so that high-tech element of f parc was complimented by the low-tech and there is no way to measure this, but possibly one of the most cost effective things that we did in the project, hundreds of way finding signs that you see, which you see on the left. directing people, even san franciscos who lived here a long time, to get them matched up with a parking space and off the roads as quickly as possible. underlying all of this was an investment in a powerful data management system, which didn't just enable a thorough evaluation of the sfpark pilot, but was woven into our day-to-day operations with rate changes, contract management, ad hoc analyses, a true instance of smart cities using information to make smarter and smarter decisions and consistent request sfmta's movement in this direction. so that is what the pilot included and what you see here are the seven pilot areas covering about 25% of the city's metered spaces and 13 of our 19 garages. what you don't see on the map are two control areas the inner richmond and union street, where we did the same level of data collection, but no

marking management, including adding new meters in 2011, about 1500 new metered spaces in [stp*-rb/] parc and non-sfpark areas and sundays. the two bars on the right in gray, summarize the results of the sfpark pilots, the high performing blocks and on the lefted, the dramatic and stark improvements in available from either adding new meters or metering on sundays. to translate the far bar on the left, on blocks we added new meters, parking vacuate it was almost 100%, 90% of the time, but after adding meters down to 15%. as far as next step we're working on disseminating the information to other cities and [speaker not understood] and before i end, i want to also thank the board for your support for this project. it seems like it was just yesterday, but it was actually in the fall of 2008; that we brought a specific proposal for sfpark and your support for this has been county of throughout. so thank you for that. and i'm happy to take any questions. >> thank you, excellent report >> questions or comments? >> yes. like the equipment out there, i find it easy to use, but i'm getting commen

it's as complex -- it's so complex that you can't really parce it. it doesn't solve. it's like a -- it's like in hyper space. it's not in the including space. so i think what needs to happen is just like every other industry that had, you know, physicists and people who understand math jump in and try to model things in a different way. i think the military and the international relations needs that. the problem is there isn't a strong flow of people into that sector because of the way that the institutions are set up. so to your point, i think -- when i think about the institutions, i think about programs like code for america and others. at the municipal level you see some trickling in. it's how do you do impact? i think n.g.o.'s and nonprofits can help. at the media lab i see physics nerds getting interested in international relations, getting interested in solving a theory and modeling those as physics problems rather than text. i think it will take a while. i think part of it will be coming up are with the right model and having enough senior administration that
