I am sure that the alarming President Trump federal budget is not a surprise, but nonetheless they remain disturbing in stark contrast to invest in infrastructure, he has proposed the budget of 16. 2, billion reflect as a 13 percent cut, with major impacts to transit, and hitting urban and Rural Community as like, the budget proposes eliminating all future funds for grants that we know as the new starts program when are not a part of the signed full Funding Grant agreements. This will effect several major transit projects that have undergone years of review and development and leverage significant state and local voter approved funds, including cal train, and barts expansion and, vehicles and train and control and other local and regional priorities such as better Market Street and brt improvement and cal train, but the impact would not be limited to the region as jobs that are associated with these projects span across the state and nation, in the hundreds of thousands. I want to thank the representatives from cal train, the Transbay Joint Power Authority and the Planning Department who are here to speak to several of these important projects. I know our federal delegation and local leaders are working with counter parts across the state and country to oppose this budget and to keep the current transportation programs intact, as we debate and fight for our priorities the roads and Transit Systems deteriorate and, congestion mountains, and grapple with the affordability crisis, all that have with the Sea Level Rise at our doorstep that is why as we advocate for our priorities we will do everything that we can to advance, state and local and funding measures to transportation and to thaend, this month, we held the initial, meetings for the launch of the transportation, 2045, task force with the Mayors Office and staff from the cta and the mta. The diverse task force will convene with the local revenue and options for the voters to consider in 2018,vy made it a top priority to insure that Community Voices are deeply engaged in the process from the outset and that we are able to learn from successes and failures of the past. Our over all goal is to present a coordinated proposal that integrates closely with the plan, bridge toll measure three thanks is also targeted for the ballot next year. In the meantime, we keep our fingers crossed that the governor and legislature can reach an agreement for our highways and local roads and Transit System wez need Strong Partnership as cross all levels of government. I want to thank the mat and Planning Department and all of you colleagues for your support for my station bike legislation and that i think we send a strong message that San Francisco urban realm and safety will not be compromised by corporations seeking to privatize the ak sets. Continuing later today i will introduce another resolution with commissioner fewer, calling upon our state legislator to allow local jurisdictions to gather information on the sector known as the Transportation Network companies, the request for data on tnt, trips continue to be denied by the California Public utilities commissions when retains, Sole Authority on these, while dense cities like ours, bear the impacts, the residents of San Francisco know from experience that the streets are congested with tnc vehicles that dont know the network or the local road laws. But we need data to back these experiences. Certainly some aspects are beneficial but as policy makers, i think that we growing concerns for the impact of transit, Bicycle Safety and Disability Access and the impact to 2,000 taxi cabs locked in agreementwise the city, i look forward to explore the appropriate strategy and our staff work on the issues tlut up coming Ability Service and Technology Policy study that is conducted and with that colleagues, icon include my remarks.

Thank you, good morning, chair peskin and commissioners this month, i begin with an up date again, on our state transportation revenue discussions as chair peskin mentioned. The federal out look say bit bleak, although we will note that that is still an opening position and there will still be several months of congressional budget negotiations.

We want to be able to take stock of what is available today, as well as what is being planned. Look at the Regulatory Environment at the federal and state and local level and provide a policy framework so that the board and the public can consider each of these as they come not as a single opportunity, and set of issues but as a whole and it has a coordinate tded approach across the sector. We want to bring this work back to you in the next few months, in coordination, and as the chair mentioned we are not wait og these policy frame works but we are actually taking action that is consistent with our city goals. The communities of concern in San Francisco, and across the region have been defined several years ago. I want to up date you on good staff work that we are doing with the sfmta to up date the definition of community of here in San Francisco and the region and the state uses these definition to prioritize funding for competitive grant project and for other policy purposes, previously, the mtc analysis captured a set of disadvantaged communities at a larger geography, that the census track and that generally, reflect what had we believed to be the correct, geography, but there are a few that we wanted to take a closer look at. In order to do so, we captured smaller geographic tracks, and focused our analysis on block level dem graphic soez that we will be tiebl have a more fine tuned definition of communities of certain. And so we are using these factor and threshold to up date the definition on a more census block and we will be bringing that to the board in april for your consideration. There are two calls for projects speaking of funding that are out one is the one Bay Area Grant Program and this is, the frantransportation opportun to distribute, 40 million of federal funding over the next five years.
