Sometime now. Ive addressed that with sfo people on how to handle that. Whats happening is now that we have the 8,000 series and these other vehicles that are being added and i believe youre probably going to see another spike in hybrid medallions, but you do need incentivized drivers who dont have a medallion down the road for them to Still Service that very important community. Ive given a suggestion previously, and im going to bring it again to you. You need to work with the para Transit Coor...

Doesnt preclude the issuance of ramp taxi medallions to drivers in the future, its certainly, certainly points away from it. And i would urge you very strongly. Leave this door of opportunity open for drivers. Too many other doors have been closed to them. I also have to say that i oppose further leasing of medallions.

On our waiting list. So, whats going to happen is theyll all have the opportunity to purchase a half price medallion at 102,000 each. But when that occurs, those ramp medallions will come back to the city. And what we want to do is allow those grant medallions to keep operating to service our wheelchair clientele.

Id like to speak at the last. Who is next . Mark gruberg. Mr. Gruberg. Thank you again. Mark gruberg. Id like to echo some of the comments of the previous speakers, particularly mr.
