So, we want to at least build the foundation for something that can be ongoing. Oewd believes they can manage that and implement it. I think in hearing from the board of supervisors and briefing them and speaking with them, the businesses are feeling the pain so they want to see the money get out as quickly as possible. So i think we increase the proportion that will go directly to grants in response to that concern. Any other questions before i open it up to the public for Public Comment . Chair, i guess im just having a hard time drawing a bead on this. Who would want a loan if they can get a grant . I mean, who asked for the loans . The guys who are, i mean, i dont understand. Just i think the criteria right now for the grants, only available after the 24month project is delayed. The recommendation is for loans to be available at the inception of the project, which is a difference. That makes the loan more attractive. Attractive to help them sustain during the period of time when co
Network, which operates seamlessly so we dont have nine different counties and a bunch of j. P. A. S operating their express Lane Networks with their own rules and everything, having a gapless express lane network, forms the basis for a sort of a sort of a truly seamlesslyrun express bus network around the region, which integrates with an upgraded rail network, also operates seamlessly could be the sort of one of the foundations and express lanes could be one of the drivers, one of the demand sort of producers. We are also thinking that on one of the ideas that we are exploring with our Business Partners and others are looking at kind of the regional scale t. D. M. Program. Thats something that the last time this was tried was in the early 1990s, coming out of some federal Clean Air Act and then implemented by the bay area Quality Management district and others. But at the time it was not really possible to do it, but the time was not right, basically, and not possible to do it in a wa
From faster presented today. We have been in conversations with them. We do agree that any kind of regional transportation measure will take everyone getting on board, which is why i say im a little bit concerned about the process, more than a little bit corner concerned about the process and we have been having this conversation with stakeholders, so several things, one, i think often with some of the processes we are concerned about regressivity and potential Revenue Sources. No conversation on why, and the polling data, theres some interesting things included, some things i think were not included. No real conversation about other potential Revenue Sources. We have gotten resources to work with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation and some consultants to look at other potential Revenue Sources and we think that should be part of the conversation, that it should not just be a conversation immediately to the sales tax, we have heard several transit agencies, the Board Members expre
Construction sites clean. That was the biggest, biggest concern, and so we made sure in our Construction Contracts that there is a specific condition that they do that, and that inspectors and resident engineers regularly check and make sure there is compliance, ambassadors will inform project managers or resident engineers if we are not complying. We have hired a fulltime person who will manage the program in the m. T. A. Daytoday, working specifically with project managers on developing specific plans prior to construction, so we are ready to go on day one as soon as construction starts. And we are also working with oewd, the point of todays discussion on finalizing some of the technical aspects of the program. So, here is some specific examples of projects, central subway project you just discussed, twin peaks tunnel, probably the first project where we fully implemented the suite of Different Things that we would do in this particular project and the van ness improvement project, s
Ill walk you through the goals weve set for our facility, how they scale and howthy connechowthey connect tod what were doing on the ground to reflect that and implement that, both now and what is actually coming next. Theres 180 concessioneers to what is an Origin Destination airport. And so, for us, those 58 million passengers we serve, we know already have a really strong environmental ethic and certainly a high expectation out of the airport delivering to a onceinlifetime thing. We contribute to Economic Development in the region and make a Service Payment to the general fund for city use of 45 million a year. The 050100 routes are embedded in the framework and for us, allows us the opportunity in 2016 to go above and beyond that what we know is the airport and airports first set of zero goals. So we are striving by 2021 to be the first airport to receive Carbon Neutrality and zero waste, as well as a suite of other initiatives that are focused on health and resilience and stewards
