supervisor cohen: i am curious, is mr. mason going to come back and speak to the safety and security? we kind of skipped over that slide. >> do you want to talk about it? >> this is mr. mason. >> [inaudible] >> good afternoon. i am director of safety and security enforcement for the mta. i want to talk about what we're doing on the t-line with the inspectors in the muni transit assistance. they're deployed on a daily basis, from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at night. they ride the t-line. they start out add muni metro east, right off of cesar chavez. they ride the t-line to get to their post and back. we have folks that are dedicated to the k-t line on a daily basis. they do monthly focused inspections at different stations along third street. we have the muni transit assistance that are concentrating in the bay view area. they write buses and trains throughout the area. they are a uniformed presence to be -- to deter crime. we work closely with the bayview district police station, with the fare inspectors and the muni transit assist

chairman, one thing along with everything mr. mason said, that has been a very helpful tool, across the whole operation, and the aggressive introduction and improve maintenance program for video cameras. on the t-line, for example, there are cameras on the station platforms, cameras on all the vehicles. we're in the process of creating the technology for the cameras, and they have been invaluable to us, our resources to will for any operational incidents, as well as some of the graffiti incidents, some of the other criminal incidents. one of the things they would like to point out to people is the likelihood they would point something out to the new people, it is a very high likelihood it would be memorialized in that would be invaluable information that would go on to our security folks, but ultimately to sfpuc. -- sfpd. supervisor cohen: now i have a series of prepared questions. many of the questions i have the i will be asking have come from folks to have -- who have emailed me because they were unable to attend the hearing today.

i'd like to call mr. mason to the podium. folks, i am almost done. i just want to talk about the t- line, get clarification. so, tell us the overall strategy. >> the overall strategy for the t-line -- we have transit fare at inspectors. there was an audit conducted about a year ago, with the concern that the t-line, the fare increase was the highest on the t-line. the fare inspectors were moved to muni metro, so they could have a more concentrated effort, and that is all the way up to a third straight. you have more of those folks up there. there are folks that are completely dedicated to that area. supervisor cohen: is this a standard approach to fare evasion? or is this unique to the se? >> i'm not going to say it is unique, because we have targeted this line. i do not want to say it is just 33. we have a concentrated effort on the line. it is a high target area where we see the need for fair enforcement. supervisor cohen: ok. ok, folks. i am done with my questions. supervisor mar: i think we should open this up for public comment. supervisor cohen

ultimately i think that operations training which is not as i understand that are mr. mason really ought to be mouffed from the hailey transition. it's very odd for the transit operation system under the operation system. i would edge consider for you to we. we couldn't have a better training system by moving it that way. thank you very much. >> good evening, directors. as i look to the future plan, meetings and an x ray bill. one of our requests are separate that, june 6, and june 8. would show be only for the people. so the people that are coming there they're not jumping on each other's subject and they will not be concluding in the less possible time. which item would you like to put first and the item second. the second thing is about the council. it was designed in such a way as she intended to have the cap on valued holders. so it was designed in the way that nine people in the capital of the number nine. here comes three people who are are waiting. but as you come close to 1 or 200 numbers. the rest of the three drivers were taken from shadow. they don't care about y
