mta has three advertising agreements. the first is the transit shelter agreement between clear channel and outdoor, the second is for vehicles and parking garages and the third is a memorandum of understanding betweenmta and bart -- between mta and bart. this shows the revenues associated with those three agreements generated during a 10-year time frame through 2010. you can see over the past four years, the revenues have increased by $7.4 million. the increases are largely related to mta's success in negotiating a financial terms for contracts, which in part resulted from good economic climate in place when the contracts were negotiated. the transit advertising generates a majority of revenues for advertising on city property. as a result of the audit, we found mta has demonstrated a lack of success in monitoring some of these advertising terms. for example, advertising for five of the city parking garages under mta management, titan has not sold any advertisements in these parking garages since the beginning of the agre

i look forward to working under the direction of the mta board, with the men and women of the mta, the labor organizations and leadership that represents them come with the rest of the elected family of the city, with my colleagues across the government's, from planning to the t.a., to the city attorney's office, the police department, working with the city family, working with our other regional states partners. all of them an important part of the transportation system here, working with other stakeholders within cac, within various advocacy groups. and really, the people of san francisco who really deserve to have a transportation system. what i will commit to all of you and to the entire board is i will do everything i can during my time here to make it so that years down the road, when we all look back on the decision of the mta board, we will feel like it is a good decision and we will be happy with the results. thank you very much for coming. it is really an honor. i look forward to serving the people of san francisco. thank you. [applause] chairman nolan: i want to say a word o

it has been a significant issue for the mta. i know the new directors committed to not only looking at managing over time but assessing our budget impacts and holding our manager accountable. he has had several meetings already about the overtime within the agency. he has received a significant number of reports already. the mta has given him reports. he has requested monthly reports, toning down on the details. he has already expressed interest in what to look at this issue of overtime. supervisor campos: the resolution calls upon the mta to actually develop a plan for dealing with overtime. as i understand it, there's not a plant per se that actually does that. can you comment on how long it would take for the sfmta to do something like that? >> i think what we will do next is we have a policy adviser group meeting tomorrow with the board. over time is on the agenda. we will bring this resolution before them and suggest that we put something together for their approval before bringing it to you. i do not anticipate, given the

supervisor avalos: mta? >> sure. the short answer to the question is yes, we are all concerned over the issues regarding education and enforcement issues. there is an old saying that you cannot fix -- use a bad designed to fix a bad design. our goal is to do things that are intuitive, when they make sense. we do meet regularly with the traffic co. and are going through comprehensive solution evaluation so that they do not feel so haphazard and about equitable to the users on the street. in terms of figuring out how we enforce those designs, we're working for a closely with taxis, except those services, and transit folks, to come up with a good bulletin to help everyone figure out how to use those lanes effectively. at the moment, those of the many prone to strategies that we have outside of our purview. so, we can do with the design piece, working to try to influence and coordinate. does that answer your question? supervisor avalos: i would like to have an off line conversation with you about that. thanks. supervisor

i would personally want the mta to grant it. commissioner fung: it is interesting because this case has dragged on for a while. there was some incentive in order to be able to -- that said, i would support it. i would also state that as far as i am concerned, for mta purposes, perhaps, in my own thinking, this is not as acceptable to me in the future to put something drag out until someone conforms. commissioner peterson: i do not have anything different to say, except the fact that he is trying to conform in the and to show he has a certain understanding of what is required. that would help my decision. also that we are in safe territory to apply the current transportation. i do not think i am clear on what mta's position is. >> our position is that when he became eligible for his medallion, he did not qualify to receive one. commissioner hwang: the m.t.a. position is to deny the medallion? your position as the agency would be for this board to apply the standard at the time he applied? >> correct. vice president garcia: that i

so, we have worked with the sf mta. the first arrows point to increased funding for safety, education, outreach for the build out of the remaining buyout plan projects. providing funds for the next generation of bike projects. leveraging assumptions within the plan, i will give you a couple of examples. proposing to use prop k programming for discretionary brands, like the fund for clean- air and the segment between interstate 280. undergoing design revisions, the cost is increasing significantly. they fired in march of 2012 in time to complete the project. another tip of the that wanted to mention was prop k for early project development. setting up by projects to be set up for other discretionary fund sources. the proposed amended five ipp includes maps for future design and construction. federal funds would need to be clear that the festival level. the last two slides just list the project. very briefly, i would go through a couple on this slide, developing the implementation strategy for bike riding. not long term i

mostly because of the mta. we account for about 60%. we have by far the largest usage, and that is because of the work of staff to get us from the delegates to the passage to the ticket vending machines to get all that in place that has really put us at the front of the pact in terms of clipper, which is a good thing. a couple of fee issues, though, that i want to make sure that you know about. the wheat contract the mtc has with the provider is written is that there is a monthly -- a fixed monthly fee in addition to a variable transaction costs paid to the vendor. it had been covered by a one- time source pot of funds that the mtc had. that source will expire, and this fee will continue to be paid by the region until we get 20 million transactions per month, which we are, as a regent, quite a bit short of right now. i believe the total fee that will be paid to the vendor that the transit agencies will have to assume is $100,000 a month. muni's share will be about half of that. the mta will be paid about $50,000 a month until the region

[applause] i just wanted to thank the mta board for the recognition. i just felt that i was doing my part as a driver working for the city and county of san francisco, working for my division, which i have a lot of pride for, and, yes, thank you. >> mr. alvarez, i understand your family is with you today. would you like to introduce bill? >> my fiancee, my two daughters, and my little son who cannot speak because he is small. [laughter] [applause] the lot on behalf of the board of directors, thank you so much for your outstanding service to the city of san francisco. >> thank you. the next award is being presented to deedee owens, a 20- year veteran of the mta. she is here, i would like to ask her to step forward. she is being recognized for her leadership as a supervisor in customer service and -- in the citations and residential parking permit office. not an easy area to work in, let alone to excel in. she has led a team of citations that in reducing the backlog of 30,000 citations, basically saving us money and enabling us to process those and colle

i think this is a point that i hope the mta takes into consideration. while it is difficult and challenging for sfmta staff to check these sites on a daily basis, i don't think anyone is saying that's what needs to happen. the public does have to go to these sites on a daily basis and it seems to me there has to be a way in which you can physically verify that the information you have in your database is actually correct because the fact is data is reliable to a certain extent because sometimes the wrong data is input into the system, but i think a routine physical inspection would be an appropriate consideration. >> we will look at that in terms of our prioritization and budget process, we will put that into the mix of request. supervisor campos: in terms of information about annual revenue data from the contractor, can you comment on that? do you have that information? >> absolutely. not only do we have that, but we meet with the quarterly revenues, the auditors reviewing it, and we also have the revenues reviewed by the city's auditors. on the revenu

our mta will be submitting its final breath agreement request to the federal government before the end of this month, and we would be working diligently to finalize the details through the last months of this year. thank you very much. supervisor chiu: our next question will be provided by our colleague from district 9, supervisor campos. supervisor campos: thank you very much. as you are aware, the comptroller's office recently released -- the controller's office recently released a plot -- a report outlining the fact that city departments overspend their budget by at least $40 million in fiscal year 2010- 2011. top city departments they used the most overtime account for about 97% of the city's total overtime, and those apartments are the sfmta, the fire department, police department, department of public health, share, public utilities commission, the airport, department of public works, emergency management, as well as the recreation and park apartments. in fact, the sfmta accounts for 42% of overtime overruns. recently, along with my colleague supervisor farrell, i introduced legi

you can see the mta bus and rail fleet is only 1% of city emissions. even if we made our buses completely carbon neutral, we still have a major obstacle to deal with. the issue is with our transportation fleet ourself -- in order for us to reduce our footprint, we have to do more different strategies and will be talking about in a second. what if we made all the cars screen and see what happens? you can see that cars, based on their emissions per mile, vary depending on what propulsion may have. but there is no way to get a carbon neutral car. you cannot get to zero. there are manufacturing impacts to make a car, shipping, electric transmission, etc. but electric cars do reduce emissions to a regular car. electrification as an industry is important. but there is another problem. it is important for this commission to meet climate goals, because that reduces co2, but it does not reduce sustainability levels. there are still too many cars. congestion affects our economy. people are causing major traffic fatalities. electrification is only part of the sol

a recent mta analysis shows that more than 50% of the public transit travel time delay on market street is due to those boarding times. new and expanded pedestrian and bicycle treatments. improving street markets at -- street markings and signs to improve safety, and make it clearer for all users of market street where the different types of transportation are supposed to go. improving crosswalk conditions to improve safety, especially along numbered streets, particularly sixth street, and some key intersections north of market. i would also like to add that i would start on something you and i have worked together on last year, and that is to begin in mid-market ambassadors program, someone along the lines we did for third street and for mission bay, for the visitation valley and hunters point where we will work with our jobs now three program to introduce additional eyes and ears along mid-market for increased safety for everybody that uses that street. i am a big believer in pilot projects to try out different potential solutions and before any pilots, though, we need to get input fr

with the passage of prop g last year, the mta has the ability to change those rules and take a bed of greater flexibility in staffing, including using more part-time muni drivers to reduce the need for overtime. i know the new director of our mta is singularly focused in making sfmta an efficient and effective organization, and i meet with him every week to monitor and discuss ways to meet the agency's performance. i support your push for an overtime reduction plan, and i will encourage directo

i do not agree with the mta renting them out as a pilot program. i like the incentive idea that if you take enough radio calls there would be no charge for it. and possibly explore what was suggested about the medallion holders being able to purchase the medallions or obtain them. i think they should be earned. i do not think they should have to be bought by people who spent their career driving a cab and putting up with what all that takes. as far as yellow cab not supporting this, i worked for yellow cab 20 years. i started there and we were on radio and there was no service problems. since they went to a computer, no one has been able to get a cab. i believe yellow cab is doing a concerted effort to make it appear as though we need more cabs and there is a shortage and their dispatches a highly flawed. i have moved to another company that is ready a dispatched and people are served. -- a radio dispatc radio dispate are served. >> our next speaker. >> good afternoon. >> these -- i am speaking about the single user permits. dr. fulkerson had call

i think it would be better served if we had our own division within the mta. i would also like to support chris hiashi being the director of the division. i personally saw last week town cars that were illegally trying to pursue taxi fares being ticketed by two officers, which was pleasing to see. i would like to see more of that on a friday and saturday night. i think chris spearheaded that idea. the idea of the taxi industry having its own di i think would streamline the process, would make it easier for all of you to get information, especially you, director. you could get it directly from and she would -- she has to go through channels and speak to someone before she speaks to you. maybe that would make it easier. it would be a better process for all. thank you. >> thank you. >> our next speakers. >> good afternoon again. i want to welcome you as director of muni. i have confidence you will take the action on these items. we have to get them out of the city. portland has done a, europe has done a, there's no reason why we cannot. traffic cops, we need them

the mta has $1.4 million available in the current budget. this was originally programmed for youth fare reductions. we paused the program, so those funds could be available, potentially, how towards that $7 million or so that would enable the free fast pass to happen. all i have been able to say absent direction from the board is that we have been open to the discussion and willing to work with the mayor's office and anyone else that wants to advance the cause. we have been feeding information that the board and others will ultimately have to make. i believe there is some interest in having the board take of this item. maybe i can yield some time to director ramos. director ramos: thank you, chairman nolan, director, and everyone here that was ready to, to the microphone and make this a much longer meeting. i would like to make sure that they really did want to get across, to have this as a discussion item to talk about where we go from here and really start the discussion on how to get $7 million and how to make muni available or free to yo
