and that's just the tnc's. there's also the limo drivers, thbuses; you know, every other vehicle foras hire to be regulated. that's done by the traffic bureau at the airport. >> supervisor fewer: i find this fascinating since we have invested so much money into b.a.r.t. to the airport. this is fascinating. thank you very much, deputy chief. i preciate that. >> okay. >> supervisor fewer: i have another question about the tnc's, and you talkedt ou management. have we ever discussed that we are able to have taxis only at airports, meaning that we wouldn't have tnc's, we'd just have taxi only lanes that have curb access to the airport. tnc's would not be allowed to airport? curb access at the are we able to do that, and have we ever discussed that? >> we are not able to do that, restrict lanes to taxi -- or to nontnc we have a taxi only curb. we can't restrict to only tnc operations. >> supervisor fewer: you can't make your curb space taxi stands? >> the taxi -- they actually have taxi stands at the airport, so the

there is now a new effort, first all, to reign in tncs. you may be aware that four taxi end delivery drivers hav committed suicide in recent months over desperate economic conditions and that's causing the city to look at this again. a recent editorial in the new york sometimes abou"newyorkt to read you these sentences. over time, the syuld consider whether it owes something to drivers who sunk their savings into taxi medallions. many went into debt to buy these permits because the city promised them a monopoly on picking up passengers, a promise it has not been able to keep. so i think the simple answer is that the mta needs to make these people good and needs to find a funding source to do this. thank you. thank you. do i have a motion to into closed -- i have one more public commenter. >> i want to agree with the comments that my friend mark just made. i hope you'll bear that in mind as you convene your closed session. i just also wanted to clarify your action just know on 10.5. is that to continue it later in the meeting, or is that to

it's the tncs. they are loaded, loaded with more computing power than the apollo mission had and yet, we n't bld in -- i realize there's preemption issues, we can't build in a reliable system that comes them from bloce parking and buses and drivers as well. i realize we don't have a specific propo before us today, but for me, it's technology that's driving all of this, and i don't think we have to feel the responsibility as an agency to invent enforcement technology. i think we as an agency can require self-enforcing technology these companies have to it in befor t a that's a good point. thank you very much. eed ctors, any more questions o? goo t public comment still. thank you both very much for the work on this. it will be interesting see thiy s report that comes out. it's important workou'r y doing. thank you again, both of y >> thank you. >> we have two people who have turned iner cds. >> good aon, directors. for a chariot. we're very proud of chariot seeing ine emerging mobility report. while t

had no say in the takeover of the tncs, but this has had an adverse effect on their lives and i feel like it is also very inhumane and heartless to not have a plan to address this financially. this burden, if they default on their loans, it affects their ability to ever get another loan, to get them out of another financial crisis. and so i'm asking the m.t.a. to come up with more than just a -- what was suggestednhe report. i think i need something much more foundational. and until these issues are addressed, i personally cannot approve an m.t.a. budget. i know that our ability at the board and the way the charter is written gives me no option but to vote up or down the m.t.a. budget and knowing how the city depends on m.t.a. and people in my district are some of them wholly dependent on m.t.a. to get them to and from work, it pains me. but i thin the two issues -- and i believe because i came before the m.t.a. board, before they even adopted a budget, to bring up these concerns, gave enough headway time and also leeway time to come up with some solid suggestions that actually attac

but also i don't see anything that really ayadieseses the increase of traffic mean aggressor lot of tncs is that what they are called, that are all over our streets now and i worry about the students in my district actually crossing these intersections in a neighborhood which doesn't h lot of traffic and actually people in my own neighborhood are grappling with how they change streets because of the increased traffic, so i would just say yeah, i think it's a good start and i feel like i am happy to help work on this and i see some holes it in, but thank you supervisor tang for your work on this. >> supervisor safai: thank you supervisor tang for your effort and work onhis. somehow the safe routes to school ambassador that works in our distribute because inow there is three in the district and ours was only funded half the year and we serve some of the most under served schools in the entire city based on demographics and test scores, longfellow, cleveland, monroe, caesar chavez and these are doing language support and the staffer is a bilingual staff person plays a critical role. she was

had proposed e liminating whatever taxes they were collecting or fees they were collecting from the tnc. from some of the transportation network companies. that in a way that maybe okay because who knows what they were doing with it and what they are collecting it for. the city of san francisco or mta had to create a position kind of like the curb monitor because all these services taking up curb space, whether it's lyft, uber or carryouts. the city having to spend money to monitor this activity. i think it's totally appropriate to add a tax category for these companies. i support that. even if the puc stop collecting fees. supervisor peskin wrote a letter about this. >> next speaker please. >> herbert wiener, juanita washington. >> this is so timely. i'm going to the airport on thursday, to city of chicago. i tried to reserve a super shuttle. it's $45 a ride. about four months ago, it was $18 a ride. what's happening is, that somehow uber and lyft are the cause of it. they are jerking up the fees pip will take a taxi cab. i will not take uber or lyft. i'll pay whatever i have to. now t

[roll call] >> motion passes. good luck. look forward to coming by someday. [applause] >> you're welcome. we'll move onto item number seven, our very last item. commissioner comments and questions. so commissioners, anyone have final thoughts you want to say? >> final thoughts? going back on the -- you know, i think, in my experience, they always will go -- the police will always go based on what they gave to the prior owner without really thinking about the new owner, and sometimes, you know, new owners take over because the old owner was a bad owner. i think it's up to us to figure that out case by case, especially if we're familiar with the place. and if we didn't have any complaints prior in a while, i'm alwa
