we recommend that the sf mta called muni partner program, involving a designated shuttle point person on staff that would lead that coordination and investigate into public complaints and coordinate with the other related mta policies that are beginning to emerge. other things that are beginning to look more generally and how we allocate and manage this scarce and valuable resource in the city, that curbs base. -- curb space. an authority led project in collaboration with city departments, we are lucky that the region has stepped up to kick in funding for this project. during this period of the pilot launch, it will take 18 to 24 months. having it funded is really great because we anticipate depth and early portion of the program is when the larger level of effort will aspire work with stakeholders and the wall, the board, the public developing those policies around where we bought the shuttle's to be and where we do not want them to bqe where it is appropriate for the board to say that this is done can be shared shuttle stop. this one has a bus coming every two minutes. it needs to b

. >>> and drivers say that they are paying far too much into the sf mta system without enjoying the benefits of mta employees. >> there's a poisoned atmosphere between the cab industry and sf mta and that's no good for the city. it's hard to drive a cab when you have this -- this meat cleaver hanging over you just ready to chop your neck off. >> the two-hour protest was planned to coincide with this afternoon's mta board meeting. >> what serves as a last chance for the east bay's at-risk animals but now the alameda animal shelter is in need of its own rescue. christin ayers in alameda where activists hope they can beat a tight timetable. christin. >> reporter: allen, for years, the alameda animal rescue has been sheltering and saving injured animals. but tonight, dozens of these protestors out here with signs chanting saying the shelter is the one that really needs rescuing. >>> reporter: for animal lovers in alameda it's become a dirty word, outsourcing, that hits close to home for activists. >> had we been outsourcing back then, he was in one of the first ones to be put down because he is

we are very proud to be honoring the sf mta hard-working staff. thank you. >> that was a great day. >> actually, my own partner that works in the mission typically takes the n or drives. i was able to convince her to bite on that day and she said it was the fastest way for her to get his son said. this morning she got back on her beret -- on her bicycle. this is a wonderful program. >> moving done. [no audio] [inaudible] >> ok. good afternoon. >> i have linked together several e-mails from your correspondent. when i hear you talk about accommodations, i would like to say that some of the staff are failing the commendation process. i have already communicated how there are some operators that were told by supervisors two months ago and they have not heard squad. are they being misled? what is happening that it takes so long to go through processing? there is another question of morale but i would like to raise. i have communicated this previously with no response from the board or upper management, the failure of clipper cards to register in an att

mta. we are choosing to benefit from this effort. for instance, even before we drafted the people plan and a bike plan, the sf park, an interesting program that helps is managing traffic. we also met with the transportation control system to look at the big picture at mta. the goal here is one of the things that i think is so important is we get to test and pilot programs that we do not often get the opportunity to do. by bringing the teams and looking at their plants, we are actually looking at elements of what they try to do without stepping on the toes of the process and testing that to see how viable they can be so that that is one of the benefits michael alluded to. supervisor campos: thank you. colleagues, i do not know if you have any of their questions. i want to thank you for the presentation. really well done. why don't we now open it up to public comment. if there is any member of the public that would like to speak, please come forward. we have a very full agenda, so we will live it public, to two minutes per speaker. please come on up. -- so we will limit public comment to two minutes per speaker. >> i wanted to thank the sp

[applause] >> is one that probably a lot of you don't understand the intricacies of it. a good portion of that goes to police services, social services that you value the most. and what i try to do in spreading the word with our commissioners, the department heads, and wit
