san francisco voters, that and i think that all of these different elements are implicated by the cpc's decision, and what it really boils down to is first of all, safe streets for residents and visitors, second, access to public transportation by the elderly and the disabled. and third, reduction of congestion on the city streets which also helps make muni perform better and reduction of pollution. so those four points, are reflected in this language from our city's charter. >> then, i also want to talk a little bit about what the values of regulation are. and so, when i asked myself, what it is that i am supposed to be doing as a regulator of taxis these are the values that we are trying to protect, safety is the primary purpose of regulation for both screening vehicles and drivers is where it is most implicated in the taxi industry, second, the viable point of transportation mode which includes protecting quality of service and i have to say that me and my colleagues all over the country are frequently accused of being protectionist and being too close to the industry that we regulat

>> under the existing. >> not only, nothing that addresses the driving hours in the cpc decision and also there is absolutely no way to monitor that. >> okay. >> thank you >> can you tell us how they are regulated verses how the taxi drivers are regulated. >> before you become a taxi driver you have to get a criminal background check, which as i mentioned covers your entire adult life and as well as a ten year, dmv history and the tnc, driver will be screened for 7 years, based on social security number and background check and whereas your ting engineer print and i believe that it is a three year, dnb history and there is a training requirement, but, the tncs are only required to report what training that they are given. or giving. and there is not any specific requirements, we have designed very specific requirements for our taxi schools and what vehicle code sections they need to cover and how much time they need to spend on traffic safety and how many time they need to spend on geography and those do not apply to the tncs. >> the taxis have a camera in them and that is designed t

we're continuing to advocate for the cpc to administer this program in an efficient way allowing the regions and delivery organizations and counties really be empowered to delivery those efficiently. so we will continue to work with partners here in san francisco and in the region and state level to coordinate our input into that process and hope for a better result by next year. locally we've had a lot of great developments there was a hearing of the budget and legislative analysts and many of you participated in that and . this compares to average spending and will be a challenge in terms of the funding. on the geary project you have a more full report on your desk on that project. we've been doing outreach we held the meeting in the richmond early er this month and we had a meeting on larkin street so please come on down to the main library and learn about the staff recommended preferred alternatives that we're talking about with mta and give us your input please. the japan town will also have an event in january to discuss the options particularly with a focus on the western edit

progressivism is happening on the same day that the 70-member congressional progressive caucus, the cpcdget, which is called the better-off budget. the caucus is presenting their spending blueprint against a backdrop of stagnating wages, after all, not every worker is a government contractor, and soaring corporate profits. they say it would create 8.8 million jobs by 2017 through a combination of infrastructure spending, state aid, and public works funding. it would also, paging house republicans, reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over 10 years, by instituting a carbon tax, restoring clinton era tax rates and creating new tax brackets for millionaires and billionaires. so will it pass? no. but should it be discussed? most certainly. joining me now is a democratic congressman from minnesota's 5th discorre district, keith ellison. congressman ellison, it's always great to have you on the show. >> thank you. >> let me start with news of the hour, the president weighing in on his administration, the fact they ended torture, and as co-chair of the congressional progressive caucus, would you

what's not in this chart is our cpc or construction department or capital department. and any staff in the departments that charge a capital. this is truly operating. and so the rise expenditures as you could see are the second to the bottom line. once these numbers do not include labor. we did find out yesterday the city is now, instead of carrying a zero zero percent increase on this side, they're carrying a zero in fy 15 and 2.21 percent in fy 16. for us that translates to $9 million. so if we were to get 2.2 fy 16 we would have to add $9 million to our expenditure side of these numbers. there's going to be presentation on service at some point, but this slide in slide 18 summarizes what's in that service increase slide, a three percent increase in fy 15 and ten percent in fy 16. it could be higher as we walk-through the public comment periods. we may not be able to reduce the service that we were thinking, so it may be as high as 12 percent if we add the public basin put. i won't go through the slide but you know what the tp is about. it's trying to make our servic
