the policy objectives. they would provide comprehensive citywide transportation system improvements. at the same time, mitigate impacts on the transportation system. because the program requires an environmental impact report, we are expecting it will be completed in the later part of 2013, and it serves as the city's mechanism to offset the impact on the transit system. once it is implemented, if it is adopted, it will no longer be collected. state law requires that we update the study is underlying the impact fees every five years. they completed the study last year, and in addition to base rates, they have not been increased since 2004 and an annual indexing which is proposed by the comptroller's office. and has not kept pace with the cost increase associated with providing additional service to meet the needs of new developments over the past eight years. the current is inconsistent with the way the impact fees are assessed and administered under the planning cut. to give a little bit of background, it was first enacted in 1981. there was a recognition that build out what require

gosh we are here to take the talk about safety on the transportation system. earlier this year, the board of directors adopted a new strategic plan, and while the mission is to move people around san francisco, the number one goal of that strategic plan is safety. that is because no matter where you were in terms of moving around whether you are on foot, on a bike, driving in a car, riding on muni, you need to be able to do so safely and get where you're going safely. we need to make sure the transportation system is clean, and efficient, attractive. first and foremost, it needs to be safe. thanks to a great partnership we have with the san francisco police department and the great work they do every day to keep the entire city safe, including the part of the city that exists within our muni system, crime in almost every category is down. almost across the board, every category of non-violent crime is down in the transit system. the the problem is, there is one area where we are going in the wrong direction. that is larceny. it has to do largely with devices li

we need to make sure the transportation system is clean, and efficient, attractive. first and foremost, it needs to be safe. thanks to a great partnership we have with the san francisco police department and the great work they do every day to keep the entire city safe, including the part of the city that exists within our muni system, crime in almost every category is down. almost across the board, every category of non-violent crime is down in the transit system. the the problem is, there is one area where we are going in the wrong direction. that is larceny. it has to do largely with devices like these where people are not being attentive with devices like these and other people are taking the advantage of that. that is the one area, overall, a good story that we have to tell that is left to be addressed. that is what we are here to talk about today. we are launching an awareness campaign. you will hear from the chief and the commander, being aware of your surroundings. we want to raise awareness for the public, for all of the public in terms of being safe while yo

the change was called. >> that transportation system and a bill latifi was introduced this month. or maybe -- the transportation system was introduced this month. or maybe last month. depending on when we are ready to launch into environmental review, it is possible we could hit that point where it would make sense to delay. we will do the federal process as well. that may change the equation a little bit, although ceqa is the long straw. we will be watching for projects that come up with the next year or two. there will be a point where we may want to make that determination. market street will have -- the two things that drive the environmental review process are transportation and -- the transportation system of the latifi change. market street may have some historic issues that need to be dealt with. i am sure there will be a lot of people -- a lot of things people will find to be historic. chairman nolan: thank you very much. >> thank you. >> nobody has turned in speaker cards. chairman nolan: next item. >> item 14, declining to renew access transit liability personal injury a

one of the main concerns about the lip games was whether london's already congested transport system was able to help visitors. an estimated three million extra journeys are being made every day. so how well is the city's public transport system coping? >> big ben is chiming this morning. it's been so we've given ourselves two hours. can we get to the olympic park by quarter to 9:00? ♪ the organizers of london 2012 have described this as the first public transport games. so no cause for us. there are more than 8,000 of these so-called bikes for hire and people have been encouraged to psych toll the olympic park. but cycling in london can be a little hairy. and i'm no bradley wiggins. and 7:30. i'm time for something a little less strenuous. this is a 2012 games river bus. a journey from greenwich taking only five minutes. i thought we would take the boat because i thought it would probably be -- >> we're on our way really early. >> we're british. we'll go.

it touches on so many different parts of the transportation system. we were looking for ways to make parking easier and more convenient. >> in the beginning, we looked at parking throw san francisco, and her desire to price parking based on demand is how it started. >> for 70 years, we've used flat meter rates and short time limits. that did not always work so well. it did not make it easier to find a parking space. sf park has two main components. the whole point is to get them off the road quickly. and to create more of an spaces. we're doing the man-responsive pricing. we're obligated to find the lowest rate possible. generally, most of the time, there is one space available on every block. >> anything that allows muni to move more smoothly throughout the city is a great thing. if you manage parking effectively, then you've got fewer people circling around. it not only benefits folks that are parking, but it benefits folks riding muni, as well. continuously monitoring occupancy. that's what we used to make our android and iphone apps. it's open to e
