Rollout city wide is fantastic. To your point, it is probably almost invisible to most people who use it except people will be able to park more easily and the apps that will be available to let people see what those rates are because i can see that might be someones concern they park the car and it was x per hour. They dont maybe know if they dont check ahead of time if they went up two blocks it would be cheaper. Are we going to on our lovely new web site let people know which apps to use not while driving but before they go out to try to park . I think that is a good idea. We did that with sf park. Not endorsing anybody if you are interested in finding the information these are the places to visit. I will write that down i support this and continue to support sf park. It has helped merchants, drivers, street safety. I love it. Directors do we have questions . If this is going to increase at most in 20 . So 80 is unchanged and of the 20 some will go down and some up. At most by 1 per year, is that right . I cant guarantee the breakdown how much is going up, staying the same or going down. The tests have indicate 80 the same. What i am hearing it is a small fraction of the meters we expect to see any kind of rise in parking rates. That is a very compelling point. Also because a quarter every quarter basically. It is not like anybody is going to see the rates jump up to 5 or 6 even if it goes there, it would take a couple years where the rates are now, right . And demand driven, right . That is correct on the first point only 20 change based on the analysis we have done and how things are today we expect that small number one out of five in the city would see the initial change. Over time the dynamics of the commercial areas and neighborhoods change. Having this policy in place will let essentially the driving market determine that. It may be over time that 20 grows or may shrink. Potential will be there for anywhere in the city to reduce the meter prices when too high and increase when too low. It is a very good presentation, and i am not for the very reason you say i am not concerned the potential for increases violate the indexing policies around the meter prices. This is demand driven and focused. I dont have that concern. I dont think this should be viewed as a blanket parking meter increase. I am glad you raised that. Then just to follow up on what the chair said. I know you have written it down. You said people wont notice. I know that the increases will be modest, but i think what the director said is important and why we need to communicate the act of people to see their Parking Options before they leave their homes or wherever they are going. At some point one of the dye namics people are looking at pricing for parking maybe driving isnt the best option here. It will have that effect on dynamics. In any event i dont have the concern about the overall rate increases. I would very much support the idea without advertising letting folks know through the website the ways to monitor the information in advance. Just to comment on that. We are inundated with people interested in getting the data. I have met personally with a lot of groups. I think there are some so yes, absolutely. We are working in that direction. I think there are people interested in broadcasting this information and interested in broadcasting to the public that they have this information to get the word out. I am very supportive. This is great. A lot of people have seen great turnover. I find that on the rare occasions that i am in a car somewhere it is easy to find a parking spot. The comment on the higher end of the side, looking at what private garages and also valet are charges, right . You can get to the higher end when we go too high we push people to private garages or valve lay parking instead valet parking. When we start on the downtown water front where increasing the rates we are competitive. We are obviously very competitive today. Any more comments i am looking forward how much safer the streets become. When parking is easy it is the dangerous time to ride a by success on friday night through my ride a bicycle on friday night. I look forward to the opportunity to make parking easier so people are less frustrated and less double parking and the flow of the street is so much nicer when people can find places to park. Whatever we have to do, i support it ease of payment has helped with the new parking meters so many option to pay. The safety of the streets we will see a Merchant Group come to ask for the meters to run later than 6 00 p. M. In the evening. Do we have Public Comment . Is elyza here . Christy wang here . All right. Is david still here . Jim lazarus. It will be christy, jim, followed by howard. We promote Good Government in the strain bay area through research and education. I am here to express support for the city wide demand responsive pricing program. We believe by applaying the pricing we can better manage demand and reduce congestion. Being smart how the city uses the supply will support safety on the streets and encourage the commercial activity while keeping us moving. We have seen the success in the sf park pilot which successfully demonstrated demand responsive parking can decrease parking search time and increase shopping time and reduce hourly parking rates. I will stop repeating things. I hope we can extend these positive out comes to the rest of the city beyond where the pilot was. I want to mention we know you are looking at the future of the curb, an area that is a valuable piece of real estate. It is a great sign that we will be looking at the curb as an important park how we look at the city. Thank you very much. That is it. Next speaker please. With had the pleasure of being an early cosponsor to urge the federal government to make the grant to the city six or seven years ago and welcome this program. Those around a long time know parking meters for something out of the 1950s. Some remember when you can put pennies in them. We still have policies and i think it was mentioned why 6 00 at night . Why not sunday when stores are open when they used tok closed . I have been down that path before. I look behind. There werent a lot of people following me. I think it is something to think about. But i certainly appreciate the success in the pilot programs downtown through the merchant areas where this is rolled out. Usually sum full. It is a good program. For the first time this isnt occasionally raising rates just to rate the rates. They are tied to demapped. They will go down demand. They will go down at peak hours you can see it in the civic center area. We support it and look forward to publicizing it with our neighborhoods throughout the city. Thank you very much. Vice chair. I note that jim stayed through the meeting to make that presentation. You have been supporting the program. Thank you for your support. We very much value what our Business Community says up here. For you to come down and tell us that and wait through that is meaningful to us. It is great to close on a happy note. Hearing this great report and covering everything. I would say that there is a paragraph in the book that shows how people walk to save a dollar or two an hour in parking and everybody finds their budget. I support you. Someday maybe we will extend the times to sunday. We heard from the synagogue. They asked for free parking on saturday. They didnt do it. Maybe they should. Go on with this. It is great. Then this business about using the curbs maybe we will have more parks and that will drive it out. More yellow and. Zones that we need. You will know what will happen you will be able to infer what will happen with the parking rates when you do these important things with the curb. Not only do you use it for adjusting rates but you will have it right from the meters without the complicated expensive things in the sidewalk. Thank you. Last and not least. Steven cornell. Good afternoon. I am representing the Council District merchants and our president. There is a couple groups out there. The district merchants which is in the neighborhood the Overall Group this. Is also something the nta set up a Small Business working Group Meeting over a year. Almost every other month. Both of these groups this subject has not come up. This program has not come up to us. It sounds like a good thing. I know a lot about the pilot program, but what has happened what are the statistics, where we go from there is never brought to us. I think since it is happening in the neighborhood as a group it would be a good thing to do. What we are asking for is postponement of your decision until we can sit down, hear about it, hopefully come back and say we love it and go ahead with it. To be left out of it as a group is very upsetting. That is one thing we have been asking for a long time. I think the Small Business working group is what is formed because we have been left out all of the time. Here is an example of that. Thank you. Thank you very much. Any more Public Comment on this item . Seeing none. I will close Public Comment. Could i ask a question. I know that we did outreach to the chamber. I dont know if anyone presented downtown to the group. Perhaps that can speak to outreach to the small Business Community as i mentioned, i sent emails to just about every Merchant Group we could find Contact Information for. I started by trying to contact every Merchant Group in the existing park areas to say this is going on for five years. I would love to hear how it is going. I talked to many of them including the Market Business Association chair. I talked to him about it in 2016 and sent emails to all of the people we could find the Contact Information for. We got about 13 that said yes, we would love to have the presentation and i gave out the presentation we focused on the council merchants. We reached out several times with an extended cop very session with the head of that in october when it looked like there would be on the calendar for october 17th. I sent follow up emails within the past couple weeks thanks for the information, thanks for keeping us in the loop. That is the story of the outreach over the past 18 months i know you have been doing outreach. I would say council might want to start with them and work from there because i think that people would be supportive otherwise. I think because people didnt get a proper presentation i think it is important because you know our Small Business is the backbone of the city why people live here and why it is so vibrant. It is an over sight. I understand you made efforts and it might have been easier to go to the council in the first place. I support this. I heard steven. I am disappointed. Henry sent out something in the last few days. I dont know what happened. Whatever we can do to get out in front sooner with the merchants because i think they will be supportive as long as we just give them enough time to know about it. Than you very much. Do i have a motion to approve. Second. All in fair aye. Hearing none. This motion is and proved thank you very much for your work and presentation on it. The better Market Street project directors, the better Market Street is a project you have had great interest in over the years. I started working on it two or three years before you hired me for this job. It has a long history. That is in part because you know Market Street is probably the most complex street this is a slow process to advance the idea that as we fix the infrastructure of Market Street the lions share of the project we can build it to be a better street to work for the different ways people want to use it. The good news is the bad news it has taken along time and we tested your patience and my and others. Good news in the last year or so or less than that we had a breakthrough in terms of identifying a path that might optimize the various modes. In the Environmental Review process we look at numerous alternatives. Working with different agencies. We found something that is the most promising solution. We wanted to give you an update. You have been asking for updates for a while. This is an opportunity to give you a complete look at the current thinking for this complete Street Project and looking forward to your feedback. A number of different public works and mta staff here. The project manager for better Market Street has been for quite some time now from public works will lead the presentation. Thank you, directors. I have a presentation. It did not make it safe error make them feel safer. It was designed so that paratransit and taxis to cull up on to the cycle track and access the sidewalk. They took advantage of that to park in the bicycle lane. We installed is hit posts. We spent time and money creating this condition. We realized it didnt deliver on the safety improvements we wanted. We went back to the drawing board as the city. We were able to come up with a new proposal which again achieves the same core functional improvements for the street, transportation improvements part of those original alternatives, safety and street scapes are still in this proposal. We have a new proposal for the bicyclists. That is to create a sidewalk level bicycle lane. Right now in the east of eighth street on Market Street the sidewalks are 35 feet wide. This proposal would move the curb towards the center. It is 37 feet from the Property Line to the curb line. Then we devote a portion of that new widened area to the bicycle lane. It is not like the embarcadero. It is very clear. 8foot wide. It is a little washed out. There is an 8foot wide zone for bicyclists there is a clear buffer to separate from the vehicles and pedestrians. It is important to make sure itt is safe for both pedestrians and there is a true sidewalk 15foot through zone for pedestrian circulation and the buffer is 5 to 10 feet depending where on Market Street it is. On the right side you can see an example when there is a curb side the bying bicycle lane is behind. The bicycle lane would separate the bicyclists from the road. I wasnt able to tell this. Is there a grade differential between what we call the sidewalk and the bike portion of that . I realize that is a grade differential. 6inch curb to separate the sidewalk and the vehicle lane from the vehicle lane. The grade would be graded to allow drainage. The grade would be the same for the sidewalk where the pedestrians are walking the buffer zone and the bicycle lane okay. Thank you the next series of slides are renderings. This is the existing condition. We have very wide sidewalks. They are at the current time under utilized. The amenities, benches and street scape elements installed in the 1970s are swept off and we have wide sidewalks that are mostly empty. Our proposal is to dedicate a portion of that to pedestrian circulation zone where people are safely walking. You can see the buffer with the plantings, bike racks, benches, seating, trees, a buffer to ensure the bicyclists cant move at highspeed and pedestrians dont wander to the bicycle rain. This is from the other side where you can see the vehicle lane, the 6inch curb. Buffer suppar rating the vehicles from bicycles and the lane and behind the bicyclists the buffer that separates the bicycles from the sidewalk area. We included plans to show typical situation this is the packet. This shows how the bicycle lane and all of the vehicle travel lanes and sidewalks work with a Center Island on the bottom and curb sideboarding island on top. This will make sure we will be able to provide loading on Market Street. We include the picture to show we have come up with a way to consume date loading on Market Street we call the plex zone moving to the same level as the sidewalk. A rolled curb of commercial vehicle. It will go up over the curb across the bicycle lane to the parking zone. If there is a lot of maneuvering going on and the bicycles need to they can use the rolled curb if it is safe to pass the loading vehicles. Here is some nice examples of the version of the state of good repair we need to address. The paving itself needs to be redone. That gets us to 500 million. The big blue block is the transit structure. It is dedicated to the investment in running the surface transit lines on Market Street. The green bar is the street scape paving and the elements and new paving for the entire street. The schedule we are in the Environmental Review. It is an Environmental Impact report there will be approval actions this board will bring to the board and we are looking for approvals in 2019 and the city is looking to accelerate the design of one of the faces, the project of this size is in phases. We are accelerating the design to get to construction in 2020. A lot of details on the slide. This is to show a Public Outreach ongoing right now we are planning over the next year to be bringing this new design. We are meeting with stakeholders to present the design. We are planning a series of Public Meetings in february. We will have another series of meetings with the results back. The goal being to get to the draft Impact Report significant public input into the proposal not a surprise what the proposal from the city is in regard to better Market Street. So again i have staff from public works and sfmta here to answer questions. We are in the Environmental Review and we have started the conceptionual engineering for the project and doing outreach. This month we are starting a loading study to go doortodoor to talk to businesses about the loading and access needs. We are doing the transit rider survey to ask questions of the riders of the transit on Market Street that is the end of the presentation. We have available to answer questions you love parking and i love Market Street. We both get a Christmas Wish today. Thank you. Very good presentation. Let me start with questions. Or a suggestion. When you survey the businesses about loading needs, i am not quite sure how you would do this. I would strongly urge you to talk to the Truck Drivers themselves. This proposal you put in here is new. I was going to use the word novel. It is new to San Francisco and new to those drivers. I would want to know what the drivers think about the motion of going on the raised curbs to make deliveries. You are talking the bike lane. You will talk to the Bike Coalition as well. That is point one. Question one is this. Does your design anticipate anything from us with traffic as you know i am very of an advocate for private career striction on market car that is restricted on Market Street. I want your plans to consider what we may be doing from traffic regulation. Are you anticipating a private career striction or other restrictions as you did make the design . That is a great question. We realized we had left out the private vehicle restrictions which are part of this proposed project. They are part of the project since four years ago. The current proposal is to restrict private vehicles over than commercial and taxis and bicycles in the easterly direction from tenth street to speer street to main street. Tenth to main on the inbound. On the outbound it is from stewart to vanness. There are a most of other changes to traffic circulation which would come in front of this board for approval. Some twoway streets and associated traffic changes to support those basic traffic vehicle restrictions on Market Street. Those are key to the transit performance as well as safety improvements if you want to go broader on inbound i certainly wouldnt oppose it. Great. Then we will call this one of your Public Comment sessions where i can just as one citizen give you my views. I have concern about that design being so as i said before novel and unseparated. That we may have difficulty transitioning to it, and in addition when i think about the people who are on Market Street, many of them are visitors. So even if we have a sort of, you know, the city is aware how this works. The visitors see this new thing with delivery think trucks on the raised platform, cross bicycle paths. That concerns me. That led to my question. Are we a separate grade for the bike and sidewalk and street . That is a very distinct barrier that anyone could see right off the bat. I will say the notion of adel oe delivery truck on the bike lanes that are heavily used concerns me. When you say that is an area that is traditionally used as a sidewalk, i am concerned again. I think it all feeds together. I am wondering if we have dedicated red stripe transit lanes and private career striction. Might there be road space where a stopped loading truck is not the worst in the word or is there a way to regulate that in a way more consistent with how this is done throughout the city and throughout the world so we dont have such a significant up take of how this works when we implement it because, frankly, the stakes are high when you cross bike lanes and sidewalks. You have studied this. I strongly favor this. I want to move forward as quickly as we can. We waited too long. I understand that is not your fault. On that particular aspect of the plan, you know, not having grade separations for bike lane and sidewalk and a more significant barrier than planter and bench. I realize it sacrifices aesthetics. Safety and transit efficiency is my primary goal. If you build a world class avenue the aththetics will come aesthetics will come from the businesses. That is my concern. I want to follow up. Really cool idea. I do have to say it is true that speed when you are doing multiple deliveries is a factor and some other reasons that trucks block traffic lanes or places they shouldnt be is because it is easier. Like the buses on van ness avenue have a problem getting in and out of spots because of traffic and people dont let them in. Similar complications for people delivering to mull tell businesses and multiple businesses and we understand the hours. There might be some sort of delivery hour windows we could think about so some of the time it would be on the street and we may utilize the other intervention in the middle of the day when there are less cyclists. Thinking about it more creatively in that way, obviously, people think if you could have deliveries early hours because people were at restaurants that would help a lot. I think that, you know, i think overall the plan looks amazing. It is really what is needed as a person who has walked and taken transit on Market Street this is what the street needs. It will go a long way in the portions of the corridor that are dead. I do think that the director brings up the important points around delivery. It is doing surveying of practices around why people do things the way they do. We often try to modify the behavior not knowing why they behave like they do. We assume it is because they couldnt find a parking spot. Sometimes it is easier not to park if you are only doing one keg of beer or whatever it might be. As much outreach up front. If we need a pilot Something Else to consider as well. I just was at an event a few months back and somebody asked me as director why cant we just get the cars off Market Street now . It is glaringly obvious for a transit rider or pedestrians. Why are we waiting to get half a billion dollars to do something that would be revolutionary different tomorrow and build on what we have seen as success. There is a sense of urgency that the community has that i have spoken to and heard over and over again. I have experienced the need for it as a regular on Market Street both almost regularly taking it. It just feels like there could be way more urgency than there has been. It is not just for the big one more incremental steps to get us there more quickly. We have a bunch of different conversations. Our friends are telling us about the architecture. The transit aspect is ours there. Are limitations. Perhaps this might be something to discuss at the board retreat or when we come up. What is it we can do now as an agency without undermining what they are doing but to address the issues the director is talking about. We have this conversation every six months. First of all, the they includes us. This is just because he is wearing a hat from a Different Agency this is inter Agency Process and those behind him are part of the team we have on this to make sure trapportation issues are integrated. It is really safety and reliability that are key. Dont think that and i didnt catch either the omission of the parking impacts are from the planning and design of the transit and parking and traffic. In terms what can we do now . This is currently a project that is undergoing Environmental Review until that process plays itself out and we have our environment it will clearance. There is a limited amount that we can do. However, as simon said, we will be publishing a draft Environmental Impact statement. We will move to final when those are certified and the design process begins in earnest we are cleared. We dont need to wait years for a construction project the next day should we get to that point. This board can im minute the parking and traffic changes and other things that dont require the work as we have done on many other projects. To some degree on the streets. Right we are able to do that outside of this project. We are able to establish a safety imperative. We are clear that was not part of this better Market Street project. We need to respect the the environmental process. When that is done. The parking and traffic changes we can do. I want to make sure that is clear. I think it would be helpful for the team to come back periodically as the designs are more refined so we can get a deeper dive on these aspects. With regard to horizontal we are at a graphics level design at this point. How hard that divider needs to be, how robust it needs to be is something that we will be working on throughout the design process. Dont think the image is the end of the design process. We may find we may need much more of a barrier that having these sales a at at the same grade. We are gathering as much information about that and data as we can. With regard to the loading. We did by the way have a look at whether we can eliminate the commercial traffic and loading on Market Street and on the side streets. What we found with the businesses and buildings in many cases the blocks are long, not good access at the end of the block orally behind or the alley behind. We need to make it work. The idea of trucks on the sidewalk in a legally sanctioned way is new here. Crossing the bike lane to do the loading is something not new here. It is quite common in older existing bike lanes and brandnew ones such as on seventh and eighth street. We have situations where we are doing a very similar dynamic. It is without the mounting the curb part. I think the council to talk not just to the businesses but to drivers that talk to the teamsters is a great idea we have a number of forums to do that. We will definitely do that. This is very complicated street. It does require doing things that may be new. I just want to remind you we have that dynamic of loading and crossing the bike lanes in a lot of places in the city. The mounting is different animal. I guess my response would be that is still new for the truck driver and the bicyclist. The truck is going to spend more time in the bike lane because it is less. It is the novelty of it for mixing bikes and trucks. Then i think, you know, as you stated very well the eir process goes first and we have the ability to make the traffic changes if some of the design is behind. What i suggest is whether it is at the border which is the right place or somewhere else to come back and talk to us about what are some of the options, specific options to implement now that wouldnt you set the overall longterm planning of this and would be, you know, efficient with it. That is one of the pressures we get. The response i get every time i am out there with this project is not that is terrible. It is what he just said. What is the delay . I think is the short answer we exhausted what we can do on Market Street outside of the project. One of the early slides gave you a list of what you authorized us to do. We reached the limit what we can substantially do on Market Street. We have an accelerated schedule to get to that point. It is not years and years out. We could conceivably implement to do the early implementations and parking and traffic changes. That is what i am saying. It is five until 6 00. We know the timeline for the project. It would be good to have a sense to know we have done all we can do. What is the timing of the eir and suggestions that we would make before the project is completed. If it is as simple as banning private vehicles so be it. There may be more to it. I am saying give us an idea so we can start thinking about what the first changes we would make and we can also then start socializing them with the city. Getting folks reaction. That is a great idea we are finalizing with the planning defendant what we think the the Environmental Review process timing looks like. What we will do once we have that is bring to you or send to you here is what we think we would be able to do immediately after clearance, presuming that depending on the decisions made at the board and the Planning Commission and board of supervisors pe. The Environmental Quality is an issue tha that that is a transportation issue we should think about becoming more active in. We are clearing this federally and locally. It will be paid for with federal funds. Thank you. My concern, you know, i want everything faster. This feels to me like it was a slip of a couple years based on the last time this was presented. I assume it has to do with the change of the design. I would say that we didnt have a design that we were this excited about in the other three alternatives. There were significant weaknesses to all three. I think through the process what that meant did cause us it did cost time. Now that we have a design the agencies are excited about we are pressured by our directors, my boss and director riskin are delivering the project on the more rapid timeframe than the four years. I am fully supportive of the project, design new answers are good and we should discuss them. I hope my comments werent taking about slowing this down. I want this to go forward. We were told staff prepared a 10 minute presentation. We could spend half an hour on the transportation changes. I want to say we are happy to come back to go into the details. This was an overview to introduce the knew proposal in terms how it worked on the street in closing when you come with an overview at quarter to 6 00 in the evening after we have done everything on the street normally you get no responses. This response this evening hopefully communicates the enthusiasm we have and we look forward to the bigger report when you come back with the possible early transportation changes. Thank you for sticking around. We appreciate it. I want to move to Public Comment. I want to make a note not to be discussed now but perhaps for the director that the discussion of the raised cycle track not working i have been watching that same design. Lets talk about it later at some point. Be made modifications based on what we learned based on the timing. Any other comments or can i go to Public Comment . Great. Any Public Comment . I have not received a single love note. I will thank the team who presented. Thank you for the work. Superexciting. We want more faster. Lets move on the next item best for last. Item 15. Climate Action Strategy to provide framework to have reduction of Greenhouse Gas emissions and increasing the resilience of the Transportation System in advance of future Climate Impacts. We have not received any indication we have members of the public to talk about this. I am sorry when it comes at the end of a long day. Dont think any short comment is any reflection on the important work that you are doing. Thank you very much for having me. I am Tim Daugherty climate planner her to present on the 2017 climate Action Strategy. Before i get into my slides i have a couple introductory comments. Mayor lee was at the Climate Summit in chicago meeting with mayors from across the world on this important global issue and diving into what sort of actions need to occur at the city level across the world. Almost every day we hear more and more about how our climate system is changing around us. Future projections indicate more intense and frequent coastal storms, heat waves. Wildfires. It is important for us to begin the process of addressing this. In part because there is limited time for really meaningful Climate Actions. Cities are on the front lines in addressing this global issue. Now San Francisco is fortunate in that there are great news coming out of San Francisco in 2017. First off, the city reduced agreGreenhouse Gas emissions 28. Over heavy of all of the trips taken to and from and within San Francisco were made by environmentally Sustainable Travel modes, biking, walking and transit. This bodies well for us as a Global Climate leader. It is clear that a transformation of the transportation sector accounting for half of the citys emissions is required. Tonight i am presenting on the transportation climate Action Strategy for a framework for the accelerated reduction of emissions and for initiating the work around the Transportation System in th the face of Climate Impact such as Sea Level Rise in collaboration with the planning defendant and trapportation authority. First of will give an overview of the drivers of this work. The first is proposition a passed by voters in 2007. This is the historic driver. This is a climate Action Strategy and the sea rise level action plan released in 2016 which directs City Department to recognize that claim at change is real hatching now. Now is the time to build a more resilient city and city that can actually adapt to Climate Impacts. This slide captures city wide emissions across all sectors from 1990, baseline to 2015, most recent year we have Greenhouse Gas emission numbers. There are three primary sectors which you can identify here in each of the bar charts. Landfill organics and transportation in blue and building in green. You can see this trend in my initial comments this 28 reduction. This is really significant especially when you consider how much the city has grown since 1990. G. D. P. Is up 80 . You can think of the new residents and jobs we created. You can get the sense that Climate Action does not have to come at the cost of strong robust economy that is important to think about and we see that at the state level as well in california. Another important take away from this slide is the looking at the blue component, the transportation sector. It is quite stubborn because of the reliians upon fossil reliance of fossil fuels. When it calls for 80 reduction we cannot get there without transformation of transportation sector. I talked about sectors, landfill and transportation and building. That helps the city family organize our Climate Action framework. Many of you heard about this in the past. This is referred to as the 0, 50, 100 roots framework. 0 is the work around getting to 0 waste. More composting and recycling and reductions in consumption as well. The 50 this is the citys goal. How we move around has the potential to generate Greenhouse Gas emissions. As i mentioned earlier we have achieved this 2017 goal which is really great. This contains an updated goal for 2030. 80 of all trips by environnen tally Sustainable Travel modes. 30 is our transportation sector calling for increasing the amount of Renewable Energy that fuels the city. Lastly, the roots, this is Carbon Sequestration and integrating Green Infrastructure to do a better job of capturing carbon and building a more resilient San Francisco. This slide captures just the transportation sector. This is 2015 numbers. Two important take aways from this slide. First is the data in red. This is data that reflects emissions from cars and trucks, about 91 of the sector. You can see municipal any accounts for 2 of the transportation sectors emissions. Bart is 5, caltrain 7 and ferries about 1. If you think about the hundreds of thousands of people that use those transit systems every day to move across San Francisco and you realize that it is only about 9 of the sectors. You realize that transit is really the backbone and workhorse of the citys environmentally sustainability mobility system. Mta is a leader in integrating Renewable Energy to move people across the city and in a safe reliable and low carbon form of mobility. Mta should be proud. We are seeing other providers. The Mayors Office convened a meeting with ferry operators. More and more transit is going to be that really important backbone of the citys Climate Action toolbox. However when we look at the red section these are the cars and trucks that are moving on the San Francisco streets. This presents challenges as we look to reduce emissions from the sector. But there are a number of opportunities there. You can ensure the trip is authority. That is with building neighborhoods that are dense and diverse and walkable and people can bike through them. We see that work occurring at the city level. Another way is to encourage people to choose modes low in carbon. Biking, walking and transit. Mts is a leader. You can replace the actual fossil few ems that drive the mobility and replace it with Renewable Energy. Those three primary approaches are integrated into the Climate Mitigation Program Areas that are in the strategy and the seven Program Areas are transit, land use and transportation, pricing and congestion management, Transportation Demand management and zero emission vehicles and technolo technology. As i alluded to advancing climate goals does not have to come at expense of strong economy. It can help us build a healthier more equitable San Francisco as well. We see that in a lot of Program Areas captured in these seven work areas. Each of the Program Areas contains a goal statement, a number of longterm strategies and implementation actions the city family wants to advance over the next twoyeario
