to that extent, the tjpa board also asked its own peer review from the american public transportation association in december of last year. that peer review was presented to tjpa board in may. and the results of peer review provided us with valuable recommendations, that would further strengthen the project and the tjpa agency itself. we also provided the report of the peer review to the staff to be used for this peer review. i look forward for the recommendations in july. i do want to emphasize to strengthen the tjpa, strengthen the team, and as i mentioned to you before, ever since becoming an executive director in 2016, we've been working in a transparent, cooperative way with the region, including ssta and caltrain. again thank you very much. >> chair peskin: thank you, mark. and i did not butcher your last name. with that, why don't we open it up to members of the public. james, bob, alita, peter, and that is all my speaker cards. if i did not call you and you want to testify, just line up. first speaker, please. mr. patrick. >> good morning. i'm jim patrick, patrick and company, representin

did hear a report from the american public transit association invited by the tjpa board to undertake a similar organizational assessment as we are doing here at transportation authority. i do recommend that report to you and i it is on your desk. essentially they found that the projects are very strong projects, however, the administration of these could benefit from both during the internal staffing of the tjpa, particularly in certain areas and overall capacity as well as to understand lessons learned from the phase one project to better understand how the construction management could be better administered and strengthening the oversight going forward for the downtown extension. we would be happy to ask them to come back and present perhaps next month or in the future as we conclude our report and these findings did inform the deliberations of our peer panel and they did resonate with them. the appeals court ruling that chairman chin was welcome news. we ensure the trip data can be made available for analysis and forming policy on vision zero, this is our major initiative to applease to ensure safety of the streets. we want that to be timely activities
