i know our city has goals of electric vehicle fleet and rental companies are one of the fleets that alloweople to become for comfortable with the hybrids so we have incentives having hybrids and protecting electric vehicles >> we do the airport has part of the rental companies leased and there's incentives both to the companies and to the client who would rent the car they would get decreases it cuts down on some of the fees the more clean vehicles they succeed in renting. >> any further questions. okay. thank you mr. rose on your report >> yes. on page 16 as shown in table 4 the annoyed minimum annual guarantee and percentage rent known as base rent together with the space rent from the rental companies in the first 4 years of the exciting all the time totaled 3 hundred million plus. and then on page 18 of our report we note it over the 5 year extension which is included the 5 exciting rental car leases the total rent would be a minimum of 2 hundred million plus we recommend you approve this resolution >> okay. mr. rose any questions seeing none, we'll move to public comment. >> is there

and the trillion fleet is much older. in some cases we have trolley cases. so part of the effort here is to systematically replace them. the hybrid are a quantum thank you. leap forward so anything we're able to retire a fleet by itself bus in the next couple of years we'll have - we have the 1 hundred and 12 buses by the end of this year. we're have 60 foot trolley coaches and the first one b will be here in a year are that the most of the december two months we'll put in an rfp on the street to purchase thirty and 40 and 60 foot buses that will be hybrid buses. so the timing and sequencing of that we'll replace the dual. obviously the diesel replacement will be a net game in terms of emissions. >> i know i ride on the electric buses it boosts moral for the riders but i notice here under the fiscal impact the new vehicles are quicker to board and they have their training for staff to drive the new vehicles and the installation for wireless or wireless downloads so they're more efficient it fit into the better efficient s

>> it has one of the largest taxis fleet and they have a fleet and, a limo fleet and a settle operation at the airport. and the technology that they have developed was over the years, some, the things that they developed in the house and seeing the utility of it for their own fleet, they decided to start this transportation infrastructure company. and this is not their first product. i believe that their first product was an advertising platform that was qualified by veriphone. >> and they have a cashiering system that is a software system that has been in operation, over a year and a half at the airport that handles 900,000 trips a year. so this is not the first technology project and there is a shuttle management system and this is not the first product and they have had other successful software products before and as to write the integrity itself, it has been installed in several 100 cabs in las vegas, as a pilot program since july of 2013. and it is being installed into some limo fleets for the nevada transportation authority to collect data. and to enforce regulations with respect

the second funding option we looked at was investment in the munis fleet maintenance. this primarily rehabilitation of the bus light rail vehicles and transit mode chair away from the private use and reduce carbon emissions. investment is likely to have an impact on the public. it would not cause an increase from further vlf money. the 3rd is vlf street repaving which is reduce the city's capital cost will you tell unlike to to reduce transportation mode chair from private vehicle use and it's unlikely or uncertain whether a significant investment of road repavement would have impact on munis on time performance and safety of the public. we also looked at bicycle improvements. assuming they would look at the bicycle improvements there would be a shift way from private vehicle use and possibly way from transit. by providing cyclist with a safer and more connected bicycle network. for instance, a $30 million investment of bicycle improvement could result in 50 miles of painted lanes or 300 miles of bicycle lanes. this could reduce carbon emissions. significant investment

we also -- as i mentioned the next 50 buses but we're replacing the fleet. increase number of signalized interceptions and signals and the count down signals and we have been focusing on pedestrian safety as we talked about a little bit in my director's report and increased enforcement staff. something you authorized in the budget to make our streets safer. our performance indicators for the three objectives under goal one are shown here. doing well, in terms of injuries, no improvement in terms of collisions and crime is the one area as we've discussed extensively to government committee and it's stolen property. the rest of the city and across the city, it's an area of crime that continues to be on the rise. we'll be launching a new awareness compain in the next week or so with the police and the da to try to reverse that trend. moving onto goal two, which is the transit first goal. this is making all of the more sustainable goals of transportation more attractive. and you can see the objectives of the goals are listed here. teresa and suzanne lopez are ou

from operating certain of the approach by its fleets. from european skies. this is where all the boeing some thirty seven is not the type that has been banned but you know if there is a ban in place that implies that there might well being some sort of maintenance issue that the european authorities particularly are concerned about it's a really bad line chris will stay with it we really appreciate your input if you do lose your morphy sorry it's just jumping around a little bit apologies to our viewers as well but hope you can bear with us you talking there about the fact that a company tatarstan has had some flights bound over european airspace yet we're here does fly to i think what was i mentioned earlier on tell of even the somewhere else as well to prague as well so it does fly into europe what you're saying it's the more solvent era planes that have not been allowed but a plane like this is seven three seven either the three or four the five hundred series there would have been allowed to fly into europe yeah. well indeed. it was but it took care of.

it would also give us some tremendous analytical capacity with respect to the taxi fleet and it would make our field enforcement more effective so we hope to enjoy many of the benefits of this software. as you are likely to hear during comment on this item, the on board devices may not be required for the purpose of implementing the eta system, which is why we have structured the agreement to make the on board devices an option with the hope the data can be provided through the existing in-taxi equipment as was the original intention. as you are likely to glean from the discussion today this contract is somewhat controversial and in developing it i want to make sure the board is aware we have listened to the industry's comments on the issues and done our best to accommodate those concerns which i think you are about to hear so if you have particular questions i'm happy to answer them or --. >> i suggest we hear from the public at this point then go to the closed session after the next item then come back. thank you. >> charles rotter, tim santos, steven humphries. >> good afternoon. >

for flynn, they have the lowest amount of fleets in our overall fleet. we met with the cac in october 3rd and we're meeting with you to get your approval. we are submit this program update by december 1st. we'll be back in a year to share results of the monitoring program again and we hope to have closed those gaps and have no impacts the next time we come to see you. >> thank you very much. i especially the fact that we're going to do this annually. that's important and thank you for the report. >> members of the boards, questions or comments. >> i have a question. >> lee. >> i thought it was excellent report. what i want to ask, when you look at minority and non minority, do we look at the impact of switch backs and where they're occurring? do we look at that too? >> as part of this program, we do not. we do know where the switch backs are occurring. it's reason currently as one of the title 6 requirements. >> the program is looking at our service plan not really about how we deliver the service. we have been -- john and his folks have been spending a

that stevie got kate said use innings you use kazakhstan will be able two teaspoons of the old car fleet and increased the shul assembly of new cars according to experts on the kazakhstan corby's this association. it is fun to watch the training program and the country next year the main lady of peace program is that every citizen of kazakhstan who removes an old car from the register and meet some sort the requirements of car dealers will be able to get a new car. leading the most money. we have already explained alright deity supervisory officials and the government's peace program is advantageous for the car market in accordance with these programs people will be able to change old cars for new ones. everything will be done in a showroom and everything will be transparent. he's the first introduction of the year two thousand and fourteen recently the kazakhstan car business association together with the cosmic minister of industry and music knowledge is the lead of the analysis of the season's second hand cars markets. these analysis preceded few goals included the chicken of technica

this procurement will be followed by the mta they're in the midst of replacing their entire fleet.o on behalf of the supervisors i'd be happy to have this board of supervisors approval >> mr. haley. >> thank you, mr. chairman and members of the committee. good morning i'll add a couple of things briefly. this is a key element of a 3 part program for us which means improving our system by first replacing our entire rubber fleet over a 5 year period and second by integrating a systematic and focus rehabilitation program with our help and support often both the number of buses and thirst basically to reindignant our maintenance program. it's important in the action before you today and in the recommendation it includes money both for the training of our staff but for the purpose of parts any and it's our goal to continue to improve our maintenance program and make sure we run the safest and most reliable fleet we can. we think that all the actions that we're putting together given where we are the fleet we have not only the most heavily used you're busy run a lot of hours in a demandi

so it's a big addition to our fleet and it continues on. it will be the same buses as the 62 that you see out in the streets now. 50 more starting to make a dent on removing ourselves from having the honor of having the oldest fleet in the country, so good news and i want to thank dawn for your support. >> members of the board, questions or comments. >> commissioner heinicke. >> i apologize for not coming because of my work. the meeting was shorter in my absence but he didn't say who said it. we got a memo about the fund balance from you indirectly from sanali. is that something we're going to discuss? >> it's not because the annual report was completed before the fiscal year. it's something we'll discuss more during the budget when they do a work shop. >> i'll say, thank you for this and thank you to sanally for the fantastic work this meets and meeting our 10 percent budget. i was pleased to see this and this is a sign of financial help for the agency, something that allowed us to survive the last down turn and we can discuss it more, but

the fleet of good repair, it's -- we are not replacing and overhauling our vehicle fleet as recommended, therefore they're breaking down and within the next number of years, a trolley or a bus breaking down every 500 miles. we're talking about a period of days and this has a lot to do with the missed runs, the reliability problem that the system has. bart is saying that they're currently -- their ridership now is close to peak and they'll be beyond capacity within the next number of years. they're saying that absolute capacity is 500,000 at current transit. it looks like they'll be serving 750,000 passengers and up to a million over the next 15 years and they cannot sustain that. in the area of bicycle and pedestrian safety, there is a city goal to reduce collisions and accidents by 50 percent over the next five years. we're nowhere near that right now. our collisions grow as the number of bicycles grow in the city and the number of pedestrian and other kinds of collisions, fatal collisions continue at the current rate. so this is an area where the task force is planning to address. so

where are we if as we go forward with sequester in terms of fleet size and the attack submarine fleet? i know you mentioned in your opening testimony that one less virginia class submarine would be built during the period we would like to build it. can you give as picture what the overall fleet looks like? >> well, as i mentioned, the undersea domain critically important. we need 45 to 55, our goal is 55. we would be down to 48 submarines in 2020. yeah that as a benchmark year. unfortunately due to sequestration we lost the "uss miami" which was a project portsmouth had. the overruns, the furloughs and need to have to go to a commercial work force instead of using federal work force was just too much. we couldn't afford that submarine and continue to do the other. >> my understanding is we aren't meeting combatant commanders' needs with requests they make for the fleet now. what is the rough in terms of where we are now? >> the combatant commanders as they look at the world distribution of submarines for intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, they need about 19 submarines any t

in fact, the investigations of the navy during the early 19th century reveals not a fleet dominated by sea going vessels, but instead, of national flotilla of gun boats, whose duty included defending the ports and harbors and upholding domestic policy. now the gun boats of the jeffersonian era, they were not large, or designed for blue water operations. they had several common characteristics, despite wide variations in design. they are generally 40 to 80 feet long. they are roughly 15 to 20 feet across the beam. 4-7 feet across the hull. and carried 1 or 2 large guns. 24 or 32 pounders. they were one or two masted, shallow vessels that were designed to fight in coastal waters rather than the open seas. now, the debate over what type of navy the united states would embrace intensified once thomas jefferson assumed the presidency in 1801, for jefferson and the republic an party, they felt an overwhelming need for further reduction of the national debt. production and government spending. sounds familiar today. these embodied conflicted goals. especially since the republicans inherited a

. >> imagine a new york city with taxi fleet dominated by electric vehicles. imagine the year, is i it 2030? 2050? how about 1899. that's right. there were close to 100 batly powered taxis on the streets of new york. that same year one of the electric cabs earned the city's first speeding violations barreling down the avenue at 10 mph. 114 years later electric taxis are back. the city is rolling out six fully electric nissans for a year-long test run. >> this is where i plug in. >> an owner operator who has been driving a taxi for 17 years. he's also one of the test drivers. >> it's something new . it's never been tested before, and i wanted to be a part of it. >> this is the engine. it's not really "a" engine. it's the imitation of an engine. it covers the electric motor. >> why would you have a take engine in there? >> so people don't get concerned that there is something missing, perhaps. >> but there is no noise. the car is on right now? >> it is. >> you can't hear anything? >> nope. >> amazing. >> this car attracts more attention than a lamborghini or a r

investment plan or the spending plan identified including streets and signals and rebuilding the building fleet. safe and complete streets and then providing a -- assistance to our partners. the plan is now proposing to raise the level to a good condition, to replace almost half of the city's traffic and ped signals within 15 years and this will improve the transit as well as pedestrian safety and reliability. and to modernize the signals to reduce congestion. the vehicle fleet rehabilitation, again, as i'm sure you know from personal experience the break downs that occur within the vehicle fleet because of the vehicles are not being overhauled and replaced in a timely way and then converting the bus to 60 passengers and improving the maintenance sufficienty my rebuilding our maintenance facilities. rapid network enhancement includes better market street, the implementation of the transit effectiveness project and the gary network improvement. i did want to note that the plan as it stands now would fund the betterer market street, but has not funded the gary rapid transit. this is an area where

the expansion program is to increase your fleet and expand it. rapid enhancement and market street and the effectiveness project and improvements on the gary proposal. bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements, more accessibility, every time we do construction, we have to bring that to ada compliance and they exceed that level of compliance. the complete street pilots that have been completed are beautiful and makes a difference to the community cohesion. our partners require matching funds from the city and council. some feed money toward bart expansion within the downtown corridor. so there's a number of potential programs that have been identified. oh, and i should note that the identification of which projects to fund was brought to the task force by the mta staff, by the transportation staff, and by bart and cal tran. the transportation members aren't identified what to fix, but more on a policy what the priority should be and then taking in the information that we've received by the experts in the field. so again, streets and signal improv

realtime geolocated, very usable for the customers, and the legal fleets and drivers in san francisco are working very hard to compete with all the illegal and new services that are coming out and they are making lots of headway. our rides through fly wheel are rated 4 and 5 stars 95 percent of the time by our passengers here in san francisco. 95 percent 4 and 5 star ratings, 70 percent straight up 5 stars. driver reliability, when a driver accepts a hail through fly wheel, more than 99 percent of the time they show up to pick up that passenger so quality and reliability are being delivered by your fleets here in san francisco. so despite the good intent of this proposal it's the wrong action, it's a static platform being proposed from a company as tim mentioned not active in the standards based industry we are active in. our apps are revved every two weeks, our entire cloud platform is updated every week. six million is substantial but even then it will be impossible to keep up. it's going to either drag down san francisco or cost more than proposed. to be clear we'd like to help. th

we put in the amounts necessary to rehabilitate the various fleets and then with the remainder going entirely to expanding munis runs and we can get an 8 percent increase with a remaining $50 million. and then the last slide summarizes the scenarios in one table. so, i won't go through that. but if there is any questions, i would be happy to address them. >> so i see no questions and the way that i look at your three scenarios, the first one is more of a balance of different transit improvements environmental sustainability improvements. a balance of bicycle and pedestrian improvements as well. no. 2 is focused on improving pavement and scenario no. 3 is heavy on services but other transit maintenance and trolley maintenance and probably mta's preferred item i would get. but i really appreciate the great research. does anyone have any questions because we should move on to the equity analysis. thank you. >> thank you. >> let me ask if commissioner avalos has any comments. >> thank you chair mar. i appreciate you bringing this item forward. to me i think it's best we continue this ite

as well we assumed that the number of vehicles in the private vehicle fleet in the city would remain constant and we don't know whether the number of vehicles would actually stay constant or decrease or increase. finally, we do not have a solid estimate of the potential for what some term leakage which is that some individuals and businesses may choose to or attempt to let reregister their vehicles in other counties because they may have a second home or other address or business address that's in a location outside of the county. and, san francisco county is the only county in state law that is able to raise the vof. there might be an impact on the number of vehicles purchased maybe slightly based on the increased cost. below the table with the projections you will see our analysis of the impact of residents on the different income levels. on two 2 percent of the annual average fee of the average vehicle which we estimated 11$11 million or $150 more than the current $72 fee of the average very value. what residents at all income levels would be affected by the increase. the extent o

they say the fleet is in a critical state hampered by 20 years of disrepair and mismanagement. two ambulances caught on fire. it was recommended that there were more than 100 changes. fire and ems say they are trying to implement those changes. >> for the second time in as many years, the supreme court will take a challenge to the affordable care act, obamacare. it is a provision of the law providing businesses to provide birth control under their health care policies. some people say it violates freedom of religion. >> gordon, here is the background on this one. there are scores of lawsuits that are against providing plan b or the morning after pill through their employers. the country is split on the issue. that is why the supreme court will hear yet another obamacare challenge. obamacare's fate will once again rest in the hands of the land's highest court. up for debate -- oh should a private for-profit company be forced to provide such benefits ownersraception if their believe it is against their religion? a today, the president during fund-raising swing through california

we add to that our fleet is 1 hundred percent alternative fuel bio electric or diesel fuel. again, thank you for your leadership you've been working on those vehicles but in those complicated areas of the apartment buildings that don't have a clear ownership or leadership in some of those buildings and because of the murpt charge st. a they've helped 34 apartment buildings across this area. whether it's our own employees or for the public-private companies they're playing an important role in making e v infrastructure available in our city. our department environment has been working with the business council to reach out to the entire business community in san francisco and help companies start the process of making themselves e v ready. mufrdz and clean energy and technical companies are working with the good times and company owners to fight the climate change with the e v movement. so by working and innovating together our city is looerd the way. i encourage everyone to come out here and a checkout the wide range of plug in vehicles. and you might want to look at the sco

wh we havever 300,000.aps a now it's the samething, going to more andore fleets. >>hy the focus on the professional cab maet? right now there are so many companies. people have seen theink muaches, uber-x. someeople a saying anyone could be a cab driver if they operate their car onne of these as. why areou focusing on old fashioned professional cab companie >> we think theab industr is the dom gnat solution. they're driving around the city al day long. they're licensed and insured. for t city it's balance of the urban environment. they mane the cabs on the street because if you get 1,000 more vehicles, traffic is bad enough, when you getore it gets woe. we're seeing a lot o feedback as a taxi experice is getting that ride share, and it smells like a dog, and the driver didn't know where to go, and i had give directio, taxi drives know how to get arnd. peopleay t experiencisn't always great. i think it wilbe two years from now, when all of the dust has settled,here ismos and taxies. >> i think there is a opponent too where more and more people have srt phones. lots
