those are things outside of the control of the m.t.a. board, but you will see today that as part of the budget of fiscal year 21, those are a growing part of the m.t.a. budget. we did run a recession scenario. i do want to note for the audience and the board that just a revenue loss of $25 million can impact and result in a service reduction of 5% to 8%. so you can get a sense, when we talk about $25 million of revenue, how much of an impact that has. on top of that, we have seen our capital needs grow. in september, m.t.a. approved a change to our capital plan. on slide 11, we get into the specifics of where that is. two of the areas that grew the most were in traffic signals and signs, and that has to do with the state of the economy and the fact that it costs us 300% more to do a traffic signal project than it did a few months ago. we have done a lot of the low hanging fruit, but some of the projects that are proposed over the next five years are significant street reconstruction projects. the capital plan reflects the cost of implementing

even after all of this, after this budget is approved by the m.t.a. board and by the board of supervisors in the summer, we still will have a structural deficit. we still require $756 million to close the backlog and keep the system in state of good repair. we will see the $3.3 billion backlog grow. our needs with regard to investment in the system continue to grow. we want to get to all of the things listed on slide 65 fully funding the muni equity strategy, anticipating growth and funding system. ongoing funding for vision zero education, not when we can afford it. modernizing facilities, getting to the technological infrastructure and mode share. this budget does not do that but it sets a foundation that is what we can do in the next two year cycle. there are opportunities to look for. there were two transportation task forces. >> we are on slide 66. >> it shows the options before us to help raise revenues to close those gaps that i discussed, and in 2020 and 2021 we will work to advance these. this is today. based on the feedback on the options we prese

the m.t.a. boardpted a transit quick-build program at its meeting earlier this month, which will allow us to identify and address some of the biggest bottlenecks in the system, as well as making good progress on operator hiring. but we have a lot of tough challenges ahead, and we appreciate the continued partnership of this board to meet those challenges. >> chairman: thank you, ms. kershbalm. commissioner fewer. >> thank you very much. and thank you, first, for also just saying that it was -- it is a little nervous having people take a hard look, as a critical friend, to any system. the public servants are working so hard to do their best, and it is hard to hear sometimes even friendly criticism. so i want to thank you for being open to that. having said that, i would like then to add a little bit friendly criticism -- or not criticism, but actually some agreement with some of these recommendations. so i think that the first one that also, i want to say, stands out to me, is on page 12, the sfmta wan

if there is a vacancy on the m.t.a. board or planning commission maybe we can propose candidates in the small business committee to get it done. >> they are unpaid appointmen appointmentsiappointments,like s extraordinary. it attracts folk with no time to run a business on the side. >> there are examples. elgar runs a large organization and is president of the planning commission. it makes it harder. there are people that could do it. >> a well-known architect. when she is not at the commission she is designing buildings. what she has to say is based on fact and what she has seen and done. it gives those people added insight that i think is very important. >> i agree. >> we had an event to start a small business. martha was amazing. we had iris lee. the city has people to help small businesses negotiate leases. it is something i didn't know about. it is a great tool. it probably had 30 people there, 35. it was okay attended. the new director this week and so if there are small business owners with ideas or things to ask him o

but just last month, our m.t.a. boardf directors gave us authority to implement our muni forward program so much faster than before. as some of you will know, we have this thing called the quick build program. we applied it to bike lanes where we go in and engage with a community in the corridor and do some pilot implementation with some cheap and easily reversible materials with paint and plastic posts. you've seen it and some of it looks ugly and slash dash in part because we wanted it to that way. we wanted to get data and make adjustments as we go along. in the corridors where we've made these bike lanes, we've seen huge increases in bike ridership. we've also been able to generate trust with the businesses and residents in those corridors. we've also been able to make adjustments in realtime based on the data. we then make a report and decide to make the changes permanent. then there will be a separate project that uses concrete and trees and nice materials. we want to take all of that success and apply it to muni. w

we have the vice chair of the m.t.a. board of directors.

[inaudible] >> -- was created in july 2019. miss miley was appointed in as the director in january, and she has served here in the city and san francisco as the legislative aide for former supervisor vallie brown in district 5, and prior to that, she led efforts at the southeast community facility where she was the acting executive director and led the process for designing their new facility that's being built now just down the street at 1550 evans.

m.t.a. as an agency. >> good afternoon board of directors. first off, we believe our definition of equity is not the same as s.f.m.t.a. it means fair to everyone across the board. what is proposed to you right now is, yes, there is no increase on the cash fare but what we saw there is still massive increase on the monthly passes. monthly passes are used by the working class and students. you are shifting costs to another grouping of people at the expense of another group. that is not equity. we understand s.f.m.t.a. needs to make hard decisions. should we cut services or cut down fares? this is nothing new from city departments. similar lines were told to us a few years ago that we need to make decisions between funding for housing or funding for transportation. our answer is the same. stop putting different needs against each other. we need both. this increasing fare to provide service is false. since 2005 the city of san francisco has experienced 100% inflation in muni fares and steadily increasing approximately 7% each year. transit riders

. >> i recommend that the m.t.a. board does not restrict additional parking that will impact vehicularly housed folks until there are safe parking places for everyone. a couple of years ago the board put a hold on restricting parking restrictions of vehicular dwellings before other parking arrangements in this city could be made. currently, as melody was talking about, there is a safe parking place by the bell bart station, but it only holds 30 vehicles and there's hundreds more vehicles that people live in in their city. item 10 is full of parking restrictions for you to vote on, many of which do not really look like safety issues, but rather target vehicular dwellings. so please, no more parking restrictions. it causes people who have built a stable community to keep moving and to become disconnected from the people they trust. homelessness is a top issue for the governor and our mayor. together, everyone on this board has the power to support people who live in their vehicles, which are their homes, or to evict them, wh

m.t.a. you have to have equity across the board for the city. m.t.a. is a public service. fire and police do not think in the same way. they don't favor one district over another. a house burning down in the bayview is as important as the house burning in the marina district. that applies equally to crime. basically, i think this is a start, but you better address the rest of the city. as far as pleading no resources, managers are paid to address this. >> thank you. any further comment on item 15. seeing none. my understanding this is an information item, not a vote item. directors any questions? >> yes, i do have one question. i know we use metrics around on time performance and schedules, but have we ever thought about a time? you made me think of that when you pointed out the hour and 20 minutes. i always look before trips sometimes i can get there 10 minutes in taxi where it takes 45 minutes by transit. i have a choice. other people don't have that choice. could we have like a trip time? i understand there are different variables. a trip time metric. that is the differ

i knew her the whole time i was on the board of directors for the m.t.a., and just being her co-worker did not mean anything to her when it came to pulling me into conversations around doing better to get to our vision zero target more quickly. she has an extraordinary love for this city. she is deeply committed to the safety, and not just for her children, but for everyone. and she brings this incredible, talented lens that speaks to communications and inclusiveness, and just a wonderful vision for vision zero. so i'm confident knowing the two of you, and your values, from a safety and security perspective, you'll very proud to make her appointment. >> chairwoman: any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed.

m.t.a. first was presented to the board in april of 2019. it was continued by the board at that time in light of safety and reliability issues surfaced about the doors, brakes and sheer pins. they conducted the en independet oversight to identify the problems and if solutions are covered by warranty. you heard from ty lynn last meeting on the independent oversight report. good progress is being made. we see increased availability and reliability of the vehicles that are currently on the rails. as you will hear, we have incorporated the recommendations from ty lynn's report into our recommendation for this allocation request. we have nearly 2 $00 million in prop k sales tax funds for the projects. in 2014 it was the largest allocation we have made from the program. this additional $60.7 million will be added to $150 million or so and so my math is a little bit off. $1,030,000,000. the -- 130 million. the total procurement will end up at nearly $192 million. this is a reminder what the project is for the plaintiff of 151 new lrvs from semens r
