Will be contested in the future, if not by me by someone else and it will come down hard on you and you will pay the consequences. Thank you very much. Anyone else care to speak . There is another slip over there. Is that the same one, same item . Oh okay. Thank you. We have heard from the public. Members of the board. Good presentation. Yeah good presentation. Thank you very much. I did have one question. I know we do the a letter from the bcdc asking that question about seniors and i understand in your presentation you said this is actually not the appropriate tool to address the question of seniors and people with disabilities and im sorry did you say which one is the correct tool and i missed it . Or is that something we approach on a granduear level. Exactly. Through our Service Standards so for stops for example and one of the things the standards speaks to is go to a shorter stop spacing with grades or considering the adjacent land uses. Its part of the information that staff wi
I will echo what director ramos said. We talk about this a lot and we as a city and county and as a Transit Agency have control over the streets and we need to take advantage of that to make the system run better and this say fabulous step in the right direction and we are looking forward to this project moving forward. Its going to be fabulous. Thank you. Moving on to the next item, item 12 and changing the definition and disparate impact policies. Directors no members of the public have identified have members of the board had a chance to look at this and presentation. Are you interested to have a presentation for everybody . I have one question but other than that i dont think we need director reiskin i think its fairly significant. We covered this at the policy and Governance Committee but i think its worth the time to maybe quickly hit the highlights and a little bit speak to the process that got us to this point. Okay.

Impact because the percent minority using the two pass types are more than our city wide average plus the threshold. The threshold developing the thresholds as i said they need to be sensitive enough to distinguish between differences and disparate impact on minority and non minority populations. We essentially set the threshold at 15 and brought them down to 8 based on analysis of all of the spectrum of minority and low income populations on each of our routes. We also compared ourselves to peers as a second check to make sure we were on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of these thresholds. The comments from the public process are summarized in your calendar item but there was really a range. There were people that attended to talk about specific route and Service Route and fare concerns, and we listened and tried to communicate those in the calendar item. There were also comments that we received as i said about the system wide over time issue as well as span. There was also th
