Theyve resolved through them and checked them. Each scooter has a unique Identification Number that needs to be of a certain size. Also the operators can identify a particular user based on the time and location they get a complaint. Theyve all agreed to a threetier system for user accountability. The first violation for sidewalk riding is a warning. The second violation is a 25 fine. And the third violation is account suspension. So we will be monitoring the complaint database to ensure theyre doing that as well. Finally on sidewalk blocking, we do require that all scooters lock to a bike rack. That has helped quite a bit to the roll out of blocking the sidewalks. So ill thats a quick summary. Im happy to give more details. I dont understand a lot of technology, but it seems that its a possibility that the companies have a g. P. S. On their scooters or bikes. They could figure out whether somebody is actually riding on a sidewalk or not, can they do that . And if they can, why isnt wh
Commissioner stephanie. Just on rider accountability, not the company, but rider accountability for the person whos violating and riding the scooter on the sidewalk or has two people on the scooter or is putting the scooter on its side on the sidewalk or parking it obstructing the sidewalk, what is the accountability for the rider and what are we doing to enforce it through our own means, not through the operator. On the parking side, it is a violation of the transportation code to park a scooter improperly. That is something that can be enforced by the sfmta and we do Issue Citations for improperly parked scootered for a scooter program. Those citations are investigate. They will go out and issue the citations. Directly issuing a citation to someone on the sidewalk is a moving violation and would have to come through a p. D. Thats why we have relied on the operatorbased system of them finding users directly and suspending accounts. Where p. D. Has resources, issuing the citations is g
Companies to discipline those that are riding on the sidewalk by not allowing them to use it again . We have asked the companies that same question. What weve been told is the accuracy of g. P. S. Equipment right now is plus or minus 6 to 10 feet and thats not accurate in most cases to pin down what is or is not sidewalk riding to do user enforcement or penalties. Theyve all promised to continue to develop that technology. I dont know when it would be available. So in the meantime were doing the best we can with the tools we have. If there are more Technology Tools out there for automatically detecting sidewalk riding we would love to see. Maybe what we need to do locally is to create legislation to say if they they need to create this technology, otherwise we wont give them a permit. Commissioner stephanie. Just on rider accountability, not the company, but rider accountability for the person whos violating and riding the scooter on the sidewalk or has two people on the scooter or is

Henley lee man to be monitored. Earlier in the week she was cite sized for releasing the suspect from jail. I did not see the video at the time of the arraignment. The judge was slammed for releasing the suspect of the attack. It was not provided to me at the time of arraignment, that was new information to me. The judge didnt see the video until a day later while at a restaurant. At the restaurant a tv was playing and i saw what was pro ported to be the individual. I was alarmed at the level of violence the video. The judge switched gears, although the defendant can stay out of jail he must wear an ankle monitor. Hes getting happen he needs. Hes in a program. I dont believe incarceration is appropriate for the memo ill. The fallout over the earlier decision continues. The judge is a former deputy City Attorney and the d. A. s office is to blame for failing to show the video to the judge. The rush to judgment and the desire to pill orie an outstanding officer of the court is unsettling
