regional transportation authorities are looking for a way to crack down on those drivers. they say as many as 14% of drivers in the carpool lane heading southbound are solo drivers. that gems up the lane for legitimate carpoolers and buses as well. the highway patrol is stepping up enforcement issuing 39,000 tickets to violators. we put out a message to highway patrol to talk to them and get a sense of what they are doing in terms of enforcement and see how big of a problem this is. we are also looking to talk with drivers, commuters who use the carpool lane and see solo drivers and get frustrated. keep in mind, if you are solo driver and you see another solo driver passing you, that could be very frustrating. a lot of frustrating mornings for drivers. we are hoping to get a greater sense of how people feel about that and what they want to see done.>>> it is 6:17. marin county is kind of confusing. there is a carpool lane and then there is an and then it ends and starts randomly and then all of a sudden, you are in the carpool lane. >> those tickets are very expensive so y

now while section 909f6s of the transportation code states that the sfmta director has the singular authority to approve these bike share permits, we still have a permiting process structure that exists. i won't read that process, but these processes exist so that, as so not to give the appearance of preferential treatment to any company which seeks to do business in san francisco and to communicate with the public that we are making decisions that are centred in their best interest. i'm not comfortable and i don't know that i see value in having the only approval go through. the director of transportation as opposed to coming through the m.t.a. board or the board of supervisors. i will admit that i have a series of questions that i will ask the representatives from m.t.a. with that, i want to recognize director ed riskin and jamie parks from the bike share programme. they are here with us in this chamber and madame chair, i would turn the rest of the hearing over to you. >> ok. and supervisor cohen, who would you like to call up first? >> director riskin. >> welcome. >> thank you. good after

the methodology is similar to the surveys for capital planning and for the transportation authority. we reached out to 955 likely voters who based on past voting behavior are considered likely to cast ballots in november. we interviewed online, cell phones and landline phones. given the high proportion of renters, the number of people moving in the city we find it is important to encourage people to take the survey. we conducted interviews in english, spanish and chinese to make sure they all had pay chance to participate. many of the key findings of the survey echoed what we saw on the initial research we did last year under the grant you received from living cities. perhaps not surprisingly we found voters unfamiliar with the sea wall. 35% were somewhat familiar we think that reflects social desire ability by us. what you call lying, which is that top number. those very familiar is probably more reflectives those with a functional knowledge. there is an incline nation to not admit your lack of knowledge. there is an educational task to have voters understand the sea wall, where it
