Vehicle procurement. Right now, the majority of our fleet, or a great portion of the fleet thats towards the end of its useful life, and with a more its useful life, and with a more regular procurementg< entire fleet ages all at once. As i said, we are prioritizing for the fleet but for the rails, for the i dont have head wires, the other things that support liability of the system. And ill give you some examples the core infrastructure, were working on improving the system speed and reliability. We are currently with funding from prop b, the streets bond from last year, we have funding for transit signal priority, we have the travel time reduction projects that are part of the transit effectiveness project currently undergoing environmental review. That review should be done within the next year or so. And then we will have a number of projects that will help make the service that we do have on the street faster and more efficient. Were identifying areas to dedicated transit lanes and
This is so workers can correct an electrical system. Muni had a lot on its hands yesterday. Were still unsure about a wheelchairbound womans condition this morning. She suffered lifethreatening injuries after being hit by f market train at church and market. Police are still investigating how this happened. And now going back to the morning commute concerning those modified lines, were understanding that n and j will have some changes. They will stop at this point here where we are at church and duboce but dont worry, lines k, l and m will be back up and running in about a half hour. Live in San Francisco, cate caugiran, cbs 5.

Tracks with you during the project. You stayed up late, even gave me a ride home which i appreciated. And you know, we saw the hard work from your crew and the people working in nonrevenue hours to do this. And, so, ill say on the, you know, curve replacement, kudos and thank you for getting it done. On the atcs wire, you know, when mr. Haley first came into this and we kept having these disturbed blocks and disturbed blocks and we actually had a hearing on this, and it came out that it was this wire getting pinched by sander hoses and so forth and so on. I remember, john, i asked you, i said can we wrap this thing in cryptonite . The market for cryptonite is very expensive. But the reality is despite last nights incident which is something else. Unfortunate timing but didnt have to do with the atcs wires. Those incidents have gone down. You know, customers see the Service Getting better. Theyre not quite sure why. The reason is you guys have better protected the atcs service and thats
Crews which terry here is to represent, led the upgrade of the automatic train control system, the signal loop. A loop of wires that run through the subway that basically provide for the communication of the automated train control system. When our trains are in the subway, they operate on an automatic mode that allows them to move much more quickly and efficiently than they would if they were operating in manual. And when this cable is not functioning, the automatic system goes down. Everybody switches into manual mode and the entire service, not just the eureka curve, the entire service degrades. So, it is a very significant project, fairly technical in terms of making sure there was not interference with the communication systems, and that the crews that worked on this also working after hours did a spectacular job. So, i want to thank you both for the service that you put in to make the train system work better and ill ask mr. Haley if he wants to add a few words. Director heinicke
