the service will be modeled on sfm ta's bayview shuttle service which launched this past november and has proven very popular. the second project is a free on island shuttle serving treasure island and yerba buena island. this service can take riders to destinations around the islands including the ferry terminal. the new parks on your boat bueno and the sailing center that are a little more difficult to access. >> the third is the enhanced muni service on the t5 line which serves treasure island and the procurement of an additional battery electric bus for use on a 25 line. that project will be delivered by s.f. mta. the program includes the construction of electric charging infrastructure at the treasure island ferry terminal. this facilitates the transition from the diesel service that is currently operating on an interim basis to fully electric and this project will be delivered by rita will expand the bay wheels bike share system to treasure island and our project also includes memberships for residents and workers on the island during this period. and finally one treasure island

employer strategic economics is part of a consultant team that submitted a response in january to an sfm t.a.r.p. for as needed joint development program services. the team submission is currently under review by us of mta but there's no reasonably foreseeable direct connection between this item and future decisions or work coming out of that rfp and i was also not included in the proposal or involved in its production. >> i am able to be fair and unbiased in hearing today's item. >> good afternoon president. so when commissioners i met snyder of department staff today i'm introducing wade witt griff a previous staff member of the planning department but now the project manager for 50 years joint development program . wade will be presenting the joint development program goals and policy which establishes an overall framework for developing sfm to use owned sites for non transit uses such as housing. and a key objective for this program is to generate long term revenue for the a78 while also contributing to the city's broader planning goals. again, like the delivery of housing. so this d

he and hundreds of sfm t employees were out making sure that the weekend was a success. san francisco hosted two large events february 13th to 16th was the nba all-star game and on february. on that saturday was the chinese new year festival and parade. the eyes of the world were on us and the city was on millions of screens across the globe. the press conference leading up to the event emphasized that muni was the way to get around and i am so proud that we delivered on that call. >> we had a number of transit reroutes and street closures which we do every year for the parade but we had some additional security measures considering the high volume at the chase center. there were also events at the oakland arena and various hotels that we needed to make sure were all coordinated. the city very much approached this event as if we needed to be ready for all things including activating all of the operation centers. and so that was also a good test of all of our inter-agency communications and readiness and we provided a lot of supplemental service to make sure we could hand

i'm the sfm t project manager and of course it's a great opportunity to work with our folks at public works. they're doing a great job and we're really excited. we've been working with the community for almost ten years. this planning process started out with the central soma plan and also the let's see if i get this acronym right the eastern neighborhoods transport nation implementation study that's ian trips back in the mid 20 tens and so we've been working hand in hand with the community from 2016 to our legislation and with m tap with our mta board of directors in 2019 and now everyone's just excited to well for construction to be done to reach significant completion but we've been working hand in hand with them with our working groups making sure all that all the merchants are you know have the resources that they need in case of you know, some construction activity that might take out some parking that might have some dust somewhere. so yeah, like as folks mentioned earlier, we do have our website open. we have been having regular meetings with our merchant groups and we regular

market and this presents an opportunity for sfm to take establish a partnership with with another manufacturer. and one of the reasons why we want to partner with solaris is because they're also a leading manufacturer of trolley busses in europe and we think that when they open up their plant in us so will benefit from that as well so that we'll have another supplier available for trolleybus around. >> so here's the three procurements there are coming the first one the 40 foot and three 60 foot better electric busses that's what we here today for an end of quarter one or early quarter two we will bring the five 40 foot busses from gillick as well as three 40s and three 60s from solaris and so you may be wondering why are we buying only 18 battery electric busses and the reason being is that we received a grant from fda to install charging infrastructure for 18 battery electric busses in 2023 so we're in process of deploying that charging infrastructure. therefore we only have charging infrastructure for 18 battery electric busses and then i'm going to turn it over to my colleague here to talk
