i'm trying to put this to those of the m.t.a. so when the streetcars come back, do not continue this practice of the switchbacks. we pay our share, full fare to go all the way to the destination. they should not be kicked off at 19th avenue or sunset boulevard. the streetcar should go to the end. please do something about that. furthermore, i like to draw your attention, that all of this bus rapid transit that's implemented for who knows who's making decisions to give these multibillion dollar contracts, busy work to contractors we don't know who they are friends of. this is putting people with disabilities lives in extreme danger when you take the muni and you put it in the middle of a busy road that is a highway leading to goldengate bridge, for example. you think that people who are hurrying home are going to want to stop for a person who fallen out of their wheelchair in the middle of the street? i have three times in my life picked up a person who has fallen into the gutter at an intersection and all three times that i did, i

the ask. i would like m.t.a. staff to pay close attention and provide an update on the clarification, on the implementation. how that will affect us locally and as an agency. continue to question the g.h.g., the greenhouse gas emission that the agency is expecting, and verifying, i guess, trying to help me understand how the work-from-home policy is appropriately offsetting the g.h.g. emission increases. and then, also to just help us advocate for the regional authority to understand the premise of benefits of fostering urban centers of san francisco, and how we may differ and need different policies than, let's say a more rural area. and i think we may support reduction in emissions, but just make sure that the agencies are being thoughtful in protecting the environment of urban centers and not penalizing cities like us. i think that's clear. i want staff to be coming back to us and helping us track this and understand how this plan will shape us as a transportation agency, whether it may or may not impact our ca

as part of covid, the board worked closely with the m.t.a. on different road closures, including goldengate park, both j.f.k. and m.l.k., and twin peaks has been closed. we've been receiving consistent public feedback from them and from people, and we're working with the m.t.a. and other city departments to create a survey about twin peaks and look for alternatives that provide access while still making that area available for recreation. and the survey can be found at sfmta.org/projects. and the annual conference is going to be virtual, and it is taking place october 27th and 29th. it is taking all of the best elements of an in-person conference, including education sessions, keynote speakers and exhibiteds exhibiters and pg them in a unique online program. thank you very much. that concludes our report. >> chairwoman: item 3, we're now in public comments. please dial star 3 for comment on general manager's report only. >> no hands raised. >> chairwoman: okay. thank you. public comment is closed. i also wanted to just make note on the record

we have a chance here of the m.t.a. to add our grace to mayor breed's and the mayor of san jose, to the business and racial and equity justice community who are all aligned on this strategy that it doesn't make sense for all of the reasons that you expressed. i hope that we can unanimously approve this and start working on alternative strategies that will be much more effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions without the impact, negative impacts potentially to greenhouse gas emissions but also to the economy and equity that this poorly conceived strategy brings us. i hope we can support this. i am happy to answer any questions. >> thank you, commissioner. seeing no other members of the m.t.a. any members of the public to comment on item 9? >> yes, there are three quallers. >> first speaker, please. >> two minutes begins now. >> hello, caller. we will move to the next caller. >> good morning. i am chris peterson in district 7. i enthusiastically support this resolution. it is excellent on how the bay area should addr

i know this was the first body to take that action. you put m.t.a. in the driver's seat and made the effort to achieve vision zero. when we committed to that pledge, we said we were going to get to zero by a specific date. this was an important pledge when we made it and remains the energizing principle. it's why we come to work in the morning. honestly, it's one of the reasons i came to san francisco six years ago because i saw how committed people were on vision zero. over the past six years we've implemented a huge number of improvements to our streets. we've worked with engineering and design and done things we're proud of, and yet we see far too many fatalities on our streets. we are not on a trend line that suggests we're going to get to zero in 2024. today is not about celebrating what we've accomplished, but about asking the hard questions on what it will take to get to zero. we're going to go through two presentations. a former colleague who now runs the vision zero network. it's the nationwide network of cities that have committed to vision

i'm from the department of the environment and along with m.t.a. and p.u.c., we're tasked with achieving the commitment to zero emissions transportation by 2040. that won't happen until we expand those modes. there is not a lot of data out there and what we found is that 30% to 50% of electric bike trips replace car trips. we were super excited and impressed with this study because it provides transportation insight from the contractor's point of view. we think the study is important and we want to share with with our colleagues grappling with the same issues. as brian mentioned and i don't want to be too specific yet. we are in consultation with m.t.a. to develop a rebate pilot program focused on food delivery workers. that would provide e-bikes to the participants for low or no cost, collect transportation data and data about the workers and working conditions. scope and typing, they depend on the funding and the partnerships we can attract early in the process. i don't want to say too much. stay tuned and follow up with me with specific questions

and it's something that we have been doing more recently which is imparting with our colleagues at the m.t.aseeing businesses being able to operate in the white -- right of way. there are some areas in the city where they are occupying the entire street. we are hoping that all of these efforts are going a long way to make the city bounce back. >> absolutely. it's great to see the city is coming up with ideas that will keep people safe and let some of our businesses partially reopen. >> absolutely. >> i understand that most workers are also categorized as essential workers, but at the moment, a lot of our buildings are still closed. how has your staff been redeployed to help out during the pandemic? >> there are 100 people assigned as emergency operations centres. they have worked on everything ranging from finance and logistics to accounting, to a communications. we have also had some of our staff been reassigned where we had people who were working within the bureau and we had them redeployed within the street cleaning groups. we are trying to solve problems as best we can. >> some city int

there's another group that's working in the city on transportation and response and the m.t.a. is already thinking about recovery. we had jeff tumlin present to us, but this body didn't tackle that, like, the downtown can't recover and our city as a whole can't recover unless people feel safe using transit. so i just wanted to give something on youth and families and the community hubs that you've probably read about. like, there's a whole -- we've heard and read about that information, but there is a whole effort there on homelessness and essential government function. like, there's a lot of groups. i love the report, too, but i think it's a piece of the pie, and i think it's really important that our city stakeholders, you know, pay attention in the months ahead and look to see how the mayor and our board weave together those various facets of recovery planning, of which this is one component. there are so many, and to see how -- to look that balls like that don't get dropped. i wouldn't expect that they would. that's one piece of it to see on which exactly pieces get picked u

yeah i found that out on twitter this morning or i actually asked the m.t.a. f they were going to we do not have subways running now between one in 5 and. 1 am and 5 am we have to be at the polls at 5 am and while 15000 poll workers in new york city they they do try to assign you the proximity to your home but there's another 10000 that are going to have to go someplace other in the borough so yeah i'm very i'm very concerned about the subways not running because not everybody can afford to take you know a car service not everybody can afford to pay for that and i'm very concerned that that could actually result not only into lays an opening we're we're choir to get to the polls at $5.00 and voting starts 6 and with a whole bunch of you know 1st time coworkers i expect that that. process of opening the polls is going to be super clunky and so i'm very concerned in 2 ways and then i'm also concerned that people just poll workers will not be able to get to the polls where they're supposed to be working final thought from you hide in the sort of goes back to your

one example i'll state, the current head of m.t.a. when a private citizen suggested let's cut off the j-line at market and church. as a private citizen, prior to covid, now that seems to be like a miraculous response to save time for people wanting to go downtown. what's ignored this means people with disability get off at church and market, go uphill, cross market then go uphill market to the elevator.nam elevn church street station. that's a lot of extra time. m.t.a. and the staff are looking at this from a numbers viewpoint. not from a right viewpoint, not from the needs those who most need m.t.a. i'm suggesting m.d.c. members really look at what is your responsibility. years ago the san francisco civil grand jury did a report how that version of the mayor disability council never forward any policy or recommendation, mayor brown or newsom. you need not to be passive. you need to come up and say what's going on and take it directly to the mayor. please. i will comment later on other specific issues. i'm saying, people with disabilit

i worked with the m.t.a. d neighbors to create slow streets in district five where pedestrians and cyclists could travel safely. on critical racial justice issues, i've been advocating for police reform and been marching with the black lives matter movement for years. this has been a time when neighbors, small business owners, and residents have come together. i'm honored to have their support, along with the sierra club, california nurses, san francisco teachers, the labor council, democratic party, and so many more. i'd be honored to have your support, as well. thank you. >> i think it ae's public and private property. i'm against graffiti. >> who can get it out the most who can be noticed the most. >> i i've seen seniors doing graffiti. >> the city is art, other people who have their names tag -- >> [inaudible] our unit there are 2 sections we are doing one is abating and others are notice of violation to private property. all the utility boxes in public right-of-way we abate. >> we abate calls that come wi

go talk to the m.t.a., the largest mass transit system in the entire country. what they want us to do is to work together to get something done. the speaker is staking her political capital on what benefits her the most politically and what's crazy is that she benefits the most by having the highest death counts. she's benefiting the most by our economy suffering as much as possible. can i have 30 more seconds please? ms. granger: i yield an additional minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman has one more minute. mr. zeldin: this is the type of political calculation my constituents absolutely hate. the speaker's biggest decision when we all go home and we go home without a deal is picking between which of her expensive flavors of gourmet ice cream to eat or which closed down salon to get her next blow out at. but for that furloughed airline worker, they are expecting us to get the job done. i'll tell you what, there's a real deal on the table. before we leave i beg my colleagues, i see congressman espaillat here, he's been leading the charge on s.b.a. fun

fees and urging the m.t.a. board to take up this fee waiver of their own accord pursuant to their charter authority. so i would like to move those amendments, and i'd also like to duplicate this file and rerefer it to committee in order to continue working with public works and their staff to ensure that shared spaces permits are fully accommodated going forward, and that we not be put in a position of needing these businesses to reapply for this service that has emerged during the pandemic. i want to thank public works and robin abad for everything he's done to sheriff the outdoor spaces program, so i'd like to move those two amendments, mr. president. >> president yee: okay. is there a second for the amendments? >> supervisor mandelman: second. >> president yee: okay. seconded by supervisor mandelman, and a roll call on the motion to amend. >> clerk: okay. on the motion to amend as stated -- [roll call] >> clerk: there are 11 ayes. >> president yee: okay. without objection, the amendments are accepted, and be

m.t.a. paratransit operates riders with the same service hours as before. access is operated at about 40% of the pre-pandemic level. we have implemented a number of safety measures including scheduling up to two riders max per trip, increasing vehicle cleaning as well as assigning ppes to all drivers on a regular basis. due to the lower ridership, performance has improved. we're seeing about 98% to 95% performance. our group band service has been suspended they are not providing that type of activity. we are continuing to work closely with the centers to stay up to date about their reopening plan. taxis is operated at about 8% of pre-pandemic levels. sfmta taxi services has been working closely with taxi companies to provide ppe to the companies. we lost the essential trip car program which erin will provide more detail about. paratransit is work with the council and have been hosting regular meetings online with members. we encourage anyone to attend those meetings. >> could you repeat that council please again? >> the paratransit coordinating council. >>

really the heart and soul of this program, margo has taken a job with the m.t.a., but we are absolutely committed to building on this work, creating a linkage in both the commitments that the trades have made to the city in their labor agreements, as well as the commitments made in the citywide project labor agreement to do everything we can to extend the opportunity to get good paying jobs and permanent jobs in the trades, both within the city and elsewhere. let's move on. as director davis said, coming out of the task force from the mayor's executive order, we have agreed with sciu and local 21 to the creation of two joint labor management committees. again, the work was slower to get off the ground than any of us would have liked. the seiu committee is now finally up and running. we have the co-chairs appointed. i am the co-chair for the city and we will be working with local 21 as well. we hope in those committees we will really be able to have both, you know, discussions continuing about the work and what we're doing and developing pragmatic approaches to address the issues that ar

and park and rec but where there's the communication with the department of rec or community with the m.t.a. so, i'm for closing the street. i've been there as a bicyclist and disabled bicyclist. accessibility should be for everybody. i hate to harp on this but the bicycle line there, even, as a psyche list, doesn't feel safe. so i will not ride in it. i will ride out in the street. i'm sorry. that is very badly designed and why want to see that for the rest of j.f.k. thank you. >> thank you. our next caller, please. > >> caller: hello, my name is richard rothman and i have to grow with kai about the bicycle lanes. we were on the mayor's pedestrian safety advisory committee and we went out there and we chose or we suggested to mta how to fix the bicycle lanes and to change it to make it safer for people with disabilities and you think mta looks into it, hell know. they just do what they want to do and to the gentleman who said about that e-mail address, i e-mailed the address, you didn't answer my questions, you just send me back a form about kova and i didn't ask about that so did will you

with the park alliance, is that at the m.t.a. board? >> yep, on your first question, i am not aware of any -- any changes to the -- to the relationship between the parks alliance and -- and public works. but we definitely defer to the department or parks alliance on that question. we just have not followed up since our field work. and on the second one, i will be talking a little later about the various controls that could be implemented, including the establishment of m.o.u.s. we did find that, you know, some of the friends of, including the -- the public -- the friends of the public library, is one that is a very well controlled in terms of the controls to make sure that there is transparency and visibility. and from my understanding the m.o.u. that they have with the non-profit that they work with, that the library works with the friends of non-profit, does go through their commission. so there is at least some public discussion as well as approval of that. that is just one example that we were able to find. >> okay, great. we're goin
