Customer service center. We need to establish this is in fact a senior so we can give them the right card and pass. And then the new clipper card will be sent to that customer in the mail with a litter stating this is their free pass and how to use that pass on a daily basis. For the rtc card for the riders with disabilities those with existing rtc cards the process will be similar to the senior cards. They will just complete an Application Online or by mail or through 311 and the rtc number is required listed on top of the rtc card. Most people are familiar with this card. Much like the senior card the pass will be loaded remotely and theyll receive notice via mail that the pass is now active. If the customer is new to the program and does not have an rtc card they lrp need to visit the mta discount id office which is just across the street from sfmta Customer Service center to apply for the rtc card. This can take between four and five weeks to get approved. Once the customer is appr
Classes he going to train and you say this master tai chi trainer will train his students, right, so that his students will train other people. Correct. So the way this program will work is that the master trainer will be hired and then we will basically invite the Community Based organizations that have participants that meet the eligibility requirements for snaped. So actually on the last page of the snaped synopsis you can see we already preidentified potential partners or meal sites that actually meet that requirement. In addition to that, if there are other nonprofits that are interested and meets those criteria, we certainly will be open. There would be requirements as part of attending the training they will be, they will need to be able to implement this Tai Chi Program at the center x times a week, at least once or twice a week, and collect the data that is needed so that we can report to the state. So theres going to be a little bit of strings astached so we can provide infor
Disparity, which always causes me a concern. Not that i dont trust people but it seems like it should be accurate. Okay, thats something i will follow up with the agency regarding. Out of curiosity, it calls out in the outcome objectives 75 of all facilities will be visited on a quarterly basis, that would be two visits and same for the [inaudible] facilities. The baseline from the previous thing is that we require at least one visit to one board and care home every year so weve added this in as part of the increased performance as a result of the increased staff. Now the plan is to in addition to seeing everyone at least once, each quarter, 75 of them will be seen. We didnt go with the 100 po allow for a little bit of leeway there. Are the businesses announced and scheduled or unannounced. I believe both. In some situations the ombudsman will respond to a complaint brought by a Family Member or resident and appear unannounced.

There. One of the issues talks about the proposal thats already in place regarding youth fares and the sunday parking changes and according to the editorial all these programs combined will reduce munis operating revenue by about 20 million a year at a time when ridership is at an all time high. It also refers to voter approved propositions a and b which authorized additional spending for muni but that spending is limited to capital improvements. The concern raised is ridership continues, but the operating budget will be reduced because of lost revenue and therefore there will be longer waiting times for buses, crowded buses and great inconveniences. How has that issue been addressed in developing this proposal . I cannot speak to that directly. Were more on the process in the back end. Its something the board can address unless diana has anything to add to that. The board will have to address that. Okay, thank you very much. Commissioner ow. Right now i am a senior.
