Okay, good morning. Thank you all for coming out today. Were very happy to be here. My name is ed rifkin, im the other ed, director of transportation. And as the transportation director, i oversee the sfmta which is the agency that is charged with implementing the citys transit first policy. And what our goal, what the citys goal and the transit first policy is is to make sure that everybody can get around San Francisco, that everyone can get to where they need to go. It is an important part of making the economy of San Francisco work, to making the quality of life good and better. But its not just get around San Francisco any old way.

In conclusion, i would like to thank the mayor for inviting me out to stand with supervisor cohen, police chief sur, to support sensible gun control. The Trauma Center stands ready to care for victims. Any initiative that can reduce guns in my opinion will make the streets and the cities and counties cities like San Francisco a much safer place to live. I thank you for your time this morning.
