in essence, the transit association and alliance for jobs would protect the tax account, as it would have protected 42 but it is unfunded, and because of the protection, those swapped funds are not protected. while prop 42 is not protected, the funds are. in addition, the public account and local tda funds are protected under this measure, and it is pretty strongly worded. i do not see any opportunity for future legislature to attach, redirect, file. this is a strongly-worded measure. supervisor mar: i know there were concerns about impact and i think there was bad blood. can you comment on the impact with transportation and hhs? >> there was a lot of outreach from sponsoring partners. they never got the closure at a broad level. some individual counties have signed on, but not very many. the protection for transportation measures is solid, as well as the local resources, and i can certainly understand why the social service responsibility in a county, that the management electives would be concerned about locking out the flexibility. but there is not much more to observe. i understa

last but not least, recommendation for a transit first policy of the city does not require one mode of transportation to financially support all costs associated with road usage. a fee charged to cyclists who violate a traffic code would likely not be a deterrent to cycling. the recommendation is the city to -- should consider creating a negative database to capture the cyclists who are cited for moving violations and to create a bicycle traffic court. the bucks led there is unanimous disagreement with the finding -- it looks like there is unanimous disagreement with the finding. this agreement requires further analysis or will not be implemented. let's take the finding first. the disagreement from the bicycle advisory committee is the automobile industry is deeply subsidized, especially if every sector of the government' -- lost revenue, to name a few. roads are paved through sales tax, gas tax, and bonds. research suggests that cyclists pay more than their fair share for infrastructure. the mayor's response to this finding is bicyclists should not be assessed an negative registration fee. such a fee could discourage ridership. supervisor chu
