Director of transportation and i am happy to be here and i do have a brief presentation. But i can walk through and i do want to be mindful, and not being too repetitive of what i covered last time and the general theme and framework is really the same, what is before you with these two items are really just the two pieces of legislation that are introduced by all eleven members of the board of supervisors with support of the mayor that would allow the board to consider putting a 500 million gen...

Interior. And the way to look at the interior. And the operators cab i know how important it is to you as a board, on pedestrians and visions zero, and this is this is exceptional, and all the way around and it is completely transparent and i showed it to a couple of operators today who were here and just to get their reaction to it, and because there is a lot of even from a maintenance perspective we have a difficult time replacing the windows because of the frames and this is transparent all t...

Transition projects up there including current status and reports on that. Its still needs a little bit of editing, its a work in progress, but a great reference and resource to access. And then, we also have resources. This is part of my outward looking plan here. I want people from the Small Business community to be able to come to the Mayors Office on disability web page so that they can get information about how best to comply. What are the tools that are out there so they can make their fac...

Sides. There is a limited amount of space. So we have a certain number of people trying to move through the street. What becomes important and this is really just a physics question is how many people you can fit in which ways. When you put people on a bus. Those 75 people on a bus is taking the space of two or three cars. You have as many as 75 people, maybe 60 is more ideal. But you have as many as 75 people and in those three cars you might have three people. From the broadest standpoint, the...

Councilmember senhaux . One quick question, what was the criteria. Im interested in being a driver. So i want to work for you whether its shortterm or longterm. Whats the criteria . Sure.

And allow us to preserve what we love about the city, so going to the slides im going to speak a little bit to where we are and what some of the needs are but i think you alluded to this in the opening remarks, so in terms of opportunities within the Transportation System here in San Francisco when you look at transit what we have going for us is that we have a very dense system with high ridership, High Percentage of trips again in San Francisco are taken on transit. I think its Something Like ...

Paying any transit impact fees potentially. We also saw when the renewal of the Impact Development came to the board of supervisors lasted year the board sort of partially eviscerated it in terms of reducing its ability to generate meaningful revenue for the Transit System to reflect development impacts. What can we do to make sure that development is consistently paying to mitigate transit impacts that support the Transit System . I think as my understanding that the main vehicle across the boa...

Government to expand and meet the demand that we have been talking about. We recently got a transit performance grant from mtc to improve service on some of the heavily traveled lines. We have 62 new buses. I think half of them are here and the entire bus fleet will be replaced within the next five years. Thanks to your leadership we got prop b passed and smoothing streets and pedestrian and bike infrastructure and also has funds for traffic signal infrastructure. But as you mentioned we have a ...

Own automobile so i think we have a lot of opportunities as we look to address the lack of investment as well as the growth that is coming. But the flip side is that there are challenges associated with our system, and i think you enumerated these somewhat, but theres a lot that we need to do in terms of reallocating the space on the public rightofway and prioritize transscpit it provides a better option. To capture some of that latent demand. In terms of the pedestrian environment i know all th...
