so there are also peer to peer program at sf usc. it's a club i'm part of at balboa high school and washington and mission mission and everrett middle school. the one on one friendship between students with developmental disabilities with the goal of breaking barriers. this program empowers you to engage with one another to change the system so that there is justice for all students. lastly there is the wellness center program. which is pure resources and promotes respect for all students including those with different sexual orientation and people with learning disabilities. all of these support the program with providing students opportunities to succeed. so our committee this year is really focused on this as we mentioned before and we wanted to see how our peers at school how they viewed special education and how much they knew about disabilities and people with disabilities wechlt created this informal is survey and we distributed to 85 high school students and we found that nearly half of all the students would like to learn mo

the whole point of lyft it is a peer to peer ride sharing service.f i am driving and i am a qualified lyft driver and you want to go with me, i can swing by and pick you up and we split the costs. that is the idea. this is not that idea. i think it is awful. >> so we're not going to see you or alexis ohanian of reddit hitting the streets tonight picking up random -- >> not unless i figure out how to get the taxi and limousine commission to give me a license and fit out my car with a license. i think cory is probably legally allowed to do that because he is to be a yellow cab driver. >> do you still have your license? >> my taxi license has long since expired, matt. new york city has a history of dangerous and bad drivers, which is why the license requirement began in the first place. licensing above and beyond and not just having drivers, but a class five license in new york state. >> but the yellow cab drivers are the most dangerous and bad drivers in the entire city. >> that is not true. >> ugh, i know so many people who have been hit by cabs. >> l

a program rooted in trust and designed to mitigate access barriers through real time peer-to-peer engagement and local resource navigation. peer approaches which are used by other organizations including the augusta warrior project, team red, white, and blue. iava, the mission continues, team rubicon, and others transform the access dynamic in many cases. as such, it is my first recommendation that community-based peer engagement and navigation programs be brought to scale with federal support as part of an all-out assault on access barriers at the v.a. and beyond. leveraging this model further, my second recommendation is for the v.a. and the private sector to set up rally points in communities as well as on v.a. campuses that are endowed with trained peers, vehicles, resource maps, and tightly linked to v.a.'s suicide prevention program, the national crisis hotline, 211 exchanges, tech based veteran community portals and any other referral sources of relevance. rally point networks could have a profound impact on access in any geography. as a final point, i want to highlight a major partne

and so, some of you are familiar with get around is a peer to peer car sharing platform and so basically our get around connect technology turns any car into a connected car and so that means that an individual can walk outside, and find and rent and unlock a car from their phone or from our web app and it is free to sign up and no membership cost and it is a mission, driven company and the mission is a real alternative to car ownership and much like the city car owns zip car and one of the things that is really important to think about is because we are using real people's cars who live in these neighborhoods we are not injecting any more cars in the neighborhoods the cars are already there and enables them to share the car when they are not using it with other neighbors in the community and so in instances where there might be opposition around at the high level saying there is a parking spot that is used what we know in fact that 9 to 13 cars will be offset because of this. and also, that the cars from get around are already there and the second piece is that it is peer to peer, the c

finally around get around's particular value here, what is really exciting because we're a peer-to-peer platform, these vehicles are actually owned by people who live in these neighborhoods so we're not injecting more cars that are there, but activating them and turning them into car sharing vehicles. people can offset those costs and spend locally. so we selected the locations based on demand and also public support. as christiana mentioned, we have hundreds and hundreds of signatures of support from front-facing businesses, homeowners, and residents who live exactly where the locations are. thank you. >> thank you.

you don't peer review yourself. i would look at maybe an organization like the government accountability office, maybe finding -- setting up some sort of oversight panel of health care professionals. one of the things i will tell you that va employees talk about is during the financial crisis, there was talk about bringing people like elizabeth warren. during the talk about national security issues, they talked about bringing back dr. gates. when we had the crisis in va, we were sent the deputy chief of staff, and it's no disrespect to mr. nabors, but where is the medical leader that's going to come rescue health issues at the nation's largest health organization and i think that's the issue. it goes to the issue of how people look at va. one of the reasons why i reached out to the white house was because i was trying to find the person who could answer questions and resolve this issue. we have almost a czar for almost everything you can imagine in this town, but not one for veterans, and i think that's the issue. t

our first public open house is july 14th on peer 1 and follow-up with workshops as well as additional open houses with the one-on-one conversations and presentations that i referenced earlier. finally, i wanted to give attention to the team family that's been working together and look forward to working harder to deliver a successful project >> thank you. thank you. >> do the representatives from the port or dpw want to make comment? >> good afternoon, commissioners my name is a diane i'm with the ports planning and development team and it's a high pleasure to be here today to launch this project we're very excited about it's opportunities for taking a fresh look at the embarcadero to see were there might be some facelifts for the overall dine quality but there's operational and business concerns about the conditions that have developed that we've seen particularly within the last few years i think the america's cup brought to a head the property and the volumes of people and frankly the need for a more predictability about how one ghettos around the embarcadero we're excited about pa

i know we have peer resources, but not all kids are within the peer resources program so that's -- i want to know how students are involved because i actually some saw some great examples of what's happening in oakland at our symposium and i believe that was a great sharing space of what they're doing with lack of resources and what they're able to accomplish, but also what we've been able to do with very targeted for their understanding. first off, about student's involvement, whether they're in a particular group that does this work or not, how do we get this information to them and how do they participate as team members. and i'm curious about the symposium and what we took away from that. >> so the students are defined in the process in developing the expectations alongside the teachers and the other staff members at each school site. and so where we go from there is teachers develop lesson plans to teach the students' expectations based on specific locations within the school. and in order to enforce those expectations they develop positive behavior incentives so that might be e

we've hired 914 peer support counselors since last year. they are veterans recovering from a situation in their own lives. we are there either trained or certified as peer support providers or we will pay for that training. they are employed across va medical centers. we need more of them. we want them to be in primary care as well as mental health programs. they are a transformative source in our mental health care program, sir. >> i fall under this camp and i think dr. sherin made the case. we certainly aren't going to do it all alone. there are 30,000 non-profits to help veterans. they simply aren't very well coordinated. doctor, i would ask you that at what level of confidence are you that this time we'll get there? i have a provider in the community that was fees-based. he mostly treats vietnam veterans. this guy is beloved in that group there. he canceled his contract in the milgd middle of that after 30 years. so i have veterans who say, why did you cancel this? this one was working, now i have to start all over again. so this new mo

so that's where this sort of peer-to-peer business will flourish. we'll see a lot of less taxicab drivers in a decade. i don't think the taxicab as we know it is going to survive except in some of the larger cities in the u. u.s. -- displacement not at the same scale, but we're going to see a similar shift in people who are vacationing, but people who are providers today, hotels, and taxi drivers, they are either going to contact to the major platforms and start providing their services in that new way or they will find other jobs. >> or they are going to fight it and insist on regulations similar to those they have to conform to. >> yeah, but these regulatory battles never -- trying to block technological progress through regulation is not a winning strategy in the long one. >> all right. scott i know you want to jump in. >> i think the use of the terminology clear the regulatory landscape is a little bit telling. if you are going to build something that appears to the providers participating at the bottom live of the community, then using rhetoric
