so which leads us to this current program, the tpi. he mtc, metropolitan transportation system established this program to focus on two things, one was transit ridership and the other transit system productivity. they did, as most know, made explicit in the approval of this program, programs to provide fair relief to low income youth. >> supervisor wiener: i want to clarify one thing. in terms of the history at mtc. mtc rejected the specific lifeline funding for san francisco's free muni program back in the summer, correct? >> that's correct. >> supervisor wiener: and in terms of the tpi money, the free i think everyone agrees for that but i want to be very clear that mta is not required to use the money for that purpose. mta has the discretion in terms of whether to allocate all or portions of the money to free muni program, to maintenance, to new vehicles or other operational needs. >> yeah. that's absolutely correct. the wñ?ñ? mtc considered an earr proposal, late spring/early summer, to make funds available explicitly and only for y

just a quick overview of capital funding, a discussion of muni performance, and then speak about the tpirogram, which, as supervisor wiener said, one of the purposes of is to increase ridership. so looking at the big picture of our capital funding, and sorry that that's not showing up right on the screen, we have undertaken a comprehensive' quy capital planning process that starts with a 20 year unconstrained plan that lays out all of the needs for all of the assets that mta has. from that, we develop a five year capital improvement program, which is a fiscally constrained program and a a two year capital budget. the constrained budget is almost 24 billion to bring it into a state of good repair, calls for expansion and enhancement needs of the figure, nearly $6 billion, we would need every five years. when we bring that down to a five year cip program we have about $2 billion identified, outside of the central subway to meet our core needs, which are articulated at a project level detail in the two year capital budget, which the core of which is bringing the system into a state of good

reiskin himself noted during the hearing, and as was noted during the presentation of the tpi fundingat has been allocated for san francisco, it's money that can be used for different things. and the fact that the mta board of directors chooses to use this increase the accessibility of public transportation for low income youth does not mean that the mta cannot, at the same time, turn around and use some of the money for maintenance. that somehow the lack of reliability of the system of an agency that has anpvpx& $800 min budget rests solely on the fact that it's going to make public transit more accessible to low income kids, it's simply not reflective of the reality that has been true of muni for the last few years. muni, to the extent that their issues about maintenance, the reason for that is not because of the funding of these types,%f programs. to the extent thatmine is failing or hasjpn,1 to address those issues, it is not because of somehowqpihb making public transportation more accessible to poor kids in this city. i think it's simply unfair to place that responsibility on

, so it really worries me that, you know, some hotels we were able to work with them, with the assistance of tpi and they allowed the lieutenant to go give the tenants the training but they wouldn't allow us. we know we might need to be flexible in order to work with not only the land lords but the managers and the tenants and have a good environment for everyone. but that's another project that i really want to work on. >> thank you. what do you see as how functional all the departments that are involved with sro task force, how that is working out, especially with dbi and calling on enforcement and do you feel that sro task force has been able to really ensure that there's really strong response from the city or do you think there's gaps that need to be filled that, a ways to go that need to be make improvements there? what's been your experience? >> i have been exposed to the sro task force since september of last year. i don't know if it would be fair for me to give an assessment. what i can say from my experience is definitely there is some gaps, but dbi, rosemary, the coordinator at dbi, i

. * the mta, senior management and board of directors will soon be deciding how to spend this tpi money, the $6.7 million, that can be used to maintain and improve the reliability of the muni system. in my view, this is a test of muni management. it is a test about how serious this agency is about reversing the decades of severe under investment and the reliability of the system. i am also today on the bright side, introducing a resolution to approve the purchase by muni of 17 new 40-foot hybrid diesel buses. we recently approved the purchase of 45 new buses and new funding has arrived and we're able to purchase even more. so, it's great that the agency is able to move forward and increasing the number of buses that we have on our streets, and the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor wiener. mr. president, seeing no other names on the roster, that concludes roll call for introductions. >> thank you. why don't we go now to general public comment. >> the next item on the agenda is the opportunity for the public to address the board for up to two minutes, generally on items within the s

i noticed that a few of the presenters were very clear with the tpi oar each of those over 11,000 tons or making sure to restore certain areas. i would be curious to see where each of those end up in a end state specifically people come back to renew those grants. i would be curious to find out on the work that they've done. generally to some other commissioners points, we're trying to have more over site on how the money is being allocated and having that transparency would be helpful in future presentations. >> yes, commissioner wan. >> just piggy back on this comment, i understand uh important for understanding the reporting requirement. i think it will be lengthy, we asked every organization to present the outcome but it may be helpful just one impact report that will always be helpful. the other thing i want to clarify, is this grant one year or two? i noticed some have different years. i'm trying to get a different understanding. >> i think there are different directions specific to each grants. >> this information will be helpful one year and multi year. >> good comments. anythi

on that and they have made some available and there will be some available through what is called the tpi program. joel, it's the transit initiative program, which is meant to speed up the reliability of transit within the region so that's a grant that we would use the bond as the local match. so we do need to leverage, gain, a san francisco contribution for that and there are going to be dollars in the new sales tax program which we will leverage, so that is the one that is the hardest for us. on the train control system, again, because it is heavy infrastructure and related to a lot of the -- our normal formula funds, while we need dollars to leverage, that's why you see that is where the modification occurred the most. the agency is fully committed to funding that project. so one way or another in the five-year cip we will bring forward a funding plan for that project. it's just adding a higher level of risk because we have to count on exterior funding sources and timing. so for the board, it is a risk question on those categories. >> director hinze: and i know that one of the lessons

project psychiatric emergency services is 5% complete as it represents one of the latest projects to start construction in tpi was issued last year in may of 2020 for the family health center phase one is the most recent project to be issued construction in tpi earlier this year because of deviations ability to leverage as of duty foundation care funding this project was able to resume and proceed in the construction of the phased approach to match with availability of funding the southeast health center has been open to patients since july of 2022. the team is currently focusing on wrapping up one last owner request a change order which would then allow the project to issue final completion by third quarter of 2025. the community health center component tracks two comprehensive community health center projects that include both seismic retrofit and interior renovation scopes. there are the maxine hall health center in district five and castro mission health center located in district eight, maxine hall was open to patients or has been ocean patients since october 2021. castro mission has been open to patient
