i'm looking at a presentation the mta staff gave at the mta board meeting in april when we requested the permit term extension so at that time when we looked at a snapshot of the program from july 2021 through march 2023, there had been a little over 3 million trips provided in the scooter share program. the have been all most 19,000 citations issued and all most 11,000 311 complaints about the scooter share programs so that gives a sense of the 3 million trips, 19 thousand suitations rchlt . these are infractions administrateb in nature. they are not moving violations, but this is for improper parking for the most part, some improper riding issued to the company and the complaints are about little less then 11,000. so, that gives you-i will look at the presentation. i think i might have a little bit more-let me see what else i have, if you still are interested. >> i think it would be good to the public to know. >> i found it. you ready? yeah. okay. so, about 18 thousand impaurp parking citations issued. the fines that represents a little over $2 million in fines. the fine for improp

the mta has a outreach program. people respond time and energy providing feedback and things they want to see in the program but they feel the agency and staff did not necessarily take those things into account or felt their expectations were mismatched what they thought the feedback could change and what did change so that was something many members did. one thing i like to highlight in a lot of talk about surveys and i think some level of i'm not sure the survey is representative, not sure the survey reached everybody out there and think discussion about the-open about the limitations of surveys given the constraints the agency, you can't-it is hard to reach everybody and also i think few people are feeling the online surveyed can be gamed, we dont know who got it, maybe some groups got the survey more then other groups so think discussion from council members around-and the product area and not sure i never got the survey so think some questions of how is outreach done and how can it beimproved and how to make th

so i respect and appreciate the input that we've gotten from cities like san francisco, from sf mta, but i think it is important for us to remember that the status quo of driving today is not as fe as it should be, and that we should not stand in the way of moving towards a safer roadway future because of some of these isolated anecdotal incidents, which we recognize there is room for improvement. we are always striving to get better and to take the learnings from one vehicle and apply them across our fleet so that we can improve all the time. >> and professor riggs , what you say about these concerns about safety? what does your research tell you? >> i think what the data is really telling us is that per 1 million miles on the road, these platforms can drive safer than a human driver, and i think we should put into context that there is some politicization, there is media tantalizing this right now. one of the things that we have to keep in mind is that we are a city in san francisco of experimentation. we've always been on the forefront of innovation, and that doesn't mean when we

or from falling on to the tracks an mta spokesperson told "the new york post" that the gates will bethree stations and will cost $100 million. the project comes after a woman died in january of 2022 after being pushed at the times square station, which is one of the locations where they are being installed. >>> well, pot is now legal in new york its low roll-out to dispensaries has many farmers' profits going up in smoke. 300,000 pounds of marijuana was grown in the state last year, but there are still not enough places to sell it. the cannabis association of new york estimates there are hundreds of millions of dollars of unsold pot with 80% of it in the form of cannabis oil some farmers say they're planting less this year due to the massive backlog. last fall, new york governor kathy hochul estimated some 20 shops opening every month or so starting in 2023 but so far only 12 have opened >>> still to come, a look at good news the last week to start off your monday. >>> and then the latest international action that could bring back some more pain at the pump soak in miminutes. soak in

if we are fully honest with ourselves, mta doesn't give everyone in our city the right or full access to travel. there are certain parts of trade san francisco where it is still hard to get a ride in the middle of the night, and what we are seeing from some of the deployments we are doing, and we have been studying this for over two years, we have thousands of students for example taking rides in some of the crews vehicles, and what we are seeing is a real, and i will use the word supplemental, but we are seeing complementary útrends with regards to automated vehicles really complementing public transport systems. and that is really the future that we are looking for, this future where mobility and access to jobs and housing, mobility is like running water. i think if we use that as the benchmark, we should say yes to this transportation. we should say yes to public transportation. we should say yes to scooters and bikes and pedestrians. all at the same time. this is not ignoring some of the instances we have seen in terms of first respondes, but it is acknowledging that these are iss

some people don't do that but i started with the mta of september of 1999 and came over to cable car was a general sign up and that's when you can go to different divisions and i signed up as a conductor and came over here and been here since. there were a few ladies that were over at woods that wanted to come over here and we had decided we wanted to leave woods and come to a different division and cable car was it. i do know there has been only four women that work the cable car in the 150 years and i am the second person to represent the cable car and i also know that during the 19, i think 60s and women were not even allowed to ride on the side of a cable car so it's exciting to know you can go from not riding on the side board of a cable car to actually grip and driving the cable car and it opened the door for a lot of people to have the opportunity to do what they inspire to do. >> i have some people say i wouldn't make it as a conductor at woods and i came and made it as i conductor and the best thing i did was to come to this division. it's a good division. and i like ripping

there was talk of coordination with mta, puc, rec park recollect caltrans and other agencies. perhaps you can follow up and ask staff to discus that more because there is a lot going on in the area. as to the resolution, there is a odd reference to harrison street in one of the resolve clauses on page 2. the second resolve, but no substantial evidence the harrison street infrastructure improvement project could have significant affect on the environment. i have no idea how that has anything to do with this. that seems it may have been cust and pasted elsewhere and may want to look and modify it. no reference in the resolution to categorical exemptions for water and sewer elements. they are referenced in the staff report on page 4 in the bottom box but not referenced in the resolution. i would suspect that the change to the pipeline pipe is a change to the categorical exemption and should have merited additional review. it would likely result in no change, but it should be subject to some action by city planning and perhaps that is commission to confirm that there's no change t

i think prosac is no more or less important than the mta. citizens advisory council or puc. and as it said in other context,ir think this committee has been large for a language time and has had not reasonable but occasionally quorum issues. i think reducing it to something like 11 members one from each district and a mall initial either appointments by the president or the full board or mayor but making something between 11 and 17 members is more workable. and i think it is an elegant solution to have both member and alternate who can vote in the acsense of the voting member. i'm interested in substantive comments from prosac and to the extent this did in the happen after last meeting i might condition this matter again today this is entirely up to the committee. i do think the legislation get being better and the extent that a mall are sized prosac results from this this is all good. and i appreciate the work that has gone in this from supervisor supervisor peskin and supervisor chan prosac and others. thank you. >> thank you for sharing your comments. that was your left c
