The Coronavirus Relief packages passed by congress. Good morning. I call this hearing to order. Without objection the chair is authorized to declare a recess at any time. I want to thank everyone especially our witnesses for joining us today for our committees hybrid hearing. I want to make sure to note some important requirements. Let me begin by saying that standing house and Committee Rules and practice will continue to apply during hybrid proceedings.

Tumlin will talk about this, but last week we did have a press event with supervisors peskin and preston announcing that we will be delaying our fare increases. Obviously when we were voting upon that fare increase, we could not have understood the magnitude of what was before us and not to mention we didnt really have a path forward in being able to fund the operations, so i want to thank you supervisors peskin and preston for working with us to come up with solutions which i cannot tell you what they are today. But to look at how we can fill those funding gaps which primarily effect us in year two of the budget cycle, not so much in year one. That will be coming back to us in the future.

And with that, i will turn it on to the next item. All right
