the t.a. maybe we can draft that resolution to send to our state legislators but the time was yesterday to do that, so thank you so much for your report. >> thank you, commissioner. if i might offer one minor correction. the report indicates about 50% of the increase in congestion. >> commissioner ronen: sure. >> with respect to total congestion we do include some statistics on that. we estimate it's about in the downtown core about 36% of total congestion. the 50% is the increase in congestion frmt . the other thing i would note this report with the tnc's report was studiously silent on making particular policy prescriptions and we look to this body and others to provide us with guidance on next steps. >> commissioner ronen: okay, thank you. >> chair a. peskin: right. and i do want to associate myself with commissioner ronen's comments. at this point we're -- our hands are tied. so all we can get is information which is why i requested this series of studies so everybody can read about it in t

as i mentioned we're working closely with the f.t.a. and t.a. to help not just identify funds but to program them into the years that we need them. and then we'll be looking at other federal, state, local and regional funding sources, including regional measure three and additional possible funding from transit center. and i'll just -- i'll leave you with this slide of another perspective of how we envision market street, but i'm also available to answer any questions that you have. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, ms. olia. are there any questions? commissioner kim? >> supervisor kim: thank you for the update on market street. i know over the years, i have asked about the better vision and purpose of market street, particularly given the immense cost of the improvement plan at 600 million. and i think i still -- you know, i want to ask the same question i've asked before which is really what is the purpose and vision and kind of why is this a critical need? we have so many different transportation desires, whether it's a second transbay to downt

on the one hand is the governance side of it, which the comptroller and the t.a. staff and others can weigh in on, but on the other side is a strictly technical matter, which are the engineering drawings for the 30% design of the d.t.x. that should go forward in parallel with your discussion about the govern, and i think that if you adopt the resolution as it's stated, you should add one other organization to the review, and that would be the coroner's office, because clearly you will be killing the d.t.x., thank you. >> chairman peskin: thank you, seeing no other members of the public, we'll close public comment. let me ask you a question relative to some of the speakers. phase two, downtown extension, estimated cost is? >> $4 billion. >> chairman peskin: and that does not include grade separations? >> does not include grade separations. that's based on a 2016 cost estimate, supervisor, and we've been working with staff on funding to update the cost estimate after we do the 30% design. >> chairman peskin: and grade separations are worth over a billion dollars, $2

seeing no other public comment, public comment is closed, and the t.a. is adjourned, but please stick around, because we're going to reconvene as timma for one item. >> clerk: timma board meeting will start in five minutes. [ five-minute break ] >> when i open up the paper every day, i'm just amazed at how many different environmental issues keep popping up. when i think about what planet i want to leave for my children and other generations, i think about what kind of contribution i can make on a personal level to the environment. >> it was really easy to sign up for the program. i just went online to cleanpowersf.org, i signed up and then started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going switch over and poof it happened. now when i want to pay my bill, i go to pg&e and i don't see any difference in paying now. if you're a family on the budget, if you sign up for the regular green program, it's not going to change your bill at all. you can sign up online or call. you'll have the peace of mind knowing you're doing your part in your household

request is for $420,000. $100,000 of that goes to additional outreach, which will be administered by the t.a. and we are leveraging money from both m.t.c. and caltrans. the 22nd street relocation study will be led by planning. this is for $160,000. there are several special conditions included in our enclosure of the report and again, this project leverages money from m.t.c. lastly, our streets and freeways study will be lead by t.a. prop k request is for $150,000. and it will develop our next generation of major street and freeway-related projects. >> chair a. peskin: does that conclude the presentation mr. quintanilla? >> yes. >> chair a. peskin: commissioner yee? > commissioner n. yee: could you speak a little bit more to the bicycle education piece? the second bike item. >> yes, i will invite the project manager from sfmta. > commissioner n. yee: in terms of how we choose these schools and sustaining. what happens when you do the initial program? you only reach so many kids and then the following year you would have other kids. so what happens then? >> good morning, commissioners, my nam

i am aware of your request to the t.a. this week to look into state legislation. but in the meantime, what are ways that the city, the state and even federal regulators can help ensure that these workers are making a fair wage? that is the goal here. so we will be using a set of metrics developed by the transportation authority to determine if the company's labor policies aligned with the labor principle. metrics like earnings, benefits, or lack of benefits. and their level of transparency with regard to pay. one of the big issues we have been hearing about lately is deactivation his. and whether or not there is a good appeals process when a driver or courier is deactivated we will also hire a consultant to do a survey and peer reviewed final report and that will offer a ground breaking glimpse into the gig economy workforce in san francisco. we have already been in touch with a number of academics who are interested in bidding on the r.f.p. we are talking to graduate students from usf and berkeley who have expressed interest in taking on some aspects of the study.

first of all, i wanted to thank the t.a. staff, including rachel for accompanying me on monday, and amy, from my staff captured -- to treasure island. we got to take one of the, what could become a commuter ferry. was incredible how fast and easy it was and then to realize that from the docking station, of what eventually will become the ferry, that pretty much anywhere on the island, is about a 50 minute walk. just getting to feel what that experience would be like was so instructive. i just wanted to thank you for that. i would agree with commissioner kim's comments. and i'm excited that next week, i'm going to los angeles to study with you they congested lean management program to see how that might work in san francisco. but i am worried, particularly about the low income residents on treasure island. i am assuming they paid the lifeline passed today for m.t.a. , but no tolls. so this is a significant challenge. and 20 rides for one toll credit sounds kind of high to me. i mean, as a parent, there is not a week that goes

month i'd like to first start by thanking several of our commissioners for joining myself, staff on the t.a., and a set of officials and planners from the san mateo c.m.a., county congestion agency, on a study tour to los angeles, where we visited the l.a. metro express lanes, heard from their staff and their policymakers regarding decision making at a similar juncture to where we are in our planning for potential managed lanes here in the bay area. that was a full-day tour. we were very appreciative of the staff for taking care of us, showing us the facility itself, transit centers, control centers, enforcement points and talking about the thorough process they undertook in their planning, particularly regarding the topic of environmental justice and equity and affordability of a potential toll facility in los angeles. they shared with us several policy strategies that they adopted ultimately that we're looking at currently in our treasure island mobility management program, as well as potentially for san francisco lanes, should we proceed with those. i just wanted to also extend our appre

comment, public comment is closed, and the t.a. is adjourned. >> president cohen: good morning, ladies and gentlemen. welcome back to the budget and finance committee. i'm malia cohen, the chair. our clerk is miss linda wong. are there any announcements? >> yes. please silence all cell phones and electronic devices. items acted upon today will appear on the october 16 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. >> president cohen: thank you very much. could you please call item number one. >>clerk: yez. item one, item authorizing the public utilities commission -- each with an agreement amount not to exceed 14 million and each with a term not to exceed ten years from january 1, 2019 to december 31, 2019. >> good morning. i have a very short presentation. can i have the slides, please. >> president cohen: good morning. >> thank you. just as a kwiquick reminder, th contracts are to supplement or staff to conduct work primarily on the watershed lands outside of the san francisco. we're the second biggest land holder in alameda

morning, is that this regulation and this reform of the tax medallion industry is on the same day as the t.a.'s report saying between 2010 and 2016, t.n.c.s contributed to at least 50% of the congestion increase in san francisco. and i think that context is really critical. and i'll probably return to that at the end of this -- my comments. the other thing that i'd like to say is just a thank you to director and the m.t.a. staff who have been keeping our office fully briefed for at least a year on this. and i don't think that anybody loses the burden of trying to navigate the complicated issues in this problem and i have a lot of respect. i think that every supervisor would concur with the good-faith effort and our outreach to our office. that said, there are a number of reforms before you, i think that these are independent reforms, meaning that this board can act on one or two of them and against one or two of them, and not fear any -- any fear that the two that are supported are going to impacted by the two that were not supported. i think that there's a lot to gain here. the letter that

. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair peskin and i want to thank the t.a. taff for this presentation. i guess from my perspective as i hear from my kconstituents wheni hear about their frustration, the notion of a potential plan that is going to take five years plus to institute is not great news. i know there's a lot that needs to get thought through and what needs to happen here. i would urge transportation authority staff to move as quickly as possible to set this up for conversations at this board. i do think as i'm thinking about folks from district eight trying to get downtown, we have tremendous train service. but the trains remain also a tremendous frustration for folks who rely on them. so, as this conversation goes forward, i think we are going to need to be having a parallel conversation about how to get the j and the k and the l and the m and n all carrying people -- and the t, carrying people into the core. thank you. >> chairman peskin: thank you. colleagues, before i open it up to public comment, am i gauging us all correctly that we would lik

>> no, we asked the joint committee of the m.t.a. and t.a. >> supervisor safai: but you didn't go to the emerging technology working group that supervisor yee setup specifically to cover all types and forms of emerging technology? >> we did not review the process with them, no. >> supervisor safai: okay. and did you go out to community based organizations or neighborhoods that are currently under served by alternative forms of transportation before you put out your documentation? did you get any input on the actual application for the -- in terms of under served communities? >> yes, we did. we got that input in this chamber on march 24. we got that input on the our -- at our board on april 27. >> did you go out to the community other than the one meeting with our board. did you go out to underserved communities to solicit feedback? >> so m.t.a. staff had met with some community groups in under served communities. for instance, united save the mission. i do not want to suggest that that group or any group has endorsed the process, but we've d
