cpuc not expected to make a decision until late june. >>> thanks, bob. >> 4:32. happening today in contra costa county, sentencing for a man who killed two in a drunk driving crash. back in 2017, his car veered into another car on a highway off-ramp in concord. after both cars crashed, wilson ran from the scene and later tried to report his car stolen. two brothers, 5 and 10 years old, died. their infant brother survived but was seriously injured. he faces 40 years in prison. >>> now to decision 2020. >> candidates arrived yesterday, campaigned, spoke with voters and tried to raise money. >> as the first woman elected to the united states senate from state and candidate for president of the united states. >> amy klobuchar spwraousz herself to san francisco. more than a dozen democrats will be speaking at the convention and fund-raisers. larry gerston said gaining support is key. >> it makes sense for them to do what they can to make that impression among the activists. the people at that convention are the activists. they are the ones who run around the state gat

the bill would give the cpuc the ability to tasking existing state agency is a procurement backstop. at the hearing last week for the bill, we focus and how the bill will be amended to address any stakeholder concerns and should be seen as a starting point for discussions. c.c.a. is providing some ideas for different amendments to make it a little bit more tenable for c.c.a.s. we currently believe that a central buyer is unnecessary, however, we will would be willing to support one who is responsibilities are limited to procuring unmet local resource adequacy capacity. so we will definitely be continuing to engage on this bill and report back to as the session progresses, any questions on ab 56? great. ab 1362 is another bill we wanted to draw your attention to it would not be applicable to clean power s.f. because it applies primarily to c.c.a.s that are in development, but cal c.c.a. is opposing this bill. it would over stern s.p. 790 which was signed into law into 2011 and has the cpuc with adopting a code of conduct to prohibit investor-owned utilities for marketing against c.c.a

four safety committee, the cpuc, they came out and looked at it yesterday and had no concerns.ed on some of the feedback we here today, we are looking forward to putting the train back in service with all of the doors operating. [indiscernible] >> not that i'm aware of. >> my understanding is that we may be one of the few, if not the only that has the single pain design. the problem does not exist at the center doors which are double pain, and i think the typical product is all double pane doors, so while we are not aware of this problem happening everywhere else, we are not aware of that -- this design anywhere else. >> i think based on fitting with the rest of our system, this was the design that is somewhat akin to the doors we have on the existing trains. >> so do we have a city attorney for any litigation in this area? >> just to clarify, and i want director torres' question answered, please, but just to clarify, siemens is paying for this. >> yes. >> the manufacturer is paying for all of these upgrades and fixes. >> i was also referring to the potential losses that could

so currently existing regulation by the cpuc focus on drivers and regulation. t.n.c.'ittle public data? however we can find some data that sheds some light on the safety data on osha and the bureau of labor statistics? taxi drivers are over 20 times more likely to be murdered on the job than other workers? and 32% of taxi drivers were murdered on the job in 2014. another example of the safety risk that exists can be found here. so as you guys can see, can imagine, the data is very comparable from t.n.c.s and taxi drivers, and that's what we're trying to highlight. another example of the safety that exists is the image on the right. this poses a safety risk for drivers that are attempting to identify or report passenger rideshare incident. next up, we have food delivery. third party food delivery companies are not regulated at the federal, state or local level. in san francisco, the city's department of public health issues permits to a variety of retail food operations, including farmers markets, caterers and mobile food vendors but does not appear to regulate the mobi

and that's where san francisco's hands are tied with the cpuc and how much they can regulate t.n.c.s. that's something that really needs to be overhauled at the state legislature, is to -- is to allow municipalities to really regulate this on their own because the cpuc has shown that they're incapable of regulating t.n.c.s. and then, the last thing i would add is that one piece that i would loved to have seen in the income and expenses part are the predatory car loans, is that people are slaves to these indigenous apps. if they stop driving, they're stuck. they're just simply stuck, so i would say that would be one piece that i would add into it. and i don't know if you plan on working further with lafco as the labor study moves forward with jobs with justice and so forth, if your class will stay engaged. i know you move on to other classes, but i would just say that i would -- that i would ask that you say engaged with us anden -- stay engaged with us and engaged in the process, and we'd love to have you back. >> yeah, that definitely is something we should look more into. >> chair f

. >> reporter: this is just the first step in something senate bill 901 requires the cpuc to do on an annual basis. utility companies like pg&e are required to submit mitigation plans. >> it is not something that is clear and well laid out. there is no example of a perfect plan any place thate >> reporter: a couple of weeks ago, cal fire investigators determined the campfire was caused by transmission fires owned by pg&e. that's why the gas electric company will deenergize them in some circumstances making some people with disabilities concerned. >> deenergizing should be e the absence of power cy has life threatening consequences. >> we need you, the commission, to make decisions that will protect us from these mitigation efforts. >> reporter: as part of pg&e's mitigation plan, the company will ramp up inspections by 400% compared to 2018. expanded use of conductors and investigation management. utilities is just part of making california safer. vegetation management is also ckie ward, kpix5. >>> new at noon, the santa clara district attorney's office announced it will file hate crim

will also be renewed by the lrv for safety certification committee, as well as staff from our the cpuc which is our regulator. while i'm hopeful that this change can be implemented relativity quic quickly, we have parts on hand and a good path forward, i am not committing to it until late june, because i want to make sure that we go through all of the review steps that with need to. >> i apologize, but i had to step out, so this impacts about half of the 50 that you've taken title to, taken receipt of? the coupler, it's more like 30%. we have about 104 couplers and identified 25 to 30 with damage. but the couplers can be replaced without a service impact because we have a maintenance float of couplers and we'll put on a fresh one, send the odd one outo be repaired. >> these are all under warranty? >> yes, and these will all be repaired as part of the contract. >> i had a question on the lrb vehicles, too. i know -- and kind of connecting it to the topic of the hearing, which is on the performance goals. we're well aware of that, these new lrbs were intended to address service delivery

the cpuc has just started a process of trying to interpret and implement that legislation, so we'll remainvery heavily active in that. there could be a tie of what comes out of our report and potential use of the funds to mitigate the inequities. look forward to that in the next week or so. a couple of app updates. first with regards to muni mobile. which we launched less than four years ago. but continues to have a strong and growing customer base. for example, last month, more than 90,000 customers purchased more than 220,000 tickets using the free app. and we expect over the course of this fiscal year, that ticket sales will exceed $9 million. so something that we haven't really pushed out or marketed very much. it's getting pretty good uptake. this week, we'll launch an updated version of muni mobile with a new look and feel. it will now accept apple and google pay as options for pavement along with credit card and paypal and debit cards. just our way of trying to make it more accessible and available to more folks and easier for them to ride muni. tickets can be stored an used anytime
