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 will prepare for you as you make decisions about Service Changes and its also built into the outreach process, so for example we are looking to do a pilot of Service Improvements on fulton as
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
Are not many dont speak english and they have been severely impacted by the transit effectiveness projected and one stopped at Park Presidio and my understanding youre going to curtail the service further and like the ft. Sutter run and the trolleys are still there and basically a violation of civil rights with the transit effectiveness project. It really is wrong headed. Its based on supply and demand. Its not based on moral principles and sufficient rights and that is fundamentally wrong and i think. 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 .

Of the upcoming Budget Dialogue they anticipate will start this fall. The title six Program Update as i said is happening this fall as well and we will be bringing that to you in november or late october for your approval. Were also really excited as i said to get the Demographic Data to really find out if the demographics of the neighborhood is indicative or reflective of the dem graph ikts of the routes. In some cities it is and some cities it isnt. For example los angeles is 70 minority but the ridership is 85 minority so you can certain see variations and i expect that we will see some variation here. Im happy to answer any questions. Thank you very much. Anyone from the public wish to speak to us . One person turned in a speaker card. Herbert wiener. Lets hear from mr. Wiener.
