so which leads us to this current program, the tpi. he mtc, metropolitan transportation system established this program to focus on two things, one was transit ridership and the other transit system productivity. they did, as most know, made explicit in the approval of this program, programs to provide fair relief to low income youth. >> supervisor wiener: i want to clarify one thing. in terms of the history at mtc. mtc rejected the specific lifeline funding for san francisco's free muni program back in the summer, correct? >> that's correct. >> supervisor wiener: and in terms of the tpi money, the free i think everyone agrees for that but i want to be very clear that mta is not required to use the money for that purpose. mta has the discretion in terms of whether to allocate all or portions of the money to free muni program, to maintenance, to new vehicles or other operational needs. >> yeah. that's absolutely correct. the wñ?ñ? mtc considered an earr proposal, late spring/early summer, to make funds available explicitly and only for y

just a quick overview of capital funding, a discussion of muni performance, and then speak about the tpirogram, which, as supervisor wiener said, one of the purposes of is to increase ridership. so looking at the big picture of our capital funding, and sorry that that's not showing up right on the screen, we have undertaken a comprehensive' quy capital planning process that starts with a 20 year unconstrained plan that lays out all of the needs for all of the assets that mta has. from that, we develop a five year capital improvement program, which is a fiscally constrained program and a a two year capital budget. the constrained budget is almost 24 billion to bring it into a state of good repair, calls for expansion and enhancement needs of the figure, nearly $6 billion, we would need every five years. when we bring that down to a five year cip program we have about $2 billion identified, outside of the central subway to meet our core needs, which are articulated at a project level detail in the two year capital budget, which the core of which is bringing the system into a state of good

reiskin himself noted during the hearing, and as was noted during the presentation of the tpi fundingat has been allocated for san francisco, it's money that can be used for different things. and the fact that the mta board of directors chooses to use this increase the accessibility of public transportation for low income youth does not mean that the mta cannot, at the same time, turn around and use some of the money for maintenance. that somehow the lack of reliability of the system of an agency that has anpvpx& $800 min budget rests solely on the fact that it's going to make public transit more accessible to low income kids, it's simply not reflective of the reality that has been true of muni for the last few years. muni, to the extent that their issues about maintenance, the reason for that is not because of the funding of these types,%f programs. to the extent thatmine is failing or hasjpn,1 to address those issues, it is not because of somehowqpihb making public transportation more accessible to poor kids in this city. i think it's simply unfair to place that responsibility on

. * the mta, senior management and board of directors will soon be deciding how to spend this tpi money, the $6.7 million, that can be used to maintain and improve the reliability of the muni system. in my view, this is a test of muni management. it is a test about how serious this agency is about reversing the decades of severe under investment and the reliability of the system. i am also today on the bright side, introducing a resolution to approve the purchase by muni of 17 new 40-foot hybrid diesel buses. we recently approved the purchase of 45 new buses and new funding has arrived and we're able to purchase even more. so, it's great that the agency is able to move forward and increasing the number of buses that we have on our streets, and the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor wiener. mr. president, seeing no other names on the roster, that concludes roll call for introductions. >> thank you. why don't we go now to general public comment. >> the next item on the agenda is the opportunity for the public to address the board for up to two minutes, generally on items within the s

calling on congress to extend tax credits that are set to expire at the end of the year for clean energy companies like tpio it now. >> that was president obama in newton, iowa, yesterday, pushing for clean energy tax credits. this weekend marks the unofficial start of summer and this year pain at the pump is not so acute. the national average price for a gallon of regular is $3.67, down 17 cents from a month ago and 14 cents from a year ago. it's good news for the economy and it maybe it makes it easier for president obama to get energy back on the table. i mean, well, i would think it would actually, contrary to my script. it actually, i mean it gives president obama a little bit of an opening to start talking about renewables again which has been sort of a boggy man or booingyman. he has not wanted to talk about it i think in large part because the republicans have used solyndra effectively within washington. as we said during the break, i don't think most of this country has any idea what it is. here we have the president talking about wind energy and renewables, steve. >> i feel the whole issue of ene
