so this is all sort of sfmta data. projector? nope. well, it's a couple of data points coming from sfmta. the first one is the majority of people actually get to commercial corridors by transit, by foot or by bike. it's a lot more popular than cars. the data also shows that for the people that do take different transportation methods to the actual commercial corridors themselves, people spend more money if they are walking or biking or taking transit. there's two data points here, both for the commission street corridor, for the polk street corridor, as well. so again, in the collaborative, holistic approach that we need to take to solve this problem, one of the simple things we can do is just put more customers in the neighborhood and that will help the businesses. thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm leslie lenhart, union street association executive director, and i thank you very much for the opportunity to share my thoughts with you this afternoon. i agree with most of everything i have heard already from the previous speakers. i would

and proud to say we partnered with sfmta staff and we've agreed to share our data. the sharing of the data allows for staff to see where the vehicles are, to cite vehicles if they're not following the agreements. we've agreed to pay for the cost of the administration of this regulatory program. and we've worked in good faith to move existing problematic stops. we've changed our routes. we're responsive. we've got dedicated staff working day to day at chariot to address concerns. if there are folks sending you pictures, let us know immediately. we take it seriously. this is what partnership looks like. as san franciscans we have a tremendous task to address the transportation issue and we want to emphasize that chariot is going to be part of the solution. we're going to prioritize complimenting not competing with public transit. we're creating service and routes that are going to feed into the bart and muni system. we're going to serve our communities of concern. and you know, we're going to continue to train and grow as skilled labor workforce as proud partners with

we meet the requirements the sfmta put forth including providing property insurance, testing certifications and a willingness to share data which we already do in the 40-plus communities in which we operate. we were also never notified of the electric bike requirement or preference for electric bikes even after asking multiple times. as a local company, we understand the unique environment that is san francisco and the challenges that lie ahead for dockless bike sharing. we were commit to hiring locally and enacting a robust outreach campaign and would work with the community. our bikes and operations are changing the way people are moving around. wherein the last six months of 2017 we supported half a million users that have taken over a million trips over 40% of which started or ended at a mass transit showing they are being used to solve first and last mile transportation challenge and ready to support san francisco the same way. on behalf of line bike i urge to you reconsider the process and move forward with the permit -- >> when you're mike cuts off it means your allotment of time is up. >> three minutes, correct? >

data sharing requirement. that's something we heard a lot of reluctance from from other companies and jump was the first to operate e-bike. >> was there a set of criteria about what the sfmta was looking for? did it say in october when these got ahead of transportation technologies did you say to the potential world of stationless bike sharing companies, we are looking for e bikes. that is a criteria. we're looking for data sharing as a criteria. if you do not have these you'll be considered incomplete. >> yes. we developed permit application materials based on the legislation that were very detailed in what we were requiring from the operators including detailed data sharing provisions and making sure they had a plan for us that made sense to us about how they'd maintain the public right of way. one of the things we're happy that jump provided is the bicycles have integrated e locks which are shown on the slide there. they lock right to the bike rack so they don't take up the sidewalk. >> it looked like the agreement -- i have a question, supervisor cohen there's communication to all the companies and were they notified, all the other applicants? >> was there only one e-b
