. >> director heminger. >> it's almost unfair we have to say t bye to two colleagues on e same day. you will be missed. your sense of humour and i think your sense of reasonableness in occasion what's ouoccasions wheo the flights of fancy. for what it's worth, going on to your new role at the university of california, i'll just be the first person to lobby you for a cal stanford football game in the next season. [laughter] >> ok. >> director eaken. >> just worried what side of that game you would be on? [laughter] >> i just want the game. it's all you want. >> i know where i would be. >> well, i can't believe i join director heminger and i can't believe we're saying good-bye to so many colleagues in the last couple weeks, it's been a privilege serving with you and i've also enjoyed your stories and your sense of humour and one my favourite things is your seekelly endless network of contacts. it seems like every time we brought up a memorial or a plaque you said i knew that person, i go back and back with those people. it's remarkable. your experience and the perspective you brought

we'll move on to director heminger. >> thank you, madam chair, i do. and first of all, i'd like to thank jeff and dan for really excellent presentation and i think they've made a good first passat the subject. at the same time, we're just seeing it for the first time today. there is a lot of meat on those bones. i'm sure each of us probably has a few more bones we'd like to throw on the pile as well. that's why madam chair, i would like to request you schedule a board workshop on this subject. i think not only do we need to dig deeper in the areas that jeff and down have outlined but there are probably some instances where we need to look wide are as well into other areas. let me mention just three of them that come to my mind. jeff mentioned it takes a little bit of movement from transit to autos to make things really bad. it works in reverse though too. that is if you can just get five or 10% of the transportation off the road at a given time, you can dramatically increase mobility and reduce congestion. where i used to work at mtc we call it the col

. >> thank you, director heminger. >> thank you, madam chair. jeff, a question on the next wave of transit funding that might be coming from washington. my understanding is in addition to the total dollar amount being $10 million smaller the formula under credittatio considerationr allocating those funds around the country is quite a bit less favorable to the bay area. maybe in part to make up for the fact that new york didn't do too well in the first one. can you just give us a sense of where that issue is and whether we might be able to make some progress on it? >> i think it's exactly right. so, the previous formula did quite well by the bay area and new york, which has a huge share of the entire country's transit ridership did worse and so i think the the chances to make up for that problem while also helping all the rest us continue to survive in fiscal year 2021 so we've got -- we will get some money probably about 30% of our allocation will be available for the next fiscal year but that will not get us through without very deep cuts to th

the only thing i will take with director heminger of small businesses and traffic for us to recover as a city and so i think that the sales tax revenue which helps us so while it's what is actually been harder is a lot of this have decided to have their people tele commute for the rest of the year, twitter and goggle have made similar announcements and it will be devastating on our revenues in the long-term and short and long-term because of the fact we're not going to have this sales tax purchases locally so we need to balance how we get people back to work and using alternative modes of transportation and making it more attractive and easier for them to access them and as opposed to encouraging people to tele com out commute. i did want to talk about how we can do something like a workshop or spend some time drilling down on these key areas and allowing more community input. i had a question around the masks and the cleaning and one of the things we need to do and it would be helpful if we had a more extensive demo and showing of the public of how we're doing that. there's a we have

director heminger? >> briefly, i wanted to second director eaken's idea. and jeff, i think you anticipated quite a bit of her thinking in some of the earlier comments you were making. and i am a big fan of ask forgiveness, not permission, and i think you have been doing quite a bit of that the last several weeks and i think by necessity and i think we have done it very well. and to get the board engaged and if we are going to take advantage of this opportunity and another phrase is common is if you want to go far, go together, right? that is i think what we're going to need to do here. >> agreed. >> president: wonderful. director brinkman. >> thank you. it to agree with that. let's formalize the discussion and present it to the board for feedback and show the public and board of supervisors that we do intend to approach this thoughtfully and creatively. and that we have an incredible opportunity here. to echo director eaken, let's hear from the public about how they're going to feel getting back on public transportation. what other modes could they use if
