Kinds of conditions our Transportation System is in now as well as the new growth, both in terms of residents and jobs in the city. And so the scope of the Task Force Work does not address the operating deficits nor does it solve all of the problems that have been identified. About 10 billion have been identified as a need for transportation. And this leaves a gap of 6. 3 billion. The task force identified what we believe is required in terms of infrastructure and well be proposed some new Revenue Sources to fund a portion of that gap. So the three recommendations that will be brought forward from the task force is to invest in programs with the greatest impact to first maintain the current Transportation System which we found in great disrepair and enhance the system and sfand expand the city system to meet new growth and also set to pursue three new Revenue Services combined to address that significant portion of that gap and as well as to continue to support and seek additional stat
Local matches for additional funds. So, in order to make a big dent in the needs and to fund them, the task force is recommending three new Revenue Sources, two 500 million in Revenue Bonds in a year and year after dedicated to improvements. And second vehicle license fee which has been set at 2 persona number of decades and early 2000s to 2. 6 5 and increased the vlf to its full 2 percent cap in reservation for the task force and a couple years later proposing a sales tax dedicated to city improvement. This is the projected plan for the next 15 years. Whats happening next year . Thats going to depend on the board of supervisors to develop the time to do so. Your recommendation for new revenue is so far in the future. My question is at least, last year, 5 years ago when we were going through planning did you identify Revenue Sources that are being utilized today. Im looking for something more in the shortterm. As part of the Transportation Task force work we did look at the existing fu
Enhance the system and sfand expand the city system to meet new growth and also set to pursue three new Revenue Services combined to address that significant portion of that gap and as well as to continue to support and seek additional state and federal Funding Sources to support policies that will bring in more transportation dollars into San Francisco. So, after taking a look at the needs, the task force looked it is needs to repair the core system, to enhance and expand it and is recommending more of the half of the funds be allocated towards core. The reason is we found that the vehicles are in disrepair, the facilities to maintain those vehicles need to be repaired and replaced the rails and overhead fixtures as well as all the signals are also outdated and need to be replaced and if the city attempts to add to the current Transportation System on an infrastructure that is so weak, well not be able to successfully provide the kind of reliable and safe Transportation System that th

Thank you madam chair and great to be back at government audit and Oversight Committee excuse me. Can everyone clear the room quietly and have the conversations outside. Thank you. Thank you madam chair and i want to wish everyone in advance a happy valentines day tomorrow so this is an item that i requested a hearing because i really believe its important for us without pointing fingers to really understand the process by which contracts are entered into by various agencies. My own experience is that you can tell a lot how an agency is managed and the operations of that agency how they do contracts, and and we all know the board of supervisors has been working with the Municipal Transportation Agency to shape its five year plan to replace vehicles in its aging fleet and we are grateful that there is a move to re
Process by which contracts are entered into by various agencies. My own experience is that you can tell a lot how an agency is managed and the operations of that agency how they do contracts, and and we all know the board of supervisors has been working with the Municipal Transportation Agency to shape its five year plan to replace vehicles in its aging fleet and we are grateful that there is a move to replace many of these vehicles. We want our system and our buses to be as reliable as they can be, and the reason that i called for this hearing is because as was reported by the sf weekly i do think there are questions that should be answered with respect to the process that was followed for the purchase of the vehicles at issue, 50 vehicles for 38 million. And specifically and i know that we have a presentation here from the mta and i want to thank mr. Hailey and his staff for answering all. Questions we had and the information they provided. I think its an opportunity for us to really
