55
00:10:19,427 --> 00:10:20,528

and we are marking you as

57
00:10:21,796 --> 00:10:23,364
present. Before we start our

58
00:10:23,364 --> 00:10:24,332
agenda today, I want to

59
00:10:24,332 --> 00:10:26,467
recognize that SEPTEMBER is

60
00:10:26,467 --> 00:10:29,305
transit month, and here at mtc

61
00:10:29,305 --> 00:10:30,940
we are all about transit. Our

62
00:10:30,940 --> 00:10:32,673
transportation network, whether

63
00:10:32,673 --> 00:10:35,730
we're walking, biking, taking

64
00:10:36,211 --> 00:10:38,146
transit, carle patioing, using

65
00:10:38,146 --> 00:10:39,481
micromobility or driving is

66
00:10:39,481 --> 00:10:41,500
about more than getting from one

67
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:42,385
place to another. It's about

68
00:10:42,385 --> 00:10:43,190
connecting people to

69
00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:44,886
opportunity, community, and to

70
00:10:44,886 --> 00:10:45,620
each other. This month we are

71
00:10:45,620 --> 00:10:47,422
highlighting one of the bay

72
00:10:47,422 --> 00:10:49,692
area's most essential mobility

73
00:10:49,692 --> 00:10:51,893
options, transit. Mtc is proud

74
00:10:51,893 --> 00:10:53,361
to join our partners across the

75
00:10:53,361 --> 00:10:54,396
bay area in recognizing the

76
00:10:54,396 --> 00:10:55,864
people, services and connections

77
00:10:55,864 --> 00:10:57,766
that keep our region moving

78
00:10:57,766 --> 00:10:59,668
every day. And we hope everyone

79
00:10:59,668 --> 00:11:01,770
gets a chance to take part by

80
00:11:01,770 --> 00:11:04,770
riding transit, exploring a new

81
00:11:04,906 --> 00:11:06,942
route or attend one of the many

82
00:11:06,942 --> 00:11:07,777
transit month events happening

83
00:11:07,777 --> 00:11:09,444
throughout the region. We will

84
00:11:09,444 --> 00:11:11,780
start with our consent calendar.

85
00:11:11,780 --> 00:11:14,615
These are items -- this is item

86
00:11:14,615 --> 00:11:16,151
2, and it includes items 2a

87
00:11:16,151 --> 00:11:17,252
through 2f. Do I have a motion

88
00:11:17,252 --> 00:11:18,687
and a second to approve the

89
00:11:18,687 --> 00:11:20,121
consent calendar?

90
00:11:20,121 --> 00:11:22,121
>>speaker: so moved.

91
00:11:22,624 --> 00:11:24,250
>>speaker: second.

92
00:11:24,250 --> 00:11:25,694
Okay. We have a motion and a

93
00:11:25,694 --> 00:11:26,395
second. Are there any committee

94
00:11:26,395 --> 00:11:29,197
members who would like to

95
00:11:29,197 --> 00:11:31,766
comment on this item? Seeing

96
00:11:31,766 --> 00:11:33,336
none, there any public comment?

97
00:11:33,336 --> 00:11:35,370
>>speaker: through the chair --

98
00:11:35,370 --> 00:11:36,972
>>speaker: I'm so sorry, diane.

99
00:11:36,972 --> 00:11:38,406
I apologize. And I actually

100
00:11:38,406 --> 00:11:40,800
knew you were going to make

101
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,142
comeanlt. Die yang, your

102
00:11:41,142 --> 00:11:43,142
comment, please.

103
00:11:45,248 --> 00:11:46,449
>>diane shaw: yeah. I guess a

104
00:11:46,449 --> 00:11:49,449
comment but also question on

105
00:11:49,452 --> 00:11:53,520
both 2e and 2f. I totally

106
00:11:54,656 --> 00:11:56,790
support the projects that sport

107
00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:57,959
bay bridge forward, they are

108
00:11:57,959 --> 00:11:59,327
really great projects. But my

109
00:11:59,327 --> 00:12:02,129
question is on both of those

110
00:12:02,129 --> 00:12:04,699
efforts, one of them was a

111
00:12:04,699 --> 00:12:07,990
$100,000 contract that we're now

112
00:12:08,203 --> 00:12:09,905
adding -- or $196, I should say,

113
00:12:09,905 --> 00:12:11,439
and we're now adding over

114
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:14,439
$400,000 to it. And the other

115
00:12:16,477 --> 00:12:18,513
one was a -- it also raises it

116
00:12:18,513 --> 00:12:20,913
quite extensively. My question

117
00:12:22,884 --> 00:12:25,987
is, is it work that is new work,

118
00:12:25,987 --> 00:12:29,724
and is it -- it just seems like

119
00:12:29,724 --> 00:12:31,358
there are big raises in existing

120
00:12:31,358 --> 00:12:32,861
contracts. So it didn't seem

121
00:12:32,861 --> 00:12:34,297
like it was work that just got

122
00:12:34,297 --> 00:12:36,831
delayed for some reason, and

123
00:12:36,831 --> 00:12:37,566
actually looks like it's a new

124
00:12:37,566 --> 00:12:38,600
work. I just wanted to make

125
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,571
sure that it was appropriate to

126
00:12:41,571 --> 00:12:43,710
do it under this type of

127
00:12:43,710 --> 00:12:43,972
extension where there are these

128
00:12:43,972 --> 00:12:46,972
types of increases to the

129
00:12:48,543 --> 00:12:49,978
original contract.

130
00:12:49,978 --> 00:12:53,150
Let' s have staff respond. I

131
00:12:53,150 --> 00:12:55,217
think it's helpful, and from a

132
00:12:55,217 --> 00:12:57,617
transparency standpoint to have

133
00:12:58,387 --> 00:12:59,888
that clarified. Thank you.

134
00:12:59,888 --> 00:13:01,888
>>speaker: good morning,

135
00:13:02,223 --> 00:13:03,925
michelle go, principle planner

136
00:13:03,925 --> 00:13:06,325
with capital delivery asset

137
00:13:06,962 --> 00:13:09,362
management and roadside tolling.

138
00:13:09,832 --> 00:13:12,133
So as you MAY be aware, our

139
00:13:12,133 --> 00:13:15,133
policies require us to seek

140
00:13:16,438 --> 00:13:17,472
approval from the committee for

141
00:13:17,472 --> 00:13:19,872
contracts or contract amendments

142
00:13:20,675 --> 00:13:22,710
over $200,000. In this case,

143
00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:25,146
this contract was set up to

144
00:13:25,146 --> 00:13:27,283
provide support for various bay

145
00:13:27,283 --> 00:13:28,182
bridge forward projects. And

146
00:13:28,182 --> 00:13:30,685
when we initially scoped the

147
00:13:30,685 --> 00:13:34,885
contract, it was set up to focus

148
00:13:35,857 --> 00:13:37,359
on three of our projects, the

149
00:13:37,359 --> 00:13:39,759
I-80 hofl lane access

150
00:13:40,428 --> 00:13:42,964
restrictions, the hov hours of

151
00:13:42,964 --> 00:13:45,667
operation on I-80, bay bridge,

152
00:13:45,667 --> 00:13:46,800
and car queen nez bridge, and

153
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,638
the early planning phases for

154
00:13:49,638 --> 00:13:52,700
our I-80 plus on shoulder

155
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:54,109
project. As our projects and

156
00:13:54,109 --> 00:13:57,109
our program have progressed, we

157
00:14:01,348 --> 00:14:04,850
would also like to add the --

158
00:14:04,850 --> 00:14:05,920
sorry. The scope is to provide

159
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,722
design oversight support and

160
00:14:06,722 --> 00:14:08,189
strategic guidance to help

161
00:14:08,189 --> 00:14:10,558
advance the delivery of the

162
00:14:10,558 --> 00:14:13,495
projects, and as our projects in

163
00:14:13,495 --> 00:14:15,864
this program have advanced and

164
00:14:15,864 --> 00:14:18,300
progressed, we would like to

165
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:20,534
also amend the contract to allow

166
00:14:20,534 --> 00:14:22,604
the consultant to provide the

167
00:14:22,604 --> 00:14:24,472
same support for the I-80

168
00:14:24,472 --> 00:14:26,472
localized transit priority

169
00:14:27,242 --> 00:14:28,143
strategies and hov strategies

170
00:14:28,143 --> 00:14:30,412
project, which is also part of

171
00:14:30,412 --> 00:14:31,913
the bay bridge forward program,

172
00:14:31,913 --> 00:14:34,313
and the remaining project

173
00:14:34,716 --> 00:14:37,716
development phases for the I-80

174
00:14:39,386 --> 00:14:39,988
bus on shoulder project. But in

175
00:14:39,988 --> 00:14:42,388
addition, the amendment would

176
00:14:43,525 --> 00:14:45,527
allow the consultant to develop

177
00:14:45,527 --> 00:14:48,630
and implement a plan to help

178
00:14:48,630 --> 00:14:50,297
improve the overall program

179
00:14:50,297 --> 00:14:53,297
delivery of the bay bridge

180
00:14:54,202 --> 00:14:56,602
forward program in consultation

181
00:14:58,707 --> 00:15:00,941
with both mtc staff and caltrans

182
00:15:00,941 --> 00:15:03,245
staff to facilitate the timely

183
00:15:03,245 --> 00:15:05,645
deliver reeve these transit

184
00:15:06,181 --> 00:15:09,181
priority and hov strategies with

185
00:15:10,218 --> 00:15:13,218
an eye towards meeting our

186
00:15:16,558 --> 00:15:18,558
federal funding deadlines.

187
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,261
Mari lyn and then diane. I'm

188
00:15:20,261 --> 00:15:21,162

189
00:15:21,162 --> 00:15:21,696
follow-up to this.

190
00:15:21,696 --> 00:15:22,597
>>v. Chair, marilyn ezzy

191
00:15:22,597 --> 00:15:25,597

00:15:25,599 --> 00:15:28,436
MADAM Chair. So clarify for me

193
00:15:28,436 --> 00:15:31,138
if you would, please, the --

194
00:15:31,138 --> 00:15:34,976
what is mtc policy as far as the

195
00:15:34,976 --> 00:15:36,244
dollar amount of an item that is

196
00:15:36,244 --> 00:15:37,245
brought to the commission on

197
00:15:37,245 --> 00:15:39,348
consent. Because in this case

198
00:15:39,348 --> 00:15:41,748
it's $1.2 million, if I

199
00:15:43,118 --> 00:15:43,785
understand this correctly.

200
00:15:43,785 --> 00:15:46,185
>> chair, candace andersen: for

201
00:15:49,791 --> 00:15:51,593
item 2f, yes. Anything over

202
00:15:51,593 --> 00:15:53,328
200,000 --

203
00:15:53,328 --> 00:15:54,796
>>speaker: excuse me, michelle.

204
00:15:54,796 --> 00:15:56,431
The commission in abag give me

205
00:15:56,431 --> 00:15:57,798
authority up to $200,000 and

206
00:15:57,798 --> 00:15:59,901
anything overcomes to the

207
00:15:59,901 --> 00:16:01,469
commission. We don't have a

208
00:16:01,469 --> 00:16:03,138
particular consent limit. We

209
00:16:03,138 --> 00:16:06,175
usually base it on whether or

210
00:16:06,175 --> 00:16:09,175
not there's a controversy or

211
00:16:10,611 --> 00:16:11,746
big, you know, change to maybe

212
00:16:11,746 --> 00:16:13,648
member diane's point.

213
00:16:13,648 --> 00:16:15,350
>>andrew fremier: you know, if

214
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:16,685
we feel like it needs to be

215
00:16:16,685 --> 00:16:17,352
elevated but there's no

216
00:16:17,352 --> 00:16:20,352
particular reason for consent or

217
00:16:20,989 --> 00:16:21,489
not or a limit.

218
00:16:21,489 --> 00:16:23,889
>>v. Chair, marilyn ezzy

219
00:16:24,859 --> 00:16:25,493
ashcraft: I see. Thank you for

220
00:16:25,493 --> 00:16:26,161
the clarification

221
00:16:26,161 --> 00:16:28,330
>> chair, candace andersen: and

222
00:16:28,330 --> 00:16:29,231
to our counsel, is it your

223
00:16:29,231 --> 00:16:31,666
opinion that the scope of the

224
00:16:31,666 --> 00:16:32,534
work that is being expanded is

225
00:16:32,534 --> 00:16:33,668
consistent enough with the

226
00:16:33,668 --> 00:16:35,102
original contract that under our

227
00:16:35,102 --> 00:16:38,102
policies we shouldn't be going

228
00:16:41,309 --> 00:16:41,911
out for a whole new rfp?

229
00:16:41,911 --> 00:16:43,178
>>speaker: yes, thank you for

230
00:16:43,178 --> 00:16:45,948
the question. This is well

231
00:16:45,948 --> 00:16:48,348
within mtc's contract and

232
00:16:49,184 --> 00:16:50,952
procurement guidelines.

233
00:16:50,952 --> 00:16:52,387
Okay. Diane, do you have any

234
00:16:52,387 --> 00:16:53,888
follow-up questions? Does this

235
00:16:53,888 --> 00:16:55,888
answer your concerns?

236
00:16:56,570 --> 00:16:58,293
>>diane shaw: yeah. I will say

237
00:16:58,293 --> 00:17:00,160
it answers the concern on 2b

238
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,562
because I can see where it's the

239
00:17:01,562 --> 00:17:04,232
same kind of work, they just

240
00:17:04,232 --> 00:17:05,166
want to do it on another

241
00:17:05,166 --> 00:17:06,166
project. So I can understand

242
00:17:06,166 --> 00:17:08,904
wanting to have the consistency

243
00:17:08,904 --> 00:17:11,172
on that. I do wonder about the

244
00:17:11,172 --> 00:17:13,141
second one where we're going

245
00:17:13,141 --> 00:17:14,976
from $575,000 and adding an

246
00:17:14,976 --> 00:17:16,976
additional $1.2 million, which

247
00:17:17,679 --> 00:17:19,614
is double -- it's going up 200%,

248
00:17:19,614 --> 00:17:21,448
and it seems like it's a new

249
00:17:21,448 --> 00:17:23,653
request. But if counsel feels

250
00:17:23,653 --> 00:17:25,319
that it falls within their

251
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:27,719
procurement guidelines, I will

252
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:32,827
accept that.

253
00:17:32,827 --> 00:17:34,429
>> chair, candace andersen: any

254
00:17:34,429 --> 00:17:38,290
other questions? Do we have any

255
00:17:38,980 --> 00:17:40,235
public comment on this item?

256
00:17:40,235 --> 00:17:42,700
>>clerk, brittny j. Sutherland:

257
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:44,205
thank you chair andersen. I do

258
00:17:44,205 --> 00:17:44,772
have one individual in the

259
00:17:44,772 --> 00:17:46,808
boardroom who would like to

260
00:17:46,808 --> 00:17:49,208
provide a public comment

261
00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:55,250
okay. Please go ahead.

262
00:17:55,250 --> 00:17:56,518
>>speaker: thank you, I'm going

263
00:17:56,518 --> 00:17:58,853
to talk about some things that

264
00:17:58,853 --> 00:18:01,253
you don't often have

265
00:18:02,190 --> 00:18:05,190
conversation about. We have a

266
00:18:05,727 --> 00:18:07,428
network female, and we have --

267
00:18:07,428 --> 00:18:09,730
we have a network item and we

268
00:18:09,730 --> 00:18:12,320
have an item for purchase of

269
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:12,934
fair media. The network item is

270
00:18:12,934 --> 00:18:15,334
of particular importance because

271
00:18:15,805 --> 00:18:17,939
we have to make sure that our

272
00:18:17,939 --> 00:18:20,339
network services are continuous.

273
00:18:21,209 --> 00:18:24,312
I think back to a presentation

274
00:18:24,312 --> 00:18:27,312
of the clipper executive board

275
00:18:28,183 --> 00:18:31,860
where bart was agrieved because

276
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:33,421
of a lapse in network coverage

277
00:18:33,421 --> 00:18:34,456
that caused their

278
00:18:34,456 --> 00:18:36,456
refrigerator-like vending

279
00:18:36,525 --> 00:18:40,125
machines to stop working. And I

280
00:18:40,495 --> 00:18:41,896
know what it's like when frig

281
00:18:41,896 --> 00:18:43,431
trait -- refrigerator stops

282
00:18:43,431 --> 00:18:45,166
working, so we have to keep

283
00:18:45,166 --> 00:18:47,360
their nice refrigerators going.

284
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:49,572
So this is essential because we

285
00:18:49,572 --> 00:18:52,507
don't want anything to turn off

286
00:18:52,507 --> 00:18:55,976
because people have to be able

287
00:18:55,976 --> 00:18:58,376
to reload their clipper

288
00:19:01,917 --> 00:19:04,917
accounts. And this other item,

289
00:19:05,553 --> 00:19:08,560
paragon, is about buying fair

290
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,325
media. And I am a very big

291
00:19:10,325 --> 00:19:12,930
believer in the idea of bring

292
00:19:12,930 --> 00:19:14,963
your own fare. It goes back to

293
00:19:14,963 --> 00:19:17,799
the idea of bring your own

294
00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:20,235
bottle, even if it's non-le

295
00:19:20,235 --> 00:19:21,735
choic item. -- even if it's a

296
00:19:21,735 --> 00:19:24,135
non-alcoholic item. But not

297
00:19:24,773 --> 00:19:25,675
everybody can bring their own

298
00:19:25,675 --> 00:19:27,709
fair media. Some people don't

299
00:19:27,709 --> 00:19:28,276
have phones. Even if you can

300
00:19:28,276 --> 00:19:30,145
get free phones, some people

301
00:19:30,145 --> 00:19:32,247
don't have phones. And they

302
00:19:32,247 --> 00:19:34,716
have flip phones, and we haven't

303
00:19:34,716 --> 00:19:35,650
done anything with flip phones

304
00:19:35,650 --> 00:19:37,452
to do their clipper with. And

305
00:19:37,452 --> 00:19:39,921
some people like plastic cards.

306
00:19:39,921 --> 00:19:41,555
You can get them in new york,

307
00:19:41,555 --> 00:19:43,892
the omni cards. We have the

308
00:19:43,892 --> 00:19:44,892
plastic clipper cards here.

309
00:19:44,892 --> 00:19:46,162
What we don't want is a

310
00:19:46,162 --> 00:19:47,796
situation where we run out of

311
00:19:47,796 --> 00:19:50,131
plastic clipper cards because

312
00:19:50,131 --> 00:19:51,199
then people can't go up to the

313
00:19:51,199 --> 00:19:53,468
nice refrigerators and add money

314
00:19:53,468 --> 00:19:56,304
to go to the retail network.

315
00:19:56,304 --> 00:19:57,500
And so, I mean, these are basic

316
00:19:57,500 --> 00:19:58,380
consent items but I state for

317
00:19:58,380 --> 00:20:00,141
the record their importance.

318
00:20:00,141 --> 00:20:02,141

supportive of our bay pass

00:21:11,212 --> 00:21:14,212

All of us are excited about

379
00:22:11,207 --> 00:22:12,540
clipper baypass is the region's

380
00:22:12,540 --> 00:22:14,876
first unlimited transit pass for

381
00:22:14,876 --> 00:22:16,878
rides on all bus, rail, and

382
00:22:16,878 --> 00:22:18,280
ferry in the 9-county region.

383
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,448
You can see on the map here all

384
00:22:20,448 --> 00:22:21,750
of the services included,

385
00:22:21,750 --> 00:22:24,150
essentially anything that takes

386
00:22:24,486 --> 00:22:25,887
clipper. Phase 1 of the baypass

387
00:22:25,887 --> 00:22:27,923
pilot launched in summer 2022

388
00:22:27,923 --> 00:22:30,458
and ran through fall of 2025 as

389
00:22:30,458 --> 00:22:31,393
a regionally-funded pilot

390
00:22:31,393 --> 00:22:32,761
program which was focused on

391
00:22:32,761 --> 00:22:34,262
university students and

392
00:22:34,262 --> 00:22:35,597
affordable housing residents.

393
00:22:35,597 --> 00:22:36,932
We're now in phase ii of the

394
00:22:36,932 --> 00:22:39,932
pilot, which launched in JANUARY

395
00:22:40,168 --> 00:22:41,670
of 2024 with ucsf as the very

396
00:22:41,670 --> 00:22:45,270
first bay area employer to join

397
00:22:45,874 --> 00:22:46,808
clipper baypass and our original

398
00:22:46,808 --> 00:22:48,910
launch partner for this phase

399
00:22:48,910 --> 00:22:50,412
the program. Phase ii is

400
00:22:50,412 --> 00:22:52,812
approved through 2030 and is

401
00:22:52,814 --> 00:22:54,216
funded by sales of baypass to

402
00:22:54,216 --> 00:22:56,216
partner organizations including

403
00:22:56,318 --> 00:22:57,353
employers such as ucsf,

404
00:22:57,353 --> 00:22:58,552
universities, property managers

405
00:22:58,552 --> 00:23:00,952
and other organizations. Next

406
00:23:01,890 --> 00:23:03,526
slide, please. Today we have

407
00:23:03,526 --> 00:23:05,526
30,s across 6 counties

408
00:23:05,827 --> 00:23:07,462

411
00:23:11,299 --> 00:23:12,867
both affordable and market rate

412
00:23:12,867 --> 00:23:14,735
properties, colleges,

413
00:23:14,735 --> 00:23:15,437
universities and other youth

state university, san jose state

416
00:23:18,939 --> 00:23:20,208
university, which just launched

417
00:23:20,208 --> 00:23:23,208
at the beginning of this

418
00:23:23,345 --> 00:23:25,446
academic year, uc berkeley and

419
00:23:25,446 --> 00:23:26,948
ucsf. It also includes

420
00:23:26,948 --> 00:23:27,649
employers across a variety of

421
00:23:27,649 --> 00:23:29,484
sectors including healthcare,

422
00:23:29,484 --> 00:23:30,185

professional services and

424
00:23:31,685 --> 00:23:33,121
technology. We've included a

425
00:23:33,121 --> 00:23:34,289
few notes on the slides

426
00:23:34,289 --> 00:23:35,825
regarding some of the positive

427
00:23:35,825 --> 00:23:37,726
findings from the evaluation

428
00:23:37,726 --> 00:23:40,228
reports that really show the

429
00:23:40,228 --> 00:23:42,631
amazing impact that baypass can

430
00:23:42,631 --> 00:23:45,631
have. Next slide, please. This

431
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:47,680
chart shows the growth in the

432
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,436
baypass program just within that

433
00:23:48,436 --> 00:23:49,704
phase ii pilot that we're

434
00:23:49,704 --> 00:23:51,239
currently in, which launched in

435
00:23:51,239 --> 00:23:53,308
JANUARY of 2024. Over the last

436
00:23:53,308 --> 00:23:54,775
two and a half years or, so the

437
00:23:54,775 --> 00:23:56,511
program has grown from about

438
00:23:56,511 --> 00:23:57,913
43,000 participates across fewer

439
00:23:57,913 --> 00:23:59,913
than 10 organizations, you'll

440
00:24:00,715 --> 00:24:02,516
see on the left, nearly doubling

441
00:24:02,516 --> 00:24:04,152
in 2025 and currently again

442
00:24:04,152 --> 00:24:06,152
we're at 30 participating

443
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:08,489
organizations with more than

444
00:24:08,489 --> 00:24:10,489
130,000 people receiving baypass

445
00:24:10,592 --> 00:24:13,592
from their school, employer, or

446
00:24:16,998 --> 00:24:18,998
other organization. This

447
00:24:19,301 --> 00:24:20,835
131,000 participants includes

448
00:24:20,835 --> 00:24:22,237
ucsf's current participates.

449
00:24:22,237 --> 00:24:23,672
The partnership agreement will

450
00:24:23,672 --> 00:24:25,672
add more than 25,000

451
00:24:26,341 --> 00:24:28,275
participates to the program.

452
00:24:28,275 --> 00:24:29,211
Soda city live like to turn to

453
00:24:29,211 --> 00:24:29,810
speak specifically about the

454
00:24:29,810 --> 00:24:31,746
recommended partnership

455
00:24:31,746 --> 00:24:34,146
agreement before you. Next

456
00:24:34,549 --> 00:24:36,818
slide. As I mentioned earlier,

457
00:24:36,818 --> 00:24:38,421
ucsf was our very first phase ii

458
00:24:38,421 --> 00:24:39,821
partner originally offering

459
00:24:39,821 --> 00:24:41,356
baypass to just under 6,000

460
00:24:41,356 --> 00:24:41,923
employees and quickly growing

461
00:24:41,923 --> 00:24:43,959
their involvement to include

462
00:24:43,959 --> 00:24:45,993
more than 8,000 students as well

463
00:24:45,993 --> 00:24:47,628
as employees. They've been

464
00:24:47,628 --> 00:24:50,280
outspoken supporter of baypass

465
00:24:50,732 --> 00:24:52,670
since the beginning including

466
00:24:52,670 --> 00:24:53,834
kindly participating in some of

467
00:24:53,834 --> 00:24:54,769
our marketing efforts for the

468
00:24:54,769 --> 00:24:58,340
program. You can see here in

469
00:24:58,340 --> 00:25:01,340
the quotes included from ucsf

470
00:25:05,780 --> 00:25:07,780
senior vice-chancellor aaron

471
00:25:10,619 --> 00:25:13,153
ascore as well as the ucsf

472
00:25:13,153 --> 00:25:14,789
employees. Next slide, please.

473
00:25:14,789 --> 00:25:16,958
Under the remind partnership

474
00:25:16,958 --> 00:25:19,193
agreement before you today, ucsf

475
00:25:19,193 --> 00:25:21,262
plans to expand bipass to all

476
00:25:21,262 --> 00:25:23,262
registered fee-paying students

477
00:25:24,198 --> 00:25:25,367
and all benefits-eligible

478
00:25:25,367 --> 00:25:27,435
employees, covering a total of

479
00:25:27,435 --> 00:25:29,835
36,000 participates up from the

480
00:25:31,373 --> 00:25:32,140
current 8300 or so. Ucsf's

481
00:25:32,140 --> 00:25:33,807
existing agreement runs through

482
00:25:33,807 --> 00:25:35,443
the end this calendar year.

483
00:25:35,443 --> 00:25:36,845
This new partnership agreement

484
00:25:36,845 --> 00:25:39,245
with the expanded participation

485
00:25:39,681 --> 00:25:41,983
pool would begin JANUARY 1st,

486
00:25:41,983 --> 00:25:43,685
2027 and run through

487
00:25:43,685 --> 00:25:45,855
JUNE 30th, 2030. Under the

488
00:25:45,855 --> 00:25:48,255
new partnership agreement, ucsf

489
00:25:48,323 --> 00:25:49,791
will pay the full clipper fare

490
00:25:49,791 --> 00:25:50,792
for each transit taken bit

491
00:25:50,792 --> 00:25:53,280
eligible participate as well as

492
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,628
the annual service fee. As a

493
00:25:59,634 --> 00:26:01,201
reminder, in 2024 the committee

494
00:26:01,201 --> 00:26:03,405
approved a delegated contract

495
00:26:03,405 --> 00:26:03,939
authority up to a $5 million

496
00:26:03,939 --> 00:26:04,539
value for the partnership

497
00:26:04,539 --> 00:26:06,807
agreements, which is why you

498
00:26:06,807 --> 00:26:08,143
don't see us all the time but

499
00:26:08,143 --> 00:26:10,312
the exact value of this

500
00:26:10,312 --> 00:26:11,980
agreement will depend on actual

501
00:26:11,980 --> 00:26:13,682
usage but we do anticipate that

502
00:26:13,682 --> 00:26:14,716
it will exceed $5 million over

503
00:26:14,716 --> 00:26:16,551
the life of the contract. We're

504
00:26:16,551 --> 00:26:18,852
very excited to continue our

505
00:26:18,852 --> 00:26:21,890
partnership with ucsf and for

506
00:26:21,890 --> 00:26:23,892
their show of support by

507
00:26:23,892 --> 00:26:26,292
expanding baypass for committing

508
00:26:27,461 --> 00:26:27,662
to the program for the future

509
00:26:27,662 --> 00:26:29,164
years.

510
00:26:29,164 --> 00:26:29,798
Thank you.

511
00:26:29,798 --> 00:26:30,632
>> chair, candace andersen: do

512
00:26:30,632 --> 00:26:31,266
we have any public comment

513
00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:33,666
>>clerk, brittny j. Sutherland:

514
00:26:34,350 --> 00:26:35,670
I do have one individual in the

515
00:26:35,670 --> 00:26:37,372
boardroom. Aleta dupree, you'll

516
00:26:37,372 --> 00:26:39,372
have 2 minutes

517
00:26:39,808 --> 00:26:42,208
>>speaker: thanks again, chair

518
00:26:45,647 --> 00:26:48,647
candace and members. I'm aleta

519
00:26:48,984 --> 00:26:51,721
dupree with team vaults. I've

520
00:26:51,721 --> 00:26:52,654
probably been talking about bay

521
00:26:52,654 --> 00:26:53,755
baypass more than anybody ever

522
00:26:53,755 --> 00:26:55,824
since it was just a dream. And

523
00:26:55,824 --> 00:26:58,920
this is big. I know something

524
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,228
about this neighborhood. Try

525
00:27:00,228 --> 00:27:02,430
finding a place to park the

526
00:27:02,430 --> 00:27:03,330
arrest over there. And the

527
00:27:03,330 --> 00:27:05,367
n-judah line runs pretty close

528
00:27:05,367 --> 00:27:07,202
to it not to be confused with

529
00:27:07,202 --> 00:27:08,236
the n service of the new york

530
00:27:08,236 --> 00:27:11,836
city subway which I have used

531
00:27:13,342 --> 00:27:15,342
many, many times. 36,000

532
00:27:15,876 --> 00:27:17,879
people. This is showing to be

533
00:27:17,879 --> 00:27:19,879
financially sustainability, and

534
00:27:22,550 --> 00:27:25,550
this does affect me because

535
00:27:28,857 --> 00:27:31,927
having more people on the system

536
00:27:31,927 --> 00:27:35,527
offers to me benefits of both

537
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:37,832
fare revenue and presence. I

538
00:27:37,832 --> 00:27:41,432
would rather have more people on

539
00:27:41,569 --> 00:27:43,471
the train than less. This is

540
00:27:43,471 --> 00:27:45,607
about paying into the system.

541
00:27:45,607 --> 00:27:48,843
It's often said in new york that

542
00:27:48,843 --> 00:27:52,443
to use new york city transit

543
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,684
about 15% of the cost of an

544
00:27:55,684 --> 00:27:56,919
automobile. I'm not sure that

545
00:27:56,919 --> 00:27:58,587
there are many people who say

546
00:27:58,587 --> 00:28:00,655
that. I would say that the same

547
00:28:00,655 --> 00:28:01,622
here is somewhat true, even for

548
00:28:01,622 --> 00:28:03,359
some who MAY have to commute

549
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,292
long distances. If they can

550
00:28:05,292 --> 00:28:06,827
leave their car away from

551
00:28:06,827 --> 00:28:07,461
san francisco and take public

552
00:28:07,461 --> 00:28:10,164
transportation to get here, I'm

553
00:28:10,164 --> 00:28:11,900
sure many of them will use bart,

554
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:14,300
which bart has unique

555
00:28:14,402 --> 00:28:16,802
distinction of being the

556
00:28:17,639 --> 00:28:18,540
people's system. 2030. This

557
00:28:18,540 --> 00:28:19,940
shows commitment for what we're

558
00:28:19,940 --> 00:28:22,444
doing. I hope that more will

559
00:28:22,444 --> 00:28:23,912
join on this because this is

560
00:28:23,912 --> 00:28:26,912
showing the template of what

561
00:28:28,117 --> 00:28:30,218
possibly a publically available

562
00:28:30,218 --> 00:28:31,753
fare product would be, that I

563
00:28:31,753 --> 00:28:34,756
MAY be able to use some day. So

564
00:28:34,756 --> 00:28:36,791
this is evolving. I hope that

565
00:28:36,791 --> 00:28:38,660
more of this -- I hope we'll see

566
00:28:38,660 --> 00:28:40,961
more of this. Thank you.

567
00:28:40,961 --> 00:28:41,963
Than k you. Do we have an

568
00:28:41,963 --> 00:28:44,363
additional speaker? Looks like

569
00:28:44,432 --> 00:28:46,832
we do. Welcome. We're

570
00:28:47,568 --> 00:28:49,471
delighted you're here.

571
00:28:49,471 --> 00:28:51,506
>>speaker: hi. Good afternoon,

572
00:28:51,506 --> 00:28:53,906
MADAM Chair and committee

573
00:28:54,420 --> 00:28:55,577
members. I am erin gore, the

574
00:28:55,577 --> 00:28:57,577
senior vice-chancellor of

575
00:28:57,779 --> 00:28:58,680
finance and administration at

576
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,651
ucsf. I could not be more proud

577
00:29:01,651 --> 00:29:02,517
to be here today to express

578
00:29:02,517 --> 00:29:04,520
ucsf's strong support for the

579
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,756
agreement to expand the baypass

580
00:29:06,756 --> 00:29:08,357
for the entire ucsf community

581
00:29:08,357 --> 00:29:09,156
and to celebrate this important

582
00:29:09,156 --> 00:29:11,556
milestone in our deep

583
00:29:11,625 --> 00:29:14,625
partnership with mtc. Over the

584
00:29:15,864 --> 00:29:16,431
past three years, ucsf and mtc

585
00:29:16,431 --> 00:29:18,500
have worked together on the

586
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:19,900
smaller baypass pilot mentioned,

587
00:29:19,900 --> 00:29:21,436
and our experience has

588
00:29:21,436 --> 00:29:22,938
demonstrated not only the great

589
00:29:22,938 --> 00:29:25,373
vaw of the program, but also

590
00:29:25,373 --> 00:29:26,140
what is possible when our

591
00:29:26,140 --> 00:29:28,175
organizations work together with

592
00:29:28,175 --> 00:29:30,110
a shared goal. Over the past

593
00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:31,713
several months, our teams have

594
00:29:31,713 --> 00:29:34,113
deepened the partnership and

595
00:29:34,349 --> 00:29:37,185
worked closely to develop a path

596
00:29:37,185 --> 00:29:39,220
to expand baypass far beyond the

597
00:29:39,220 --> 00:29:41,220
original pilot. Expanding

598
00:29:41,323 --> 00:29:43,191
baypass to all of ucsf's

599
00:29:43,191 --> 00:29:44,592
benefits and eligible employees

600
00:29:44,592 --> 00:29:46,592
represents a significant

601
00:29:47,295 --> 00:29:48,296
commitment by ucsf and an

602
00:29:48,296 --> 00:29:50,899
exciting community for both of

603
00:29:50,899 --> 00:29:52,234
our organizations. Our teams

604
00:29:52,234 --> 00:29:54,569
have worked extremely well

605
00:29:54,569 --> 00:29:58,106
together to set us up for this

606
00:29:58,106 --> 00:29:59,841
point, and we deeply appreciate

607
00:29:59,841 --> 00:30:00,875
mtc's partnership, flexibility,

608
00:30:00,875 --> 00:30:03,875
and shared commitment to making

609
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,140
this program successful. When

610
00:30:06,140 --> 00:30:07,515
ucsf first launched the pilot,

611
00:30:07,515 --> 00:30:09,951
the number one question in my

612
00:30:09,951 --> 00:30:11,285
inbox was "what's next?"

613
00:30:11,285 --> 00:30:13,455
today we are so proud to show

614
00:30:13,455 --> 00:30:14,556
what's next. This agreement

615
00:30:14,556 --> 00:30:16,956
represents a cig significant

616
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,627
step forward and creates an

617
00:30:19,627 --> 00:30:21,129
opportunity for a strong

618
00:30:21,129 --> 00:30:23,129
multi-year partnership between

619
00:30:23,365 --> 00:30:25,700
ucsf and mtc. We see this

620
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:27,335
agreement as an opportunity to

621
00:30:27,335 --> 00:30:29,735
demonstrate what's possible far

622
00:30:29,770 --> 00:30:32,173
beyond ucsf. As one of the bay

623
00:30:32,173 --> 00:30:34,750
area's largest employers, ucsf

624
00:30:34,750 --> 00:30:35,943
can be a flagship employer

625
00:30:35,943 --> 00:30:37,646
partner for the clipper baypass

626
00:30:37,646 --> 00:30:39,680
program and help provide a model

627
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,490
for other large employers across

628
00:30:42,490 --> 00:30:44,452
the region. In this time of

629
00:30:44,452 --> 00:30:45,855
rising costs, the baypass is a

630
00:30:45,855 --> 00:30:48,790
huge benefit for employees and a

631
00:30:48,790 --> 00:30:50,291
win/win for ucsf's continued

632
00:30:50,291 --> 00:30:52,827
support of bay area transit. I

633
00:30:52,827 --> 00:30:56,530
want to thank mtc and both of

634
00:30:56,530 --> 00:30:58,700
the teams for getting us this

635
00:30:58,700 --> 00:30:59,800
important milestone. We are so

636
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,169
excited for the work ahead.

637
00:31:01,169 --> 00:31:02,300
Thank you.

638
00:31:02,300 --> 00:31:03,672
Than k you so much, and we are

639
00:31:03,672 --> 00:31:05,241
so excited as well. Okay. Is

640
00:31:05,241 --> 00:31:07,542
there any other public comment

641
00:31:07,542 --> 00:31:09,377
in chambers? And you already

642
00:31:09,377 --> 00:31:10,545
told me online we don't have

643
00:31:10,545 --> 00:31:12,815
anyone. I do have diane, has

644
00:31:12,815 --> 00:31:15,150
her hand up, and then we'll go

645
00:31:15,150 --> 00:31:16,684
to marilyn next.

646
00:31:16,684 --> 00:31:18,787
>>diane shaw: thank you. And,

647
00:31:18,787 --> 00:31:20,488
yeah, when I read the agenda and

648
00:31:20,488 --> 00:31:21,823
saw this item, I got very

649
00:31:21,823 --> 00:31:22,924
excited. So thank you, erin,

650
00:31:22,924 --> 00:31:25,494
very much for your partnership.

651
00:31:25,494 --> 00:31:26,661
I think this is wonderful. I

652
00:31:26,661 --> 00:31:29,396
think it's a great next step,

653
00:31:29,396 --> 00:31:30,933
and I think it's going to show

654
00:31:30,933 --> 00:31:33,201
the opportunities of what we can

655
00:31:33,201 --> 00:31:34,700
do in the bay area. So it's one

656
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:35,102
of the most exciting things I

657
00:31:35,102 --> 00:31:36,670
think that's happened in a

658
00:31:36,670 --> 00:31:38,106
while. So thank you. And with

659
00:31:38,106 --> 00:31:40,308
that, I totally support this.

660
00:31:40,308 --> 00:31:41,276
But I do have two other

661
00:31:41,276 --> 00:31:43,276
questions, not necessarily

662
00:31:43,878 --> 00:31:46,381
related to this. I, but, one, I

663
00:31:46,381 --> 00:31:47,282
wondered if mtc could share the

664
00:31:47,282 --> 00:31:51,482
data that you have on how much

665
00:31:51,852 --> 00:31:55,390
each agency has been paid under

666
00:31:55,390 --> 00:31:56,890
the baypass program, if that

667
00:31:56,890 --> 00:31:58,560
data can be shared with

668
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,280
agencies. Can that be done? Do

669
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,862
we have that data?

670
00:32:01,862 --> 00:32:04,650
>>speaker: yeah, we'd be happy

671
00:32:04,650 --> 00:32:04,366
to follow up with that

672
00:32:04,366 --> 00:32:05,767
information

673
00:32:05,767 --> 00:32:06,634
>>diane shaw: okay. My second

674
00:32:06,634 --> 00:32:08,680
question is more -- it's a

675
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:09,437
question, but more of a comment,

676
00:32:09,437 --> 00:32:10,472
which is, this is the type of

677
00:32:10,472 --> 00:32:13,207
thing that I think we need to do

678
00:32:13,207 --> 00:32:14,900
a lot more of, so I look forward

679
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:14,910
to seeing the other

680
00:32:14,910 --> 00:32:16,411
opportunities that with out

681
00:32:16,411 --> 00:32:19,411
there and the other employers

682
00:32:20,148 --> 00:32:21,116
that you're speaking to. And

683
00:32:21,116 --> 00:32:22,416
also speaking employers, I

684
00:32:22,416 --> 00:32:24,185
really think, you know, as we

685
00:32:24,185 --> 00:32:25,521
all know, a lot of people can't

686
00:32:25,521 --> 00:32:27,789
afford to live in the bay area,

687
00:32:27,789 --> 00:32:29,357
especially our own transit

688
00:32:29,357 --> 00:32:31,459
agency workers, and they're

689
00:32:31,459 --> 00:32:33,859
commuting in from long

690
00:32:33,895 --> 00:32:36,310
distances. When they get there,

691
00:32:36,310 --> 00:32:37,132
they have to drive a bus or a

692
00:32:37,132 --> 00:32:38,600
train. And I would love to --

693
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,168
and a lot that travel they're

694
00:32:40,168 --> 00:32:42,202
doing on their own, I would love

695
00:32:42,202 --> 00:32:45,508
to figure out how we make this

696
00:32:45,508 --> 00:32:47,108
type of a passport for our own

697
00:32:47,108 --> 00:32:50,108
employees. How we can have

698
00:32:50,812 --> 00:32:52,479
people in are in uniform be able

699
00:32:52,479 --> 00:32:54,182
to ride transit free, and maybe

700
00:32:54,182 --> 00:32:56,151
that's something to work through

701
00:32:56,151 --> 00:32:57,218
through the general managers,

702
00:32:57,218 --> 00:32:59,155
but I really think that it would

703
00:32:59,155 --> 00:33:02,123
really help the employees not

704
00:33:02,123 --> 00:33:03,391
have to pay every time. They --

705
00:33:03,391 --> 00:33:05,360
although, you know, ac transit

706
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,361
bus drivers, when they have to

707
00:33:06,361 --> 00:33:09,231
go down to freedom tonight in do

708
00:33:09,231 --> 00:33:10,599
a run, this very to pay their

709
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:12,330
own bart fare. So it would be

710
00:33:12,330 --> 00:33:14,302
really good if we could figure

711
00:33:14,302 --> 00:33:17,839
out how to support our own

712
00:33:17,839 --> 00:33:19,442
transit riders with this baypass

713
00:33:19,442 --> 00:33:21,442
thank you.

714
00:33:21,810 --> 00:33:22,344
Than k you, and marilyn.

715
00:33:22,344 --> 00:33:22,877
>>v. Chair, marilyn ezzy

716
00:33:22,877 --> 00:33:24,379
ashcraft: thank you, MADAM

717
00:33:24,379 --> 00:33:26,281
Chair. I wanted to say thanks

718
00:33:26,281 --> 00:33:27,716
to ucsf. As a preeminent

719
00:33:27,716 --> 00:33:28,917
healthcare and academic

720
00:33:28,917 --> 00:33:31,453
institution, not just in the bay

721
00:33:31,453 --> 00:33:33,550
area, but in the world, you are

722
00:33:33,550 --> 00:33:35,455
practicing what you reach

723
00:33:35,991 --> 00:33:39,591
because when we get people out

724
00:33:42,963 --> 00:33:43,999
of their single automobiles,

725
00:33:43,999 --> 00:33:45,999
fossil-fuel-powered automobiles

726
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:47,669
we are creating a healthier

727
00:33:47,669 --> 00:33:48,503
environment for everyone. So

728
00:33:48,503 --> 00:33:49,838
thank you for being such an

729
00:33:49,838 --> 00:33:51,972
important leader in this space

730
00:33:51,972 --> 00:33:53,708
and I hope that many others will

731
00:33:53,708 --> 00:33:56,145
follow your lead, and with that,

732
00:33:56,145 --> 00:33:57,646
I'm happy to move approval of

733
00:33:57,646 --> 00:33:59,646
this item

734
00:34:00,716 --> 00:34:02,317
jess, did you have a comment?

735
00:34:02,317 --> 00:34:04,286
>>speaker: a really brief

736
00:34:04,286 --> 00:34:05,820
comment. This is one of those

737
00:34:05,820 --> 00:34:08,456
where I wish I were a voting

738
00:34:08,456 --> 00:34:10,525
member so I could vote an

739
00:34:10,525 --> 00:34:13,525
enthusiastic "yes" on this. I

740
00:34:17,532 --> 00:34:19,901
do want to echo director --

741
00:34:19,901 --> 00:34:21,571
member, committee member shaw --

742
00:34:21,571 --> 00:34:23,671
just around the data, I think

743
00:34:23,671 --> 00:34:25,240
just being as transparent as

744
00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:26,750
possible around the costs,

745
00:34:26,750 --> 00:34:28,475
especially with the new

746
00:34:29,678 --> 00:34:30,345
agreement and this three-year

747
00:34:30,345 --> 00:34:32,147
extension, I think that we

748
00:34:32,147 --> 00:34:34,116
really want to show institutions

749
00:34:34,116 --> 00:34:35,951
that participating in the

750
00:34:35,951 --> 00:34:37,552
baypass program is essential.

751
00:34:37,552 --> 00:34:39,287
It's common sense, it's like

752
00:34:39,287 --> 00:34:41,923
obvious, this is a no-brainer

753
00:34:41,923 --> 00:34:43,525
decision if you want to attract

754
00:34:43,525 --> 00:34:45,925
more great employees and

755
00:34:47,229 --> 00:34:48,997
students. I think if mtc can be

756
00:34:48,997 --> 00:34:50,397
really transparent about how

757
00:34:50,397 --> 00:34:53,397
cost-effective it is, I think

758
00:34:54,536 --> 00:34:56,671
that's great. And aleta, I know

759
00:34:56,671 --> 00:34:58,139
I've toll you this, but I went

760
00:34:58,139 --> 00:34:59,840
to college in new york city and

761
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,110
how I got around is through the

762
00:35:02,110 --> 00:35:05,460
new york city subway system as

763
00:35:05,460 --> 00:35:06,681
well as nyu. They had these

764
00:35:06,681 --> 00:35:09,183
cute trolley buses that students

765
00:35:09,183 --> 00:35:11,219
could take but it didn't take me

766
00:35:11,219 --> 00:35:12,587
to where I wanted to go. It

767
00:35:12,587 --> 00:35:13,588
would have made a world of

768
00:35:13,588 --> 00:35:17,188
difference if I would have had

769
00:35:23,365 --> 00:35:24,299
that type of by apass. I

770
00:35:24,299 --> 00:35:26,636
certainly didn't have a car. I

771
00:35:26,636 --> 00:35:29,636
used my skateboard one semester,

772
00:35:29,871 --> 00:35:31,640
which was a mistake. But these

773
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,640
are the kind of partnerships

774
00:35:44,686 --> 00:35:46,988
that keep us moving. Thank you.

775
00:35:46,988 --> 00:35:48,723
>>pat burt: I appreciate

776
00:35:48,723 --> 00:35:50,358
programs like this. I think it

777
00:35:50,358 --> 00:35:53,195
benefits the individuals a great

778
00:35:53,195 --> 00:35:56,795
deal, and also a 30% increase in

779
00:36:00,235 --> 00:36:02,670
transit use by users. And

780
00:36:02,670 --> 00:36:04,672
essentially a student retention,

781
00:36:04,672 --> 00:36:07,672
that students were less likely

782
00:36:09,644 --> 00:36:12,644
to leave their university. And

783
00:36:20,855 --> 00:36:22,490
as we look at rolling this out

784
00:36:22,490 --> 00:36:24,250
more broadly, I want to really

785
00:36:24,250 --> 00:36:25,560
emphasize some opportunities

786
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,395
that we have to frame the

787
00:36:27,395 --> 00:36:28,763
benefits of this more broadly.

788
00:36:28,763 --> 00:36:31,660
And I can give as a very strong

789
00:36:31,660 --> 00:36:33,301
example what we in our city have

790
00:36:33,301 --> 00:36:36,104
done. You MAY know that in palo

791
00:36:36,104 --> 00:36:38,600
alto we provide day passes

792
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:39,474
for -- we provide baypasss for

793
00:36:39,474 --> 00:36:40,875
every employee in the city.

794
00:36:40,875 --> 00:36:43,778
That was an extension of what we

795
00:36:43,778 --> 00:36:46,248
had been building in our

796
00:36:46,248 --> 00:36:47,148
caltrans -- our caltrain go pass

797
00:36:47,148 --> 00:36:49,548
program. Over the last 12

798
00:36:49,985 --> 00:36:53,880
years, our city has had a whole

799
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,880
bunch of initiatives that are

800
00:36:56,358 --> 00:36:57,659
now embodied in what is the

801
00:36:57,659 --> 00:36:59,461
caltrain city partnership

802
00:36:59,461 --> 00:37:00,695
program. And I really encourage

803
00:37:00,695 --> 00:37:04,295
everybody to read what that is.

804
00:37:05,133 --> 00:37:09,203
It's a toolkit for cities to be

805
00:37:09,203 --> 00:37:11,706
able to drive adoption of -- in

806
00:37:11,706 --> 00:37:13,742
that case, go passes, but it

807
00:37:13,742 --> 00:37:16,777
applies the same way here --

808
00:37:16,777 --> 00:37:18,777
through development agreements,

809
00:37:19,114 --> 00:37:21,516
tdm programs, their own city

810
00:37:21,516 --> 00:37:23,251
initiatives, TMAs, a whole

811
00:37:23,251 --> 00:37:25,552
toolkit. Caltrain, as we

812
00:37:25,552 --> 00:37:26,888
developed it, wanted to say, oh,

813
00:37:26,888 --> 00:37:28,523
yeah, cities should do this

814
00:37:28,523 --> 00:37:29,858
because it benefits caltrain and

815
00:37:29,858 --> 00:37:31,693
we really need this help. And I

816
00:37:31,693 --> 00:37:33,160
was going, but that's not what

817
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,160
drives the city's action. It's

818
00:37:36,164 --> 00:37:37,899
how does it benefit the cities?

819
00:37:37,899 --> 00:37:40,734
And so we've reframed this, and

820
00:37:40,734 --> 00:37:43,772
it is around the thans our city

821
00:37:43,772 --> 00:37:44,806
did, we didn't do it to help

822
00:37:44,806 --> 00:37:46,908
caltrain. We're glad that's

823
00:37:46,908 --> 00:37:49,710
helping caltrain. We did it

824
00:37:49,710 --> 00:37:50,278
because we had severe traffic

825
00:37:50,278 --> 00:37:51,546
congestion. We had severe

826
00:37:51,546 --> 00:37:53,946
parking problems. We have

827
00:37:55,316 --> 00:37:56,850
environmental initiatives on

828
00:37:56,850 --> 00:37:59,250
both atmospheric pollution and

829
00:38:00,454 --> 00:38:02,854
greenhouse gas reductions, and

830
00:38:02,958 --> 00:38:05,193
then we've more recently seen

831
00:38:05,193 --> 00:38:07,629
that it has a very valuable

832
00:38:07,629 --> 00:38:09,231
benefit on our doubt economic

833
00:38:09,231 --> 00:38:11,967
development, as we all are

834
00:38:11,967 --> 00:38:12,867
recovering from covid, and in

835
00:38:12,867 --> 00:38:14,636
particular, employee recruitment

836
00:38:14,636 --> 00:38:18,236
and retention. And we have data

837
00:38:18,839 --> 00:38:21,876
that shows that just like in

838
00:38:21,876 --> 00:38:23,876
your report particularly,

839
00:38:24,412 --> 00:38:26,515
employers of service workers

840
00:38:26,515 --> 00:38:28,250
were seeing a big bump in

841
00:38:28,250 --> 00:38:29,785
recruitment and retention when

842
00:38:29,785 --> 00:38:32,821
they had such a pass. And so I

843
00:38:32,821 --> 00:38:35,389
really encourage to us look at

844
00:38:35,389 --> 00:38:37,292
broadening how we frame the

845
00:38:37,292 --> 00:38:38,893
program, because who's the

846
00:38:38,893 --> 00:38:41,396
audience as we're doing this?

847
00:38:41,396 --> 00:38:43,330
The audience is these different

848
00:38:43,330 --> 00:38:45,633
entities of cities or

849
00:38:45,633 --> 00:38:47,470
universities or otherwise who

850
00:38:47,470 --> 00:38:49,500
would continue to scale this

851
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:51,873
program. But framing it in a

852
00:38:51,873 --> 00:38:54,873
way that really explains why

853
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,349
it's greatly beneficial to them.

854
00:39:01,349 --> 00:39:04,853
Than k you so much. Felicia

855
00:39:04,853 --> 00:39:06,755
>>speaker: thank you I want tome

856
00:39:06,755 --> 00:39:08,323
also express appreciation to mtc

857
00:39:08,323 --> 00:39:10,358
and ucsf. I think all of us 60

858
00:39:10,358 --> 00:39:11,192
up here and many of us in the

859
00:39:11,192 --> 00:39:13,192
you

860
00:39:13,628 --> 00:39:15,664
audience have been so

861
00:39:15,664 --> 00:39:17,298
focused on how we make sure

862
00:39:17,298 --> 00:39:18,233
transit sustainable and we keep

863
00:39:18,233 --> 00:39:19,569
this kind of precious public

864
00:39:19,569 --> 00:39:20,168
service in place

865
00:39:20,168 --> 00:39:21,202
>>chair, alicia john-baptiste:

866
00:39:21,202 --> 00:39:22,737
and we have obviously some

867
00:39:22,737 --> 00:39:25,730
elements that will be on the

868
00:39:25,730 --> 00:39:26,410
ballot in NOVEMBER which

869
00:39:26,410 --> 00:39:27,475
hopefully will be successful.

870
00:39:27,475 --> 00:39:28,911
But when we think about what

871
00:39:28,911 --> 00:39:31,146
will be the sustainable

872
00:39:31,146 --> 00:39:32,147
investment that actually allows

873
00:39:32,147 --> 00:39:33,315
transit to thrive in the future,

874
00:39:33,315 --> 00:39:34,983
it's programs like these. So

875
00:39:34,983 --> 00:39:36,284
really appreciate the kind of

876
00:39:36,284 --> 00:39:37,385
collective stewardship that we

877
00:39:37,385 --> 00:39:39,753
are all engaged in and both

878
00:39:39,753 --> 00:39:41,122
making sure that our public

879
00:39:41,122 --> 00:39:42,757
programs can thrive but also

880
00:39:42,757 --> 00:39:43,857
that we provide what we need to

881
00:39:43,857 --> 00:39:45,760
our residents, our employees,

882
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,328
our students, et cetera. So

883
00:39:46,328 --> 00:39:48,328
really appreciate your

884
00:39:49,364 --> 00:39:50,310
leadership on this. Thank you.

885
00:39:50,310 --> 00:39:51,167
>> chair, candace andersen: any

886
00:39:51,167 --> 00:39:53,167
other commissioners? Seeing

887
00:39:53,235 --> 00:39:55,804
none, I know I had a first by

888
00:39:55,804 --> 00:39:57,439
marilyn. Do I have a second?

889
00:39:57,439 --> 00:39:59,441
Okay, alicia's the second.

890
00:39:59,441 --> 00:40:00,275
Could we please have a roll call

891
00:40:00,275 --> 00:40:00,434
vote

892
00:40:00,434 --> 00:40:01,576

members present

902
00:40:35,343 --> 00:40:38,943
than k you so much. We

903
00:40:39,282 --> 00:40:41,616
appreciate you, adina, you

904
00:40:41,616 --> 00:40:42,618
letting us switch the agenda

905
00:40:42,618 --> 00:40:43,484
around. It's been a long

906
00:40:43,484 --> 00:40:45,884
morning anyways. She's the

907
00:40:46,454 --> 00:40:47,756
chair of our regional network

908
00:40:47,756 --> 00:40:49,357
management customer advisory

909
00:40:49,357 --> 00:40:50,692
group and she will provide us

910
00:40:50,692 --> 00:40:53,280
with an important report

911
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,280
>>speaker: thank you very much.

912
00:40:58,900 --> 00:41:02,236
It's great to follow the huge

913
00:41:02,236 --> 00:41:05,836
highlight of the work of the

914
00:41:08,476 --> 00:41:10,876
regional network management body

915
00:41:11,646 --> 00:41:14,849
body. And with the success of

916
00:41:14,849 --> 00:41:18,449
this, I think that is good

917
00:41:18,486 --> 00:41:20,922
context for what we talked

918
00:41:20,922 --> 00:41:23,792
about, where we got an update on

919
00:41:23,792 --> 00:41:26,792
the delivery of the transit

920
00:41:29,531 --> 00:41:31,931
transformation action plan, and

921
00:41:43,510 --> 00:41:45,281
the work plan. So in getting

922
00:41:45,281 --> 00:41:46,881
feedback meme clarifying

923
00:41:46,881 --> 00:41:47,717
questions about the

924
00:41:47,717 --> 00:41:49,170
transformation action plan

925
00:41:49,170 --> 00:41:51,352
update. There were several

926
00:41:51,352 --> 00:41:53,255
people interested in the transit

927
00:41:53,255 --> 00:41:54,689
equity principles. Staff

928
00:41:54,689 --> 00:41:56,925
replied that they are applying

929
00:41:56,925 --> 00:41:59,227
the blue ribbon transit recovery

930
00:41:59,227 --> 00:42:00,270
task force equity principles

931
00:42:00,270 --> 00:42:03,270
into the implementation of the

932
00:42:07,402 --> 00:42:09,638
action plan already and the

933
00:42:09,638 --> 00:42:10,772
members who raised up this issue

934
00:42:10,772 --> 00:42:13,772
were also interested in whether

935
00:42:16,177 --> 00:42:19,177
there would be some more

936
00:42:20,815 --> 00:42:22,815
regional consistency regarding

937
00:42:22,984 --> 00:42:24,586
customer safety and immigration

938
00:42:24,586 --> 00:42:26,121
enforcement. So the staff will

939
00:42:26,121 --> 00:42:27,756
seek feedback on advancing the

940
00:42:27,756 --> 00:42:29,257
equity principles action item.

941
00:42:29,257 --> 00:42:31,559
There was also interest in the

942
00:42:31,559 --> 00:42:32,694
topic of accessible

943
00:42:32,694 --> 00:42:34,694
transportation including

944
00:42:37,332 --> 00:42:38,333
mobility management and one-seat

945
00:42:38,333 --> 00:42:40,733
ride paratransit service. There

946
00:42:41,603 --> 00:42:45,203
was also interest in the next

947
00:42:47,943 --> 00:42:49,145
steps in network planning in

948
00:42:49,145 --> 00:42:50,745
attempt to do future mascots

949
00:42:50,745 --> 00:42:53,145
like subregional plans to

950
00:42:56,117 --> 00:42:57,586
support coordination --

951
00:42:57,586 --> 00:42:59,870
coordinated service as well as

952
00:42:59,870 --> 00:43:00,422
future fare coordination and

953
00:43:00,422 --> 00:43:02,290
incident grace efforts including

954
00:43:02,290 --> 00:43:04,192
a baypass-like option for

955
00:43:04,192 --> 00:43:05,126
individuals following the

956
00:43:05,126 --> 00:43:07,526
tremendous success of the

957
00:43:08,897 --> 00:43:10,465
program for organizations.

958
00:43:10,465 --> 00:43:11,398
There was interest in -- it was

959
00:43:11,398 --> 00:43:13,568
actually mentioned in the next

960
00:43:13,568 --> 00:43:16,171
item but pertained to this one

961
00:43:16,171 --> 00:43:17,973
in that fare and payment topic,

962
00:43:17,973 --> 00:43:20,973
interested in improving the fare

963
00:43:23,310 --> 00:43:23,945
and payment experience for low

964
00:43:23,945 --> 00:43:26,345
income people including people

965
00:43:26,348 --> 00:43:27,449
that are unbanked and

966
00:43:27,449 --> 00:43:30,449
underbanked and also interest in

967
00:43:33,588 --> 00:43:36,588
new technologies and interest in

968
00:43:39,695 --> 00:43:41,695
having stakeholder feedback

969
00:43:41,997 --> 00:43:43,365
what's gonna be the feedback of

970
00:43:43,365 --> 00:43:44,933
gathering input into what should

971
00:43:44,933 --> 00:43:45,867
be those next steps in the

972
00:43:45,867 --> 00:43:47,867
transportation action plan,

973
00:43:48,103 --> 00:43:49,500
update that this body will get a

974
00:43:49,500 --> 00:43:51,172
preview of thinking, starting to

975
00:43:51,172 --> 00:43:55,760
think about in its next item on

976
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,760
this agenda. Then we discussed

977
00:43:58,780 --> 00:44:01,117
and approved the work plan, part

978
00:44:01,117 --> 00:44:03,151
of this conversation including

979
00:44:03,151 --> 00:44:03,752
wanting to enhance the

980
00:44:03,752 --> 00:44:05,530
communication between our body

981
00:44:05,530 --> 00:44:08,522
and this body and the regional

982
00:44:08,522 --> 00:44:10,922
network management council, how

983
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,962
those overall discussions and

984
00:44:13,962 --> 00:44:15,497
alignments happen. There was

985
00:44:15,497 --> 00:44:17,980
also interest in community

986
00:44:17,980 --> 00:44:19,498
feedback, including making sure

987
00:44:20,334 --> 00:44:21,236
that the work of this body is

988
00:44:21,236 --> 00:44:23,636
understandable by people and,

989
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:25,400
you know, not full of wonky

990
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,108
terminology that normal people

991
00:44:27,108 --> 00:44:29,311
do not understand and also on

992
00:44:29,311 --> 00:44:31,460
the wonky side interest in

993
00:44:31,460 --> 00:44:32,613
seeing and reviewing and

994
00:44:32,613 --> 00:44:34,282
commenting on the performance

995
00:44:34,282 --> 00:44:37,882
metrics for how the results of

996
00:44:38,955 --> 00:44:40,956
these initiatives will be

997
00:44:40,956 --> 00:44:42,257
measured and reviewed for

998
00:44:42,257 --> 00:44:43,992
improvement. And those were

999
00:44:43,992 --> 00:44:45,460
some of the highlights of the

1000
00:44:45,460 --> 00:44:47,127
discussion. And speaking of

1001
00:44:47,127 --> 00:44:48,763
that alignment of the different

1002
00:44:48,763 --> 00:44:50,832
bodies, I'm glad to be reporting

1003
00:44:50,832 --> 00:44:51,800
this to you before you have the

1004
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,702
next item where you're talking

1005
00:44:54,702 --> 00:44:57,380
about the work plan and looking

1006
00:44:57,380 --> 00:44:57,271
forward to the tap update.

1007
00:44:57,271 --> 00:44:59,271
Thanks.

1008
00:44:59,341 --> 00:45:00,875
Than k you so much. This is an

1009
00:45:00,875 --> 00:45:02,645
informational item. So we are

1010
00:45:02,645 --> 00:45:06,845
now going to move on to agenda

1011
00:45:06,848 --> 00:45:10,448
item 4a. This is our transit

1012
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:11,853
transformation action plane --

1013
00:45:11,853 --> 00:45:14,853
>>speaker: excuse me, we should

1014
00:45:14,856 --> 00:45:15,522
see if there's public comment

1015
00:45:15,522 --> 00:45:17,626
>> chair, candace andersen: I'm

1016
00:45:17,626 --> 00:45:18,693
sorry. It wasn't in my notes.

1017
00:45:18,693 --> 00:45:20,950
Do we have public comment

1018
00:45:20,950 --> 00:45:22,465
>>clerk, brittny j. Sutherland:

1019
00:45:22,465 --> 00:45:24,966
no. We have no one wishing to

1020
00:45:24,966 --> 00:45:26,735
provide public comment

1021
00:45:26,735 --> 00:45:28,470
okay. Thank you. Always good

1022
00:45:28,470 --> 00:45:32,407
to check. We are going to, as

1023
00:45:32,407 --> 00:45:35,407
was mentioned, agenda item 4a,

1024
00:45:35,410 --> 00:45:37,145
our transit transformation

1025
00:45:37,145 --> 00:45:39,145
action plan implementation

1026
00:45:39,881 --> 00:45:41,549
progress update. I'll have

1027
00:45:41,549 --> 00:45:43,117
melanie choi introduce this and

1028
00:45:43,117 --> 00:45:45,955
then allison will take over.

1029
00:45:45,955 --> 00:45:47,555
Please go ahead, melanie

1030
00:45:47,555 --> 00:45:48,690
>>speaker: good afternoon,

1031
00:45:48,690 --> 00:45:50,724
commissioners. This month marks

1032
00:45:50,724 --> 00:45:53,724
five years since the predecessor

1033
00:45:53,827 --> 00:45:56,231
to this r and m committee body,

1034
00:45:56,231 --> 00:45:56,998
the operations committee,

1035
00:45:56,998 --> 00:45:58,533
endorsed the action plan. Just

1036
00:45:58,533 --> 00:46:00,902
to recap, action plan was

1037
00:46:00,902 --> 00:46:02,537
developed through the blue

1038
00:46:02,537 --> 00:46:03,805
ribbon transit recovery task

1039
00:46:03,805 --> 00:46:05,340
force which brought together a

1040
00:46:05,340 --> 00:46:06,676
broad and diverse set of

1041
00:46:06,676 --> 00:46:07,876
stakeholders around a shared

1042
00:46:07,876 --> 00:46:09,978
vision regarding the future

1043
00:46:09,978 --> 00:46:12,213
vision of transit. At the time,

1044
00:46:12,213 --> 00:46:13,748
as we all are aware of, the

1045
00:46:13,748 --> 00:46:15,517
region was emerge forecast one

1046
00:46:15,517 --> 00:46:16,218
of the most challenging times in

1047
00:46:16,218 --> 00:46:18,386
transit history and there's a

1048
00:46:18,386 --> 00:46:20,722
lot of uncertainty with travel

1049
00:46:20,722 --> 00:46:21,957
patterns and how we would evolve

1050
00:46:21,957 --> 00:46:23,123
in the years ahead. So as I

1051
00:46:23,123 --> 00:46:24,492
look back, one of the most

1052
00:46:24,492 --> 00:46:25,627
important outcomes was just not

1053
00:46:25,627 --> 00:46:27,596
the actions themselves, but

1054
00:46:27,596 --> 00:46:30,980
really the way that we are

1055
00:46:30,980 --> 00:46:31,933
approaching the work and that

1056
00:46:31,933 --> 00:46:33,501
what we're really doing is

1057
00:46:33,501 --> 00:46:35,700
there's a shared commitment to

1058
00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:36,571
collaborate across agencies.

1059
00:46:36,571 --> 00:46:37,572
We're also leveraging one

1060
00:46:37,572 --> 00:46:39,341
another's strengths in this work

1061
00:46:39,341 --> 00:46:41,409
as well as finding common ground

1062
00:46:41,409 --> 00:46:43,445
to improve the customer

1063
00:46:43,445 --> 00:46:45,280
experience for transit riders.

1064
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,616
So that is the lens. It's

1065
00:46:47,616 --> 00:46:49,500
focused on -- we've also focused

1066
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:51,120
on the lens, which is

1067
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:52,220
highlighted from commissioner

1068
00:46:52,220 --> 00:46:54,456
burt's be comments in terms of

1069
00:46:54,456 --> 00:46:55,757
really thinking how does it

1070
00:46:55,757 --> 00:46:56,590
benefit the rider. And that's

1071
00:46:56,590 --> 00:46:57,993
really what's anchoring a lot of

1072
00:46:57,993 --> 00:47:00,993
this work, with that lens,

1073
00:47:01,696 --> 00:47:04,696
thinking about what we're doing

1074
00:47:06,635 --> 00:47:07,702
and benefiting the end rider or

1075
00:47:07,702 --> 00:47:09,360
the customer. One thing I would

1076
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:10,572
also highlight is the previous

1077
00:47:10,572 --> 00:47:12,307
action on the baypass program is

1078
00:47:12,307 --> 00:47:13,375
one of the examples of this kind

1079
00:47:13,375 --> 00:47:15,210
of work and how we're working

1080
00:47:15,210 --> 00:47:16,845
together. Mtc staff from across

1081
00:47:16,845 --> 00:47:18,800
departments, and that includes

1082
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:19,749
in addition to amy, who

1083
00:47:19,749 --> 00:47:22,749
presented the item, bill bacon

1084
00:47:23,510 --> 00:47:24,653
on our team, as well as jeannie

1085
00:47:24,653 --> 00:47:27,221
kwan from the clipper team, as

1086
00:47:27,221 --> 00:47:28,323
well as our co-pm partners on

1087
00:47:28,323 --> 00:47:30,659
this which is bart staff, mike

1088
00:47:30,659 --> 00:47:32,727
yzerman and ryan reeves. It's

1089
00:47:32,727 --> 00:47:34,896
so really across agencies,

1090
00:47:34,896 --> 00:47:35,996
across within mtc as well, and I

1091
00:47:35,996 --> 00:47:38,833
would also like to add that it's

1092
00:47:38,833 --> 00:47:41,336
also in addition to our customer

1093
00:47:41,336 --> 00:47:42,170
advisory group as well providing

1094
00:47:42,170 --> 00:47:45,600
input, being out there, being

1095
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,442
our voices and our ambassadors

1096
00:47:47,442 --> 00:47:48,376
to the program. And so that

1097
00:47:48,376 --> 00:47:50,312
collaborative spirit really has

1098
00:47:50,312 --> 00:47:51,346
laid the ground work for much of

1099
00:47:51,346 --> 00:47:52,847
the progress that are you going

1100
00:47:52,847 --> 00:47:54,915
to hear about today. So with

1101
00:47:54,915 --> 00:47:55,850
that, I'm going to turn it over

1102
00:47:55,850 --> 00:47:57,953
to allison to walk us through

1103
00:47:57,953 --> 00:48:01,553
the progress update and what has

1104
00:48:02,791 --> 00:48:04,791
been accomplished.

1105
00:48:05,727 --> 00:48:06,595
>>speaker: good afternoon.

1106
00:48:06,595 --> 00:48:08,930
Allison quash with the regional

1107
00:48:08,930 --> 00:48:10,930
network management section.

1108
00:48:14,336 --> 00:48:14,903
Next slide, please.

1109
00:48:14,903 --> 00:48:17,272
>>speaker: this slide covers

1110
00:48:17,272 --> 00:48:19,608
some of the history of the

1111
00:48:19,608 --> 00:48:21,142
transportation are r and m and

1112
00:48:21,142 --> 00:48:23,111
with melanie's introduction, I

1113
00:48:23,111 --> 00:48:24,879
think I'm going to skip over

1114
00:48:24,879 --> 00:48:26,982
this in the interest of time.

1115
00:48:26,982 --> 00:48:29,584
Next slide. Very brief overview

1116
00:48:29,584 --> 00:48:31,185
here, again, the 2021 transit

1117
00:48:31,185 --> 00:48:33,185
performmation action plan

1118
00:48:33,420 --> 00:48:35,420
consisted of 27 near-term

1119
00:48:36,157 --> 00:48:37,859
actions across the six program

1120
00:48:37,859 --> 00:48:41,459
areas that we had identified as

1121
00:48:41,630 --> 00:48:43,365
the initial steps needed to be

1122
00:48:43,365 --> 00:48:44,733
taken towards transit

1123
00:48:44,733 --> 00:48:46,367
transformation. And looking

1124
00:48:46,367 --> 00:48:48,571
back, the vast majority the

1125
00:48:48,571 --> 00:48:50,907
actions have either been

1126
00:48:50,907 --> 00:48:53,307
completed or are substantially

1127
00:48:54,643 --> 00:48:55,543
advanced and currently under, as

1128
00:48:55,543 --> 00:48:57,779
we'll talk about further in this

1129
00:48:57,779 --> 00:49:00,179
presentation. Many of these

1130
00:49:00,916 --> 00:49:01,882
actions have evolved into

1131
00:49:01,882 --> 00:49:03,853
ongoing programs, pilots, and

1132
00:49:03,853 --> 00:49:05,853
implementation efforts that

1133
00:49:06,288 --> 00:49:08,223
continue today, guided by all of

1134
00:49:08,223 --> 00:49:11,823
the r and m bodies including

1135
00:49:12,227 --> 00:49:15,227
this one. Next slide, please.

1136
00:49:15,462 --> 00:49:16,265
Before I jump into

1137
00:49:16,265 --> 00:49:18,265
implementation progress updates,

1138
00:49:18,500 --> 00:49:20,302
I want to give a little bit of

1139
00:49:20,302 --> 00:49:21,771
overview of a funding that has

1140
00:49:21,771 --> 00:49:23,838
been brought to date to support

1141
00:49:23,838 --> 00:49:26,238
these activities. A significant

1142
00:49:26,273 --> 00:49:27,809
amount of the work has been made

1143
00:49:27,809 --> 00:49:29,176
possible because $85 million in

1144
00:49:29,176 --> 00:49:30,845
funding was identified early on

1145
00:49:30,845 --> 00:49:33,245
with support from transit

1146
00:49:33,415 --> 00:49:35,415
agencies, county transportation,

1147
00:49:36,851 --> 00:49:37,985
agencies and other partners, and

1148
00:49:37,985 --> 00:49:40,385
has been supplemented with

1149
00:49:40,957 --> 00:49:43,580
additional funding that mtc has

1150
00:49:43,580 --> 00:49:46,658
been able to identify over time.

1151
00:49:47,696 --> 00:49:49,397
And in total, we've applied

1152
00:49:49,397 --> 00:49:51,797
nearly $200 million in one-time

1153
00:49:52,334 --> 00:49:54,734
funding to advance these

1154
00:49:55,805 --> 00:49:57,805
initiatives. Next slide,

1155
00:50:00,410 --> 00:50:02,430
please. This slide summarize as

1156
00:50:02,430 --> 00:50:02,877
majority of the funding that's

1157
00:50:02,877 --> 00:50:05,277
supporting projects and programs

1158
00:50:07,649 --> 00:50:09,885
that directly benefit riders.

1159
00:50:09,885 --> 00:50:11,619
About $50 million goes directly

1160
00:50:11,619 --> 00:50:12,553
back to transit agencies to

1161
00:50:12,553 --> 00:50:14,489
support operations, fare

1162
00:50:14,489 --> 00:50:16,910
programs and other pilots, and

1163
00:50:16,910 --> 00:50:17,559
about $100 million is being

1164
00:50:17,559 --> 00:50:18,993
invested in capital projects

1165
00:50:18,993 --> 00:50:21,993
throughout the region such as

1166
00:50:24,990 --> 00:50:26,101
for our transit priority and map

1167
00:50:26,101 --> 00:50:27,636
and way-finding projects. I'm

1168
00:50:27,636 --> 00:50:30,438
going to dive into more of the

1169
00:50:30,438 --> 00:50:31,373
highlights for each program area

1170
00:50:31,373 --> 00:50:32,374
and you're going to find

1171
00:50:32,374 --> 00:50:34,376
additional details in the table

1172
00:50:34,376 --> 00:50:36,211
in your packet, and that has a

1173
00:50:36,211 --> 00:50:38,980
lot more on the current status

1174
00:50:38,980 --> 00:50:40,814
of each action, progress update

1175
00:50:40,814 --> 00:50:43,214
and updated timeframes for

1176
00:50:46,721 --> 00:50:49,721
completion as well. Next slide,

1177
00:50:50,458 --> 00:50:53,458
please. And then this slide

1178
00:50:53,694 --> 00:50:56,694
summarizes for all of those 27

1179
00:50:56,831 --> 00:50:59,567
as, what actions have been

1180
00:50:59,567 --> 00:51:01,269
completed, which is 19 here. We

1181
00:51:01,269 --> 00:51:03,573
have five additional actions

1182
00:51:03,573 --> 00:51:05,340
that are substantively underway

1183
00:51:05,340 --> 00:51:08,940
and three that are currently on

1184
00:51:08,976 --> 00:51:11,790
hold. If we look at this

1185
00:51:11,790 --> 00:51:12,247
program action at highest level,

1186
00:51:12,247 --> 00:51:13,847
we've -- what we've done is

1187
00:51:13,847 --> 00:51:16,751
we've shifted from looking at

1188
00:51:16,751 --> 00:51:18,153
identifying funding, doing

1189
00:51:18,153 --> 00:51:20,553
planning studies and developing

1190
00:51:21,791 --> 00:51:23,791
policies into implementation

1191
00:51:24,526 --> 00:51:27,526
operations and evaluation of our

1192
00:51:28,898 --> 00:51:31,298
pilots. Next slide, please.

1193
00:51:31,366 --> 00:51:34,136
The next few slides look similar

1194
00:51:34,136 --> 00:51:35,300
to this in a timeline format.

1195
00:51:35,300 --> 00:51:38,600
The activities that are shown in

1196
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:39,641
the blue boxes are those key

1197
00:51:39,641 --> 00:51:42,410
milestones that are directly

1198
00:51:42,611 --> 00:51:44,450
related to fulfilling the action

1199
00:51:44,450 --> 00:51:46,413
identified in the transformation

1200
00:51:46,413 --> 00:51:47,883
action plan. The boxes in

1201
00:51:47,883 --> 00:51:49,618
yellow highlight activities that

1202
00:51:49,618 --> 00:51:51,318
really closely related to that

1203
00:51:51,318 --> 00:51:53,388
program of work and that, you

1204
00:51:53,388 --> 00:51:54,888
know, often go to updates to

1205
00:51:54,888 --> 00:51:56,557
this body and the other r and m

1206
00:51:56,557 --> 00:51:57,458
bodies but that weren't

1207
00:51:57,458 --> 00:51:59,858
explicitly identified in the

1208
00:52:02,530 --> 00:52:04,132
action plan. So under this

1209
00:52:04,132 --> 00:52:05,667
initiative category of fares and

1210
00:52:05,667 --> 00:52:07,869
payments, the action plan called

1211
00:52:07,869 --> 00:52:09,371
for acting on the fare

1212
00:52:09,371 --> 00:52:11,206
coordination exhibit grace

1213
00:52:11,206 --> 00:52:13,441
study, and over the past few

1214
00:52:13,441 --> 00:52:15,810
years, we've accomplished this

1215
00:52:15,810 --> 00:52:17,845
through, as you just heard, act

1216
00:52:17,845 --> 00:52:21,170
on the -- and implementing the

1217
00:52:21,170 --> 00:52:23,417
clipper baypass pilot program.

1218
00:52:23,951 --> 00:52:25,653
We also launched free and

1219
00:52:25,653 --> 00:52:27,653
discounted interagency transfers

1220
00:52:29,357 --> 00:52:30,825
in late 2025, and then while not

1221
00:52:30,825 --> 00:52:32,427
formally called for in the

1222
00:52:32,427 --> 00:52:34,128
action plan, we have also

1223
00:52:34,128 --> 00:52:36,263
extended and expanded the

1224
00:52:36,263 --> 00:52:37,799
clippers start pilot and

1225
00:52:37,799 --> 00:52:40,568
transitioned it to a permanent

1226
00:52:40,568 --> 00:52:43,138
program. And while we consider

1227
00:52:43,138 --> 00:52:44,906
the action plan action under

1228
00:52:44,906 --> 00:52:46,375
this category to be complete,

1229
00:52:46,375 --> 00:52:48,777
looking forward our focus is

1230
00:52:48,777 --> 00:52:51,179
going to be on evaluating these

1231
00:52:51,179 --> 00:52:53,381
programs and pilots and

1232
00:52:53,381 --> 00:52:55,381
continuing discussions to

1233
00:52:56,885 --> 00:53:00,485
consider what the future of fair

1234
00:53:02,525 --> 00:53:04,759
policy looks like. For customer

1235
00:53:04,759 --> 00:53:06,261
information, these activities

1236
00:53:06,261 --> 00:53:07,829
are intended to make transit

1237
00:53:07,829 --> 00:53:10,829
easier to navigate and more

1238
00:53:13,969 --> 00:53:16,710
convenient for riders. This

1239
00:53:16,710 --> 00:53:18,440
consists of developing and

1240
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,440
mapping way-finding standards,

1241
00:53:20,709 --> 00:53:23,430
rolling out a couple of

1242
00:53:23,430 --> 00:53:25,280
prototypes, a couple of pilot

1243
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:26,213
locations. Developing a digital

1244
00:53:26,213 --> 00:53:27,617
mapping tool to help develop

1245
00:53:27,617 --> 00:53:29,918
this work and this is all kind

1246
00:53:29,918 --> 00:53:30,518
of well underway and we're

1247
00:53:30,518 --> 00:53:32,988
expecting to complete this in

1248
00:53:32,988 --> 00:53:35,988
the next couple years with

1249
00:53:36,191 --> 00:53:36,891
roll-out of new maps and signs

1250
00:53:36,891 --> 00:53:39,291
at pilot locations throughout

1251
00:53:39,361 --> 00:53:41,361
the region.

1252
00:53:42,364 --> 00:53:43,832
We are continuing to engage with

1253
00:53:43,832 --> 00:53:45,667
riders, transit agencies and

1254
00:53:45,667 --> 00:53:47,569
other stakeholders on this work,

1255
00:53:47,569 --> 00:53:49,437
especially as we start to

1256
00:53:49,437 --> 00:53:52,437
install new maps and signs

1257
00:53:52,841 --> 00:53:55,777
around the region. Next slide,

1258
00:53:55,777 --> 00:53:57,646
please. Under trains priority,

1259
00:53:57,646 --> 00:54:00,849
this is something that mtc has

1260
00:54:00,849 --> 00:54:02,950
had a long history of investing

1261
00:54:02,950 --> 00:54:05,350
in throughout the region,

1262
00:54:06,187 --> 00:54:07,722
through expifg initiatives.

1263
00:54:07,722 --> 00:54:08,923
And -- through existing

1264
00:54:08,923 --> 00:54:10,759
initiatives, and what the action

1265
00:54:10,759 --> 00:54:12,727
plan called for, many of these

1266
00:54:12,727 --> 00:54:15,195
actions have been complete, and

1267
00:54:15,195 --> 00:54:17,599
what we've done is identified

1268
00:54:17,599 --> 00:54:20,599
and awarded funding to near-term

1269
00:54:20,902 --> 00:54:22,304
projects throughout the region.

1270
00:54:22,304 --> 00:54:23,938
The bay area transit priority

1271
00:54:23,938 --> 00:54:26,741
policy for roadways was adopted

1272
00:54:26,741 --> 00:54:28,343
this past JANUARY. And every

1273
00:54:28,343 --> 00:54:29,743
out past few years, we've also

1274
00:54:29,743 --> 00:54:32,143
coordinated with and supported

1275
00:54:34,181 --> 00:54:36,952
state efforts in this space.

1276
00:54:36,952 --> 00:54:38,520
Looking forward the transit

1277
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,556
priority roadway assessment and

1278
00:54:40,556 --> 00:54:41,257
development of a regional

1279
00:54:41,257 --> 00:54:42,324
transit priority network is

1280
00:54:42,324 --> 00:54:43,793
going to set the stage for the

1281
00:54:43,793 --> 00:54:46,620
next steps in policy

1282
00:54:46,620 --> 00:54:48,462
implementation and inform future

1283
00:54:48,630 --> 00:54:51,300
funding priorities for transit

1284
00:54:53,535 --> 00:54:55,935
priority. Next slide, please.

1285
00:54:56,538 --> 00:54:59,538
In the accessibility space, our

1286
00:55:00,375 --> 00:55:00,976
work portfolio is linked to

1287
00:55:00,976 --> 00:55:03,376
mtc's coordinated plan, which

1288
00:55:03,912 --> 00:55:06,648
was last updated in 2024. What

1289
00:55:06,648 --> 00:55:09,840
we've done here is identified

1290
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:11,386
the next steps for improving

1291
00:55:11,386 --> 00:55:13,386
transit services, particularly

1292
00:55:14,289 --> 00:55:17,289
for ada paratransit riders, and

1293
00:55:18,159 --> 00:55:19,327
this includes work in the fares

1294
00:55:19,327 --> 00:55:22,197
and payment space with programs

1295
00:55:22,197 --> 00:55:24,597
like clipper access, integrating

1296
00:55:25,267 --> 00:55:26,768
payment for ada paratransit with

1297
00:55:26,768 --> 00:55:28,768
clipper, standardizing

1298
00:55:28,837 --> 00:55:31,837
eligibility practices, and as of

1299
00:55:33,541 --> 00:55:36,541
this year, piloting new one-seat

1300
00:55:37,479 --> 00:55:38,980
paratransit ride services in

1301
00:55:38,980 --> 00:55:39,681
subregions across the region.

1302
00:55:39,681 --> 00:55:42,517
Looking ahead, we're going to be

1303
00:55:42,517 --> 00:55:44,252
shifting to focus on further

1304
00:55:44,252 --> 00:55:45,320
implementation of these

1305
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:46,554
improvements and continue

1306
00:55:46,554 --> 00:55:48,954
engagement with riders and

1307
00:55:50,825 --> 00:55:51,927
transit agencies to prioritize

1308
00:55:51,927 --> 00:55:54,327
additional improvements that are

1309
00:55:54,863 --> 00:55:57,263
identified in the coordinated

1310
00:55:57,532 --> 00:55:59,868
plan. And next slide, please.

1311
00:55:59,868 --> 00:56:02,774
This is the last timeline slide.

1312
00:56:02,774 --> 00:56:04,720
This covers topics such as

1313
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:06,720
transit network planning,

1314
00:56:06,574 --> 00:56:08,310
governance and funding, and the

1315
00:56:08,310 --> 00:56:10,245
activities summarized on this

1316
00:56:10,245 --> 00:56:13,245
slide include much of the

1317
00:56:13,381 --> 00:56:15,951
foundational work that led to

1318
00:56:15,951 --> 00:56:18,190
establishing the r and m,

1319
00:56:18,190 --> 00:56:19,688
including identifying a

1320
00:56:19,688 --> 00:56:22,880
framework, standing up these

1321
00:56:22,524 --> 00:56:24,692
governance bodies, and earlier

1322
00:56:24,692 --> 00:56:26,661
this year, completing an initial

1323
00:56:26,661 --> 00:56:28,797
review that looked at how we're

1324
00:56:28,797 --> 00:56:30,865
all working together and that

1325
00:56:30,865 --> 00:56:31,765
identified ways that we could

1326
00:56:31,765 --> 00:56:34,765
tonight improve on that and

1327
00:56:36,438 --> 00:56:39,438
deliver results for riders. We

1328
00:56:40,875 --> 00:56:42,377
also funded subregional planning

1329
00:56:42,377 --> 00:56:43,778
efforts and advance regional

1330
00:56:43,778 --> 00:56:46,778
transit planning efforts as well

1331
00:56:47,248 --> 00:56:49,584
as funding discussions. For

1332
00:56:49,584 --> 00:56:51,584
transit and transit

1333
00:56:52,887 --> 00:56:54,887
transformation. Next slide,

1334
00:56:57,158 --> 00:56:59,558
please. So looking forward,

1335
00:57:00,295 --> 00:57:02,397
while many of the action plan

1336
00:57:02,397 --> 00:57:03,398
actions are complete, that

1337
00:57:03,398 --> 00:57:05,433
doesn't mean our work here is

1338
00:57:05,433 --> 00:57:07,680
done. What they've really done

1339
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:07,902
is to set the foundation for the

1340
00:57:07,902 --> 00:57:11,472
next steps of our work as we

1341
00:57:11,472 --> 00:57:14,472
continue to move forward to

1342
00:57:14,643 --> 00:57:16,444
advance rider-focused

1343
00:57:16,444 --> 00:57:17,946
improvements. Beyond these

1344
00:57:17,946 --> 00:57:20,140
near-term next steps, next year

1345
00:57:20,140 --> 00:57:21,583
we plan to start discussion on a

1346
00:57:21,583 --> 00:57:23,985
more comprehensive update to the

1347
00:57:23,985 --> 00:57:26,985
action plan that will identify,

1348
00:57:27,122 --> 00:57:29,190
you know, what our next phase of

1349
00:57:29,190 --> 00:57:30,324
work and priorities will be

1350
00:57:30,324 --> 00:57:32,526
across these different areas.

1351
00:57:32,526 --> 00:57:34,195
This is going to provide us with

1352
00:57:34,195 --> 00:57:37,195
an opportunity to revisit and

1353
00:57:38,366 --> 00:57:39,340
reset on our priorities,

1354
00:57:39,340 --> 00:57:40,201
incorporate representations from

1355
00:57:40,201 --> 00:57:42,672
the framework review work from

1356
00:57:42,672 --> 00:57:44,772
earlier this year and to discuss

1357
00:57:44,772 --> 00:57:46,373
emerging issues that MAY not

1358
00:57:46,373 --> 00:57:48,343
have been contemplated back in

1359
00:57:48,343 --> 00:57:51,343
2021 when the action plan was

1360
00:57:51,814 --> 00:57:52,646
initially adopted. And with

1361
00:57:52,646 --> 00:57:54,783
that, I'd like to open up for

1362
00:57:54,783 --> 00:57:55,584
any questions and discussion.

1363
00:57:55,584 --> 00:57:56,251
Thank you.

1364
00:57:56,251 --> 00:57:58,651
>> chair, candace andersen: I'm

1365
00:57:59,187 --> 00:58:01,623
going to start first with any

1366
00:58:01,623 --> 00:58:04,623
commission members who have any

1367
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,940
questions or comments? I am not

1368
00:58:07,940 --> 00:58:09,300
seeing -- diane does and also

1369
00:58:09,300 --> 00:58:10,632
alicia. Diane, why don't you go

1370
00:58:10,632 --> 00:58:10,999
ahead first, and then we'll have

1371
00:58:10,999 --> 00:58:12,434
alicia go after.

1372
00:58:12,434 --> 00:58:14,569
>>diane shaw: thank you. Thank

1373
00:58:14,569 --> 00:58:16,905
you for the presentation. It's

1374
00:58:16,905 --> 00:58:17,906
really good to see.

1375
00:58:17,906 --> 00:58:19,406
I have two really simple

1376
00:58:19,406 --> 00:58:22,406
questions. One, I wondered if

1377
00:58:22,877 --> 00:58:27,150
we have that new law that had to

1378
00:58:27,150 --> 00:58:27,849
do with bus stops all through

1379
00:58:27,849 --> 00:58:30,850
california. I didn't know if

1380
00:58:30,850 --> 00:58:31,653
that was going to affect the way

1381
00:58:31,653 --> 00:58:33,788
finding project. And secondly,

1382
00:58:33,788 --> 00:58:35,990
I just wondered -- you know,

1383
00:58:35,990 --> 00:58:38,361
there's been a lot of work done.

1384
00:58:38,361 --> 00:58:39,195
I think you mentioned it was 19

1385
00:58:39,195 --> 00:58:41,296
items that have been completed

1386
00:58:41,296 --> 00:58:41,897
and maybe not the full

1387
00:58:41,897 --> 00:58:43,130
initiative has been completed

1388
00:58:43,130 --> 00:58:47,330
but what are the plans to kind

1389
00:58:49,937 --> 00:58:51,172
of let people know about that?

1390
00:58:51,172 --> 00:58:52,307
Are there opportunities that you

1391
00:58:52,307 --> 00:58:53,207
will be presenting to some of

1392
00:58:53,207 --> 00:58:55,443
the groups about some of the

1393
00:58:55,443 --> 00:58:59,430
progress that we MAY have made

1394
00:58:59,380 --> 00:59:02,380
in some of these regional

1395
00:59:14,230 --> 00:59:16,197
efforts?

1396
00:59:16,197 --> 00:59:19,197
>>speaker: we'll look into the

1397
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,836
mapping and wayfinding and

1398
00:59:21,836 --> 00:59:22,370
communicating the actions

1399
00:59:22,370 --> 00:59:24,573
themselves, we are hitting

1400
00:59:24,573 --> 00:59:27,275
milestones and working with our

1401
00:59:27,275 --> 00:59:29,440
communication department to

1402
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:30,513
really -- our public affairs

1403
00:59:30,513 --> 00:59:32,480
really, to get the word out

1404
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:33,581
there to the degree that it's

1405
00:59:33,581 --> 00:59:36,585
timely. The other thing that we

1406
00:59:36,585 --> 00:59:37,418
are leveraging is our customer

1407
00:59:37,418 --> 00:59:39,920
advisory group members. And as

1408
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:41,289
you also noted recently, the

1409
00:59:41,289 --> 00:59:42,657
members, which has been a really

1410
00:59:42,657 --> 00:59:44,392
great experience, they've been

1411
00:59:44,392 --> 00:59:47,227
coming to our meetings and take

1412
00:59:47,227 --> 00:59:48,230
things back globally to the

1413
00:59:48,230 --> 00:59:49,764
community groups, and that was

1414
00:59:49,764 --> 00:59:53,364
the exact intent. So for us,

1415
00:59:53,468 --> 00:59:54,235
it's word of mouth. Spreaded

1416
00:59:54,235 --> 00:59:54,903
contagiousness of the

1417
00:59:54,903 --> 00:59:56,370
communication amongst all of us,

1418
00:59:56,370 --> 00:59:59,400
and that's what we lean on in

1419
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,277
addition to our own internal

1420
01:00:01,277 --> 01:00:02,777
agency efforts. As well as all

1421
01:00:02,777 --> 01:00:04,110
of the partner agencies and

1422
01:00:04,110 --> 01:00:06,110
their communication departments.

1423
01:00:09,751 --> 01:00:11,987
And so it's this network.

1424
01:00:11,987 --> 01:00:13,723
Dian e, does that satisfy your

1425
01:00:13,723 --> 01:00:14,924
question? Okay. Alicia

1426
01:00:14,924 --> 01:00:15,557
followed by gina

1427
01:00:15,557 --> 01:00:16,524
>>chair, alicia john-baptiste:

1428
01:00:16,524 --> 01:00:17,892
thank you. Thank you for this

1429
01:00:17,892 --> 01:00:21,620
presentation and for all of the

1430
01:00:21,620 --> 01:00:23,497
work. Looking at the big

1431
01:00:23,497 --> 01:00:25,634
picture, what I see is that

1432
01:00:25,634 --> 01:00:27,235
there's been a lot of

1433
01:00:27,235 --> 01:00:29,571
progress -- so, the basic

1434
01:00:29,571 --> 01:00:32,700
premise, I think, was if we

1435
01:00:32,700 --> 01:00:34,910
pursue these individual kind of

1436
01:00:34,910 --> 01:00:38,914
big rocks, we are going to drive

1437
01:00:38,914 --> 01:00:41,116
transit ridership and all of the

1438
01:00:41,116 --> 01:00:42,751
attended benefits that come with

1439
01:00:42,751 --> 01:00:45,751
increased mode shift to transit,

1440
01:00:46,254 --> 01:00:47,155
so that includes fare

1441
01:00:47,155 --> 01:00:49,155
integration, integrated and

1442
01:00:49,691 --> 01:00:51,691
uniform wayfinding, making

1443
01:00:52,626 --> 01:00:54,963
paratransit work for people,

1444
01:00:54,963 --> 01:00:57,197
interesting a regional network

1445
01:00:57,197 --> 01:00:58,700
that actually speaks to itself

1446
01:00:58,700 --> 01:01:01,700
and makes sense to riders,

1447
01:01:06,175 --> 01:01:07,242
right, that is sort of operator

1448
01:01:07,242 --> 01:01:10,842
agnostic, right. And what I see

1449
01:01:12,247 --> 01:01:15,847
from what we've done that we've

1450
01:01:16,818 --> 01:01:18,519
made progress on a relatively

1451
01:01:18,519 --> 01:01:20,220
shallow basis across each of

1452
01:01:20,220 --> 01:01:22,457
those, and so it makes it very

1453
01:01:22,457 --> 01:01:24,793
hard to, a, feel like we have

1454
01:01:24,793 --> 01:01:25,760
accomplished what we set out to

1455
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,662
accomplish, which is not -- and

1456
01:01:27,662 --> 01:01:29,231
I'm not criticizing, it's not

1457
01:01:29,231 --> 01:01:32,267
from lack of effort but these

1458
01:01:32,267 --> 01:01:33,767
are big things to try to shift.

1459
01:01:33,767 --> 01:01:34,569
And then, b, to be able to

1460
01:01:34,569 --> 01:01:36,471
measure our progress in a way

1461
01:01:36,471 --> 01:01:39,341
that's meaningful. And so as

1462
01:01:39,341 --> 01:01:42,476
we're kind of going into round

1463
01:01:42,476 --> 01:01:46,676
2, I guess my worry is that we

1464
01:01:47,716 --> 01:01:50,151
will continue to define actions

1465
01:01:50,151 --> 01:01:52,551
that are achievable, but

1466
01:01:53,890 --> 01:01:55,489
therefore somewhat shallow. And

1467
01:01:55,522 --> 01:01:56,691
I'd encourage yous to really

1468
01:01:56,691 --> 01:01:59,260
think about what would it take

1469
01:01:59,260 --> 01:02:01,620
to take the concept of that

1470
01:02:01,620 --> 01:02:02,564
we're working with, whether it's

1471
01:02:02,564 --> 01:02:04,833
fare integration or wayfinding

1472
01:02:04,833 --> 01:02:07,735
or any of the others, and ground

1473
01:02:07,735 --> 01:02:09,504
it more deeply into the

1474
01:02:09,504 --> 01:02:11,706
practical application, which is

1475
01:02:11,706 --> 01:02:13,174
harder, but it might suggest

1476
01:02:13,174 --> 01:02:16,174
having a more focused approach,

1477
01:02:16,244 --> 01:02:18,479
and it might also suggest having

1478
01:02:18,479 --> 01:02:20,682
a parallel conversation about

1479
01:02:20,682 --> 01:02:22,384
what resourcing can we really

1480
01:02:22,384 --> 01:02:24,419
allocate to these efforts? The

1481
01:02:24,419 --> 01:02:26,819
fare integration, obviously, has

1482
01:02:26,955 --> 01:02:28,955
been challenging because

1483
01:02:32,930 --> 01:02:35,930
operators are reluctant to risk

1484
01:02:35,330 --> 01:02:38,330
their revenue basis, which makes

1485
01:02:38,967 --> 01:02:41,967
total sense, and if that's

1486
01:02:42,203 --> 01:02:43,237
reality of the challenge, then

1487
01:02:43,237 --> 01:02:46,410
maybe part our strategy has to

1488
01:02:46,410 --> 01:02:48,143
be to understand how we resource

1489
01:02:48,143 --> 01:02:48,976
what we are trying to

1490
01:02:48,976 --> 01:02:50,478
accomplish. So maybe that's

1491
01:02:50,478 --> 01:02:52,878
actually even an additional

1492
01:02:52,914 --> 01:02:56,985
piece to our updated plan as we

1493
01:02:56,985 --> 01:02:58,689
move forward. Because I -- I

1494
01:02:58,689 --> 01:03:02,289
want us to both recognize the

1495
01:03:03,224 --> 01:03:06,224
progress that we're make and

1496
01:03:06,761 --> 01:03:09,698
also not get into a practice of

1497
01:03:09,698 --> 01:03:12,980
feeling like because we're

1498
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,400
active, we're necessarily

1499
01:03:14,636 --> 01:03:17,636
accomplishing a goal per se.

1500
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:20,507
thank you.

1501
01:03:20,507 --> 01:03:22,744
>> chair, candace andersen: did

1502
01:03:22,744 --> 01:03:24,412
you want to comment on that

1503
01:03:24,412 --> 01:03:25,880
melanie? You don't have to.

1504
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:26,648
You looked like you wanted to

1505
01:03:26,648 --> 01:03:27,215
say something

1506
01:03:27,215 --> 01:03:28,917
>>speaker: I appreciate the

1507
01:03:28,917 --> 01:03:30,751
comments and we do hope to take

1508
01:03:30,751 --> 01:03:31,387
on -- and that helps us

1509
01:03:31,387 --> 01:03:32,420
kick-start the conversation for

1510
01:03:32,420 --> 01:03:34,588
what we look on for the update

1511
01:03:34,588 --> 01:03:36,910
of the action plan. So you've

1512
01:03:36,910 --> 01:03:37,392
helped us kick off those

1513
01:03:37,392 --> 01:03:37,626
thoughts. Thank you for those

1514
01:03:37,626 --> 01:03:39,261
thoughts

1515
01:03:39,261 --> 01:03:41,463
okay. Gina, please go ahead,

1516
01:03:41,463 --> 01:03:42,964
welcome to our meeting. We're

1517
01:03:42,964 --> 01:03:43,665
always delighted to have other

1518
01:03:43,665 --> 01:03:45,330
members here

1519
01:03:45,330 --> 01:03:47,502
>>speaker: as a member of the

1520
01:03:47,502 --> 01:03:49,902
original blue ribbon transit

1521
01:03:49,905 --> 01:03:51,907
country -- what are we on? Five

1522
01:03:51,907 --> 01:03:52,974
or six years and I MAY not be

1523
01:03:52,974 --> 01:03:55,710
the most patient person until

1524
01:03:55,710 --> 01:03:57,312
world here, but I'm kind of with

1525
01:03:57,312 --> 01:03:58,947
diane. We've missed huge

1526
01:03:58,947 --> 01:04:00,850
opportunities when it comes to

1527
01:04:00,850 --> 01:04:03,250
signage and wayfinding, that

1528
01:04:09,224 --> 01:04:10,357
kind of thing that it really

1529
01:04:10,357 --> 01:04:11,159
doesn't seem like rocket

1530
01:04:11,159 --> 01:04:13,295
science. It whats throughout

1531
01:04:13,295 --> 01:04:15,930
the world. We can benefit

1532
01:04:15,930 --> 01:04:17,599
greatly from -- can we push that

1533
01:04:17,599 --> 01:04:20,599
along more quickly here? Again,

1534
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:22,360
the blue ribbon transit recovery

1535
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:24,239
plan has my name on it and you

1536
01:04:24,239 --> 01:04:27,239
will a of the operators.

1537
01:04:27,342 --> 01:04:30,277
Everybody was a part of this.

1538
01:04:30,277 --> 01:04:32,747
So I do feel frustrated, and I

1539
01:04:32,747 --> 01:04:36,170
will tell you, I'm enjoying the

1540
01:04:36,170 --> 01:04:39,170
fact that caltrain and samtrans

1541
01:04:39,387 --> 01:04:41,823
actually moved to an intermodele

1542
01:04:41,823 --> 01:04:43,224
center and they can see the

1543
01:04:43,224 --> 01:04:45,260
importance of signage and

1544
01:04:45,260 --> 01:04:48,626
wayfinding. So what can we do

1545
01:04:54,869 --> 01:04:57,105
to help this along in such a

1546
01:04:57,105 --> 01:04:59,574
way -- diane s that pointing

1547
01:04:59,574 --> 01:05:00,575
out, NOVEMBER is coming. People

1548
01:05:00,575 --> 01:05:02,543
would love to see some results

1549
01:05:02,543 --> 01:05:04,981
here to help them along. I was

1550
01:05:04,981 --> 01:05:06,580
just in dublin. It's

1551
01:05:06,580 --> 01:05:07,716
100-year-old city. They have

1552
01:05:07,716 --> 01:05:09,618
real-time information on the

1553
01:05:09,618 --> 01:05:12,180
buses, on its streets,

1554
01:05:13,540 --> 01:05:14,956
everything. What can we do to

1555
01:05:14,956 --> 01:05:16,956
help?

1556
01:05:18,827 --> 01:05:20,362
Okay. Thank you so much. Any

1557
01:05:20,362 --> 01:05:22,362
other commissioner comments?

1558
01:05:25,700 --> 01:05:26,468
Okay. We're gonna --

1559
01:05:26,468 --> 01:05:28,870
>>speaker: is there any sort of

1560
01:05:28,870 --> 01:05:31,673
a timeline? I guess, can we get

1561
01:05:31,673 --> 01:05:32,374
to that?

1562
01:05:32,374 --> 01:05:33,575
>>speaker: quickly, in terms of

1563
01:05:33,575 --> 01:05:35,510
the update on, that we are in

1564
01:05:35,510 --> 01:05:36,478
the process of bringing on our

1565
01:05:36,478 --> 01:05:38,412
consultant and so we are

1566
01:05:38,412 --> 01:05:39,481
currently in that process. But

1567
01:05:39,481 --> 01:05:41,483
in terms of your question in

1568
01:05:41,483 --> 01:05:42,584
terms of what you can do to

1569
01:05:42,584 --> 01:05:43,585
help, which is great, we very

1570
01:05:43,585 --> 01:05:47,185
much appreciate all of the help

1571
01:05:51,793 --> 01:05:53,194
we can get, there is -- I would

1572
01:05:53,194 --> 01:05:55,629
invite that we talk about this

1573
01:05:55,629 --> 01:05:57,320
after the meeting to look at any

1574
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:57,998
other communities that anyone

1575
01:05:57,998 --> 01:05:59,968
else would like to get engaged

1576
01:05:59,968 --> 01:06:03,805
and we've also gone to the site

1577
01:06:03,805 --> 01:06:04,740
with you, commissioner papan.

1578
01:06:04,740 --> 01:06:06,875
That is the sort of follow-up

1579
01:06:06,875 --> 01:06:07,475
that we would definitely like to

1580
01:06:07,475 --> 01:06:10,412
continue doing because it's a

1581
01:06:10,412 --> 01:06:14,449
lot of work, and a short amount

1582
01:06:14,449 --> 01:06:14,716
of time. So we can follow up

1583
01:06:14,716 --> 01:06:16,151
directly.

1584
01:06:16,151 --> 01:06:16,618
Than k you so much. Any other

1585
01:06:16,618 --> 01:06:17,685
commissioner comment?

1586
01:06:17,685 --> 01:06:19,821
We're going to go to public

1587
01:06:19,821 --> 01:06:23,421
comment. I'm going to hand the

1588
01:06:24,559 --> 01:06:27,950
gallup over to commissioner ezzy

1589
01:06:27,950 --> 01:06:30,732
ashcraft. I have a zoom call I

1590
01:06:30,732 --> 01:06:32,333
have to hop on to. We could

1591
01:06:32,333 --> 01:06:33,101
deputize our other member if we

1592
01:06:33,101 --> 01:06:35,101
needed to

1593
01:06:35,371 --> 01:06:38,371
>>speaker: let's do that. Can

1594
01:06:39,207 --> 01:06:39,908
we deputize you commissioner

1595
01:06:39,908 --> 01:06:40,608
papan

1596
01:06:40,608 --> 01:06:42,608
>>speaker: okay

1597
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:47,515
>>speaker: thank you.

1598
01:06:47,515 --> 01:06:50,510
>>speaker: all right. Do we

1599
01:06:50,510 --> 01:06:50,385
have public comment,

1600
01:06:50,385 --> 01:06:51,190
mr. Sutherland

1601
01:06:51,190 --> 01:06:52,854
>>clerk, brittny j. Sutherland:

1602
01:06:52,854 --> 01:06:54,689
we do. I've received nothing in

1603
01:06:54,689 --> 01:06:58,326
writing but we have one in the

1604
01:06:58,326 --> 01:07:01,563
boardroom and two in the zoom

1605
01:07:01,563 --> 01:07:01,730
space. Aleta we'll start with

1606
01:07:01,730 --> 01:07:03,730
you

1607
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,400
>>speaker: thank you,

1608
01:07:07,502 --> 01:07:11,102
vice-chair, I should get on a

1609
01:07:11,439 --> 01:07:14,175
plane and go to dublin and learn

1610
01:07:14,175 --> 01:07:15,477
about transformational transit

1611
01:07:15,477 --> 01:07:18,477
like our esteemed board member

1612
01:07:20,649 --> 01:07:21,549
did. I guess I'll fly erilngus,

1613
01:07:21,549 --> 01:07:24,485
maybe I'll have to fly into

1614
01:07:24,485 --> 01:07:27,880
shannon. I'm mostly using the

1615
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:28,823
fare transfer benefits. I've

1616
01:07:28,823 --> 01:07:31,223
been talking about fare

1617
01:07:31,359 --> 01:07:33,940
integration for a long time.

1618
01:07:33,940 --> 01:07:36,940
And I have developed my

1619
01:07:45,206 --> 01:07:46,875
tragedies for that because I

1620
01:07:46,875 --> 01:07:48,510
never know what I'm going to do.

1621
01:07:48,510 --> 01:07:50,745
Which service do I use first so

1622
01:07:50,745 --> 01:07:52,213
I can get the most of my

1623
01:07:52,213 --> 01:07:53,140
transfer benefits? And the

1624
01:07:53,140 --> 01:07:55,160
rules are a little bit more

1625
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,519
complex when you have reduced

1626
01:07:57,519 --> 01:08:01,119
fare because the bart credit is

1627
01:08:02,900 --> 01:08:05,900
$1.10, not $1.40. I was at west

1628
01:08:05,927 --> 01:08:07,395
oakland, and I guess they're

1629
01:08:07,395 --> 01:08:08,830
region -- re-doing you will of a

1630
01:08:08,830 --> 01:08:09,965
the bus stops because the bus

1631
01:08:09,965 --> 01:08:12,200
was taking me somewhere else,

1632
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:16,137
and I did see some new signs,

1633
01:08:16,137 --> 01:08:18,672
like a1, a2, something like

1634
01:08:18,672 --> 01:08:20,574
that. And it's definitely

1635
01:08:20,574 --> 01:08:22,611
reminiscent of the old track

1636
01:08:22,611 --> 01:08:25,146
signs in grand central terminal.

1637
01:08:25,146 --> 01:08:28,250
So as we expand this, we'll

1638
01:08:28,250 --> 01:08:30,385
have plenty of reminders of

1639
01:08:30,385 --> 01:08:31,586
grand central terminal. You can

1640
01:08:31,586 --> 01:08:32,854
never have enough grand central.

1641
01:08:32,854 --> 01:08:35,550
And I want to see that spread

1642
01:08:35,550 --> 01:08:37,492
here in the bay area so all of

1643
01:08:37,492 --> 01:08:39,892
those signs are helpful

1644
01:08:40,195 --> 01:08:42,431
especially with the colors of

1645
01:08:42,431 --> 01:08:44,733
team folds. But really the

1646
01:08:44,733 --> 01:08:45,867
biggest thing for me is the fare

1647
01:08:45,867 --> 01:08:48,136
benefits. And I certainly want

1648
01:08:48,136 --> 01:08:50,305
to see more accessibility work

1649
01:08:50,305 --> 01:08:51,740
in making more stops and

1650
01:08:51,740 --> 01:08:54,140
stations accessible, just like

1651
01:08:54,776 --> 01:08:56,578
they're doing in new york, major

1652
01:08:56,578 --> 01:08:58,246
projects. How do you get 472

1653
01:08:58,246 --> 01:08:59,514
subway stations accessible?

1654
01:08:59,514 --> 01:09:02,751
It's a lot of work. We've got a

1655
01:09:02,751 --> 01:09:07,551
lot of work to do here, but I'm

1656
01:09:08,223 --> 01:09:10,623
benefited. Thank you. Paps

1657
01:09:11,590 --> 01:09:11,293
thank you so much, and our next

1658
01:09:11,293 --> 01:09:13,293
speaker

1659
01:09:13,495 --> 01:09:14,896
>>clerk, brittny j. Sutherland:

1660
01:09:14,896 --> 01:09:16,896
adina levin

1661
01:09:17,132 --> 01:09:18,733
>>speaker: adina levin with

1662
01:09:18,733 --> 01:09:20,468
seamless bay area, and I'll call

1663
01:09:20,468 --> 01:09:22,637
some things out that align with

1664
01:09:22,637 --> 01:09:25,730
what the customer advisory group

1665
01:09:25,730 --> 01:09:27,342
said. As I said in the customer

1666
01:09:27,342 --> 01:09:30,245
advisory group update, the group

1667
01:09:30,245 --> 01:09:32,446
was very interested in take the

1668
01:09:32,446 --> 01:09:34,716
next steps, very supportive at

1669
01:09:34,716 --> 01:09:36,318
what's been achieved so far on

1670
01:09:36,318 --> 01:09:38,652
integrated and affordable fares

1671
01:09:38,652 --> 01:09:42,852
and really eager to see the next

1672
01:09:45,660 --> 01:09:47,662
steps on a baypass-like passer

1673
01:09:47,662 --> 01:09:48,763
cap for individuals as well as

1674
01:09:48,763 --> 01:09:50,198
supporting convenient payment

1675
01:09:50,198 --> 01:09:51,233
and affordable payment for

1676
01:09:51,233 --> 01:09:53,633
low-income people might include

1677
01:09:54,350 --> 01:09:55,403
getting access to your discount,

1678
01:09:55,403 --> 01:09:58,390
if you're paying with a credit

1679
01:09:58,390 --> 01:10:00,308
or debit card, having solutions

1680
01:10:00,308 --> 01:10:02,510
for people that either don't

1681
01:10:02,510 --> 01:10:05,313
have a bank account at all or

1682
01:10:05,313 --> 01:10:07,182
maybe pay really high fees, and

1683
01:10:07,182 --> 01:10:09,317
also I believe in the meeting

1684
01:10:09,317 --> 01:10:10,685
somebody MAY have mentioned

1685
01:10:10,685 --> 01:10:13,210
mobility wallet pilots that are

1686
01:10:13,210 --> 01:10:15,290
popping up all around the region

1687
01:10:15,290 --> 01:10:16,958
and can there possibly be a

1688
01:10:16,958 --> 01:10:19,393
regional approach to this. And

1689
01:10:19,393 --> 01:10:20,195
I've heard even since then in

1690
01:10:20,195 --> 01:10:22,195
other conversations about

1691
01:10:23,131 --> 01:10:25,531
getting things like micro

1692
01:10:26,166 --> 01:10:28,566
transit and different mobility

1693
01:10:29,170 --> 01:10:31,600
modes integrated into our be

1694
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,406
integrated and affordable fares.

1695
01:10:34,740 --> 01:10:36,778
On transit priority with a

1696
01:10:36,778 --> 01:10:38,646
seamless hat, we had yesterday

1697
01:10:38,646 --> 01:10:41,460
150 people register and about

1698
01:10:43,718 --> 01:10:46,210
half of that attend live, an

1699
01:10:46,210 --> 01:10:46,955
event on the transit priority

1700
01:10:46,955 --> 01:10:47,956
policy with the goal of

1701
01:10:47,956 --> 01:10:49,257
supporting transit priority

1702
01:10:49,257 --> 01:10:52,257
policies in our cities and

1703
01:10:54,362 --> 01:10:55,897
regions. And we -- to

1704
01:10:55,897 --> 01:10:57,897
commissioner john-baptiste's

1705
01:10:58,233 --> 01:10:59,340
point about really depth,

1706
01:10:59,340 --> 01:11:00,734
transit priority is important

1707
01:11:00,734 --> 01:11:01,770
and important as a broader

1708
01:11:01,770 --> 01:11:04,573
network planning. So a lot of

1709
01:11:04,573 --> 01:11:06,141
interest in potentially doing

1710
01:11:06,141 --> 01:11:07,510
the next mascot and having a

1711
01:11:07,510 --> 01:11:09,744
coordinated plan for the area,

1712
01:11:09,744 --> 01:11:12,280
and then aligning the funding to

1713
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,349
be able to do things that are

1714
01:11:14,349 --> 01:11:15,416
cost-neutral and also to do the

1715
01:11:15,416 --> 01:11:17,586
cost-effective things that help

1716
01:11:17,586 --> 01:11:19,986
build out that connected,

1717
01:11:22,390 --> 01:11:24,790
coordinated fast network. Thank

1718
01:11:26,127 --> 01:11:26,828
you.

anybody else

1722
01:11:31,990 --> 01:11:33,499
>>clerk, brittny j. Sutherland:

01:11:33,501 --> 01:11:34,402
thank you. We have evan

1724

un-mute yourself evan

1726
01:11:37,339 --> 01:11:39,339
>>speaker: hello, good

1727
01:11:39,774 --> 01:11:42,710
afternoon. My name is evan

1728
01:11:42,710 --> 01:11:45,130
chewy, and I work to help get

1729
01:11:45,130 --> 01:11:46,514
people outdoors as part of

1730
01:11:46,514 --> 01:11:48,490
hiking by transit. I keep

1731
01:11:48,490 --> 01:11:49,851
finding new micro transit

1732
01:11:49,851 --> 01:11:52,887
services in the bay area. Today

1733
01:11:52,887 --> 01:11:55,223
there are 15 services operating

1734
01:11:55,223 --> 01:11:56,424
in 24 or so zones but it's very

1735
01:11:56,424 --> 01:11:57,593
difficult to find these

1736
01:11:57,593 --> 01:12:00,593
services, so to my knowledge,

1737
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:02,864
outside perhaps of something at

1738
01:12:02,864 --> 01:12:04,633
mtc, I'm not an expert. There

1739
01:12:04,633 --> 01:12:06,268
are now open data formats for

1740
01:12:06,268 --> 01:12:08,303
micro transit and demand

1741
01:12:08,303 --> 01:12:10,303
response transit services.

1742
01:12:11,306 --> 01:12:12,908
Staff at cal trans were actively

1743
01:12:12,908 --> 01:12:15,744
involved in the creation of

1744
01:12:15,744 --> 01:12:17,379
these formats and are eager to

1745
01:12:17,379 --> 01:12:20,282
help implement them for transit

1746
01:12:20,282 --> 01:12:22,750
agencies. As part of continued

1747
01:12:22,750 --> 01:12:23,585
work on the transit

1748
01:12:23,585 --> 01:12:24,786
transformation action plan,

1749
01:12:24,786 --> 01:12:27,186
please help encourage agencies

1750
01:12:31,260 --> 01:12:32,928
to create gtfest-flex data

1751
01:12:32,928 --> 01:12:34,928
including through collaboration

1752
01:12:39,701 --> 01:12:41,236
of came trans staff, especially

1753
01:12:41,236 --> 01:12:44,236
evan. Several of the transit

1754
01:12:45,574 --> 01:12:47,175
centers in the 2027 signage

1755
01:12:47,175 --> 01:12:48,176
roll-out have micro transit

1756
01:12:48,176 --> 01:12:49,678
service available including palo

1757
01:12:49,678 --> 01:12:53,878
alto link at palo alto and a

1758
01:12:55,584 --> 01:12:56,151
variety of services around the

1759
01:12:56,151 --> 01:12:58,151
suissoon-fairfield station.

1760
01:12:59,870 --> 01:13:01,723
Better data will help providers

1761
01:13:01,723 --> 01:13:03,458
discover services in apps and

1762
01:13:03,458 --> 01:13:05,794
micro transit zones on local

1763
01:13:05,794 --> 01:13:06,595
transit connections will be on

1764
01:13:06,595 --> 01:13:08,290
area maps as part of the

1765
01:13:08,290 --> 01:13:10,290
regional transit connections

1766
01:13:11,733 --> 01:13:12,766
maps and will help users at

1767
01:13:12,766 --> 01:13:15,166
train stations understand trip

1768
01:13:16,504 --> 01:13:17,500
alternatives. Thank you.

1769
01:13:17,500 --> 01:13:19,405
>>v. Chair, marilyn ezzy

1770
01:13:20,141 --> 01:13:21,743
ashcraft: thank you, our next

1771
01:13:21,743 --> 01:13:22,644
speaker.

1772
01:13:22,644 --> 01:13:24,879
>>speaker: thank you. I'd like

1773
01:13:24,879 --> 01:13:27,115
to comment very briefly on my

1774
01:13:27,115 --> 01:13:28,283
personal experience with

1775
01:13:28,283 --> 01:13:30,283
wayfinding at millbrae

1776
01:13:31,190 --> 01:13:33,622
attempting to find the caltrain

1777
01:13:33,622 --> 01:13:35,623
building. As I got often train,

1778
01:13:35,623 --> 01:13:37,826
I asked the conduct forgive me

1779
01:13:37,826 --> 01:13:40,826
directions. And told me, well,

1780
01:13:41,620 --> 01:13:43,365
I don't know where it is, but if

1781
01:13:43,365 --> 01:13:45,000
you exit to the trance, you'll

1782
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:46,433
have the elevator and you'll get

1783
01:13:46,433 --> 01:13:48,770
to the elevator concourse and be

1784
01:13:48,770 --> 01:13:51,390
able to walk about the above

1785
01:13:51,390 --> 01:13:53,730
track. So I did that, and there

1786
01:13:53,730 --> 01:13:54,609
were no signs. And then I got

1787
01:13:54,609 --> 01:13:56,578
up to the other side and went

1788
01:13:56,578 --> 01:13:59,447
back down again to grade level,

1789
01:13:59,447 --> 01:14:03,470
and I was blindly following the

1790
01:14:03,418 --> 01:14:06,388
google maps instructions to some

1791
01:14:06,388 --> 01:14:07,755
address on rollins road. There

1792
01:14:07,755 --> 01:14:09,958
was absolutely no signage

1793
01:14:09,958 --> 01:14:12,358
whatsoever. And I actually

1794
01:14:12,994 --> 01:14:14,596
walked past the building. And

1795
01:14:14,596 --> 01:14:17,650
fortunately a friend of mine

1796
01:14:17,650 --> 01:14:18,500
said, hey, roland, where are you

1797
01:14:18,500 --> 01:14:22,403
going, and I said I'm trying go

1798
01:14:22,403 --> 01:14:24,774
to the cal trans building and

1799
01:14:24,774 --> 01:14:26,340
they say no, no, this is it. Is

1800
01:14:26,340 --> 01:14:28,610
there a particular reason why

1801
01:14:28,610 --> 01:14:30,879
there is no sign?Aj did they

1802
01:14:30,879 --> 01:14:33,279
accidentally take a secret

1803
01:14:34,849 --> 01:14:36,384
entrance or does caltrans really

1804
01:14:36,384 --> 01:14:39,887
don't want anybody to know where

1805
01:14:39,887 --> 01:14:40,550
they are in millbrae? Thank

1806
01:14:40,550 --> 01:14:40,689
you.

point, I understand caltrain

does not yet only building and I

1813
01:14:50,699 --> 01:14:52,100
don't know why they're not

1814
01:14:52,100 --> 01:14:55,700
hesitating not putting up a sign

1815
01:14:55,737 --> 01:14:58,737
directing people, I agree with

1816
