3:05 pm
can you guys see my slides? perfect. thank you. we are excited to make this update. we've been working on this for a while. can't wait to have ferry service on the island. today we're going to cover service planning to date. we're going to go over our peer ferry service research that we've been conducting. preparing for electrical infrastructure over the year. in parallel with the start of tolling in 2024. it's expected to scale with the population as new housing is expected to be built. ferry service launched in 2022
3:06 pm
and coming back with an item on that hopefully at the next meeting. ridership modeling for the foreseeable future is based on the incremental build out of 8,000 units with roughly 20,000 used. you can see the number of expected riders over that time. this was used as a base line for all of our additional work on the ferry planning. weekday peak periods were used to drive this service. recreational demand on weekends and mid day are expected to be significant because people will be traveling there to get lunch and use the sport's field and ride bicycles. we have numbers on that. it will continue to contribute
3:07 pm
to our projections on the weekends and throughout the week. the numbers show the increase in seasonal changes throughout the year. while the average weekend demand is not expected to be quite as high, it's expected to be significant and recreational trips definitely contribute to this. increases towards the end of 2030, ridership is expected to have a 40% over the base line in summers which is a significant impact. based on these ridership estimates daily demands in the early years is a single small vessel making 30 to 40 minute
3:08 pm
round trips. by small we're saying around one hundred. more frequent trips will be required necessitating an additional vessel an more capacity. we have considered for 2025 include a number of different options, we'll take into account demand and the cost of operations. we're looking at four or five different versions there. the ultimate service will be frequent and will utilize electric vessels. this is our peer study that we conducted as part of our research. we looked at similar ferry service within u.s. and a broad. this provided very useful
3:09 pm
insights for operating hours and fair box recovery. the peer study indicated that multi ferry boat typology all lead to more ferry service. treasure island is very well positioned to achieve all of these things. we've started to collect analysis to determine proposed fare for the ferry. the work is still under development and we'll continue to build on that. here you can see local bus and ferry rates which show ferry fares typically just above computing bus fares. oakland ac transit. service to san francisco. the san francisco ferry fare is
3:10 pm
temporary discounted. this is set to expire next year which would make it more in line with what is typical in line with those for a bus. here are some statistics on fare box recovery from new york an washington. as can you see there's a product range of these, they go from the mid 20's to over 70%. we'll be taking this into account as we look to establish a reasonable fare on treasure island. we're also looking at other pricing components on treasure island as we look at this developing of fare. the muni fare of $2 fifty cents.
3:11 pm
the peak hour tole being estimated at five dollars a trip. as we look to establish what the ferry will be, we'll keep all of this in mind. moving on from the ferry another important portion of the work we've been doing is developing the electric infrastructure which will support the electric boat. we've been working with weda and ti cd the developer on this to plan and get that infrastructure funned and built. we're considering how ti can fit into weda's long service vision for the area. interlying service has potential to drive down the cost of operations and expand access opportunities for riders from
3:12 pm
weda. we're looking at some funding and procurement opportunities together. next steps, we will continue to refine this information into an actual ferry service plan including operations and fare rates. we will also be working on establishing more funding opportunities and hopefully completing this study by early next year. with that, i'm happy to take questions. >> thank you. appreciate it. i'm obviously very excited about this. i know people on the island are as well. when we think about the ferry and where it will go, are we
3:13 pm
thinking much about other stops and -- it says service from treasure island to the ferry building. will there be other linkages to treasure island and what does that look like and get phased in and what does that do to the frequency. i see the times and frequency is all in that case showing ferry building to treasure island. what about other locations? >> absolutely. great question. the thirty to forty minutes is the time just from treasure island to the ferry building. we're looking at interlining opportunities within san francisco and even potentially to the east bay. they are not developed enough at this point to have actual times
3:14 pm
on them. we hope to bring that on in the coming months. maybe we can come back on that after the new year, i think. >> i'm guessing that part of - i'm not guessing. what i would love to see also studied is and i know the amount of time and the route is totally different. what it looks like from jack london from treasure island. also, i know we're talking about other ferry props in the south east, mission bay -- by the time we get to 2040 i would imagine if all goes as plan with the future development builder out of our city, there's going to be a need for a lot of
3:15 pm
ferries, crisscrossing all over the city from each other. >> thank you so much for that, we appreciate the interest and guidance. weda is performing their guidance right now. the instruct san francisco loop for building ferry mission bay ti. we're interested in the east bay opportunities you mentioned as well. for logistics you're interested in this as a potential hub. charging electric ferry stops. hopefully it will be a revenue service as well. conducting our own local farey .
3:16 pm
down the line we thought that a water front study made sense. we've with discussing with supervisor walton's office. >> we're going to have some version of the ferry in a few months. which is the developer version of it. that will provide an opportunity for a lot of testing and analysis and feedback and surveys and all of that. are we using that as an opportunity to add to the study? nobody's taking a commuter ferry from treasure island, we're making a lot of assumptions about it.
3:17 pm
it will be active to the public but not for a few years. >> it's great that we'll be getting two and a half years on ridership. they have a rate of five dollars. they know that. they will be announcing that soon. i think that's in line with what we would be doing. the boat will be a little smaller and run on weekdays and weekends. it will provide us with a lot of data on what we should be doing in 2024. >> great. i'm sure we'll get updates on that. hop on that ferry very soon. all right. can we hope this to public comment, please. >> we have one speaker in the

okay. has the bridge been reestablished. >> the bridge has been reestablished. the caller is on the line. >> let's confirm the chair is here. >> i am here. >> apologies. let me get the caller on the line. >> hello. caller, your two minutes will had begin now and thank you for your patiences. >> hello, caller.
3:34 pm
3:35 pm
the queue. >> all right. public comment is closed. i don't see any questions or comments from my colleagues. this is an information item. can you please call the next item. >> transit toll and draft recommendation item. >> good morning, commissioners. assistant deputy for planning. >> rachel, i'm sorry. chair, can we ask council for advice in this situation here. >> it appears that the public is unable to hear over the conference line. members of the public who are only able to call in are not able to hear the meeting. i don't believe it's appropriate
3:36 pm
to continue with the meeting under those circumstances. i believe we need to put the meeting on hold or reschedule until the public is able to properly participate in the meeting. otherwise we're not following proper law. i believe, we need to sus spend suspendthe meeting until we gete technology working. >> that gives us no choice. the lawyer has spoken. i believe -- >> would you like to recess or reschedule. >> we have to reschedule. i apologize for this. thank you for your patience.
3:37 pm
we will find another time to do this last item. madam clerk, i believe we need to adjourn this meeting. is that the correct terminology. >> it's adjourn. >> we are going to adjourn this meeting. >> thank you chair, thank you commission. a city like no other, san francisco has been a beacon of hope, and an ally towards lgbtq
3:38 pm
equal rights. [♪♪] >> known as the gay capital of america, san francisco has been at the forefront fighting gay civil rights for decades becoming a bedrock for the historical firsts. the first city with the first openly gay bar. the first pride parade. the first city to legalize gay marriage. the first place of the iconic gay pride flag. established to help cancel policy, programses, and initiatives to support trans
3:39 pm
and lgbtq communities in san francisco. >> we've created an opportunity to have a seat at the table. where trans can be part of city government and create more civic engagement through our trans advisory committee which advises our office and the mayor's office. we've also worked to really address where there's gaps across services to see where we can address things like housing and homelessness, low income, access to small businesses and employment and education. so we really worked across the board as well as meeting overall policies. >> among the priorities, the office of transgender initiatives also works locally to track lgbtq across the
3:40 pm
country. >> especially our young trans kids and students. so we do a lot of work to make sure we're addressing and naming those anti-trans policies and doing what we can to combat them. >> trans communities often have not been included at the policy levels at really any level whether that's local government, state government. we've always had to fend for ourselves and figure out how to care for our own communities. so an office like this can really show and become a model for the country on how to really help make sure that our entire community is served by the city and that we all get opportunities to participate because, in the end, our entire community is stronger. >> the pandemic underscored many of the inequities they experienced on a daily basis. nonetheless, this health crisis also highlighted the strength in the lgbtq and trans
3:41 pm
community. >> several of our team members were deployed as part of the work at the covid command center and they did incredit able work there both in terms of navigation and shelter-in-place hotels to other team members who led equity and lgbtq inclusion work to make sure we had pop-up testing and information sites across the city as well as making sure that data collection was happening. we had statewide legislation that required that we collected information on sexual orientation and our team worked so closely with d.p.h. to make sure those questions were included at testing site but also throughout the whole network of care. part of the work i've had a privilege to be apart of was to work with o.t.i. and a community organization to work together to create a coalition that met monthly to make sure we worked together and coordinated as much as we could
3:42 pm
to lgbtq communities in the city. >> partnering with community organizations is key to the success of this office ensuring lgbtq and gender nonconforming people have access to a wide range of services and places to go where they will be respected. o.t.i.'s trans advisory committee is committed to being that voice. >> the transgender advisory counsel is a group of amazing community leaders here in san francisco. i think we all come from all walks of life, very diverse, different backgrounds, different expertises, and i think it's just an amazing group of people that have a vision to make san francisco a true liberated city for transgender folks. >> being apart of the grou
3:43 pm
allows us to provide more information on the ground. we're allowed to get. and prior to the pandemic, there's always been an issue around language barriers and education access and workforce development. now, of course, the city has been more invested in to make sure our community is thriving and making sure we are mobilizing. >> all of the supervisors along with mayor london breed know that there's still a lot to be done and like i said before, i'm just so happy to live in a city where they see trans folks and recognize us of human beings and know that we deserve to live with dignity and respect just like everybody else. >> being part of the trans initiative has been just a great privilege for me and i feel so lucky to have been able
3:44 pm
to serve for it for so far over three years. it's the only office of its kind and i think it's a big opportunity for us to show the country or the world about things we can do when we really put a focus on transgender issues and transgender communities. and when you put transgender people in leadership positions. >> thank you, claire. and i just want to say to claire farly who is the leader of the office of transgender initiatives, she has really taken that role to a whole other level and is currently a grand marshal for this year's s.f. prize. so congratulations, claire. >> my dream is to really look at where we want san francisco to be in the future. how can we have a place where we have transliberation, quality, and inclusion, and equity across san francisco? and so when i look five years from now, ten years from now, i
3:45 pm
want us to make sure that we're continuing to lead the country in being the best that we can be. not only are we working to make sure we have jobs and equal opportunity and pathways to education, employment, and advancement, but we're making sure we're taking care of our most impacted communities, our trans communities of color, trans women of color, and black trans women. and we're making sure we're addressing the barriers of the access to health care and mental health services and we're supporting our seniors who've done the work and really be able to age in place and have access to the services and resources they deserve. so there's so much more work to do, but we're really proud of the work that we've done so far.
