writers almost half the people of the state of new york ride the mta believe it or not. we propose a reliable funding stream so we don't have to fight about this every year first congestion pricing. [applause] you actually know what it is. i am surprised. congested pricing has electronic tolling for the manhattan central business district. sixtieth street and south it provides total equity everybody pays the same toll going into that zone. it stops bridge shopping. right now you can take 59th street bridge and not pay a toll or to the midtown toll and pay a toll. i'm cheap so i go to the 59th street bridge but literally you are directing traffic to where there is a toll-free bridge and where there is not. basically that says everybody pays the toll if you are going into the central business district. no toll along the fdr if you're just coming into manhattan to go north or south there is no toll. that would raise about $15 billion in capital through congestion pricing is that enough money to solve the problems? we don't think so especially with the new york city transit

last few days there's been lots of discussions about the use of these funds the city portion and the mta and other portions. i have a revised proposal for your consideration rather than using the full $38 million for the light rail vehicle procurement, we'd put $19.3 million towards the light rail vehicle procurement, put $13.8 million towards mta energy efficiency programs and put $5 million towards small business impact funds. now, where did these other two needs come from? as you know, with the pg&e bankruptcy there's been discussion among folks in the building how the city can start taking steps towards energy independence. we have done projects and we put solar panels on our facility at 700 pennsylvania. they allow us to consume less energy which benefits us and puc because the provide energy at less than market cost. so the $13.8 million would allow us to conduct energy assessments in the rest of of the buildings as well as fund solar panels on our maintenance facilities as well as other buildings and projects as determined by the system-wide audit. the second item the small busine

we have a lot of needs and mayor breed came to have the discussion of the mta's ask.nd what we struck was a balanced approach to this particular paying attention to what the board wanted us to do which is so support not only homeless and the housing crises but the teachers' salary whether you're early educators or k-12. in particular i appreciated in addition there's been discussion recently about large construction we do and disrupt small businesses along the corridors. and i'm glass -- glad we will have revenues to address some issues we'll see in the future. thank you mar for bringing the amendment that closed the deal. i also wanted to thank all the supervisors because i saw everybody engage in this and for this to happen in the short time that it happened, i want to point out and thank supervisor fewer of the budget committee for pulling this all together in such a really short time period. it's almost a miracle. it can only happen in san francisco. did you have any more comments? colleagues, can we take this item, same house, same call without objection this ord

when i spoke to mta they were debating whether or not they would partner with lyft for the services. i cautioned them. you can't have it both ways. we see that this lyft and uber are competing with us in public transportation and we say it is okay. it is interesting when other municipalities are doing that. how do they strike a balance on this? they may not be seeing what we the magnitude of the economy and what it is doing to or congestion and the services like policing, you know, how they take away revenue from our public transportation system. how do you balance that, i think, would be interesting to find out with the municipaliti municipalities, i could see how it could be. for example lyft wanted to do senior service vans. it would be easy to say we have a contract with you and they would have liability for drivers and passengers and we would contract with them. i think it is a slippery slope there. thank you so much. i really appreciate that. i will call for public comment. they may have questions for you. public comment. any members of the public? mr. brooks. >> eric brooks sp
