This whole digital revolution. So it used to be that there was a stationary screen and with hdtv that was a big screen in the living room. But with the internet and the reless world extending things, now you have tab lets wifi all phones and over the place. Such that tv is not just a stationary leanback experience in the living room but very much of a mobile experience wherever you want to go. And its also video. The Brookings Institution recently released a study place such that tv is not just a ationary leanback with suggestions on how to make Financial Services more accessible around the globe.

Learned the cities that implemented only one or two of those key elements were not successful. This next slide represents the committees first recommendation and that was to increase the supply of blue zones. Shown on the picture was a blue zone itself with the mta blands and increasing the number of blue zones is a local initiative. We dont have to go to the state to ask for any changes in state law to do that. One of the reasons why increasing the supply of blue zones is so important is that blue zones actually provide the highest level of access in the parking environment. Blue zones are located on a relatively level surface, they have a clear space on the sidewalk adjacent to allow for a ramp van to be able to discharge their van and they have curb ramps it allow you to get from the street level on to the sidewalk. So increasing the number of blue zones, our recommendation was to take that to a 4 percent saturation level in San Francisco. That would be a 70 percent increase in the
Van to be able to discharge their van and they have curb ramps it allow you to get from the street level on to the sidewalk. So increasing the number of blue zones, our recommendation was to take that to a 4 percent saturation level in San Francisco. That would be a 70 percent increase in the number of blue zones in San Francisco. We would be getting approximately 470 new blue zones. This is something that the mta has already committed to starting as a project, they have already begun the process of serving locations and blue zones citywide and this is something that San Francisco can initiate without going any further at the state level. This next recommendation is to increase the enforcement over placard misuse. What were seeing on the photo is a vehicle parked with a blue placard but whats missing is the person that actually belongs it that placard. This illustrates what we learned to be a challenge for enforcement. During our Committee Discussions we heard from the parking control
Have supportive help from the dm vplt, i have to say, from the medical society, from any number of agencies but we really are trying to find a way to fix what some of us have felt is a broken system and a system thats easy to gain and that doesnt benefit us. We who have a disability need to be able to easily find parking and have parking thats near where we want to go to eat, to shop, whatever our issues, whatever our needs, our interests, we need to be able to get close to those destinations. Its important also to acknowledge that we came from Different Levels of information. Some of us had very strong ideas about what might be Acceptable Solutions and what were unAcceptable Solutions. During the 6 months of our deliberations three of us changed our minds. This is regarding the issue of whether or not to ask the state to delete the exemption for meter payment. Some of us said no, no, no, keep that for us. In the course of our questions, of our discussions of the research that staff di
