Im going to ask that either i be allowed share my screen or give us one moment. You there . Thank you. Im forest i will present today on the power scooter shared program and updates regarding safety and enforce am. Thank you for having us here today. So. We are following up with the scoot are shared program and desired out come. First, safe Mobility Options that serve the public interests. Showed supporting Transit Service prosecute voiding first and last mile options. And mobility innovation helps reduce traffic congestion, parking demand and carbon e missions and sharing is designed in a way to maintain access at all times. So, mark for identification challenges with the program include a legal and unsafe riding behavior. Sidewalk, double rideings or the wrong way on the street or improperly parked and impacting rightofway. Including on sidewalks. And rider accountability and equal Service Throughout theef city to ensure scooters are available throughout the city. So. Back ground on the program. This year there are 3 permittees bird was scoot and authorized to have 1500 devices on the street, the others have 2,000. The current permit term expires june 30 of 2023. So next year. And during that time, sfmta will be modifying and planning on changes to the current permit program. Just to a Quick Program snapshot with july 21 and october of 22, there was around 2. 6 million trips. There were citations including both parking and riding citation. Under 15,000. And then we were under 10,000 through complaints about the program. Key requirements about the program are out lined in the permit terms and conditions. And they require various things of permitise in the following categories. Safety and rider accountability. Parking requirements and equity focus adaptive scooter program. Low encome plans. Neighborhood distribution, means ensure they are available throughout the city. Community engage the requirements. Reporting requirements to the sfmta. Labor. Including some Scooter Companies have unionized workforce and suspension allows the director of transportation to upon have a suspension of a permittee if deemed unsafe. So some of the commitments we had from our permittees and i like ton if they are incoming we hole them to their commitments. So these are education. Add pop ups. Safety quizes. On Vehicle Safety messaging. Quarter low Safety Training classes. Penalty structures. Fines and suspensions for improper riding or parking behavior and creating intensity unsafe riding permittees will immediately suspend the account. And then additional low, to institute sidewalk technology on the scooter fleet. So this includes technology that when a scooter itself detectses the rider has mounted the sidewalk to slow and stop the rider. As well as provide oddable messaging and to bring the roadway to a halt. Also part of our permit we have the permanent adaptive program, which when permit started there was the Adoptive Program which still continues riders could check out a scooter and then now we require that the scooter require five of the on street float. The adaptive scooter not available through the mobile application. We have various monthly reporting requirements and all 3 permitise committed to the complimentary Adoptive Program for fee schedule drop off and pick up. And here we this is a note on the transportation day that was with Golden Gate Park on the fifth. Scooter permittees joined the board Cycling Program fir adoptive demonstration day. And now a quick summary of where scooter trips are happening most in the city. The top left and right well is graphics showing the trip destination in the city. And the trips total that there are per month exceed the 100,000 currently. Most of the trips are occurring in the northeast portion of the city. So that includes the financial district, embarcadero, soma and the next Popular Union square and other area neighborhoods including the western edition and the mission other popular locations. And so the most trafficked yours in the city with scooter riders, you see that also relates to where we seat most complaints and where the most scooter parking ptitions are issued. They are passed directly to permittees to independent with and integrated with sales force. The permitise the Scooter Company close out the complaints with the photo to resolve the case and then there is complaints data base and public dash boards to view what is happen to trap complaints about improper parking. Parking complaints required to be resolved in 2 showers investigators independent and Issue Citations for scooters that continue to be misparked. As you can see, there are just to reiterate, most citations are happening in the northeast sections of the city where the most riding is happening. And full transparency the sfmta has put, let of this information on our website. So including various public dash boards the top is a screen shot of similar websites so just as a quick over view scooter citations and trips and device its is less than one of trips have a parking citation or per device and over all these numbers are tied to our permit terms and conditions. With the goal of decrease the numbers and ensuring that the greatest number of trips are all trips and thoughtfully parked and without mispurpose light
