Grateful to have your support for four more years on the b. A. R. T. Board. Thank you so much. Hi. I am alia, and i am running for San Francisco city college. I never knew that i would one day grow up and oversee the Free City College program at the department of children, youth, and their families, increasing access to Educational Opportunities for our Community Every day. In this role, i also monitoring the entire budget for the program. My passion for education started at a young age. I grew up in a lowincome household and have experienced firsthand the transformative nature of education both as a student and teacher. But over time, i realized how Education Systems failed our most vulnerable students. As a former legislative aide, i worked on legislation to ban the box on private college applications, making San Francisco the first city in the nation to do so. During this time of a Global Pandemic and a social movement to dismantle systemic racism, city College Needs a new voice and
Okay. Source with that, if there are no other caller on the line, are there any other so to go to that one more time. A great presentation. The graphics were great. And is easy reading and thanks to the presentation and i am pearing what i see when i drive and when i work. And what i see is double parking is an alltime high. Part of the problem is that some of the restaurants need to have the delivery space to pick up to park and increase the restaurants. You also need to work with some of the restaurants to clear space or enforce the space. And also some of the taxi stands that are occupied by private vehicles and people who block the taxi zones and the transit areas and the high business areas. Thank you very much. Are there any additional callers on the line . With that, Public Comment is closed. Did get the note and obviously more about the status of the budget.

That we need to address and adding more service. Or whether we can bring back a new route. Those are the things that we have. Two other factors are geographic distribution. From the beginning we only had 17 routes. We made sure that every single neighborhood was within a mile of a transit. We are now getting closer to half a mile i. In normal times we have a standard of quarter mile. The last factor is essential destination. Making sure each neighborhood, especially neighborhoods where people are less likely to have other options are connected to hospitals, Grocery Stores and other essential business. Thank you, i will open up now for questions. Just to remind participants who are listening, the council has chance to ask questions. We will open it up to people who are in this meeting. I will start off. Sandra, when you were talking about how you approached your decisionmaking for where the routes are going, was that a decisionmaking base on traffic prior to covid or during covid .

So its perfectly legitimate for organization, a corporation, or contractor to give money to the city, say, to help with the clean streets program, etc. , but if its over 10,000, they have to go to the board or it has to be posted on the departmental website if its under 10,000. We need to look inhouse in terms of is that process too arduous to go through where they go through this funding or they dont go to the parks alliance, they just throw this money in a special fund to a fiscal agent, and then, they can spend it more quickly. Sometimes, lets face it. Contracting, you give the money to the city, and then, they want to go out and contract somebody to provide rain barrels for drought resistance, and by the time you put ou
