on mta wanting people to come back to ride the mta. people want to feel safe and you look at some of the lines. the 22 fillmore is exceeding the post 2019 ridership, 49 exceeding. so when people feel good about the lines and it's on time and it's faster service, they want to ride the sf, mta and so if there's better service and it's faster, that's also going to increase ridership . and i didn't hear any of that in your presentation. i think that there should be a signal. and again, i know and you're looking at it from a financial point of view, so i'm not saying you in particular, but it would have been good to have the director of sf mta here to talk about some of the service decisions, because that also feeds into how the fiscal impact is to the overall agency as services better as people feel better about it. ridership has come back and i think that will also help drive the lack of shortfall. i don't like the idea of relying exclusively in many ways on driving revenue back up on parking meters. i think it's the wrong moment, the wro

first, the mta started the progress program in 2017. after a full facility framework in response to comments become from our staff through employee surveys going become to 2014. it is a 2 plus billion dollars capitol program the plus is there integrating electric the technology changes costs and methods are discussed in the industry. but our estimates have included this cost within there. and we use new project delivery methods. a lot of the things we learned over time to our learning projects we intfwrit in the this program. there are 3 compoenltss modernization. state of good repair. replace am of public facility and yards throughout san francisco. the construction such as new parking control officer headquarters for growing operations across the city. and improvements to shop and our technical support facility in san francisco. one thing i stress and this gets forgotten is the municipal riway with this nation's first publicly owned transportation and transit organization. and so a lot of the yards we have our over a century old 2 are

and that's how the mta was created. and for that the subway system was taken away from. new york city, with john lindsay's permission because lindsay didn't have the money to maintain subway system. so that's how the whole thing was put together. so by the time moses came back, he didn't have a job and he had nothing. he could do about it. and it was nelson rockefeller with john lindsay who was able to get that done but had to do it when he was out town. so finally somebody said enough of this. we've, you know, deal with it. we have sent him out of town earlier. god and thank god they didn't have cell phones because somebody would have called him up. that's the point. you know i didn't read the power broker, but i'd seen the the effects of his work in the bronx especially because i lived in the bronx for a number of years and even conjunction with the museum him the placement of the museum where were we going to put this museum that would be accessible to the majority of people who lived in the bronx and really there is

provided by the mta with regard to routes. vehicles facilities and finance. and similarly regard to taxis bari pointed out. traffic engineering. and a number of issues at mta it is a busy and critical time and would be step nothing at a very important time i think it is important for members of the board to listen to the public and not just to mta management and the companies. and to respond to what she hears from the public and the community. so i hope she'll take into account if confirmed. and i do believe that the commit eeled need to act modify the motion at line 20 if you are intend to approve to remove the word, reject in line 20. thank you. next speaker, please >> good morning. supervisors i'm mike chen i'm a district appointee and for the 2 years chair of the sfmta advisory council i support for lydia so. i have known her for years on a personal level and public service work and believe her experience in planning, land use helped will able her to [inaudible]. i appreciate her multiple communities the chinese community. i urge you to approve this nomin

(indiscernible) all employee, so i assume they also use database server, and window server. we can follow up with further detail. >> thank you. >> thank you. seeing no name on the roster, mr. clerk, let's go to public comment. >> members of the public boo who wish to speak line up now and those remotely and haven't done so, press star 3 if you wish to enter the speaker line. please continue to wait until the system indicates you have been in mute jd you can begin your comments. no in person speakers in the chamber and no speakers in the queue. >> thank you. seeing no publ

they say they're going to go after the mta directly why didn't new jersey do that?st week that that's on the table. they're waiting for the mta to set the price of what this congestion tax will be they haven't put the formal price out there. they're meeting right now in a private session of just mta folks to decide what that tax should be on jersey and others from the outer boroughs and staten island and other places >> i don't understand why new york doesn't understand why this could be detrimental to new york there's still 75% of the pre-covid levels who used to take the busses to new jersey have not returned. the people who are coming back to work here, spending more time here are coming by cars. what happens if those people say forget it, we're not coming back anymore? >> you're spot on. this is why the manhattan chamber of commerce and broadway is against this. if you're trying to get people back to work and shopping in new york from new jersey, the idea you whack them with another $23 to make the trip $17 to take the bridge, $23 for this new congestion tax, pl

it looks like san francisco, mta.y just announced that there are going to be residual traffic impacts downtown as well. so people who are i'm planning to head out in the downtown area in san francisco. you can expect some traffic impacts because of this activity happening on the bay bridge and sf muni service is also expected to be affected people expecting help on the mta. they may see some delays and extended wait times. >> again, this is all related to some kind of police activity of a bunch of officers who have convened in the area. you know, imagine if you're going from san francisco to the oakland side, you're headed eastbound on the bay bridge, the connector area. if you're trying to get from 80 there, 2 southbound 80. that is where police activity you know, really stop things at a standstill during rush hour tonight. this is a different vantage point. you can see the left side there shows traffic at a standstill again trying to go eastbound. yeah. and the chp. >> they are. they're calling this a severe traffic

mta has introduced new rules about extending parking rates and potentially increasing parking rates. and so as this had gone forward as an initial call it, a pilot, if you will, we wanted to be sure what the rates would be . and so i don't know if that 100% answers your question, but i was giving you the broader context about our thinking around introducing this framework, the pricing framework . yeah. i think it's i think it's interesting. i'm just not sure i want to get into the business of becoming a an hourly parking rate expert and requesting that folks kind of come back to the commission for if they did excuse me, if they did want to change it, what would we evaluate that against? it just, you know, it's a it's a new concept. and again, i'm not i'm not totally sure we have value add and i'm not sure yet what the like that we don't have sufficient controls already in place regarding since we do have commercial garages in mission bay that already face these challenges. are we are those again, like insufficient or do we have concerns around tools we already have use in our in our

what was the reaction from folks from the mta? what did you want them to take from this tour? i wanted them to feel what we feel every day so when they think about adding more traffic here to reduce traffic in midtown manhattan, what will that mean to the lives of people who live here? emerita torres is vice president for policy research and advocacy at the community service society of new york, which conducted studies on the economic impact of congestion pricing in terms of congeststion pricining, thatt billion dollars, it's going to go to the mta system. on the whole, the majority of new yorkers will benefit from the plan because the majority of new yorkers use public transportation to get around inn new w york city.y. ohoh, this is s interestining. commununity leaders contininue o pupush for plalans to relilieve pollution,n, reroutingng commerl trtraffic and d local younungsto continue t to strugglele with asthma. so thihis is from m 20 years a , but these are e all the sasame issueses. yeyes, increasasing asthmama ina popopulation t that releasased 0 years has s been deali

welcome to the mta cable car carpentry shop.here cable cars are born and brought back to life. they've survived earthquakes. they've survived fires. they've survived depression, you know, and they just keep trundling up and down the hills. every piece built by hand and assembled here. truth is, like keeping them on our tracks is a labor of love. these mta workers are not only carpenters, but some may even call them history friends. so this car arrived here about a year and a half ago to honor their history. this year, san francisco is celebrating 150 years of cable cars opening the doors of their carpentry shop to the public. when we got here, the tour was sold out with 50 people in line. i don't think they let anybody in. this is only the first friday of the month for three months, and this is the second one. so there's one more time. i think in august and that's going to be it. we sat with the youngest cable car enthusiast on the tour. i mean, do you think the cable cars look 150 years old? they pretty much look like they look

but all in-house within public works. >> i see for mta and public works as well? >> mta mainly have facilities and rail, so facilities is buildings, but we also work on the rail side if along the rail lines there are fences that need to be repaired or issues like that-it is just different agencies within the same agency, and for public health, there's different agencies within them. sometimes for the clinics and their facilities, other times it is for safe sleep sites and things of that nature. >> thank you. >> yes, sir. >> one quick question. thank you. for the waiting client approval, it is at 20 percent, how long do we-does it usually take for those approvals to turn into-get the approval? is it a couple months? i noticed the last time we got this prezen sentation, we had 48 and now 49. all the ones from the last time still haven't been approved, so just wondering on average how long it usually takes? >> it depends on the agencies. some agencies tend to shop you around and kind of find the funds. usually it about 18 # 180 days. it expires and then we have to re

city add administrators office to public works, mta and puc. there were 2 groups that were part of this effort. a round table consisting of then individuals. all throughout the organizations and then there was a management working group, which consisted of over 21 individuals. we look at the organizations that are listed i wanted give highlight on the number of individual this is put time and effort in not only giving guidance but putting hours and months of effort into -- getting you to this point. next slide. so the approach started with that executive round table quick off short low after -- this board issued the directives. and then consisted of multiple work shops, surveys. there were 3 workshops this were highlighted. but the approach was to look at case studies and, projects to try to garth up lessons learned. and translating that to common themes. there was a capitol project survey. and there was also surveys in third party interviews amongst the different organizations but also with certain individuals that might have had positions wit

congestion and the mta in new york city has admitted it. this is a financial fix more than it is an environmental fix and the loser here rid now are new jersey commuters and new jersey communities, and i will not let that stand. we have, in fact, filed soon against the federal highway administration. god willing we land on a good place and it's not like we don't have good bonafieds, margaret and we care deeply about it. this is bad for the environment in new jersey, not good for it. >> if it's bad for the environment then tell me why the mta said that the 4,000 page environmental assessment was supervised at every stage and specifically approved by the biden administration. the governor of new york says this is happening and environmentalists have studdied it. >> not so fast. they took a short cut in the federal highway administration. what they should have done with us at the table given how it impacts new jersey and this is what they're suing for is to do a full-blown environmental impact study. that may take a while, but it's worth it an

that was true for the mta, that is true for letting the government come september.doing is facing the challenges of this country. >> one of those amendments, congressman, plus the amendment on abortion, which was inspired by republican senator tommy tuberville, who's been blocking promotions of generals and admirals over to his opposition to how the defense department handles abortions. in an op-ed for msnbc, sandy duckworth and unwrap -- this play is shameful and disgraceful, misogynistic and statistics, self interested, yet subdividing. in other words, it's a perfect snapshot of today's gop. if you would expand on, that if you, would in terms of the messaging from republicans like tuberville to military members and their families and the american people overall when it comes to something as important as their health decisions. >> absolutely. i think tammy said it precisely right. when i talk about my son all the time. he was an officer in the navy for five years. he served warships, deployed across the pacific. i mentioned him standing watch bleep at night. i know

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
