in addition to working with sf mta, chariot invests in the community. chariot employs the entire workforce half of them who live in the bayview. they pay for each driver to complete a commercial driver's licensing program. they pay for the cost of the program and the drivers to sit through the program at $16.50 an hour. we are proud ou partnership with the teamsters local 665 who negotiated good wages and he bar for microbers, transit in the bay area. they reduce congestion by removing ten single occupancy vehicles per chariot on the road. we're committed to safety as he ca -- accessibility with a fleet of wheelchair accessible vehicles we have and we have an in-app function that you can request a wheelchair accessible vehicle through the app. we're also providing service to areas of -- >> thank you. >> thank you so much. >> thank you, again, directors. i did spend much of the morning looking over this report. i think it's a good first step. i hope that some effective regulation comes out of it. but i wanted to specifically talk about the tncs and has b

i want to thank the mta for san francisco people struggling.will help them as they find themselves in a desperate situation. people for example like pamela who is a disabled senior who got her car towed for the first time for her 49 year driveing drive -- driving history. she paid it was unable to pay her rent and thetation and was worried she would be evicted. she went to project homeless connect who i believe was able to help hay p her rent and citation to prevent her eviction. the reforms that are before you today would have made a big eror pamela. people living in poverty have a hard time coming up with the couple hundred dollars all at once. these reforms before your will significantly lower tow fees and boot fees for people under 200% of the federal poverty line and allow people to pay off their citations that led to the tow or boot over time through a payment plan or by doing community service. it's my understanding the these reforms would have been in place pamela would have needed to come up with half of what she did and she would have

i can reach out to the mta representatives on that and work on getting you an answer if you like.for the most part, our streetscape projects incorporated any safety improvements that the mta recommended were added to those projects. some of that included bulb outs, including visibility. there was streetlighting added to some of the projects. intersection improvement, signal changes, all of those things combined, obviously, the paving and curb ramps also enhanced the safety of the intersections. but those are the lions share of the elements we would add. >> according to the report, 50% of the deaths in crosswalks are people who are 65 or older. so it seems like there is a population that is certainly heavily impacted by this. one of the things that is a correlary to safety for seniors is the accessibility of handicapped parking. when was the last time that you people or anyone took analysis of whether or not we needed more handicapped parking available? i know for example in the castro, right by the walgreens, which is a place you would expect to park handicapped, eight spaces have

given the amount of funds that pass through the sf mta and sfcta to the mta and other agencies, the c.f.c. has asked that directors of all agencies try to take some time out and come to the c.a.c. annually and share a report. that concludes my report. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. is there any comment for mr. walling. seeing none, public comment is closed. you may call item 3. >> clerk: approve theutes of the may 20, 2018 minutes. >> supervisor peskin: public comment on minutes? seeing none, public comment is closed. is there a motion to approve the minutes? approved by tang, seconded by yee. call the roll on the minutes. [roll call] >> clerk: we haveapproval. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. next item, please. >> clerk: item 4, appoint one member to the citizens advisory committee. this is an action item. >> supervisor peskin: mr. pickford. >> good morning. the citizens advise i don remembery committee is a board with each member filling a two year term. to qualify for appointment to the c.a.c. applicant does must be san francisco residents and must appear before the board at least on

also joining us or shortly to join us is karly jane from the sf mta who provided a lot of support along with nelson nygard, transportation consultants. i wanted to recognize tem as being a valued input into the planning process. i'm also joined by linda richardson who chaired the transportation sub committee and members of the working group, including alice rogers and jeffrey conda who was on the transportation sub committee, as well. again, some of this should appear familiar from previous reports on both land use and resiliency, but part two process including launching with the guiding principles that the working group adopted as a as a result of the part one work. and then, each of the three sub committees ventured off to do their work and come up with the individual recommendations through approximately a one-year process between november 2016 and september 2017. then, the working group reconvened, discussed each of the 161 recommendations of the three sub committees. sometimes there were debates and differing views, and in the end, the entire working group supported the 161 recomme

you can't change what you don't measure and at least my program or the mtas are trying to report out on how things are happening. we will put out a report an -- indiscernible. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. thank you to vice chair tang and all the participating agencies. with that we will open to public comment is there any public comment on this item. if so please come forward. >> will lead to the goals that -- talked about at the top of presentation, a mode shift away from private auto trips and increased safety around our schools on what i have of not just the growing number of parents that bike with their children and parents that walk and transit with their kids this does so much for kids across our city and we are excited to be a part to cover our sfusd public schools. i want to thank the agencies and nonprofits at the table and i would invite the commissioners to come out and see the school sites and see the work that those outreach and engagement workers do in our walking school -- and meeting spot like the excelsior hub where parents can meet and bike or roll to school. i

i'm planner with available street division mta. i work on bicycle and pedestrian safety projects around the city. this project here is the neighborhood project which is effort to install measures to improve safety of bicyclist. this was public outreach which is conducted over the course of 18 months. held four public meetings including a townhall with supervisor fewer. several events at the local library. like i mentioned, several public events over the course of 18 months. this was a neighborway project. eighth avenue is high traffic street when compared to urrounding streets. carries about two or three times the traffic volumes of six, eighth or ninth avenues. it does contain one of the dedicated at goldengate park. the effort of increasing safety and comfort for people biking and walking, we talking to residents and talking to f amilies who bike the park. traffic volume is really where the single biggest cause of the conflicts on the street. when you're biking on the s treet, residential street like eighth avenue, vehicles pass

the fact that in less than a couple of months that we have a program that has been designed by the mtad you have such a tight turn around i think is a measure of the degree to which the city collectively uses this as important both in terms of fostering transportation invasion, but also protecting the health and safety of people on our streets the ans and i wao applaud the mta for how quickly they have designed this program and the enforcement assistance of the department of public work. this is where you saw the city coming together to recognize that this is important for our city. one more question. >> how many -- [indiscernible] >> three. we have had heard rumors of more that will be applying so you have heard the three that are out there. >> will you be likely to not get a permit based on behavior so far? >> i don't want to speak for the msa director and we don't know who is going to apply yet. >> is there past behavior that would preclude them from getting a permit. >> i don't want to prejudice the application and review process. we have some information about the three that we do

and the mta has been unresponsive to them. most drivers have giv up the mta don b to go. there was a consultant's report put out in the last couple of weeks, completely dropped the ball, did not discuss it. re ithis is an issue not only , i sans an issue in new york and other places. last week the "new york times" wrote an editorial which entitled what will new york do about its uber problem, and i would like to read you just two sentences from that editorial. says over time the city should consider whether it owes something to drivers who sunk their savings into taxi medallions. many drivers went into debt to buy these permits because the city promised them a monopoly on picking up passengers a promise it has not been able to keep. so, the situation here in san francisco is far worse because these drivers who bought the medallio medallions were on a waiting list, many for 10, 15 years or more, the city pulled away the right to a medallion at a nominal price and forced them to buy these things for $250,000. so, the city needs

we have made it clear that as of june 4 they have to be off of city sts and think the mta director has made it quite clear that past behavior will be taken into account in terms of the application process, so i think it will behoove everybody to follow the directive issued today by having them off public street it is on june 4 and in the event they are not the mta director will review that behavior and i will reserve the right to do anything legally to make sure that the law is followed that i need to do. thank yo sfgovtv.org. >> neighborhoods and san francisco as exists and fascist as the people that i think inhabitable habit them the bay area continues to change for the better as new start up businesses with local collaborative spaces the as the community appeal is growing too. >> what anchors me to the community i serve is a terminal connection this is the main artery of the southeast neighborhood that goes around visitacion valley and straight down past the ball park and into the south of market this corridor the hub of all activity happening in san francisco. >> i'm barbara garcia

we have made it clear that as of june 4 they have to be off of city streets and i think the mta director has made it qe clear that pastehavllenak into account in terms of the application process, so i think it will behoove everybody to follow the directive issued today by having them off public street it is on june 4 and in the event they are not the mta director will review that behavior and i will reserve the right to do anything legally to make sure that the law is followed that i need to do. thank you. >> supervisor breeood afternoon. welcome to the board of supervisors meeting for tuesday, june 5, 2018. madam clerk, please call the roll. [roll call]

we have made itclear that of june 4 they have to be off of city streets and i think the mta director has made it quite clear that past behavior will be taken into account in terms of the application process, so i think it will behoove everybody to follow the directive issued today by having them off public street it is on june 4 and in the event they are not the mta director will review that behavior and i will reserve the right to do anything legally to make sure that the law is followed that i need to do. thank you. >> when i open up the paper every day, i'm just amazed at whoany different environmental issues keep popping up. when i think about what planet i want to leave for my children and other generations, i think about what kind of contribution i can make on a personal level to the environment. >> it was really easy to sign up for the program. i just went online to cleanpowersf.org, i signed up and then started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going switch over and poof it happened. now when i want to pay my bill, i go to pg&e and i don't see any difference in

under supervisor -- i think that could go in two different directions, the mta board -- what the mta would public on monday and tuesday in the chronicle, wednesday and thursday in the examiner, friday in the chronicle or the board could give discretion to the clerk and ota on how those type of situations would be handled in order to maximize notice. >> i think that the ability to, again, use the examiner as the primary paper and publish to the max the maximum amount of time that we are able to do it in advance in those particular days, why would that be any different i think than what we are doing right now? because i guess it happened -- like the examiner -- and i think the point was made that the changn publication of the examiner happened midway through the contract and soaybe we could receive an explanation as to how we had handled it before this was brought to our attention today. >> madame president, angela clevio, clerk of the board. the good news is there has not been any 4 hour -- any 24 hour request for meetings so we haven't had to notice anything in the newspaper on a 24

we received a grant with mta to look at the 22nd street alignment. as was mentioned earlier, bart was looking at a cross bay analysis to look at connections to the east bay. all of these things are happening at the same time right now. we need to be coordinated. we are working on systems for coordinating our efforts and making sure that we are on the same page as we move forward. thank you for your time. thank you for your attention. i really appreciate it. i'd be happy to answer any questns. if i might, i'll offer the podium for a minute to ron who is the chair of the citizens working group who would like to make a few comments as well. thank you. >> thank you, john. >> thank you, john. director, good to sue you again. it's my pleasure and privilege to chair the citizens working group. particularly applieied because was around and active in the beginnings of bart. to be around and active in a new generation of transit that expands beyond san francisco and the bay area to the rest of the state is a true pleasure. the working group started in 2016. ab

legislation that sets in place the requirement for a scooter sharing program to be permitted by the mta. and there are certain requirements that are inside that legislation about what the fee structure would be for scooters applying for permits, where scooters can be parked, what we would like to learn from them in their applications about their service area and how they woud operate and how they'll educate their users about proper use. and then there's a third step which is for us to develop the actual permit application and permit requirements. and the director of transportation, who's the director of my agency, has the authority to make some further specifications beyond what's in the legislation. so where we are right now in the process is that we're working really hard on developing both the application, which is where the scooter companies will tell us how they plan to approach a number of aspects of their programs, and a list of requirements where they say if you are issued a permit, we expect you to sign terms and conditions that will include all of these requirements. that's wh

i recnd tha the mta and c examine their congested thinkig and be more realistic. >> thank you. anymore c , public comment is closed. directors, this is a discussion item only. there's no action, but the public speakers, we did, you know, hear,he hardshipst tncs are causing and it will be good to have sategy to come out of pershinklygestncharging is an ia discussion coming back is very good. i applaud that. that's going to be an interesting one to hear. maybe this time people will see there is a need and we can do something with it. director rubke, did you have thoughts? >> i'm sorry.than you. so thanks for this report. it was comprehensive and got into details on a lot of things that i thought werey reall forward thing and helpful. i just wanted to question the metric used in the accessibility piece. i think they were good in general, but i thought the first one caused me a little concern, by i think, if i'm recalling, the phrasing is something like the percentage of that services users who have disabilities or who identify as disabilities as having disabilities. and i guess i'

we presentedo mta's leadership and the mayor's getudffice.ng point supporting t changes to th towing and boot fees that the board is considering today and encourages mta to consider other reforms that would have an impact on those who are low income or ly vhnerable. we seee asmpor ant tt and w lokforward to fther pol cs i this area. than you. >> chairman brinkman: thank you muchve r. austin. next speaker please. >> david pillpail is thelas pe to tn in a speaker card on this matter. >> david pillpail. i was goi to make a joke about cern n about the car rl fees modification. i ise an seissue. proposes to revise fees that were just adopted in budget but this is a separate action, the may 1st deadlior the budget has passed. this is sepe theudget approval. it's a stand alone item and this was actuallypose as i unders a was adopted. so the seqa review that was associated with this item was back from february in connectio with the over all budg did not detail out the fees, include the specific set of proposals. i don't think that the prior approover

then go into the evaluation methodology that we both worked with the sf mta on. finally provide recommendations for our side and yours. thank you. >> when i say emerging -- am i talking lou enoh? i'm sorry. when i say emerging mobility services and technologies, this is covering bike sharing, car in sharing, and sidewalk robots. who knows what will come down in six months. >> who knows. >> last june, this board and ours adopted 10 principles for emerging mobility and these are all based on existing policies, plans, strategies, so as an example, safety is based on vision 0 ourrans guiding principles is based our transit first policy and finally as a last exam, sustainability based on climate action strategies. these are an existing city policy and adopted plans, et cetera. but they are to declare guiding the different services and their companies towards what our goals are so that it's making clear to them what we stand or and what loong for them to do. we use these 10 principles to develop criteria and i'm going to walk through thisar because it's new. the first

mta helped develop this program out of political leadership. which is an institute at the university of pepperdine and what they saw early on in 2015 was the something really special what attracted me was not just the project itself but the team behind it. deon in, candice and madeleine and the leadership from ed reiskin was critical. i seen all kind of efforts that start in the middle level of an organization and not ultimately been successful because of lack of sustained leadership. i ask you to give your support and continue to watch the great work that this team is doing. because that leadership support is critical and i wanted to share with you really how much attention is being given to this work from an outside community of practitioners and public agencies. thank you. >> director brinkman: thank you for your work on the project. any more public comments. come forward. >> my name is frank. i have a background in community planning and public engagement. i want to echo. the report was actually well done. it was nice to read and c oncerned

carly payne, sf mta.so one of the questions was i heard about the e and f line and transit in general and what kind of improvements we have in place. i'll say i am not with our transit services division, so my answer is going to be high level. i'm happy to follow up with more specifics through your staff. so i do know that we have plans in place. we'll just -- well, the board of supervisors has not adopted our budget yet, but with this next budget cycle, there are improvements for the e and f lines in terms of service frequency, which i think will be important to address some of the needs that you've heard from your northern waterfront tenants and visitors. and as you probably know, we have service service frequencies coming on-line in the next two years along the t line that's going to significantly increase the t line service. and i think one of the things that people really rely on in making a decision to take a train or a bus is how long am i going to have to wait? is it really going to come when i th

in addition to working with sf mta, chariot invests in the community. chariot employs the entire workforce half of them who live in the bayview. they pay for each driver to complete a commercial driver's licensing program. they pay for the cost of the program and the drivers to sit through the program at $16.50 an hour. we are proud ou partnership with the teamsters local 665 who negotiated good wages and he bar for microbers, transit in the bay area. they reduce congestion by removing ten single occupancy vehicles per chariot on the road. we're committed to safety as he ca -- accessibility with a fleet of wheelchair accessible vehicles we have and we have an in-app function that you can

an then they created the bus loop there, which mta kept on calling it phelan loop. and at that point, the community at large sort of pointed out what the phe name represented. mta agreed and eventually lled it the ocean avenue loop. this process for me was several years old. and it came up again, it popped up again mainly because of what the usf students were able to point out. and i said you know something, if usf will be brave enough to take this on, then i should step up myself. you know, hist is histo and nobs i trying to sweep history under the rug. in fact, the gentleman that came up and talked about we should make this one big learning moment, if i didn't bring this up, we wouldn't have this discussion, so it is a learning moment. i appreciate th people that actually participated in the renaming, even though it was set up for a short time. and again, i have no pathway, there was no official process. basically, the process is i submit a resolution to change the name. that's all i had to do. instead, i want today give some input from the community at the time.

thing, if they're going to be treated like bikes, there are so many rules that were outlined in the mta presentation around all of the places they can't be parked, but can we just limit it to they can only be parked in the places where bikes can be parked? >> co-chair blacksten: thank you for your comment. i think we have a second one. >> we do. >> hi, everybody. golden gate regional center. mstion is first it feels like education, community engagement, accessibility weren't weaved into the fabric of the business plan from the beginning. it sounds like the companies know that government and legislation is slow, so you just did things and then asked for forgiveness. is this the first conversation you've had with the city, with disability communities? how many of these conversations have each of you had to gher feedback before launching? >> co-chair blacksten: we appreciate your comment. are there any more comments from the public? >> no. >> co-chair blacksten: all right, well this has been a great time to have a conference with you. we expect to continue this conversation going forward.

general fund as a whole is the largest one, department of public works, mta, and then everybody gets smaller after that. just for a sense of scale. our staff size is -- i think we're now 6 -- what did i say? 68 people? and we have a couple of hires that i know will happen during the year, so again just to give you a sense of scale, a few more auditors than performance scale staff. the budget breaks down to about $18 million in the operating budget. and then during any one fiscal year, we also get about $2 million from the bond programs. and we allocate our costs so the expenditures audits, the things like the change order work that they did, and the work that we're doing with and for you on the public satisfaction survey, those costs will be allocated across the bond programs. so again, that's just to give you a sense of scale. and then i just have a couple of slides on kind of what's upcoming in fiscal year 18-19, and then mark will come and do that for audits, as well. our upcoming prog, many of you have seen up coming things on this. we've added a couple of new and important produ

implemented, but that needed to have regulation from the city in order to provide that frame work for mta to do that regulation. so in the case of scooters, two months ago, supervisor peskin introduced legislation to the board of supervisors to make it a violation to have a scooter share system without having a permit from the sfmta. that's now been through the process and that law goes into effect on june 4th. in the meantime, the sfmta needs to make changes to the transportation code to allow us to issue permits. that's a step i've been working closely are our board on to develop the legislation that sets in place t requirement for a scooter sharing program to be permitted by the mt and thereertain requirements that are inside that legislation about what the fee structure would be for scooters applying for permits, where scooters can be parked, what we would like to learn from them in their applications about their service area and how they would operate and how they'll educate their users about proper use. and then there's a third step which is for us to develop the actual permit appli

and that means that bart and mta haveave the difficult conversation about what we're not doing. and it's not to say it's not worth it, we know it's worth it. we have to have the tradeoff dssns. he feedback we've gotten has been tremendous. thh mea, all the e-mails we received, sent to our customer service. it has been ohelmveingly positive. yesterday i wasn't to see the folks over at sfmta to give a similar presentation. i don't get applause very often, but certainly people there wer y a they didudppla this effort. i don't think they're applauding me, just the effort. i'm just so happy, at a time when public transportation and our projects and conditions are so challenged in the city, that we've got some wins going on and it's really making a big difference. wan d to share thatith you all. and i'm open for questions. >> co-chair blacksten: thank you for the presentation. that's great. alex? >> council member madrid: thank you for coming. i have two questions. one is that when you saidbout the cleanliness of those two stations,ight now it's very clean around e they going to conti

it has to be mta. i'm just not sure in what way you guys coordinate on that stuff. >> right. so i think most of our stations have been in their locations foitea few years, and we have not built many new stations other than, i believe, station four, which is the public safety building on 4th -- or excuse me 3rd and mission rock way. other than that, i can't think of any new stations where we would put, you know, w analyze response times. and if we did, i think we would work with mta and with dpw to come up with a location. >> i'm thinking about mitigation. do the -- to use my example, when cruise ships come in at the embarcadero, they shutdown the embarcadero so the traffic can't get there so that people can get off the ship and then go do what they're going to do and go back on. so there's a period of time which you cannot move on the embarcadero unless you're associated with thatise ship. do you have anything like that for an emergency that take place where you need to get the fire station out and does someone stand out in the road and stop the traffic out there? >> so you'r

everybody at mta and ac transit included are fully committed for full operations by august. everybody is doing everything they can, whether it be ac transit, mta, fire department, web core. we are all leaning into it. with that i would ask jeff to add anymore that he can do it. we are just about at the finish line here. >> thank you, ron. hopefully with all of the retirement of the planning slides gives you an indication that we are imminently close to being done. there's been a lot of tremendous effort, you know, in the last three months when you were looking for commitment and we told you we would be done tomorrow. we are 20 hours away from inspecting so we've got a new nights, the next few nights and saturday so we anticipate being done on saturday. so our apologies for being a day late. i think if we can wrap up the paperwork on monday you can have the facility and look to come back here the following month and turn over for substantial completion. >> thanks for all your support and help in navigating through these challenges. with that i can take any questions. >> your
