Information as a Transportation System manager. Obviously theyll have to pay citations and where it requires pay all your citations before the program starts, youll have to comply with existing traffic laws. Enforcement is an important component as you can imagine. All pcos, all parking control officers and muni inspectors will be trained and able to Issue Citations for compliance. They will also be the program will pay for dedicated pcos during peak hour who will be working on overtime, so not redirected from other services to focus on shared zones and nonshared zones to make sure there is compliance. As the Program Ramps up there will be a high ened level of enforcement to ensure that only those buses with the permit are stopping in the allowed zones and that neither they nor any of the other shuttles that dont have a permit are stopping at any of our other muni zones. And as i mentioned, the on board placard is an important tool for our enforcement officers to be easily see whats al
My apologies for that. So, today the board is being asked to take action on two things. One is amending the transportation code to create the shuttle permit program. And then the second is to adopt the detailed outline of what it would take to implement this pilot thats in the attachment that you have as part of your agenda item. The next steps, if you choose to move forward, would be to request proposals for stops from the operators and to ask for residents input and muni operators input on specific street conditions, specific stop information. We would then be spending a few months evaluating all of these stops and all of this information and our goal is to approve a network and that would be done by an sfmta hearing officer, and do the processing by june and launch the program in july. Within 18 months the pilot would be complete by december 2015. And that is my overview. Thank you very much. Very comprehensive. Excellent presentation, ms. Payne. Appreciate that. We have been joined
And this proposal will do that. So, i strongly support it. I think its important to back up. And despite haltssome may say, it is absolutely the case, these shuttles are part of our goal to be a transit first city. Would you care so expand on that . Thank you. We know that no matter how good muni is, and i know its going to get better as we really start prioritizing investment in the city over time, no matter how good it is it does not meet everyones needs. When you look at People Living in San Francisco, particularly commuting the work in the city, that is not a new thing. People have commuted from silicon valley. Theyve done it over years. Now they can do it by shuttle. Some people on the peninsula can jump on caltrain and not work for them. Some people with one or two muni bus connections between caltrain, taking caltrain, then maybe having to find the bus or the shuttle to get from there to where theyre working, that can quickly become a 2 to 3 hour commute each way and those peopl
Working with the shuttle providers, working with residents who have expressed concerns in trying to come up with solution. But its not good enough just to have onex lent employee who is trying to hold things together. You need to have a program in place that is funded. And this proposal will do that.
