Them travel safely two and from school and i would like to provide some context for all of what we do including those on the Pedestrian Safety side starting with vision zero but also talking about our safe routes to school program, the School Crossing guards program and Accessible Services and then im going to turn it over to julie from our Transit Operations Division to really dive into the Transit Services component as well as free muni for youth. I will note that just having listened to the presentation on summer schools that jobs and the program that muni has is well received and is a Year...

Summer now and fourth summer, wow, so this is the fourth summer and i think part of the challenge coming into this was not ever having a coordinated effort or a place for the young people to go where they can have the applications come in and on the back end have Jobs Available for them so this is everybody has been doing their own thing making their own connection and having their own relationships so this whole effort is tremendous just in terms of the relationships that have been built over the years.

That is a fair question. We have looked at other what other cities are doing and did Practice Research to se...

My understanding it was mutually agreed upon by this committee and the citys Vision Zero Task force so yes, those projects were not invented in the spring of 2014 many of them were projects that had been under consideration may be stalled in design and others were things that we did develop and accelerate. What i think they all have in common is they are being delivered a lot faster than they would have had we not had that commitment. And coordination with the mta and better communication and coordination is one strategy what...
