They reviewed the motion of support for 26 million in prop k allocation and one 100,000 prop k appropriation request on item 5 on the agenda. They responded regarding undergrounding the k and m lines to the twin folks tunnel and out to stones town. This harkins back to a Feasibility Study for less extensive that was to proceed to preenvironmental design in 2015. It was expanded in scope in 2016. When sf m. T. A. Staff was asks if this was to proceed. They need priority against other major transit projects as part of the overall connect effort. It would be premature to engage in Environmental Review until the transit corridor and streets and freeway studies recommendations could be evaluated. With the ongoing congestion on 19th and park mer said, the mead for the m line is more acute every day. Regarding speed radar signs, there was a question about combining with technology such as road sensors to capture speed data in realtime to gauge the effectiveness along with before and after studies currently performed. The cat recommended approval for all of the requests. During discussion of vision zero, item 7, a cac member observed the up take in facility seems to coincide with increase in cac vehicles on the streets. There have been no cacs involved in an accident it was part of the policy agenda. Another member highlighted communities of concern and need to provide Safe Environments to bike to school, including bike education.

Motion to approve the Consent Agenda and on that motion a roll call, please. roll call . Clerk we have final approval. Supervisor peskin next item. Clerk state and federal legislation update. This is an informational item. Supervisor peskin thank you from sacramento where things are flying. This is information item only. I will give you an update on legislation that is moving or of strong interest. I will give you an overview where action on bills that you have taken this year have ended up with the bills. First in the packet, there is a reference to sp278. This measure is by senator bell. It is two year bill intended to be the operational language associated with the effort by bay area council, silicone valey and spur to develop a regional measure of revenues for a Major Investment Program for transportation in the bay area. There will be more Development Work during the fall as the bill is a two year bill. They will come back to address it next year, and we will be monitoring that activity during the fall. In addition, there are three bills that i want to update you on. First ab1487. This bill deals with the proposed bay area housing authority. It is on the senate floor at the nexttolast stop. It was amended. The amendments designation m. T. C. As the authority. There are other amendments or language changes including the type of taxes or revenue steams to be tacked. Partial tax, grocer gross the gross receipts. The board has a watch position on this. Ab1605. The board has way sponsor support position. This is mr. Tings bill that provides reservation for the crooked street legislation. The bill has passed both houses. It is on the way to the governor. I have been coordinating with your staff to ensure the best message is provided to the governors operation per the recommendation by senator wiener who carried the bill on the senate floor for us. Finally, senator wean nor has sp127. You have recently adopted a support position. This would required caltrans to develop complete streets elements in association with major state rehab projects under taken on conventional roadways. 19th street or others in the bay area in addition to fixing a culvert they would look for an opportunity to upgrade the sidewalks or provide bike lane facility or other complete street element in association. The administration has produced a cost estimate of over 1 billion annually, which would be to the detriment of the Rehabilitation Program for the state system, however, senator wiener has disputed the methodology, the bill is going down to the wire. I think it will pass the legislature and be a discussion between the author and the administration as to what the real cost effect is before it is decided. For this year, you tracked a number of bills. Of the bills that the board took positions of support on, two have been chaptered so far, four of the support position bills are currently pending on the assembly floor, seven bills that you took positions are became two year bills, four of which were opposed, three were support in nature. There is one bill that was retained on suspension which essentially makes it a dead bill for the two year session, but sometimes they do come back to life. I think thus far, your Staff Perspective in bringing bills before you and you taking positions has worked to your benefit so i thank you. Supervisor peskin any questions . Commissioner stephanie . Supervisor stefani thank you. I want to thank so many people that made ab1605 possible. I know andy hide is back and because of his good work at the Transportation Authority we were able to get Assembly Member phil tang to sponsor that. It is in the governors desk. It came after years of trying to solve problems on lombard street. I tried for 12 years. It is good work of the ta. Thank you for being at the community meetings. I hope we see relief in the area. We have tried everything. It is good to see you again. Thank you for your hard work. I hope we have something to relieve the much needed Traffic Congestion in the area. Thank you. Supervisor peskin mr. Watts. This was an information item. There is no need for action. Amber crab will present an overview for you in a moment. I want to add my thanks to working with your staff and other affiliates on that bill. The leadership that amber and michelle provided and working with mr. Tings office was exemplary. I have never seen that level of deep engagement by other agencies. I thought they did a very good job this year. Supervisor peskin go team. Ms. Crab come up. Amber crab with Transportation Authority. A quick snapshot of the federal perspective. First i want to start off making note that after this hearing she has been asked by its america to testify at the house transportation and infrastructure hearing to talk about the wonderful things San Francisco is doing relating to pricing and technology strategies. It is going to be turning on c span tomorrow morning. I want to note the reauthorization of the federal transportation bill work has begun. It expires september 30, 2020. There is a first draft of the markup of the federal highway portion of the bill. Next it goes to the commerce and banking committee, then the house is also talking about its own draft. From a initial perspective, it is good news. The bill is 300 billion, which is a 27 increase above current levels. There is also new increases in freight programs, bike programs, and it surprisingly acknowledges Climate Change for the first time with a Climate Change program that has carbon reduction programs and funding for fueling infrastructure. That including planning and pilots for congestion pricing. We are working with the Mayors Office and the Transportation Commission along with other agencies on advocacy to make sure that our priorities are known at the senate and house level. Basic advocacy including growing revenues for the things we care about, especially on the transit side, vision zero, ensuring sufficient funding for congestion pricing, making sure, looking how the bill treats merging noticeability and new revenue sources, user based fees is the challenge moving forward is finding the revenues to pay for the new programs because the Highway Trust Fund is only solvent through the summer of 2021. With the federal reauthorization things are going quickly or will be on hold with temporary considerations until after the 2020 elections. Happy to take any questions. Supervisor peskin any questions for ms. Crab . Any Public Comment on item number 5 . Seeing no Public Comment, Public Comment is closed. I understand that ms. Kirsch ball is on the way but not here yet. How about item 6 . Clerk colleagues we will take item 7 out of order. I think we have ms. Noe here. The floor is yours. Good morning. Have you read item 7.

On the look ahead at the planned work for the 2019 calendar year, i will provide more detail on those campaigns in th the follog slides. This is a sample of some of the metrics that we track each month for communications and education work. You have these numbers in your packet. These are from the april through june quarter. Next july through September Quarter metrics will be provided on october fourth. I think the next slide will play a video. We will dive into campaigns we launched last quarter.

Counter clockwise on the bottom right was from driving in todays sf campaigns where we developed videos reminding drivers to safely interact with street treatments in the city. On the top right is a card from the Motorcycle Safety campaign which launches every year in may. This is the third year we launched the campaign. We handed out the cards to motorcycle shops and clubs and riders throughout the street. On the right you may have seen these as part of the april awareness month. In the bottom left is an animation of our yielding campaign on social media. A step back to 2014, m. T. A. Had safe streets campaign program. Here are some pieces from that program. As vision zero started, this is an old branding. Some of our older materials, and before we moved to the current branding that you will see today. Our Partnership Programs we try to make sure we have the multi lingual posters as well. This is from the School Partner ship. These are multi media pieces from the motorcycle campaign.

At the project level we also have a piece specifically for balboa park with a neighborhood priming effort to customize the outreach card with Traffic Safety and incoming projects so when members of the public attended they would have safety in the back of their minds and be able to support the project. On the left are posters from vision zero highlighting different street treatments so people can connect the street treatment with safety in the neighborhoods with vision zero. On the right are Rapid Response outreach. We go out to install memorial posters at the site of the crash. We have inlanguage speaking in chinese, spanish or filipino as needed. They will have Crisis Response cards on hand for Additional Resources and support. Vision zero outreach rotates each month for farmers markets and these are of the standard outreach and project information and boards that we have out on the tables. On the left are comics in chinese and spanish. These are for kids. We worked on developing the chinese card with chinatown cdc. On my left before i turn it over will be an update on chinese focus campaign. As part of the communications and education strategy and the Action Strategy is a heavy focus on equity and deeper engagement through Traffic Safety campaigns that speak to certain populations such as communities of concern or vulnerable populations. First is on the chinese speaking community in sf, the largest minority in the city. These are from a fair that we attended hosted by the Chinese Hospital in chinatown. We did outreach talking to mostly seniors and patients at the health fair. We are reaching out to cpos to set up focus groups to get a better understanding of the top Traffic Safety concerns and how they best receive and share information. This helped a campaign, what it looks like and the best Media Channels, whether they are chinese newspapers or radio. Those kinds of things.
