We will of course continue to evaluate one way car share for a future facilitation or pilot. Again one way will not be in this pilot. We are not facilitating one way car share right now but were interested and will continue to look for ways to bring it forward and in summary were here to propose this to are for your consideration. If it pleases the board and you approve it at the end of the month we will have a call for qualifications and invite interested car share organizations to present their credentials, sign on their commitment to participate in the pilot and finalize the group of the car share organizations and turn them lose on the neighborhoods. Tell them to go forth. Make up a list of spaces theyre interested in. Its going to be quite a shopping spree. They will go across the city and bring back to the agency a list, a electronic spreadsheets with latitude longitude information and so forth and we will begin complying a list of spaces and begin bringing that through outreach
Increase economic reinvestment into those communities, and also a reduction in Greenhouse Gas and other emissions through fuel efficient vehicles with low emission profiles. We are excited to participate in the on Street Program and funding from private funders is barrier to entry in partings of the city and now zip car can place cars in those communities that were otherwise under served and thank you very much again for the opportunity to be here. Next speaker please. [calling speaker names] howard straussner. See everything is connected to parking and i want to speak in support of this and point out there are other locations with my earlier testimony. These modes or pods or whatever should be located through the brt and these people see the transit the soon scpeft get rid of their cars first and located at transit points where transit comes together so people can get to some of the places by transit, and i am sure when zip car and car share look they will find those kinds of places.
Customers. Is it beneficial and served the goals of the agency and the city . We will consider a recommendation to make this into a permanent thing. It seems to us that this is a good idea but thats why were doing a pilot and at the conclusion we will gather up the evidence and bring you a recommendation and we will of course continue to evaluate one way car share for a future facilitation or pilot.

Were proposing is up to 900 spaces and 450 the first year and 450 the next year and depending how many car share Organizations Join us we will take that and a lot that up. If we have five organizations doing it there are less spaces but there are more spaces overall. We will look at the outreach efforts and wont wait until two years to make adjustments to the outreach that were asking the car Share Organizations to conduct. Here are the car Share Organization requirements in summary. Participating car Share Organizations will have to make their vehicles available at hourly or less increments only. This is not car rental. We dont want folks representing out cars for a week or a month from the on street pods. These have to be an hour or less increment. Can you take it for three hours. But not the weekend. Vehicles must be available at least 75 of the time. This is in response to the fact that we are facilitating or inviting peer to peer operators to operate and there is an understandable
Anytime we red curb and we will bring it to your board for approval. That is a challenging process.
