind me, yes.

>> commissioner fewer the region did submit a rail mega project, the second transbay tube connected to west side rail extension that represented the west side rail. that is what the region submitted with our support in san francisco. >> thank you very much. >> chair peskin: any other questions from members? any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you for the presentation. next item. >> clerk: item connect sf statement of needs. this is an information item.

>> good morning, commissioners, i am camille, transportation planner at the transportation authority. i am here to talk about the connect sf statement of needs.

as michelle told you about the area. i will speak to how we are developing our local priorities that feed to the regional plan. joining me in the audience today are some of our colleagues from key partner agencies and leads of the project. we have linda of the transportation authority as well as doug johnson from the planning department and the sf m.t.a. connect sf strives to collaborate, coordinate and streamline long-range transportation planning across the city agencies to identify major transportation investments and policies. it factors in land use to plan transportation as the two are related and interdependent. in the spring of 2018, we

completed the first phase of work. this included developing a vision what the city will be like in 50 years. this was an extensive outreach with 5,000 individuals and 60 organizations contributed the thoughts on the future of san francisco as a place to live, work and place. the vision is one where san francisco is a growing, diverse and equitable city and there is a multitude of transportation options available and affordable to all. these are the five goals that shape the connect sf vision and guide the city's long-range transportation work moving forward. the next step after vision is to understand needs and challenges for the future given our current transportation system and the projects we have planned. today's presentation focus on the statement of needs which is

the beginning of the san francisco transportation plan or sftp, county wide plan. the challenges we spell out today we will develop project concept recommendations for our transit streets and freeway networks. in the final phase of connect sf, the sftp analyzes all project concepts for streets and transit including all modes and operators and develops a fisca fiscally constrained investment strategy with policy recommendations. priorities for transit streets and be freeways will be formalized as policies in the transportation element of the general plan. to have a base line understanding of how san francisco's transportation system is performing today and in the future we ask the question does this performance meet the goals and aspirations

set out by the vision? if it doesn't, what are the gaps or areas where we need to do better to reach that vision? we look at metrics in 2015 as the baseline year to measure conditions today and 2050 as the future year. san francisco will continue to grow because it is and will be an attractive place to live and work. our growth projections are based on development capacity including adopted plans and policies like accessory dwelling units, pdr programs, state density bonuses, home-sf, pipeline, soft site as well as major large developments. employment is expected to grow at historical rates at 5,000 jobs annually and population is to grow faster than it has

historically. while in the future 35 years we see growth of 10,000 people annually. where will this projected growth go? supervisor alluded to southwest and this map shows the projected change where people live and work from 2015 until 2050. the vast majority of plan will oker in -- curin the eastern part of the city and the major developments and plan areas are shown here. for the year 2050, we took the transportation network assumptions from plan bay area 2040 and the project in that includes gary, bus rapid transit, central subway. downtown extension, more bart service through the san

francisco core as well as express lanes on 101 and 280. through connect sf we will identify new concepts based on our needs to help us assess how we are doing. we identified metrics corresponding to the goals and objectives in the slides that follow we highlight a sub set of metrics summariesing the findings from the statements of needs. these reflect a typical weekday in san francisco. i will start off with good news first. more jobs are accessible to san francisco residents in 2050. and there is a greatter increase in the number of jobs accessible by transit than by auto. this tells us that san francisco and other cities are putting jobs closer to transit and/or planned transit improvements are having a positive effect on

accessibility. you can still get to a lot more jobs by car in 2050. they tend to have a longer commute as shown by the darkest red portions of the map. while it is good that average commute times are changing little with the growth we are expected to see the pink shows commutes in southern neighborhoods are growing longer. the green tells us the commutes in soma and the eastern neighborhoods are getting shorter. this is a metric where we see uneven outcomes across the city. in addition to city wide analysis we wanted to look at results with an equity lens.

we looked at how transportation network is working for communities of concern in the future. communities of concern are mtc's way of capturing transit dependent populations. people who live in areas identified as areas of concern have shorter commute times. in the future we see the commute times for those cocs are getting longer and the share of cocs with access to high-quality transit declines. in addition we also see that everyone is increasing their jobs access but communities of concern ar are not seeing as lae of an increase as areas that are noncocs.

now let's take a look at how people get around the city. the city has a goal of having 80% trips by sustainable modes by the year 2030. according to the model, overall mode share doesn't change drastically. this shows that we are not going to get close to meeting this goal. what the model says is that trips by all modes are increasing due to the increase in the number of people in jobs. the greatest absolute increase in trips is on transit, which is a good thing. trips using auto modes increases more than trips using sustainable modes. the greatest relative increase in trips are by tncs. when we look at the neighborhood level we found we are losing ground in neighborhoods with the

highest sustainable mode usage. continuing on the topic of driving, we know that san francisco already has low personal miles driven per capita. that helping the bay area achieve its reduction goals by the year 2050. while personable miles driven is still lower in san francisco than the rest of the region, we see this increasing while it drops significantly for the bay area overall. since the personal miles driven are low it is challenging for san francisco to do better in the future. of concern is that we are losing ground in neighborhoods that have typically been doing the best and have the lowest personal miles driven per capita as shown by dark red on the bars. we are doing better in neighborhoods with the highest

personal miles driven per capita as represented by the white portion of the bars. this slide represents miles driven and greenhouse gas emissions for all cars driving in san francisco whether they are residents or not. overall driving is projected to increase, emissions are anticipated to fall. this is primarily due to improvements in technological advancements and fuel efficiencies. the see has ambitious goals for eliminating emissions that we will not meet. it is no surprise that congestion is to get worse in the future. roadway speeds drop during peaks and midday. this shows the change in speed for all roadways in san francisco including freeways. we see the greatest speedy lines in neighborhoods experiencing the greatest growth on and also

on the freeways. transit is also getting more crowded despite the planned service and capacity increases mentioned earlier. the share of passenger hours on muni that are crowded increases from 18% to 23%. when we look at muni service by rail or bus, we find buses are the workhorses of the system with more than double the passenger hours of rail. muni crowded is worse on muni rail than bus. the share of passenger hours on muni rail that are crowded increases from 24 to 32%. the transit crowding continues to persist for access to downtown. it is expected to be pronounced for the market mission, central subway and transbay corridors.

in summary we see plan growth increasing housing and jobs. we also know the gap between jobs accessed by transit versus car is closing with residents gaining a significant increase in jobs they can access by transit. it is good that average commute times are not changing city wide, growth is uneven across different parts of the city. through the statement of needs, we recognize the planned investments won't get us where we want to buy by 2050. we see uneven outcomes for communities of concern, failure to advance toward sustainability goals and continued unpleasant experience for drivers and transit riders. this means that we are seeing challenges to equity, environmental sustainability and economic vitality. we have just shared a snip it what will be in the full statement of needs report

released at the end of the summer. there are some areas of study we currently do not model in the future such a fatal collisions and injuries on the industry or demographics. we can track those for today and historically, and we have added that to the collection of present day data to present in the statement of needs. this includes the progress towards vision zero and maintenance wand re-- and repair needs. the statement of needs raises many concerns for the future. in the next stage of this phase, we will be going into the transit corridor study and streets and freeway studies where we will identify major project concepts for new investments and policies that will seek to address the challenges we describe today. as michelle mentioned through

connect sf we will identify the san francisco priorities that will feed into plan bay area. it is important that these priorities be included from the regional plan to ensure eligibility for state and federal funding. we have a number of ways to get engaged in connect sf. we have just released a number of interactive maps with some of the data presented today including the growth data, jobs accessibility. transit crowding and miles drive -- driven and in the fall we will have workshops on the transit corridor study and streets and freeway study. we are also offering to provide presentations to the groups we engage previously and welcome suggestions for our groups to reach out to.

thank you for your time this morning. i will take questions. >> chair peskin: are there any questions? any public comment on this item? seeing none. thank you for the very thorough presentation. i know some of us have an event to attend a at 11:00 which you e all welcome to attend. we will close public comment. any introduction of new items? any general public comment seeing none. we are adjourned.

>> welcome to the committee meeting of the treasure island mobility management agency. mr. clerk, please call the roll. [roll call] >> we have a quorum. >> please read the consent agenda. >> item two and three compromise the consent calendar. they're considered routine, staff is not planning to present on these items but are prepared to present. if a member of objects, any items maybe removed and considered separately. >> are there any questions or collins his comments from colleagues on the consent items agenda? seeing then, any public comment? colleagues, can we have aio
