and san francisco state launched the gator pass, which means that every san francisco state student, on their student i.d., is also a clipper card, and so they get access to b.a.r.t. and muni through fees that are paid by the entire student body, so it's a huge inducement for san francisco state students to get to and from school on public transit. so this is that big drop, as we've updated our vehicles and changed our fuel type. there's not a whole lot more that we can do here, other than the -- as ultimately getting to a fully zero emission fleet. there was a comment that john made about ridership on the rapids. it's significantly up. and overall, we're largely flat -- and we do publish this information, and it's on our website, just to the previous comment. we're seeing the biggest increases where we have the most service. we are seeing some dropoffs as many other agencies, but most agencies are seeing system-wide drop offs, but you can see we're not. we're holding rather level. we continue to work on capital project delivery. basically, we have, as you know, a very large capital

i'm curious about san francisco state. in the past, they've been kind of our largest resource for recruitment and just wondering how if we still have a strong relationship with them. i'm seeing that we're working with other universities, and just wanted to check in with them -- i mean, with you on them. >> yeah. great. san francisco state is the largest partner in our ihe, our network, and we do make a point of meeting with them separately, as well, because they are a critical partner in filling a lot of our positions. so one of our initiatives that we're working on now is being more strategic in how we place interns and student teachers from san francisco state so that it's more strategic and more focused towards our pipeline needs. so similarly what we're doing with our other pipeline, we're targeting t working with the folks at hr. a lot of this happens by relationships, that folks at sfsd has with a lot of principals and teachers, so we're broadening that. >> i think we're doing this with a lot of new programs, but als

in the neighborhood where my mother's house was near san francisco state college, there was a contractor who came in i guess and bought the house. he put in, we were told by people on the street he was putting in eight bedrooms for students at sf state. when you start this, the neighborhood is going from these houses where really truly they were family sized houses and there were yards for kids and so forth. there aren't that many playgrounds around. you can come out and look -- >> can i stop you for a minute. the clock stopped. >> i didn't hear the bell. >> president honda: sorry. i didn't know that either. >> it's because the clock stopped. we stopped the timer. but the timer is up. >> president honda: thank you, director. >> we can hear a rebuttal. if you have anything further to add? nothing further? >> president honda: thank you. >> okay. anything further from the department? >> i'd like to speak with planning. deputy director -- is it assistant director or deputy director? >> if you don't know by now. >> president honda: deputy dog. we've heard a lot about max houses. we deal with

my husband's a professor at san francisco state, and the professors are talking about when they have to leave. they can't hire new people because they can't afford to live here. the students can't afford to live here. this is going to be a city without police and students and artists -- or we're already mostly gone, and there'll be nobody to clean the toilets of these luxury units. and if you do a search, you'll find thousands of vacant luxury units right now, so the premise that we have to build more luxury because we need more units, we have vacant luxury units now. so if somebody's born and raised here and lived in the mission, i want them to rethink what it means to be gentrifying this blue collar area. retail in this blue collar area is not healthy. we need pdr and nonprofit blue collar spaces. we need planning commission to say okay, the state's tieing our hands, but let's try to see what we can do. his proposal, i didn't hear any of the mention of the proposal that i saw which said that he was agreeing to work very hard to build completely affordable units to offset this. i di

will improve and again citing mayor lee's legacy he was instrumental because again, san francisco is leading the state and because of the efforts now we have leaders in san francisco to push that. one of the things we know the state needs to advocate pore -- more leadership we only have 2% of the state grant but with all the bills in place now, but it's still not enough because we'll have to be creative locally to see how we can extract and we have the capabilities to work with you to make sure treasure island doesn't fall through the crack. and use influence to move it forward. one thing we mentioned and we know is about the cost of housing and also the entitlement. you were correct. san francisco is very hard to build even with the scarcity of land and i think it's a foregone conclusion as a member of the community we're pushing modular housing. it's no longer where we have concerted efforts that's the trend everyone is looking at. how can we put that on the joint board in san francisco. the discussion is not only going to be limit to us here but to the community. you need to help us to know modular

state. what works in san francisco won't necessarily meet in fresno. we have to meet people all over the state. so the action plan that i just referred to has five overarching themes or goals. so you could say government leadership and a big chunk is government leadership is number one. we're doing a lot of data work, industry innovation is really the kind of technology piece of it. the recognized value of efficiency is the communications piece of it. and the work force piece of it as well and then financing. somebody made a comment about the financing industry and they have to come along. there's trillions of dollars on the side lines, who knows what happens going forward with the finance community. there's a lot of cash and it looks for places to invest. we need to give it a value propositi proposition because the pay back is there. we have to learn how to communicate with that part of the economy. you're the ones that have to do the climate plan. we don't want to get in the way. so certainly tell us if we're doing that with the regulation or some act
