>> the way that the california public utilities commission has it, is that the platform height, which distance of the concrete surface above the top of the track is 8". if you have that, you don't have to provide any further setback from the face of the current platform. as you start to increase the height of that platform then you have to setback that platform at a minimum of 24-25", if you are under 48" in height and more than that if you are above that height. so it starts to counteract what the ada requirement is and the ada requirement is that the vehicle has to be within 3" of edge of platform. so you have two competing requirements. >> i understood the conflict between cpuc and ada. that was very clear to me. i guess what i am not as clear about is why, if you have to change the platform height to 25" anyway, you know, how are freight -- how are diesel and freight trains going to move through those stations when the platform is 25 minus 8? >> that is something -- >> versus 50. >> i understand. >> it seems to be the same challenge. >> when we were trying to do to plan for cal mo

it's envision that cleanpowersf can talk to the california public utilities commission to collect some of those pg & e funding for your own energy program and initiatives. the funding level if you see the line chart here there is a 25 percent of 50 percent or 100 percent. that has to do with the incentive level. it's to do with the energy efficiency programs that the program would contribute some funds and the customer themselves would also contribute some funds and the question is when you come up with an interview program like that, what percentage of funding is supplied by the program, what percentage of funding is supplied by the customer. of course the more the customer contributes, the more overall is invested. so, each individual ee program can take a look at what type of incentive level is appropriate for that. >> can i ask a question. is there a certain percentage or maximum that the cca is eligible for? >> the application would take a look at how many customers cleanpowersf has and take the total number of customers collected and that will determine the correct number per tra
