stronger in the way of jobs that it provides and there is a greater urgency to provide for that transportation network immediately, right now, to put our workers back to work. then the keystone project, which is further down the road, and is not as job creating the numbers as a transportation bill is for the american workers. >> lots of comments about spending and jobs. american hero on twitter takes issue with the multiplier effect comment. says the so-called multiplier is less than one. think about that. there is no multiplier effect. it's really what fraction of the spending is lost. steve in illinois asked, how many permanent jobs would be created by the keystone project? it seems most jobs would be temporary. >> i cannot answer the question. i do not know the permanent number of jobs created. certainly in the transportation bill as opposed to the keystone project, the jobs that are created are more than just temporary. we all know the phrase, if you build it, they'll come. and i certainly believe in that. you build a transportation network, businesses will come. jobs will flow. good long-term pay

we want to minimize the effect of those new cars on the transportation network and work to enhance theing transportation management demand programs. you will hear about those and what we did with these principles in the presentation following. just to give you an overview, we are going to go in to a bit of technical detail because we think it's important for you to hear how these things are arrived at. circulation issues around cathedral hill and the methodology to assess the impacts in the environmental impact report and we will describe the various modes you see in front of you. we will talk all about parking and give an update on the bus rapid transit status and how that interacts with this project and go over the transportation demand management program that is being developed through this process and talk in the end about strategiesus3q÷ through ta for making improvements to the situation. with that, i will have victoria start. >> thank you i'm from the planning department staff. i'm going to focus on the circulation of the cathedral hill campus and we're going to focus on this ca

considering a variety of different capital improvements and what their impact would be on the transportation network as a whole. this is assuming there is a certain amount of development over the next 20 years, based on that development activity, and modeling the performance of the network had once we have included the capital improvements in the system. also working through the next study process, there is a fee and expenditure package under these improvements and we are currently working on drafting an ordinance that would enable the changes we are describing. so coming back to the purpose on this, the change to the transportation methodology coupled with the establishment of a citywide impact fee would allow the city to find a set of improvements that could enhance the transportation system that has the ability to address developmental impact over time in such a way that will be consistent with city policies and priorities. going into a little more on the components of the program, the changes would move our focus away from automobile level of service and transit delay in transit crowding, both m

unprecedented efforts to secure america's borders and to advances in protecting the nation's transportation networks and critical infrastructure. while those who violate their sworn duties are few, even one corrupt agent or officer who allows harmful goods or people to enter the country puts the nation at risk. corruption within the ranks of dhs can have severe consequences, a corrupt dhs employee may accept a bribe for allowing what appears to be undocumented aliens in the u.s., while unwittingly helping terrorists enter the country. likewise taking a bribe to allow the entry of what appears to be drug contraband could expose the nation to weapons of mass destruction, such as chemical or biological bombs. oig has made investigating employee corruption a top priority. both the personnel and organizational independence of oig investigators free to carry out their work without interference by agency officials is essential to maintaining the public trust and not only the work of the oig, but the dhs workforce as a whole. the oig investigates all allegations of corruption involving dhs employees or comp

it is the transportation network. there is a few lines to carry the crowds of people we think would want to go and spend since we were able to take the 47 line. that goes from fort mason 2 points down south of market. to call a 47 the to the line that will run in between those lines and maintain the regular service but introduce every specific that really shuttles between civic center bart in fort mason, helps everybody. it helps everyone who needs to get their quickly from civic center board. there is a 47 limited. if you are a commuter train to come home all of sudden you have the benefit of a new limited. one of the silver linings in the challenges and planning is we could pilot new ideas and test them for america's cup. the idea of expanding limited is a theme. if you look at the 38 from the caltrain station to the bart station to south of market to union square, passed a major tourist destinations, that skirts the waterfront from fort mason all the way out to christie field. it is an excellent line to people who

>> on a normal day, 12 million people on the london transport network. on busy days like today, we will carry an extra 3 million trips on our network. 25% increase. that will be focused in certain parts of london and at certain times of day. we've done a lot of planning to make sure we have the services on at the right time. we have operational staff out on the network. we have given londoners the information they need so they can avoid the travel hot spots. >> it is presumably going to become more and more of a challenge as more and more of the sporting events move toward their final. there will be more spectators around. >> we are at the beginning of a busy period. we get to the end of the week and the olympic stadium comes into use, it will be very busy. we have much shorter -- it is busy across the network. today, the busiest day on the light railway. hundreds of thousands of people on certain lines today. it is busy. so far, so good. >> good luck. thank you. let's bring you some of the international news. officials in india say 60% of electricity su

. >> congressman davis at first blush sh most folks may not think that the freight rail transportation network has much to do with passenger rail security, but that's really not the case. it seems we have over 8 million rail miles a year of passenger and commuter operations on our network. we're very, very fortunate to have great working relationships with my colleagues at amtrak and some of the other passenger transportation networks. one of the things that we do through our police the president and yes, we use canine as well. happ happy to announce we're assigning a new unit to a community based effort we have in washington. we use our police department to basically go out and try to train other law enforcement agencies who are going to be the first to respond to a rail related terrorist incident. but again, we understand the importance of the transit security side and try to do our best to help our colleagues that deal with it on a more frequent basis. >> obviously, we're not involved in the mass transit of people in that, but just to respond in general as a citizen, again, i think it just

transportation. it's a key network connection. as many of you -- many in the audience know, oak street, fell street carry large volumes of motor vehicle traffic, roughly 60,000 vehicles a day combined on the two of them. as well, it's a neighborhood that is pretty dense residential, has a variety of shops and restaurants on vi dis vairo street as well as oak and fell. during the planning process people have told us they would like to see be made safer and more comfortable to walk on. it's also aa-3> very key bicyce connection. these streets combined carry about 3,000 bicycle users a day. and to give you a rough idea we have an automated counter on fell street that has recorded a million bicycle trips over the past two years in one direction. we estimate it's about 1 million coming through the corridor each year. a very key significant corridor for bicycling. as the green line shows it's a key east-west connection between the path on the panhandle that is already going through a park meandering through a park, separated from traff

so if you're ambitious, as lincoln was, what you need is a transportation network and the developmentf finance. you need manufactured goods. so if you want a good picture of lincoln's life depicted in these terms, i suggest you read what is the best lincoln book written in my generation "lincoln and the economics of the american dream." well, for this problem, the wig party had a solution, and that was for government sponsored economic development. there would be internal improvements. they would build in infrastructure with government support. they would develop manufacturing by having protective tariffs. they would have a national bank to aggregate capital so that eventually somebody like lincoln could get a loan and are for other financial reasons. well, of course the constitution doesn't say that the congress can create roads and canals and banks. so if you believed in the wig platform, you were a broad constructionist. so lincoln was a nationalist and he was a broad constructionist. the third source of his ideas was, of course, the anti-slavery movement. now the constitution are

oversight committee and infrastructure committee convened to measure to secure the nation's transportation networks. the tsa must achieve a delicate balance. tsa must be -- posed. we also expect it to be responsive to the needs of the public and demand ofs congress. 6 since the terrible events of september 11, 2001. including an attempted bombing in twine of northwest airlines flight and the attempted bombing of 2010 of a cargo jet. in our nation's 450 airport gs. more recently they have developed the program to expedite screening for low risk travelers. as the agency develops new screening techniques. today hearing will also review over reventials. 2007 and 2008 to review the rollout. in my estimate they have paid approximately $280 million to implement the program. tsa must also secure that twiks are not issued to ineligibleable applicants. secure areas of us vessels. there are many risks that approach from the waterside that twik was never intended to address. and none of the foreign mariners are calling on the u.s. ports. 6. >> with that, i yield back and i want to thank you for your courtesy.

transportation. it's a key network connection. as many of you -- many in the audience know, oak street,

for those unfamiliar with our agencies, it is the most important multi-transportation network in the world. laguardia airports. the george washington bridge is the busiest crossing in the world. there is a tunnel that links new york and new jersey. the largest port complex on the east coast and the commuter rail system. about 77 million riders rely on it. he will tell you it is an indispensable part of their lives. -- they will tell you it is an indispensable part of their lives. it is an essential in a region that has $1.4 trillion in economic output. 11% of our nation owes the gdp. of all of the transportation facilities, those suffer the most in the superstorm sandy. we took every step we could to prepare for the storm. despite preparations, is critical link was completely devastated by the historic storm surge. flooding reached over 2 feet in lower manhattan. the storm surge reached and blasted through our passengers stations. add the path tunnels, which are ancient by today's mass transit standards. the path network is dense and closely contained with complex tunnels interlockin

the other folks that are part of the industry are a very important part of san francisco is transportation network. that are sometimes working over very difficult conditions, often not getting the recognition that is deserved, but an essential part of providing transportation in the city. another important aspect are the writers of taxis, -- riders of taxis, which are often not part of the discussion at these meetings. we need to keep them in mind as we consider the policies we are contemplating, because it is ultimately to provide service to those who ride taxes, or would be riding taxis, were they more available. i believe the taxi staff of the mta has done an amazing job to get us where we are today. this is a complex industry. strong feelings around taxi service because of the history of the industry, because of politics, because of transitions of taxi service, and because there is a lot of money in the industry. all of those things, any changes, bring up strong feelings, understandably. it is very complex. many of the interests are across the board, and many are conflicting. been working thro

impact fees in such a way to allow for the city to comprehensively fund assets of systematic transportation network improvements that better meet our transit first and other mode tight -- multi-modal transportation components. we have three components. first is the way we conduct impact analysis under ceqa, six -- specifically by using automobile as a metric. the second is the establishment of a city-wide transportation ability feet. the third is completion of an environment of had report, which would study the cumulative impact of 20 years of projected development activity on the transportation system as whole and the effects of a variety of transportation affect on that growth. this effort was initiated some time ago at request of the transportation authority board at that time. the commissioners recognized the difference between the way we were conducting transportation impact analysis, and the city's goals in terms of supporting transit first and other multi molecule transgendered petition abilities -- multi-modal transportation abilities. in 2009 the city formed an interagency committee compri

transport data. communications and social networking are growing exponentially. industry calls these record sets of information big data. concurrently, there have been major advances in data warehousing, data mining, and advanced analytics. i'm not a technical person. however, i'm excited about some of the new tools and resources that have been recently developed to exploit big data and help the modern criminal investigator. yet those tools are not in our investigators' hands. not at the federal, state, or local level. and i'm convinced the only way we're going to reelistally stay abreast of some of these challenges that we face and financial crimes and terror finance is to use technology as a force multiplier. now, if we're talking about financial data, we have to talk about treasuries, financial crimes enforcement network, f finsen. finsen is the gatekeeper and should be the u.s. government's premier financial crimes resource. however, as i documented in my first book, "hide-and-seek: intelligence enforcement," finsen has never lived up to its early promise and

transportation isn't a snapshot. it's ongoing development process. for instance the transit network that you see in the top is both local and regional and we showed in dotted lines what is coming down the line, central subway, and the loop for mission bay and the loop in chinatown and all happening at different times and part of the assessment is looking at when and get them in place when needed. we looked at the bay trial and the bicycle network what is needed and proposed and parking and north of the building and lots or garages and looking how they relate to the arterial net works that feed the freeways and you get a map that would be otherwise impossible to understand and too many colored lines and network but it shows how dense and multimodal this network is. these circles radiated out here show quarter mile and half mile and mile radius. we could do that anywhere and how many bus stations and terminals and bart and that informs these land use projects. now in addition to the networks are the list of projects themselves. we identified three phases. 12013 to 2017 and out to two

speed rail only two and a billion dollar infrastructure infusion into our existing and future transportation networks, and we are here today as evidence that this is about economic vitality , investment, not just in the central valley where the need is great, but throughout all of california. the economy is national and international in scope. a meeting of the federal reserve can affect california's unemployment more easily than most of the decisions we make i gosh we are here to take the talk about safety on the transportation system. earlier this year, the board of directors adopted a new strategic plan, and while the mission is to move people around san francisco, the number one goal of that strategic plan is safety. that is because no matter where you were in terms of moving around whether you are on foot, on a bike, driving in a car, riding on muni, you need to be able to do so safely and get where you're going safely. we need to make sure the transportation system is clean, and efficient, attractive. first and foremost, it needs to be safe. thanks to a great partnership we have with the san fra
