We have. If there are more Technology Tools out there for automatically detecting sidewalk riding we would love to see. Maybe what we need to do locally is to create legislation to say if they they need to create this technology, otherwise we wont give them a permit. Commissioner stephanie. Just on rider accountability, not the company, but rider accountability for the person whos violating and riding the scooter on the sidewalk or has two people on the scooter or is putting the scooter on its side on the sidewalk or parking it obstructing the sidewalk, what is the accountability for the rider and what are we doing to enforce it through our own means, not through the operator. On the parking side, it is a violation of the transportation code to park a scooter improperly. That is something that can be enforced by the sfmta and we do Issue Citations for improperly parked scootered for a scooter program. Those citations are investigate. They will go out and issue the citations. Directly i
They all have. So we have those are discussions that we are having. I can tell you that the Police Department is concerned about everyones safety, regardless of the mode in which they move about the city. Certainly on the sidewalk people i can imagine i wouldnt expect that and i know a lot of people are surprised by that. What we have in that regard is a lot of foot beat officers deployed throughout all of the stations. So thats something that i can imagine or remind or discuss with the captains, who im sure are aware of that as well, about that being something that is addressed. The focus for our officers using police cars and motorcycles, speed is a big issue along with the focus on the five factors. People who are walking and on bicycles, theres a long list of people who are very vulnerable in a collision, more so than vehicles.

Citati citations, particularly those that were seeking to get to 50 on. Yes, sir. If i could add just one thing touching on what supervisor stephanie said, in the last couple of years our process of issuing citations has the changed. We went from the old tag book to the little cellphone. In addition to completing the ecitation and tohooking up to e printer, there is the requirement to upload the body cam video, to tag that, catalog it, and to complete a rather long document in terms of demographic information and what transpired during the stop. So it does the process has been elongated. And in addition to that over the last three years, theres been the rollout and training of folks throughout the Police Department at all the stations throughout the solos. So that has stretched things t out. Good point. Thank you, sir. Things get simpler. They become more complicated. Do you want to come up.
