when we are voting on issue 8, on the funding, the cta suggested its funding for a pilot program. i am confused. the sar refers to a partnership program. it was just voted on that there was funding for that. yet, we are saying in the sar we are not moving forward with recommendations. if i could just have some clarification. >> there is a pilot program already funded by a sizeable grant from mtc. it they have the same interest we have in seeing these shuttles prosper. frankly, they provide such a compliment to regular fixed route transit. we want to make sure there is a structure put in place that can facilitate that work so that we do not have just the occasional neighborhood person complaining about it and no structure to answer it. that is essentially what the pilot is for. it is not to create a bureaucracy and it is not to automatically come to a conclusion to charge shall operators to be licensed. but simply, to explore that at no cost to the operators. i should also say, we are delighted we have had the participation of several of the companies that run shuttles in the city,

cta, you know, these groups are some of the largest players in sacramento. have some of the deepest pockets in the state and can get things passed. they haven't jumped on on this yet? >> yeah. i think that's one of the big flaws with this particular proposal and initiative. ballot initiative. process. is that they have a lot of smaller unions that are latching on to this, namely community college professors, and student groups. you don't see the large, powerful teachers unions grabbing on to that. so you lose some political muscle in their argument for it. so that's to be seen. i think they're trying hard. in fact, peter matthews, the man at the center of this initiative is in the bay area. he'll, this weekend, he'll be at the pride parade trying to get signatures. he's running up and down the streets to try to get more support. >> we'll, of course, the schools come into contact with a lot of people, and so does the muni. the metropolitan transit association. the mta. there's big shakeups going on over the last week. rachel, tell us what's going on. >> they'
