Summit is here next year in San Francisco. Are we doing anything that highoit the work we are doing . It is amazing when people talk about the growth and development. People perceive that there are greater levels of pollution. They understand the New Buildings are so much better than previous for climate purposes it is a good reminder when we talk about consolidation and the overall impact this needs to be part of the language when we look at a change to help people ride buses and ride bikes and walk. We need to include that as one of the big reasons to do things quickly and safely and efficiently on that note i think what this strategy should you choose to adopt it today suggests is that the mode shift goal when tim mentioned the goal of 50 is the goal that you established when we put into place our current Strategic Plan in 2012, we are going to discuss the next plan at the retreat in january it will beg the question if 50 is good enough. In the strategy it is reaffirming the longer term goal that 80 sustainable mode share. 50 is great and we met the goal more quickly than we thought. Holding at 50 doesnt get us to where we need to go. One of the Big Questions we need to contemplate for the next plan is what is the next interim step that we need to take . I dont think we have Public Comment. Before i ask for a motion for approval i will remind us if we approve this we need to hold ourselveses to it in future actions as we continually remind ourselves we need to hold to vision zero goals we need to hold ourselves to Climate Action strategy as well. Motion to approve. That concludes the meeting for today. That was a long meeting i appreciate you sticking with us. We are adjourned. One of the m was asked to do is Water System Improvement Program and one thing i looked at is about the 4. 8 billion dollars wurthd of work and a lot of the work was regional. We looked at how can we make sure that we provide opportunities for san franciscans and people in the region and so we looked at ways we can expand our local San Francisco lb program. So, we thought about it and worked with general manager at the time to form an advizry committee to talk about how to include local businesses in the region. I was on the First Committee back about 10 years ago and the job changed over time. In the beginning, we just wanted people to know about it. We wanted to attract contractors to come into the system which is a bidding system and bid on some of these projects. Our second job was to help the sfpuc to try to make themselves more user frndly. I like that they go out of their way, have contractors trying to teach and outreach to Small Businesses and lots of creative ways. Help the community as well. There is so much infrastructure going on and repair, new construction that i think is helping to get construction back on its feet. My faiv rlt part of the committee has been that we have played a opportunity for many Small Businesses. [inaudible] Women Owned Business to come in and [inaudible] sfpuc. It is a great opportunity because some are so small they have been able to grow their companies and move up and bid other projects with the sfpuc. Everyone i was talking about with any contractor [inaudible] and super markets and things like that and i realize the transition was on the sfpuc. He got that first job and knows about the paperwork qu schedule and still works on this type of job, but he works with general contractors that also did other things. Pretty soon it is like he did that one and that one. It completely changed his business. My name is nancy [inaudible] the Office Manager and bid coordinator for [inaudible] construction. Worked on 10 plus puc, lbe contracts. Today we are doing Site Maintenance on the [inaudible] chr site and currently the gentlemen behind me are working on every moving and basic specs of plants. In order to be success you need to work hard, bid low and keep a look at the sfpuc website for future bidding opportunity. This is a Successful Program because it provides opportunities to regional communities that might not have opportunities to work for large scale projects. The sfpuc is a fortunate agency we have a lot of Capital Program that span over 7 counties who also to see how some businesses like [inaudible] and bio mass started as small micro businesses grow and expand and stay in the program and work on several projects before they graduate from the program. That is what warms my heart. My name is college willkerson, the principle for bio mass. Bio mass has been in business since 2006. 3 partners. Small businesses fill a niche but apply and being a part of the program helped us be more visible and show the city and county of San Francisco we can also perform services. This program had tremendous impact to the region. In fact, the time we rolled the program out was during the recession. This has h a major positive impact and certified over 150 firms in the rejen and collectively awarded 50 million in contracts, and because of the lbe certification it open many opportunities to work with sfpuc. And, i significantly helped the business. It is one of the major contributors to our success adjourned.

Good morning chair peskin, vis chair tang and members of the Transportation Authority. Vice chair tang and members of the Transportation Authority. I will be presenting the cac report today. Beginning with item eight, the cac recommends approval for the allocation of prop k fundses as presented. There was particular support expressed for the valencia street bikeway impolicemen taths plan request implementation plan. The bike lanes were last striped in 1999 and valencia street has become a major bike commuter route in the city. At the same time, development along this corridor has resulted in many more conflicts and hazards with Transportation Network company or tnc and food delivery drivers making quick stops and double parking in the bike lanes. The item did pass. Turning to item ten, the presentation on the 2017 facilitys framework. A question was raised if any of the older facilities to be altered or replaced had any historic cig any chance. They dont significance. It was also noted the facilities owned by the city and county seemed to kon trait on the eastern side of the city concentrate on the eastern side of the city. And whether it would hinder growth and development in the future of Transportation Networks locally. We also heard presentations about the core capacity transit study and compliment sector action strategy. Discussion concerned whether the impact of carbon admissions from tncs and the single rides they provide could be factored in. That was interest in resiliency efforts in networks affected by Sea Level RiseClimate Change and calling the effect of super storm sandy on the new york subway. Citizens Advisory Committee members would like representatives from uber, lift to share what guidelines are offered to drivers about where to pull over and stop. Instances where tnc double park when a curb side location or driveway is nearby, creating real traffic risks. That concludes my report. Thank you. Chairman peskin thank you, mr. Larson. Are there any questions for mr. Larson . Seeing none, is there any Public Comment on this comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Mr. Clerk, next item please. Clerk item three, chairs report. Chairman peskin thank you colleagues. In late october, i had the pleasure of well coming the self welcoming the self help coalition for the focus on the future conference. They have approved measures to Fund Transportation improvements. The theme was the power of partnerships, a fitting message given that it takes contributions from all levels of government to plan, funld and deliver fund and deliver transportation infrastructure. Since the mid1980s, california has been proving itself a leader in self help. Revenue sources make up 75 of transportation revenues in the bay area. At a time when the federal tax bill contemplates removing funding for commuter benefits, rolling back incentives for alternative fuels and cutting funds for affordable housing, we must continue to be a leader in self help here in san fran and the bay area. This means putting, preserving and protecting sbone funds by putting them to work. In fan francisco we San Francisco we will get congestion relief. Was must stand up to those calling for repeal of the funding package, a mix of reasonable and overdue gas and diesel thankses and veeblg reek taxes and vehicle ridge station fees. In registration fees. We will total and in turn their counties would act to place the measures on the june 2018 ballots. It will help tackle Traffic Congestion and traffic expansion symptoms of our growth. At the local level, we continue to work on a potential 2018 revenue measure through the Transportation Task force to boost transportation funding plans and provide local regional funds. As part of this work, i have asked our staff to initiate a Public Opinion survey to inform the Transportation Task force deliberations and recommendations later this year. As part of this effort, we are engaging our independent oversight consultant to look at the Transportation Authoritys project and payment systems, all of which recently received a clean audit, but as with everything, can benefit from occasional review and finetuning. Finally, i will close by noting our debt program is active again with our bond, which i signed 22 signatures on a whole bunch of papers to start the funds flowing just in time for the arrival of the new lrvs this friday. I will be away due to travel, but wanted to congratulate them on this milestone and thank the team for the successful financing to support delivery of these vehicles. With that i conclude my report and wish all of you and our staff a very happy thanksgiving next week. Is there any Public Comment on the chairs report . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Next item, please. Clerk item four, executive directors report. This is an information item. Vice chairman tang thank you. Just wanted to echo the chairs comments about the federal bill and the importance really of all of our local efforts from protecting sbone to keeping our focus on 2018. Regarding the statewide picture, caltrans is releasing and inviting public input on the final bicycle plan for 2020. This is something that they have been working on for actually a bicycle and pedestrian plan. The goal the to double walking and triple biscycling trips by 2020 and they are ready to skusz their discuss their findings. And the closest one is west Oakland Youth Center in oakland. It will be happening tomorrow 5 008 00 p. M. In addition, at the state wide level, earlier actually in late october, director peskin and provided joint comments to the california dmv on their proposed drivers testing. We earlier commented in april and pleased many of our comments were incorporated. We further stressed the need for the importance of training for operators near pedestrian and cyclists reporting all collisions and disengagements. And ensuring twoway communication between remote operators and local law enforcement. And Data Collection of on board units before, during and after a crash is very critical as well. Turning to another state program that we implement locally. We are continuing to refine the program. I want to thank chair peskin, vice chair tang and commissioner sheehy for fine tuning and shaping the recommendations. We hope to bring that forward on december 5th and the hearing on School Transportation including the potential for Yellow School buses has been rescheduled to a future date. I think we had previously scheduled it for late november, but we will probably move that to earlier in the new year. Regarding vision zero, just wanted to thank all the departments mta and our staff, the whole task force on their workshop november 9th. They held a vision zero bold ideas workshop to really take a longer term view looking out beyond the traditional twoyear cycle to reach our goal in 2024. They expressed an interest in deepening Community Engagement around all aspects of vision zero. Some included taking another look at road pricing, major street redesign and bold ideas there. High visibility Community Engagement and curb management. Those are the four ideas that emerged from their bold ideas workshop. Next steps includes the staff will share the information on the workshop with Community Folks and also highlighted on the website and bring it back hopefully to the Vision Zero Committee as well. Turning to the local level, the canopies for the bart stations are have begun construction here in San Francisco. Palace street station construction has begun. They will also be starting on the civic center station at 7 and Market Street soon as well. These are the canopies that will shelter the escalators from the weather as well as other trash and things that gather at the escalators hindering their operation. They also have included in the project a digital display of the train arrival times, new security grills and new l. E. D. Lighting as well as cameras. The 230 million project is funded by bart as well as matching funds from the state, prop 1b and prop 1a. Our funds are also being put to work to improve elevators around town. We are happy to report work is nearing completion on the platform. The elevator safety and reliability upgrades project will provide upgrades to improve the safety and reliability of 12 elevators. Work will begin on the Church Street station soon and mta has planned for the work to stake place in staggered ways to ensure accessibility for those who need these at each station.
