here's our introduction transportation 2050. what is transportation 2050? it is a culmination of years of task forces, community involvement, community planning, visions for transportation here in san francisco. now the technical analysis of how exactly we can get it done. we have looked at some futures. we're going to talk about some actions that this board, the board of supervisors, san franciscans can take to help advance the vision we created for transportation in san francisco. as i said, we analyzed numerous different possible futures. we're going to talk about three of those this afternoon. what those three futures look like. we have done the work. we have had the discussion. now we want to talk about how to make those futures a reality. what we have come to find out is to get to that vision over a 30-year period, we're short about $50 billion. that seems like a big number. we'll talk about that. we'll talk about how we'll approach it. we can take some actions now to start lowering that number and start getting to that vision that we want. how do we

the transportation sales tax is managed by transportation authority. gross receipts tax on commercial property and rent, vehicle licensing which comes up every time i go to this exercise, grocery seat economy tax is the one we did. that was the tnc tax from 2018. we are hopeful at some point in time it will raise about $30 million. thanks to supervisor peskin for leading the way on that and when the economy recovers we hope to see revenues increase. you will see the range of what people thought was possible. the goal $100 million. next slide. we have had this discussion before. it was february 2021 workshop. you asked for a lot of information before we started talking about the approach and timing. one specific piece of feedback we talked to the public. our best way to get the most general sense where san francisco stood on these priorities this vision was through the community survey which we presented to the board on the 15th of june. we have had two meetings on transit service restoration. expanding to 110% and beyond to the future. you saw the stat

this is called transportation equity to address some of those concerns in transportation in decades past. then, this is putting investments in for broadband internet. rural broadband. that has got the support of the senators from republican states. that is -- host: that is the paid fours -- fors, if spent. where does the money come from for the new spending? guest: lead negotiators continue to say this is fully paid for. several transportation observers and congressional experts noting the bill is proposing dedicated to hundred billion dollars from unused covid-19 -- two hundred billion dollars from unused covid-19 funds from states who have unobligated. there is money from other, unused federal aid programs such as unemployment insurance. due to the pandemic. there are several other provisions, one is to establish robust task enforcement policy of cryptocurrency. there is another realm of funding proposals that is called dynamic scoring. the revenue from investments, your return on investments from this bill, that funding has been calculated in the financing of this legislation. to reac

from the transportation committee on the house transportation and of the structure bill. >> -- it is key to the proposal. we talk about that in a moment. but first we discussed the latest development in afghanistan with the taliban firmly running that country. welcome to washington post live, congressman defazio. >> appreciate the opportunity. >> and i know you are very busy drafting parts of the reconciliation bill so we appreciate you making the time. the major story we are seeing in the news right now is the collapse of the afghan government and take over by the taliban. how much blame do you think president biden deserves for that country falling into the taliban hands in such a short timeframe? >> i kind of went back and looked. trump, april, getting out of afghanistan was a positive thing to do. chastising biden for not doing more quickly and earlier trump said he was bragging about starting the withdrawal process and claimed the biden demonstration is powerless to stop it. he cut the deal with the taliban and biden was handed that. it is the right decision to get out. we staye

transportation planner. let me share. today i am here to give the treasure island ferry study update. overview of the transportation program and then we center m.o.u. i want to provide the highlights from the the m.o.u. and the ferry study, the scope, schedule and when you can expect to hear a final recommendation. the treasure island plan was adopted in 2011 to provide a comprehensive program to minimize and improve the transportation, mobility. the plan calls for new transporters such as the treasure island ferry and east bay service. in the map we are showing the different transit modes that will access treasure island including 25 and bus service and the ferry service connecting treasure island to downtown san francisco. >> excuse me. i am wondering if you can change the display settings so we see the slide that you are talking about. so that we can see it. thank you. you need to unmute yourself. >> sorry about that. keep going because we are limited on time. >> i will try this one more time. we have established frame

does it reinvent transportation, or just augment transportation?ention is in part augmentation. you will have ground cars. you will be moving heavy things around. there will be various things on the passenger side, but the reinvention, what was previously configured by geography, the flight or drive to the airport, think about getting around. now it is just the 3d of potentially getting there. emphasizing people and the fact that moving people around is key , that kind of reinvention, look, it is the same kind of reinvention with space. now it is not so far away. the fact that you could live further out and it makes that work. all those things are the reinvention, and the climate change in the sharing model, the accessibility to everything as part of it. emily: let's talk about that, the uber/tesla in the air metaphor is vivid. is the pilot a joby employee, contractor, and is that the best labor model at this point for a company that is still not profitable? reid: we have to get the service going. joby is the first to have a g-1 with the faa, the o

most of the transportation agency was devastated because of covid-19. people are afraid to fly and concerned about flying next to people and even with masques, it's somewhat concerning. some of it is far from perfect and how it is delivered. when issue i have worked on is the disproportionate share of cares act grants awarded to certain smaller, less trafficked airports at the expense of our major commercial hub airports who do most of the work, including memphis, the world's largest cargo airport in the world. these award amounts were based on an award by the senate that produce mastiff -- massive windfalls for smaller ports. as many as 31 airports received grants for four years worth of operating expenses. over and above so they would have four years without any money they would otherwise would have received. the wrongheaded formula was changed. they did not receive additional funding from additional, the two subsequent release -- release bills based on the endemic. nevertheless, the amounts awarded were far more than needed warfare. can you tell me w

as a cleaner mode of transportation.astructure, nobody will ever adopt a mobility solution that is electric, because charging in these big cities are next to impossible. and this is gogoro�*s solution to that problem. riders own special electric bikes, but not the batteries inside them. instead, when they are running low on power, they visit a station like this to swap out their flat battery and pick up a fully charged one. a subscription of around $10—30 a month gives you access to any of the 1,400 swap stations around taiwan. gogoro estimate their customers have saved around 80,000 tonnes of c02 between them — that's roughly 25,000 across the world flights. over in san francisco, one company has a different take on the battery swapping business. these are drive—in swapping stations from startup ample. you just park up and within minutes a series of robots remove the empty batteries from your vehicle and swap in fresh ones. it is an idea that is also being championed by chinese electric vehicle maker nio. they plan to b

, how we can help support transportation workers and critical transportation infrastructure we depend upon to mitigate the impact of future national public health emergencies. thanks to all of you for being here today, and i yield to the ranking member for his opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman. since the beginning of the pandemic, the government, we spent $9.9 trillion combating covid-19. $1.9 trillion has been authorized by congress just this year. some of this money was legitimately needed to help us recover from a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. with it, we were able to do things like operation warp speed, distribute ppe, senate -- set up medical clinics and provide transportation for essential workers, and i'm glad today's hearing is going to focus on oversight and look at how these funds have been used or potentially misused. unfortunately, a lot of recent funding has been masqueraded as pandemic relief. for example, the funds for amtrak, critical race theory and loads of extraneous projects, and now the majority was to add -- once -- wants to add another $3.5 trillion t

by the way, transporting products by water is the most environmentally sound way to transport goods. this investment in our ports and waterways, , again, creating jo, increasing the safety, also gives us a better future for our economy, a better future for our workers, a a better future for families, a better future for our country. there's $16 billion for the army corps ofrs engineers for, among other things, to address coastal erosion, which is occurring nationwide. my country, my state has lost more landmass than any other state inio the nation. my state has lost as much land as is in the entire state of delaware. but other states are losing land, too. i thought picture recently recently of the gold coast, the very swank area in the city of chicago on lake michigan, and it showed how the coastline had eroded over time and now weighs from lake michigan are lapping up onto the road in front of the scary expensive apartment complexes. this is not on the atlantic, the pacific for the gulf of mexico. this is on a great lake. i saw another picture of the beach off of north carolina whic

our surface transportation authorization actra increases baseline for funding our surface transportatione than arf third to $303 billion over the next five years. $303 billion. on top of that, the legislation will provide over $60 billion in new funds for roads, bridges and multimodal programs over these five years. this investment will repair and rebuild our roads and bridges with a few focus on -- new focus on climate change mitigation, resilience and -- including cyclists and pedestrians. every day motorists cross bridges in poor conditions in too many parts of you our county 170 million times. every day. every day. 170 million times a day. some 40% of the bridges in our country are in need of repair or replacement including nearly 500 in massachusetts, 3,000 in pennsylvania and god knows more in our states as well. at the current pace, it would take nearly 40 years, 40 years to tackle the current backlog of the bridges in poor condition. that's right, 40 years. .that's why today we have legislation that will provide a $40 billion investment to address our dying bridge repairi backlog

dedicated funding to states and their department of transportation. and limiting the expansion of urban transit programs and including the bipartisan bill that senator lujan and i introduced to clean up orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells. i was glad to see these provisions as well as as our committee's drinking and waste water infrastructure act in the bill. i also appreciate the use of unspent covid-19 relief funds to help pay for these priorities. rather than being used for paying people to not work and adding fuel to the fire's inflation, this does just the opposite. i thank my colleague for asking for my opinion, and i am grateful that they listened and included these provisions in their final product. infrastructure has been a priority for congress because it is a priority for our constituents. america cannot succeed without a robust infrastructure from one coast to the other, in all the places like north dakota in between. we need roads and bridges to go from farm to town and from town to city, from city to city and state to state. we use

you as transportation secretary, what's your role here?ransportation is the biggest sector in our economy when it comes to emitting greenhouse gases. to me that means we have to be the biggest part of the solution what's exciting about that, even though it's daunting, is we can create a lot of jobs, whether it's jobs big into the electric vehicles of the future that provide transportation or whether it's jobs in the transit systems that are going to help give people alternatives and take cars off the roadng t this is where we get to break the old false choice of climate versus jobs and demonstrate that the only way for a safe, sustainable future is to create jobs through climate action and clean transportation. >> what's the part that's the most exciting to you >> it is the jobs part that is the most exciting. that's something not just in the immediate fixing of the bridge or digging of the tunnel but the long-term jobs are supported because people will be better able to get to work where they live whether the thing that is the biggest bar

effort both sides have put in to surface transportation reauthorization. the end result reflected the good work be accomplished, and it was a perfect building block for the package before us. as you know, i was not an original part of this negotiating route, however, when i was approached, i made my top priorities clear. one, keeping reforms like the one agency decision that president trump put into place that president biden removed. it's codified in this bill for surface transportation. prioritizing dedicated hunting to states. limiting the expansion of urban transit programs, and including the bipartisan bill to clean up orphaned and abandoned gas wells. i was led to see these provisions as well as drinking and wastewater infrastructure plans and the bill. i appreciate the use of unspent covid funds to help pay for these priorities. rather than being used for paying people to not work and adding fuel to the fire of inflation, just as just the opposite. i thank my colleagues for asking for my opinion and i'm even more grateful that they listened and incl

we expect to maximize our throughput of all means of transportation over the next coming days. again, our focus right now is to maintain security. to continue to expedite flight operations while safeguarding americans and afghan civilians. we are proud of the professionalism and skill of the soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines showing under ordinary circumstances, and they are absolutely prepared to respond and self defend if necessary. many of us have spent time in afghanistan over the years and feel a deep sense of connection to the current events. we are focused on the safest evacuation of americans and afghans. thank you. >> thank you. ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking time today. i am the lead for the dod crisis action group for afghanistan for matters pertaining to the relocation of refugees and transportation of embassy staff, americans, allies and other partners from kabul to destinations. we established the crisis action group in july and we've been working closely with the department of state as the lead agency since that time. we partnered with the departm

transportation contributes a great deal to the ozone layer, and that was in the transportation bill. there's some things in the building back better bill that include that, too. but there was a lot in the transportation bill that made sense. we had a lot more helping us get to electric vehicles and high-speed rail. but the ideas that they will be considering are together, but they will also be considered with house input. we are an equal branch of government with the senate. there's a house and a senate and the house's work should be considered and we should not just have a take it or leave it with the senate. and that's possibly what we're going to be faced with. it would be better to go to conference if we have differences, and i think we do have differences, just sort those out and hopefully the senate would be able to maintain 60 votes to pass the transportation bill. now, the build back better is a 50 vote in the senate and a 217 or whatever majority would be in the house, and that's a different situation. >> so then if correct me if i'm wrong, congressman, but that would mean t

i sought out to bring us into the 21st century with transportation.s like a status quo bill. we can't perpetuate that. we have to deal with climate change and transportation is the largest emitter. my bill deals with it, for severe weather rise and earthquakes and the less. i'm not sure there is a strong resiliency title in there. also the president wanted to create a new social equity program because we divided a lot of communities of color and the system is aging out. he pointed out sky way in louisiana, it has to come down. well don't put it back the way it was. rejoin the community. there are ways to deal with that. i'm not certain the elements are in the bill and i won't know until we get through the 2700 pages. >> understandable. look, last week it caught my attention and a lot of people when it was reported that you call the deal that was struck by the bipartisan group of senators, youed the deal crap. do you still think that this bill is that? >> um, well after i read it, i'll perhaps use a less more decorative term. but i will express my opin
