with not only better transportation but safer transportation. this project today as we break ground on what i think is going to make such a significant impact on this community but also folks who live in the west side of the city, people who rely on the 38 geary, whether it's the rapid or the regular 38 geary, to get to school, to get to work, to shop, and to do the kinds of things that so many people want to do on our public transportation system. providing the geary b.r.t. i think is going to change how people are getting around, making it a lot more efficient and making our public transportation system much more reliable than it had been in the past, and that's what this project is about. it's also about safety and improving access to our public transportation system for people who are seniors and those with disabilities. i know that this community wanted to save the laguna street stop because we have a lot of seniors who use that stop, and going up and down the hills are not necessarily an easy thing as you get older, and we were able to do

we now have a council on active transportation, public transportation, rails, streets. that is our effort to recognize the changing face of transportation. we were on the hill doing some meetings last week and a republican office asked us, why should we care about transit? there is not transit in my district. we said, it is in your district, you just don't know it. one of the things we are constantly having to remind folks is that there is transit in every congressional district in the country. it may not be a system similar to what we have in d.c. with a heavy rail transit system. but there is rural transit in every district in the country and we need to make sure that it membershere, that the recognized the importance of investing in public transportation, not just in urban areas, but in suburban areas and rural areas as well. it relevant to their districts. make sure you taylor that argument to the audience. >> thank you. irma: thank you for having me here. we just concluded our legislative conference last week. we had our big hill day on wednesday, there were meetin

mr speaker, the transport secretary has become an international embarrassment.only person in the country who retains confidence in this failing transport secretary. and only does so because of her own political weakness. the public deserve to know how many more calamities is the prime minister prepared to tolerate and how many more billions of pounds will she allow him to waste before saying enough is enough? mr speaker, this country cannot afford this transport secretary. he should be sacked without delay. well, i noticed mr speaker that in listening to that, the honourable gentleman didn't disagree with the decision that we made on friday. and the decision we made on friday was to ensure that we have the ferry capacity in place so that whatever happens in the brexit scenario, we can have the unhindered supply of medicines. mr speaker, it's always a pleasure to see my right honourable friend the secretary of state for health, rather surprising on this occasion. but the usual reason for settling an action is to minimise your losses when you are obviously on a lo

mike zaag, with the transportation on ageing. our transportation services is a -- is a -- so it's a service that ties to that. it's rides to and from the center, so that's part -- step one of it. we do think that it is -- we are working towards trying to figure out why it isn't being utilized more. we talked with the providers. we're going to start quarterly meetings with them, starting this fiscal year, to look at service levels and to try to look at that further. >> president serina: thank you. any other comments? commissioner loo? >> who are the provider of transportation and how much it decreases it for next year? >> how much -- well, we have four providers of transportation. they are kimochi, self-help for the elderly, central latino, and then trans dev, which is also the paratransit broker, so they are a for-profit provider. and then, you spoke to decrease? >> yes. how much is the decrease? >> so we actually have not seen a decrease over the past three, four years. in fact, the numbers have just stayed really flat in that l

our transport systems are the backbone of our economy. when we invest in infrastructure, it results in a significant economic multiplier, with each dollar spent, our nation becomes more competitive and more prosperous. what is good for the nation as a whole is good for our local communities. we must continue to reinvest and revitalize our urban neighborhoods and rural communities, successful programs like the low income housing tax credit. i have been a longtime supporter of both of these initiatives because they have positive effects on our communities. the president campaigned on a massive infrastructure package, and he mentioned it again this year in his state of the union address. i have spoken personally, and met with secretary michie minh nguyen, and secretary chao, and they assured me we have partners. i think we have a real opportunity to work together and do something really big. with that, let me recognize the ranking member, mr. brady, for his opening statement. >> chairman, thank you for convening this hearing today. while too

they think about it as transportation. because when you're, like, taking a bus, oftentimes you walk down the road, the bus drops you off, you might jump on now to an electric bike or scooter to get to your next destination. it's no longer just i jump in my car, get out of my driveway, stop, drop off the kids at school and get to work and back. it's more complicated than that. and that's why i think i want people to focus. in california, we did it. in l.a., we also increased revenue. one of the things i want to ask is, should any infrastructure package include credit for localities that have taken steps to support infrastructure locally and incentivize localities and municipalities that have done so. california, we did it already. l.a. county, we passed measure m on the same night that donald trump took office. what kind of -- what should be included in the infrastructure package that says, you know what, these people are doing the right thing, we should continue to reward them for that, but also how do you get other states

the payout has put further pressure on the transport secretary, chris grayling.t a disaster, and demanded he resign. the country cannot afford chris grayling. he's got to go, for the credibility of our nation. and, my goodness me, the people working for him must be pulling their hair out. he stumbles from catastrophe to disaster, and it's just gross incompetence on an industrial scale. enough is enough, and this man has got to be out of his post by monday. chris grayling was nowhere to be seen, at his house, or his office, or his department today. but the government says its £33 million deal with eurotunnel was necessary to ensure vital medicines get through after brexit. the contracts and the ferries that are going to be available are critical for our contingency plans, so it's a good thing that the agreement‘s been made today. sources close to the case say the government felt it was being held over a barrel by the channel operator eurotunnel, and had it not settled, it could have faced seeing vital freight contracts being cancelled, and have to publiclyjustify

we're under the fast act right now which is the first long term funding we've had for transportation. it was on life-support for almost ten years. that runs out next year. what are the prospects from infrastructure in this session, do you think? >> well, first of all, thank you for being here and i'm honored to be here with my friends from the democratic side of the aisle. we really do try to work in a bipartisan manner to get things done. we need to get back to that. but when you talk about infrastructure, you got to make sure you understand what you're talking about, is it the highway fund or the highway fund and everything else. the hearing that we had yesterday on the transportation and infrastructure committee made that apparent. there was a lot of things -- everything from rural broadband, from airports to waterways and then the highway fund. i would submit that any talk about infrastructure has to start with making sure you have a properly funded and sustainable long term highway bill. i say that because the bill is -- the highway fund is basically bankrupt because we have not

we need to make sure this is not an urban centric transportation bill. the biggest issue in my district is a highway that runs around the outside of portland called i-205 where the traffic goes to a stand still where it goes from three lanes down to two, goes across a bridge, and goes back up to three. we need to fix that bridge. we need to make sure the lanes are widened a little bit. that would be a popular project back to jim's point. we have a process where every city, every county works with the project based on the merits. they come up to the top and then i have to -- then my job is to advocate for those. so, i rely on my state to come up with their designated projects that i would be advocating for as projects of regional and national significance. our traffic jams outside the portland area are as bad as washington, d.c., if you can believe. suburban oregon is all on board to get something done. >> let me touch upon something. as we're trying to build the width of support for a package for infrastructure. we're focusing on transportation right now

transportation is another one. perhaps the mta needs to do analysis of the bill, with the population projection, the number of units and what they're going to need. the mta needs to weigh in, too. i think mr. welch is right so we understand that. zoning by bus service. page 15. has any other city done this that you're aware of? no. okay, so this is the first in the u.s. my question is what about the performance of the line? i mean at what point do you say it doesn't come every 15 minutes, because it only comes every 15 minutes half the time. there is a qualitative aspect to this. i can't imagine up-zoning, down zoning based on bus lines that may not come. i don't mean these ontime performances run 70%. so what if it falls to 50? what if we get rid of a bus line? we had the transportation, we had the t.e.p. a decade ago where we changed bus lines and bus stops. the other thing, we're seeing increases in population and decreases in transit ridership. i mean, i looked at l.a. they've invested $12 billion in public tra

the transport minister seems to understand that. it might be something which was struck by this so if you refuse to think that. the i believe she said if you can't resist it if you think you can fix it itself. if you have anything to stop this if. john couldn't get an appointment with the minister but he doesn't want to leave anything untried after all the new government has made an issue of greater accessibility and transparency he'll just have to try his luck. jiang and his friend are admitted to the outer office. the ministers in a meeting they have to wait nearly half an hour to see him. the minister reaffirms the government is prepared to resume the search. and he promises to have the final report with all its many technical details translated into chinese. what you know which of us and your hardware are pretty much better than i did when i arrived i was afraid it would turn out like it always asked for complete waste of time but this time i got specific commitments i'm very happy about that. but neither is young who is a nor a

the transport secretary said: the transport secretary said: the settlement means that the bill for noepartment has gone up. live to westminster — and our political correspondent nick eardley. some viewers might be scratching their heads and thinking why is the comment having to pay out £33 million to eurotunnel? essentially, it is because of the process followed in this case. you might remember the controversy which was when this contract was signed with seabourn freight, then it turned out they had no ships. eventually, the biggest player in that consortium pulled out and that contract were scrapped. but, eurotunnel was unhappy with the way the procurement process was carried out. they took the government to court over it, all the government to court over it, all the signs indicated they were going to win. the department for transport must pay out less money, the government say they want to get some continuity and get assurances on the supplies in the event of a no—deal brexit. there are now many opposition politicians saying this is not good for chris grayling. labour are saying he
