Chair and members of the public and staff i wanted to take the opportunity the third meeting in a row want to acknowledge somewhat an extraordinary effort by the folks to address some important issues and folks being honored want to step forward the give you a little bit of background soon after you hired me to do this job with the representatives of the transported workers and unions i learned of something that many of us take for granted is a very issue of great importance to transit operators thats the ability to find bathrooms to used during the course the course of day we use the booms and pause to use the bathroom, when youre a transit prartsd there are on terminals in your route you can do that thats one constraint the second this is arguably part of job that going in that youre sitting if that asset for a duration over the course of your shift but what was most concerning at the terminals not restrooms for them to use and thinking what we take for granted a basic need to use a restroom that is alarming in 2012 basis of at this point a lot of the restroom issues were dealt with there the Real Estate Division using the commercial locations near our terminals that enter with the access to them turn to our real estate chief person and strengthened her as the chief officer of the sfmta and asked her to put together information to help that is con intended with our employees she put together and team that is recommended by the some of the folks not just from her own division from the department of technology but the Construction Division and from the Transit Division but you in concluding the union reps and they identified in necessarily 2012 there were one hundred and 2 terminals 57 had a gap of no or limit restrooms thats an enormous number so there is different ways to close the gaps anything from a porta potty other options but limited or no Restroom Facilities so over the course since 2012 when this group was established they have 200 meetings i think that were established theyve closed those gaps from 57 down to 14 and we are working to close the rest of those that includes the 6 Million Capital Program that is part of effort and theyve done a lot of work i dont to go into the details it is an extraordinary effort for something that is anyone menu detain when we dont provide that option that has the service as you cant imagine so i am pleased to recognize this group and working with the agencies with the union that represents our employees for the theyre working and achieving a lot in a relatively horticulture amount of time so for some of the folks ill recognize that are here gary our real estate manager and william part of real estate team, robert the current project manager for the capital part preceded by mr.

Thank you ed reiskin and a pleasure to serve as the operator those are the Team Operators and others in the past and weve youll pulled together with consumption so it is really those 3 words and our support within directors and all the employees that helped us with the Property Agency so others want to Say Something and ron and hi, im mary and im the Senior Operations manager i want to mention our director john haley that gave us ongoing support in the endeavor i dont think there was ever one of the Staff Meetings we didnt talk about in terms of the on time performances and providing the basic necessities of our employees going goes without saying so definitely with johns support and the rest of the teams support and the operator and the people that ride our services thank you.

On behalf of the board of directors thank you to the operator and thank you very much for owning work appreciate it. clapping. director reiskin. Thank you, mr. Chair a number of things to cover today first, the disclosure felt Labor Agreement a number of different labor unions that represent our employees and about 7 of them many of those are under citywide collective Bargaining Agreement 7 that are under mta Labor Agreement and one that was expired and expiring in the fiscal year and the other expiring at the next of the fiscal year with many city contracts that one i was at the transport local 200 with the operators local 200 that represents classes such as transit supervisors, transit trainers, dispatchers and scheduleders and manages and folks working in the control center this is kind of the supervision part of transit operations that represents local 250 and 200 we entered into negotiations with them on march first of this year came to as negotiations went well and we had a tentative architecture with the 248 and local 200 negotiating team they brought that tentative agreement to the membership for vote and the membership voted it down so for the chapter we continued with the arresting tradition two sides went forward into arbitration and got a ruling from the arbitrator within the last week essentially awarded the tentative agreement that we previously negotiated with the team so the significant changes from the current collective Bargaining Agreement to the one be asked on this is a one year term starting july one through june 30th of next year that is syncing it up with the other contract and provide for a 3. 2 percent increase wage on july one that is in line with the rest of the City Employees and provides two fleeting holidays when they currently only get 3 and most of citys get four or five is it is up as well the taxi investor was recently came under that collective Bargaining Agreement so we agreed to do an analysis of that job class to insure that it was set at the right level of wage for the right type of work and a new job with the union and finally tightened up the grievance this is really good for both sides. The Funding Impact is about 1. 8 million that was into our budget so what were doing today former dloefrs to the board and available on the website and chapter requires it be any agreement submitted and desolated to the public 15 days before approval before the end of year for your consideration to approve it happy that the what is before you we negotiated with the norwalk team local 200 on the website and well be for your consideration so the progress is good and moving on to some other things that ma sonic avenue is something weve spent a lot of time and i dont know 2012 or so it was around 2012 it operationally is about to move into construction this month well be brown and black for public works that did it before and public works is delivering it in conjunction with us you may recall this project was Community Initiated in 2008, with the ma sonic project and that will build a safer month sonic up to geary is it so ma sonic is one of the high injury corridors near the top if 2009 to 2014 and were one hundred and 13 traffic collisions on ma sonic so and geary including 14 pedestrians, 4 bike collisions 2 people died on ma sonic so this is a very significant project for a lot of reasons and change the character the street that will change it i think from a kind of muni freeway that divides neighborhood into a neighborhood street that works well and primarily addresses the safeties issues with the one hundred plus 13 collisions some were fatality and the landscaper with the trees and shrubs and pedestrian scale sidewalks and raised bicycle lanes and the street will be repaved after the sewer system and water system is underground and loofsz sidewalk obnoxiously crossing distances and enhanced bus stops may recall the bicycle lanes were with the bus stops and there was a conflict San Francisco public works has accident pipeline and certainly this month is a 2 month duration project that our staff working with public works just completed an underground outreach this was a lot of outreach in the planning phase and construction was another significant round of outreach 82 thousand postcards mailed to residents and door to door to ma sonic residents and two on the corridors lots of information delivered to local institutions and cafes and combablz set up in the panhandle and talking about the project that information we held a precircus public open house end of may with public works and the puc to further help us understand what is coming and get their feedback more than one hundred and thirty folks that attended we have updates that mta. Org slash ma sonic people can sign up for updates with a huge project and make it safer and great to be there and a little bit of construction during the construction and working with public works to make sure we can minimize that but really looking forward okay moving on just want to update you think smart city challenge something ive mentioned a fooments close to cities that applied through the department of transportation western identified as one of the 7 finalists and the concept for the challenge from the u. S. Dot for us to define what it means it be a smart city to be Initiative Technology and driving cars and connective vehicles and other in any technologies related to transportation to advance safety, and particularly ladders of opportunities to deal with inquickest in our city and it comes with 40 million to winner from the u. S. Department of transportation and 10 million from the community that is heated by paul allen and focused an electrical vehicles and match with the 10 we were one of the 7 that were announced on march 12 we undertook the development from that financial lifted to develop an application that was submitted on may 24th in partnership with the Mayors Office and university of california berkley a lot of excitement and numerous partners who have pledged kind contributions of tech support with 150 million you put that together with the 50 from the feds the potential of a lot of money and leveraging and bringing in to the city to help invest in a system for the citys future one key aspect we in turn take the challenge that didnt come into the city heres what you do what will work in our city well bring that down to the neighborhood level what will work and in your neighborhood to use the challenge process template in order to issue that challenge to our neighborhood and asking be tdr in seeing chapter at some level of Automated Vehicles through technology to book and pay for the transportation those are some of the ideas that are out there that were seeking to pilot should be successful and been a lot of out of this process so but understanding to that end we hosted in california transportation secretary on may 18th and submitted our application on thursday the mayor travels to washington, d. C. To make the final pitch for other cities and we expect a decision on that late this summary been angle extraordinary effort and city agencies particularly uc berkley and other nonprofit and segment are partners putting together this San Francisco proposal that is pretty exciting and groundbreaking stuff and finally i thought ill mention has about been out in the public realm that there are a couple of chapter amendments were introduced at the board of supervisors but have relevance to our agency just wanted to let you know about those two in particular one of of them is something we worked on together with the county of Transportation Authority and the Mayors Office and a number of Supervisors Office that sets aside general Fund Revenues for transportation and for Homeless Services about 100 million for transportation and 50 million to Homeless Services over 25 year period that the transit transportation funds would be dedicated to street resurfacing and affordability and infrastructure needs and also programs like muni forward and Regional Transit needs and vision zero safer streets and investments so very much in the core of things were trying to do that with agency i mentioned our budget was assuming i guess well come forward and over accommodate it for the level should this chapter be agreement pass but im hoping it gets to the ballot it will kind of plug that gap that we assumed in our Capital Budget youve approved and now before the board of supervisors the other chart amendment we didnt permeate in but makes changes captor changes to the governance and the board currently as you know all 7 members of the board are in the mind by the mayor and conformed by the board of supervisors this chart amendment gives the mayor 4 nominees to this board to be subject to the board of supervisors confirmation from the board of supervisors so well splitter the appointment for other divisions and also change the threshold of which the board of supervisors can reject the mta budget roadway it takes more than the majority of supervisors it takes 7 of the 11 and this proposal makes it set for the majority of board of supervisors to reject our proposal want to let you know the who chapters the board of supervisors has until the end of july to the ballot just wanted you to have those and weve worked closely with the Mayors Office and also the board of supervisors on the chart amendment so were happy to see that and excludes myself presentation.
