Introduction of new or Unfinished Business by the board of directors and siege none directors report. Good morning. Director nolan and members of the public and staff a number of things to update you as you may know i want to imagine that last week on i think the 22 we had to people who are riding their bikes in the city that were struck and killed by speeding automobiles as you may know we declared through our adoption of vision 2025 well no longer accept that people need to die in traffic violence and those too late fatalities like every other one yield avoidable were not accepting this should be happening in our city anymore i think Everybody Knows the transformation locations of the two one open jfk and thirty avenue and Golden Gate Park a car speeding upward of thirty or 50 Miles Per Hour and crossed over a lane and struck and killed a woman on her bicycle the other one on howard and 7 the transformation driver was speed up through a red light and struck and killed a woman on her bicycle fortunately because of some quick action by members of the public and the police the transformation person involved the alleged perpetrator howard and 7 brought into custody and charged insider the drivers on jfk and Golden Gate Park are at large call the transformation pole if you have any information to hold this person accountable for the transformation death hes responsible for. It is we believe weve been making progression on vision zero those two as well as the others weve had this here are just horrific we continue to focus on redesign of our streets to make them safer we at howard and 7 updated the transformation signal timing and enhanced the transformation crosswalks things well not stop someone speeding through a red light but continue the howard and fulsome bacon

the police and their focus on the 4 and focusing on the top 56 most dangerous driving behaviors that cause those problems and increasing their enforcement of those behaviors which is good they likely clearly needs to do more on the engineering and the enforcements side we need to do more on the education to make it less likely to center the tragedies continue to happy and Telegraph Hill working on the legislation wards to giving San Francisco the authority to enforce speed with cameras currently not allowed by the state of california but allowed by another communities across the country it is proven the federal Safety Administration to be effective and reducing collisions by a number of the 2025 percent of those collisions in the past week where speed was the preliminary collision factor so since we dont have enough police in the city or any city to Police Cameras can be effective well be working hard with the our representatives and States Legislature so weasel continue to redouble our efforts in terms of redesigning our streets to make them safer focusing on the high injury corridors well continue to support the police and work across the city with our partners outside the transformation City Education and the awareness and behavior change and seek the changes for local, state and federal level and our condolences to the family and friends of those who are grieving and

from that 6 be finalists and calling names two of those csa draw and others are first time finalists and csa draw the first women to expedite in the finalists great to see that diversities into the championship on the heels of recertifying the third ever cable car person through this this is great news the judges or will many of you know from the sfmta board member and the chinatown trip and the Improvement Project Karen Johnson golden gate and darcy for sf beautiful and helped to sponsor the event with the transformation petes and other folks attending those 6 folks will be xooeft against one of the winners last year on july 7th in union square i believe it is at noon so look forward to seeing everybody want to thank the 53 annual police explosion a great way to highlight the transformation history and the skills of our cable car operators move on to a couple muni forward updates one of them is that construction will begin on the 9 san brand new improvements on two parts of 11 and bayshore those are improvements that the legislated last year sometime last year this project will bring a quirk more reliable ride and satisfactory space on the street to get on and off the bus for 20 thousand riders on the 9 R Construction should be wrapped up by next spring and they include a number of things transit glubz at bayshore and harrison and intersection of oakland and jerry read and transit island on 11 and bayshore and portland and stop options during the Transformation Construction well work with the construction cruise work on both sides and minor delays an muni and 11 but continue to maintain the route and maybe slight adjustments led by San Francisco public works and doing everything we can to minimize the transformation impact on people driving and walking and, of course, on muni riders this Capital Projects are many things to make the 9 and 9 r faster and 20 thousand riders will benefit from those changes so great to see probation officer moving forward i wanted to give you an update on Mission Street and any improvements that weve implement as you may know that is been a lot of reaction to those improvements with positive and negative we hosted with supervisor campos last week, a Community Meeting in the Mission Cultural center and feedback Cheryl Brinkman was there a large crowd to remind you, we started this project the implementation in march and legislated earlier this year and last year we implemented it with the transformation goals of improving Traffic Safety and the muni reliability as with many of the muni projects were getting a lot of vision zero and times two for one benefit on many of the projects the transformation main element of the project constituent a transit only lane and a southbound or reconfiguration of street for the 3 two southbound one northbound and the nation of some of the single block stops and most notably i believe what is of most concern the term restrictions we have only one lane of traffic northbound the project diverts through traffic auto traffic right turns starting another Caesar Chavez and 26 24 and 22 and 16 i believe and it is those turn restrictions that were hearing a lot of concern but at the same time, were hearing a lot of very positive feedback in terms of the fact it worked in terms of transit performance making that ride reducing the transformation delays and making it more reliable 80 so the transformation feedback on areas of safety for people walking and taking transit eye as well as for the buses themselves the transit benefits in terms of the reliability and traffic time and feedback on the stop configuration with the traffic impacts the neighborhood and Business Impacts and the outreach that was part of our process and about the evaluation of the impacts so the feedback has been essentially that the transit changes are really working well, for transit and heard back from a lot of these folks at the same time weve heard the transformation traffic changes made it more difficult for people to get to and around the mission and we heard if businesses and others that it was having a direct impact on them and we heard feedback that the project may have caused people to frequent Mission Street more and others less weve gotten a lot of these feedback and emails and social media and 311 and telephone person and similar themes to what we heard at the meeting to insure were capturing as much and complete feedback as possible well do an additional round of surveying like before the project we shared with i together with input from neighbors and muni riders whos voices are heard less in the discussion and to better assess the impacts weve conduct a fourth round or round in coordination to make sure we better understand what stent or how the businesses are being impacted ouch u obviously we dont want to negatively impact the transformation businesses if there are impacts that are negative what things to neglect that to how the businesses are impacted and not weaken the transformation project and not solve what is a real issue of impacts so we will continue to work and likeable bring Something Back this july meeting in terms of adjustments to the project as well as updates on other things were doing such as working with office of Economic Workforce Development ill have more likely in the next meeting on Mission Street i want to note that supervisor campos is hit hard on all sides of the issue and trying to bring the folks together and working with solutions and i want to acknowledge him we had a quick update it was pride weekend which for us citys Transportation Agency was a big deal the transformation sfmta worked seemingly to work with the transformation pride celebration and particular across if sustainable streets traffic folks and parking and enforcement to our communication folks to our revenues support folks really a tremendous cross Agency Effort working in collaboration with the transformation city and with the department of Emergency Services to make sure we have put it oh, well it did we had a number of things the transformation tra transmarch friday night with the transformation giants game and critical mason saturday and other marches in the giants game and sunday the parade wrap up so a lot of strain on the system but john haley described that the transformation rail service was spectacular you noticed the transformation two car train the extra service for the transformation two events the transformation parade and the giants game on sunday we were able to clear the transformation ball park in thirty minutes that is phenomena working hard to make sure across the city so were able to get around the transformation City Customer Service what great lots of inspectors and ambassadors and others working to help people get to where theyre going and we had no major problems to report no criminal imagination related to the event a great event by the transformation staff and by the rest of the city and the events participants and finally i wanted to announce give you an update. Couple of updates that are none great but wanted first of all, as you may know we the city of San Francisco had short listed as part of the United States department of transportation challenge grant of 80 cities we were part of finalists and submit an application for 40 plus 10 million grant we submitted the application at the end of may and last week we were notified were not the transformation winner columbia ohio was selected at the winner we certainly congratulate all the cities we objectly feel ours was the strongest but nevertheless, we wish them well good news from the tremendous effort by lots of folks in the organizations and others across the city there is a lot of that came out of that process that will in this case without the transformation grant we had a lot of great ideas think outside the box and great partnerships were developed what a formation of the citys partnership with the ufltz ucsf and a lot of engagement on the issues thinking about how we can challenge the innovation 2, 3, 4 transportation in San Francisco and ways that advance our policy goals so although were stipulated disappointed we didnt within there recent we congratulate columbus and eager to see what we can learn but the momentum will continue and the immediate reactions from many of the partners in any case thats where that ended and whether or not relayed i also wanted to let you you know that tim who is the transformation leader of that effort and really accident a tremendous job of double or triple times job over the last months to pull together the Transformation Team and pull that application together let me know on friday, he is moving on and been with the Transformation Agency for quite a while and most recently as the chief moofgs officer he brought a unique perspective to the agency and pushed us in his role and planning roles and innovation role to embrace the best of the best practices i think he held helped to create best practices that are now being replicated across the country through other means he himself is seen as one thing the transformation leading gloshld transportation folks hes very much in damaged by organizations across the transformation world i think it is reflected well on the city and the mta after his earlier career in los angeles so while were very sorry to see him go hes moving on to exciting things we want to wish him well, i didnt have time to make the certificate well do but i wanted to take the transformation opportunity before he walked out the transformation door to thank him for many years of dedicated is service and the transformation city and ask him if he wants to come up and say a few words words. It is biter sweet to be up here and talk about a project well work on nixon next im leaving the Transformation Agency it was a hard decision to leave been an honor and privilege to serve the city the last 7 and a half years so it is Pretty Amazing and looting the transformation mta and i was proud to be part of team it lead the efforts that started to change the transformation direction of the agency we should be pride were one of the cities in the world to have a revised Network Design to complete street designs and vision zero and bicycle policies for all the things have been National Best practices and some things the park i was not involved in but helped across the country there is a lot of good things what you havent seen the internal things that helped reenergizes and helped the Transformation Agency on i think this is been a great tremendous effort. Was talking about where i should tell you i am going im primgd weve been working over the last two years on integrating the transformation lines of transportation and integrating and the last indication over the next 5 years the transformation transportation challenges their immense and huge ive accepted a position probation officer have the role for the new google soft driving car project thats why im heidi building the future is autotion and get ahead of it i look forward to celebrating with you over the next month i leave at the end of next month to start my new contrary.

Director brinkman ill echo director reiskins sent times good to hear the transformation feedback and thank you supervisor campos for working hard to make sure that were hearing all the voices im confident as director reiskin noted there you are changes we can make to the project that perhaps help people out and not bite into our goals of safety asia transit efficiency and reliability the last thing hurt any of the businesses that will be important to gather some data and look at it what is going on along the corridor we we can do as agency city to help the transformation businesses the Transformation Mission is undergoing such change and hard for people to see what is happening in their neighborhood and is not want to be part of pine pain but the transformation progress and hearing and seeing how we can improve Public School corridor. Thank you for attending that meeting and director reiskin. Thank you for i am i brought this up a couple months ago i heard from merchant and the concern you know when i look at the transformation transit first policy it talks about the purpose to help with the transformation people in commerce not just about the transformation bus again about the community and the transformation reason we have the neighborhoods in the commercial corridors as a rider of that line i can say the improvements worked and people not making the transformation turns or not i think f we can figure out those intersections it is harder to figure out those intersection i know some of the businesses said after the drop theyve senile things come back and, of course, it it takes time behavior to adjust after the changes but look forward to the new improvements and offer my help. Thank you director borden Board Members. Director ramos. I appreciate all the transformation work im sorry, i couldnt be there i was out of town on a long time vacation i want to make sure that that conversation keeps on going and the transformation other things there was so much in that directors report it is crazy i was really disappointed to hear about the tragedies that occurred with the transformation loss of life with the people on bicycles and we know well talk about it later i want to make sure people understand this is part of reasons that advocates parking protected bike lanes in the future i then an example of how valuable those parking electricity bacon and eggs and the Speed Enforcement and cameras those are important but you know as someone who that is my neighborhood and ride my bicycle there any other cyclists out there i think we owe to everybody to make sure that we explore every opportunity to offer the transformation maximum protection as possible on the streets i certainly hope well learn from this opportunity and consider as we go forward.

I want to continue on i speak at the last meeting and talk about the airline projects on the air tlifls street it downgraded the Transformation Service and the island cant get the transformation results the reason is people still can be hit by the coming cars when they walk to the island so to improve the the transformation important thing to stop the transformation moving cars to me to stop the transformation cars is educate and Law Enforcement have you ever see any boarding zone ask a driver to stop their car have you ever see message on the streetcar ask them to stop their car at the boarding zone and then see it so to me the sf Municipal Transportation Agency can do a better job using the transformation id like to make the efficiency and save viral for riders.

Next speaker, please. calling names good morning. Good morning board here to speak about moving the transformation tech shuttle buses to golf street and make a Public Comment those buses are using their approve service theyre used by a select few in the city and not using a public space that feels bad im skeptical of the claim those buses pull the cars off the road Tech Companies recruit and say you can live in San Francisco and shuttle down there are people choosing to live in San Francisco because those buses exist i believe that van ness is a more appropriate street in the commercial but residential ill suggest putting the buses on the new luxury highrises theyll be using those buses the other comment the folks waiting in lines are closing the pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk we can walk outside our front door we have to navigate between people and mention i know that owning a car in San Francisco who am i to criticize when i moved here i made 40 grand a year and bought a motorbike for 14 hundred bucks and people are using these and part of middleincome and protecting of San Francisco the corner of golf and bush a young boy was killed last year and newcomers incidents cars crashed into the buildings on that street and id like to nose when the buses are pulling up they clog the transformation traffic and see the cars are fluted and speed around the buses and makes me concerned over a intersection it is crowded already thank you. Next speaker, please. calling names . Morning. Good morning how are you im here to speak about muni and munis employees i have noticed that the transformation transportation is like when im standing up outside raven thirty or 40 minutes for a streetcar or bus youre busy broke down and need to get working buses for people on the street and also the transformation other i hear from resource i cant reveal but muni employees are sick dont call in you have to have themselves call in too many buses out of service and waiting for a bus forever thanks. Next speaker, please. calling names . Good morning good morning board my name is scott i live in the mission and im one of the riders of the commuter shuttles im here before you to basically firmer the transformation value of the shuttles and ask you to please create a stop to replace the stop that used to be at 18 and church so i am able to live without owning a car because im able to ride those commuter shuttles and although id love to take Public Transportation it is really not practical for my commute is makes it about 50 percent longer almost 3 hours already and the commute is longer than recently because theres not been the to the at 18 eye church it is only the transformation next closet was 24 and valencia that is twice as long as a walk and now moved to 26 and van ness to twaertsdz of a mile and a lot of people that take the transformation shuttle a drive i personally dont own a car i mentioned but think about whether i need to reconsider and hope the transformation board b will please create a new stop at delores and delores park is a good option for me thank you. Next speaker, please. calling names . Good morning. Good morning board. So im also an employee of facebook and someone that used the transformation commuter shuttle i want to make a general comment my shuttle stop a not impacted i love living in San Francisco and moved here recently and probably continue to do so even if the transformation shuttle are removed but makes my journey farther i ask you to think about the employees that value San Francisco and who want to be part of the Transformation Community and a lot of young people like me we choose not to drive cars not because we cant afford it i choose not to drive id like to live a car free lifestyle not a matter of wealth but better for the transformation city and environment thank you. Next speaker, please. calling names . Im a rider of commuter shuttle is it so an amazing resource for the past 4 years it enables me not to drive into the congested 101 and the caltrain if work for the length of the commute to get down to the companies in the peninsula thats why i think shifting to a hub model will force me not to drive into work and coming up more spaces in the city already with the clipper card a lot of the coworkers are driving into work ill consider whether i should get parking near my house and park and drive myself in and it is longer i know this is i was disappointed despite the transformation proposal for 18 and delores i understand the concerns around the airline streets but commuter shuttles are important by enabling people to be part of the community San Francisco is not a city i intend to leave the transformation Shuttle Program makes it more confident not a tax on the road and allows the transformation board to focus on any other programs allowing the Transformation Companies to step in for public good i hope with the continued evaluation to continue to priorize and given them the opportunity for people to live where they want and to make sure we focus on real transit priorities not served by other interests thank you. Next speaker, please. calling names . The last person that turned in a speaker card to address the transformation board on matters not on the agenda. Good morning. My name is a alex and fortunately the shutter by delores park was removed and the closest one on 26 like 8 blocks away we firmly believe that we feel we have like two cars for all 3 people apartment and we were not driving to work we had a shuttle stop we have two cars and find ourselves driving all the time i have to take cars and rectify parking on the streets we have one garage parking spot it is hard to maintain and greatly appreciate if you somehow keep the shuttles maybe on 18. Anyone else care to address the transformation board. Ms. Bloomer. The transformation calendar, are considered to be routine and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the commission. There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the commission, the public, or staff so requests mr. Chair im or ive not received and indication any members of the public worries about to sever an all in favor, say i. I. The is have it. The consent calendar is approved. The item 1130 years the director to authorized the transit fair bos system with to provide the revenue system a Data Collection and reporting Computer Aided Dispatch integration and warrant for maintenance for not to exceed 30 million and a term not to exceed 16 years mr. Chair theres no members of the public that wish to address you on this matter. Good morning. Good morning. Members of the board and director reiskin im jason lee from the Transformation Technology division before we goat into the details of what the fair bos is id like to give you a little bit of background on the project and why it is needed currently fareboxes on all the vehicles dating to 199112 years and at the end of their useful life their refurnished as recently as 2008 but not updated and the current vendor is no longer support of fair bos and out of far box they continue to do on bart cv m on the vendor machines in the subway stations were extending the transformation fleet and no boxes reaching and our fair bos built on the 25 Years Technology dont provide a track individual action so some of the benefits of new fair bos include enhanced reliability eye directing your attention and fair equipment we are going to improve revenue security and tracking as i mentioned earlier and reduce the costs of operation and maintenance and newer equipment and perhaps most significantly well be replacing our existing transfers with ones issued from the transformation offices themselves ill go into that in a little bit the fareboxes can accommodate future changes should the transformation board go in that direction and as i mentioned earlier be able to track the transformation analysis of how people pay with cash so here are the transformation terms of the contract our contract is with s p x and people in the audience here the length of the contract is 5 years with the option to step up for 2 additional 5 year terms so were looking at a total of 15 years to actually consider that one year might implement the system the cost for the bay system is approximately 22 million plus about 600,000 a year for prevent maintenance the total not to exceed 4 million over the 5 year term approximately 13 hundred fareboxes theyll go on all the vehicles except the transformation combrashs cable cars there is other equipment through the transformation computers and Software System and parts and the integration with our radio system and the timeline will go over is approximately, six months for the installation this is a diagram of what the fair bos will look like the transfer at the top there the color is white which our customers will be able to interact with and the bills can be snertsdz as well as the transformation bill slot this fair bos is assessable for the americans with disabilities act going to the on the transformation left an image of the transfers and that will transform into transfers that are issued from fair bos those whre box those w there will be an expiration of 9 minutes and in the transformation late transfer policy and include the transformation security the transfers have no value except in the far box people will not be transferable and less transfer wait because well only print as noted this diagram here shows the revenue transfer and Collection System that is used to transfer revenues from the transformation f fare box to our that cashbox is transferred to the orange reserveer that empties into the mobile valet and those revenues are transferred by arm truck to the collections. This interacts with a lot of stakeholders and with the transformation ouch program to the customers as well as to the internal staff will be affected by the fare box system as you can see the details of all the different types of positions that be will be impacted as well as the transformation publpubli well go to the board of supervisors it is 10 million and later this summary issue receipts to the vendor and complete the training of the our folks and then well start implementing at the pilot position that will make sure we workout the concerns and by spring we should have accepted this thats my presentation if you have any questions. Thank you, mr. Lee. I have a quick question i appreciate all the author outreach i have a question and appreciate the note that the ada is wonderful and vested or vested with any people especially with the visual impairment sometimes and then it didnt work i want to make sure that vesting is taking place. Thats a great question we presented to mac so everyone has a change accessibility advisory committee; is that correct. We presented to them probably about a month or two ago and had a chance to subcontract with the boxes. Great. This is the change correct. The exact change. You cant use krrdz. No. Did you think about those at all. Clrpz two want to looking at the technologies may include krrdz or ways of open Payment Systems that system itself is not have that. In the future it is set up with the technology to accommodate that. Were looking at that potentially the clipper system this fare box doesnt have this currently embedded if the fare box. But what will the new muni an. It is separate one of the issues where implementing krrdz is the latent fee time to verify the krrdz through the clipper program were looting that 2. Owe. How will the app interact. The app is separate when you use the muni mobile app it is tied to our credit cards youll see that the operators and inspectors see that someone has purchased a ticket to a muni mobility and that is completely individual this is another way to pay. I mean, i wish there was some way those two a, aligned so the driveway is not the muni mobile app is primarily verified with the transit fair inspectors the people can flash it the verification is done by the inspectors. If i may mr. Chair, i that that i want to make sure it is clear this driver the operators didnt do any enforcements; right . With payment and so i think that what happens is if youre paying with a credit card to the directors want it is important that people know you cant do that and get the word out when you pay with a credit card you you know do it there the app and no interaction with the operators i want to make sure we have a policy or awareness at least that from my understanding not to the r not the operators job to enforce the proof of payment as needed or might be acquired through the mobile muni app; is that correct. What weve been working to remove the operator from the traction one of the leading causes of assaults on operators are disputes of the fair transaction so the guidance that is given to the operates is if someone is intraerg from the front door is didnt pay or show the mobile app or transfer or some other proof of payment the operators should engage with the consumer to reminded them they need to pay if the computer didnt this is a change in policy if the consumer doesnt the operator didnt pursue the issue the operators has enough to do their jobs thats why we have the inspectors and entered by 20 percent the number of inspectors and their equipped and trained to be able to deal with fair transaction and i know we hear from a lot of folks people get on without paying a lot of ways that people can pay without even without the clipper card with the student passes and transfers a lot of people have clipper cards whether this is a pass or free muni or a policy they should tap a card theyve paid so the last time we look at the fair compliance that jason led that was relatively low 7 percentage and 7. 9 percent so something were concerned about but found more harm good than coming from the operators having to engage with folks so thats a long answer but continually insuring that people pay fair share but a stack of muni rides it sits up front of the operator is another cause of assaults on operators so moving to this eliminates the transfer even though it it is really a great thing not just for the system but for the operators in particular so operators safeties benefits are important here i do awhile i might commend jason and the folks hes working with under the leadership the chief walton and our chief Financial Officer as he said this project will touch a lot of folks the operators, the mechanics the fare box shop a lot of people had been impacted and a lot of work with a lot of fleet types those fare boxs have to spend a lot work in good clean procurement process to get us to the point this will make a difference for the riders and operators and for everyone else that touches the fare box in muni. Thank you jason. Another point. Another question i was going to ask i know we have a 90 minute window and the reasons people like getting the fairs the paper transfers the driver will be more generous than the muni policy i dont know if we looked at why we choose 90 minutes and not 2 hours i think that 49 from the mission to van ness and back is two hours your transfer wouldnt get quick so i dont know im not trying to open up the pandoras box for 90 minutes that is one of the concerns for people in the transfer. I dont know that that is something weve looked at recently but i do know we have one of the most generous transfer policies in the country and a lot of systems dont offer transfers many that offer them like in new york not free unlimited rides for a period of time some are more restrictive and only one way and in a continuous route so something we can look at in the board desires it is true that theyre generous tears in the Transit System it will bring the transfer a reality in line with the current fair policy. Director ramos. Yeah. I had a quick question about the enter face with the customer or the passenger i should say on slide 5 under the fare box features wondering if well have any input on this design here i think it could stand for improvements. Yeah. This is diagram is just the standard model so if you have any particular suggestions. I think that the only people that care are the x p x jen fair being the first one people who are looking for a fare box revenue machines i dont know if there are a lot of people in San Francisco it would be a Good Opportunity to make sure when you know particularly people riding from out find town weve had a lot of people what goes where and if you have a clipper cards you know this should be clear where the clipper card is tagged and if youre trying to speed a transfer it is clear youre not pushing your transfer where youll get one out all of this this can be more intuitive than it is i dont know the diagram can look more like a bill you you mention what i mean 2 need to be designed intuitive so that i know when i go to other cities eye experience the systems for the first time is it so overwhelming and takes time what am i supposed to do where and it is increasing worse if i dont speak the language and a lot of folks english as a second language so it is challenging it is important that has San Francisco is diverse of a ridership we have that raise the bar how intuitive those machines are and so it can be readily available to anyone and understandable what media you have to be able to director ramos thank you for your feedback well be working with the Communications Group to put on decals on the fare box to do exactly what youre talking about this is just like the model for the fair it wont look like this. Thank you. Im curious is there a way to rewrite the software to change the transfer times depend on where the buses are located or what time of day. Yes. Thats a great examine director shoe it is to adopt to any fair policies that the board adopts for example, if you choose to modify the expiration from the minutes to two hours or policies bans times of day is this fare box will do that in addition a reference to plugging two the cat our Radio Communication the cat l system if you have dispatch automatically to tell us which route a bus or train is on so well be able to know when someone puts in a fair what will be able to record an event with the location and time stamp so in the future if you decide that that different routed for different fairs box. Thank you, mr. Jason, i know that people will miss the paper transfers youll tap into that many kids get tattoos. Our dwell time will not change theyll rip off the transfer but theyll push a button and it sounds like it will decrease that directing amount brought to your attention that the cash we spend 8 million i think what was number and perhaps bring that number down a bit. Well, we have not looking at a similar process in terms of our cash reserveers were not this is great i think that will be really good to update and transition more people to clipper cards and they move that generous benefit weve had and i think this is going to be such a Good Opportunity for us to perhaps be the last board that spends money on fare box and take 5 or 6 years as the time in which we transition and start to wean people off the cash completely a timeline of 5 years to do that would be perfect it had you been fantastic i know the fewer fare box will be only a clipper tag or a proof of commitment maybe a medium term motion. That sounds like a motion. Mr. Chairman none turned in a speaker card. Anyone wish to comment sienna emotion and second seeing none, the is have it. Presentation discussing the regarding the transportation 2030 Task Force Directors no numbers of the public have an interest in addressing you on this matter. Glad someone has director reiskin. Yes. 3 minutes. I failed to turn in any speaker cards. Director. Good morning Board Members want to take the opportunity to give you an update on the transportation 2030 process and in particular because we hope there to be things moving to the ballot this november and the decisions in the coming weeks in this building want to make sure your counter with all that is happening so just to remind you the Transportation Task force was convened by mayor ed lee back in 2013 it was 50 folks from around the city business from labor to Community Groups and advocates to develop a road map what the mayor say was this was an area of city policy area weve not paid attention he pulled forked to get our arms around what we need to do invest in infrastructure and meet days and future needs the Task Force Made a recommendation to refresh youre asking for memory ill walk through this is a snapshot this is just folks know fairly broadbased groups groups that participated and others following the Task Force Work so ill say the universe of folks focusing on the transportation in the city and additional effort that was great so obviously the champ that we faced back in 2013 not different than at challenge today although weve made great progress but from conditions on our streets to the stress on the Transit System to the safety issues we talk about at every meeting the challenge it there in terms of more difficult to reliable and get around the city so that was the context the finding of the task force were that the infrastructure that we have today and the condition it is in is not going to be accurate to meet todays let alone future needs as a result the task force Development Recommendation and all the finding sounds like but from anecdotal to analytical we brought this data a lot of information conditions of our systems not just ours but bart and caltrain and others and information about the conditions of the streets so that folks can think this not we need to do something but have particular needs and how best to aid them so these railroad the 3 recommendations that the first to invest in programs that really have the best bank for the buck in terms of improving the Transportation System specific recommendation regarding revenues to pursue locally to meet the needs and recognizing we cant meet all the needs but continue to get the federal and state dollars to compliment the investments locally so with regard to the first recommendation while the folks on the task force understood as we do today a lot of growth into the city i think what the education that was provided the dictated that was provided pointed to say that the state of current infrastructure that is maintained and responsible for the underlying Current System on the streets and muni and others providers that has a pretty significant deficit in terms of itself in the state of good repair so we can continue to move todays riders and todays traffic so the task force recommended really focusing on this core of Transportation System and enhancements to it with any new revenue we generated and at the bottom permitted generating close to 33 million with the revenue focused on the core and enhancements that gets the core Transportation System and the enhancements that we identified between 2 3rds eyes 3 are krortsdz with 3 billion and would start chipping away at what we need to do for the future of the transportations system but leaving that quite a bit further on funding so what the task force identified was 10 billion worth of needs over the 15 years period what under 44 billion to meet that need leaving the gap of 6 billion the task force recommended 3 billion with the balance to be compromised with regional and federal revenues place of entertainment specifically they recommended 500 million go bond that is substantially the following year brought to the ballot in november of 2014 you mean was proved we the voter and end up not recommended by the task force but came along a adjustment to the way the bottom line is a calculated to account for population growth that was established to be retroactive for the population growth over the 10 years or so that brought in between 25 and 30 million annually as well so those funds prop a and prop b from 2014 are what we invest if and are possible because of those funds what the task force recommended were 3 additional revenues measures and additional half cents sales tax for transportation a restoration of the fee that was less thaned during the schwarzenegger and the sgrond in 2020. The voters made the changes to the set aside and last year late last year the mta board and the board of supervisors approved the Transportation Sustainability fee that brought Residential Development and essentially go significantly increased the amount of revenue dedicated to transportation infrastructure that capitalized from new development that is happening and increased by more than 60 percent over the old Transit Development fee that was itch more narrowly focused so with those additional funds this is a lot more weve been to chip away at the deficit that the task force identified the prop a the goading go bond was organized and focusing on the reliability of Street Safety the blue on the chart shows the First Issuance of the bonds that was done last year and from that some of the projects that ive talked about today that youve approved over the last year and including some have gone into the ground are marketrate on the streets in terms of physical improvements on the streets to reduce the relays and increase muni and more buses were enjoying and the funding for caltrain improvements additional benefits that have been National Guard are launching the transit routes and frequency on 34 and allowing the next years budget to continue the free muni programs as well as implementation of the muni depict strategies as you recall the recommendations of new equity strategy that seeks to address inqualities in Transit Service to protecting neighborhood were compromised in our budget in part because of the additional funds from the Funding Sources and then the other side of the transit investment the investment in safe streets much of what youve talked about earlier is enabled by the Revenue Sources including some of the things that are in the ground like bike spot improvements safety improvements and schools and a lot of what we call a quick stave save and quick manufactured around town the obstacles and other changes part of that 13 Mental Illness a year vision zero much of it will be funded by the measures those dollars the voters approved and the board of supervisors are going to the ground to make 9 transportation more reliable as you may know we completed the first 24 projects in 24 years ive mentioned the 57 in process and the 13 miles enabled by the revenues that or i think successful at the ballot because of the task force that was thoughtful and analytic progress that helped to identify the needs well continue that work with the bond dollars we have well be investing in some of the enhancing some of the muni those are focus on the highest ridership and continuing to insult new and updated Traffic Signals with the audible and pedestrian count down that is part of the vision zero efforts prop b which is the agenugmentan will offer haul the buses and bond fund cant be used on vehicles this prop b is helpful in getting more update in existing vehicles and standing the paratransit fleet in the Capital Budget and rehabilitating escalators so that was the second recommendation that was the new revenues in terms of third one there have been indigents we had mtc participating in the task force and the commitment we got from mtc was basically that San Francisco voters are willing to step forward and go into their pockets for the transportation the region will try to match a portion of that investment to a right around the time when the Task Force Recommendations caught the mtc developed a fraction for state cap trade fund before that program had developed but identified San Francisco and muni in particular as a potential recipient once the program calmed we applied for with the region and secured 41 million towards our light rail vehicles and new light rail vehicles and recently applied for another 56 million so seeking close to 2 million for state cap trade with the support of San Francisco voters that step forward and showed were billing e willing to do our part cap trade is shaky in recent months, were still confident that the investment were making will help us leverage the dollars with the states cap trade dollars weve been supporting efforts by bart you know 3. 5 go bond weve worked with them and as well as the federal Transit Administration capacity Grant Application by caltrain as part of funding to fund caltrain electrification the city is a contributor the fast act the federal bill was approved since the task force met and stabilized it over a longterm were continuing to support the regional and state and federal efforts because we wont be able to do this within San Francisco even with a bold plan and the measures so finally that brings us to 2016 and there are two measures that have been introduced that would help follow the recommendations of the Transportation Task force one is a twaerdz cent sales tax that raise one and 50 million of general Fund Revenues for the city the second a Charter Amendment introduced that would allocate new general Fund Revenues to areas one hundred Million Dollars of transportation and 50 million to Homeless Services as introduced the transportation dollars would be allocated as shown on the slide and fund the paving program as well as muni and safety and Regional Transit efforts so much of this was informed by the work of task force some of this is changing as negotiations tennessee various parties and stakeholders but it was id like a good consensus within the Mayors Office and say difference groups of board of supervisors and other stakeholders to get to what was introduced has been continued go discussions between various parties to tweak the proposal this charter mainstream will be and rules committee this thursday the 34ur had been at the budget and finance and come together at the full board as xhaepd the budget and other things for the November Ballot this was coming theres a lot of things out of the task force process i thought that is a good time to give you an update i believe the Transportation Authority is getting an update on this day and going through the board of supervisors process thats the end of that presentation ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. I do want to acknowledge if i get one more moment we yeah start of timer now joined at the agency by carolyn we brought over from the metropolitan transportation brought up the work on the long term Transportation Planning and newcomers things we were doing at the agency over the last year or so and was really the agencies lead and lead point of contact working with the Mayors Office and the supervise offices and the Transportation Authority and planning department, public works and others to get to this point and really her good work get us to the consensus and got us close today to seeing this recommendation from the task force make it to the ballot she recently informed us shes returning to the east bay to work closer to home and working on transportation issues were sorry to see her go but thanks her for the interpretation work in a shortterm a tremendous amount of work and the establishing herself as a knowledgeable sf team shes here i dont know if she wants it say anything but personally thank her for her efforts now i left my heart in San Francisco thank you for your report opens the very last page the transportation theres a number of things that could fall into that bucket muni forward so some of the physical changes on the center that are enhancing Muni Services falls into the option obstruct and things that bart are doing to enhance their system can fall into that bucket the regional budget is to fund the bart that the counties share on barts new railcars but used so for other regional efforts like the caltrain and ferries by the way, the option to explore the other funds. How in terms of muni forward what did that mean what did it look like. So the because that pot is potentialy uses by multiple provides like with others Transportation Authority governing funds at the beginning of the fiscal year they would create the programs say there are 10 million available this year for within the transit expansion or optimization for that process to knot with other needs with the Transportation Commission transportation Transportation Authority commission and their funding so administer to prop k. I was having a hard time like the van ness corridor brt is that specific that opens the door to talk about the changes weve done on that. Well the van ness projects that have been approved like the van ness project that have their viral clearance are approves people can talk about them but the decisions with made the designs are final and bringing two Construction Contracts many of our projects that are approved at that board have funding that 0 flows that the Transportation Authority so wounded change anything they can ask questions about the project their funding but generally working with the board office as projects are brought here i dont see any fundamental change there instead of the money coming directly to us theyll be a grant process well assess those funds. The Mission Project we talked about this morning. Again i dont think that will fundamentally change we sometimes have prop k funding with some of the projects but, yeah it is more a process if the monies are coming directly to you whether or not were using prop k or ftes funds but go through the partners and that would joy category of funds be would be going through that funding partner process as well. Funding process thank you very much directors. Thank you, tom got to the question i had as well as the administration of the funds i think i see that we know that worked with prop k and the sales funds and it is similar to that; correct . It will be a similar a similar handing of the money in the awarding of the people money. Were continuing to work with the Transportation Authority to make those processes important fetish so maybe opportunities here in that they dont have this Charter Amendment and not the opportunities to streamline well continue to work in partnering with the Transportation Authority to make sure that process is not standing in the way of our delivering improvements to people on the streets. Thank you, no it looks fabulous i appreciate the update weve been getting questions it that will be on the November Ballot so this helps answer that question thank you. Members of the board. Ms. Bloomer. None has turned in a speaker card and none moving forward. Thank you director reiskin and appreciate that. All right. Directors item 13 vote to invoke the Attorney Client privilege.
