I requested this item to be heard to get an update Media Relations with the San Francisco Unified School District but also to get an update on muni service to the students. San Francisco Unified School District we are constantly asking ourselves how well were serving our students so its natural we would inquire how the City Services are doing and we educate 57,000 School Children and the majority fall within the federal poverty guidelines and many are dependent on Public Transportation it to and from school. Ails the board of education decided to reduce the bus service of yellow buses and making them more dependent on Public Transportation. With the increase of San Francisco residents for the past four years every year and our population increased by 10,000 new residents i think it would be interesting to see how the residents have impacted muni service if at all and what is the Current Service to the students particularly on city schools and how are the decisions made. We thank you fo
Commodity, so thats something that has worked very well and is a resource to principals throughout the city. This map here shows the free muni for Youth Activity by zip code. You can see over 26,000 students have enrolled in the Program Since its inception of march 2013. We extended the eligibility to include 18 year olds as well as 1922 year olds that are enrolled in sfusd education services. The Program Costs over two years in the order of 8 million. Our next challenge will be to find a stable longterm Funding Source for this program, but it is heavily used throughout the city in particular in the Southeast Quadrant as well as the north of market. We are also always trying to learn more about how students use the system. We did the transit effectiveness project which is a Systems Study in 2007 and 2008. I had the opportunity to do focus groups with students and really talk to them. We partnered with the Youth Commission so we had student facilitators so we trained the students and th
Really Successful Program as well. We tried for that program as much as possible that hire people that come from the low income neighborhoods that students are riding from so there is a relationship and its a known face and known commodity, so thats something that has worked very well and is a resource to principals throughout the city.

Mission, 49 up van ness and down the line so we do have a set of routes that we watch very closely for School Activity and we increase the service during school times so in the morning as well as from about the two to four period in the afternoon. As i mentioned we do have about 27 routes that are shown on the map below and match some of the routes we talked about so the green line for example is the 28 which is a heavily used school route. The purple is the 38. These are buses that start empty at school at the end of the day, and what that allows is for students just to leave the building and get on the bus and they do the regular school route. We are not because we receive federal Transit Administration funds were not able to just have school only routes or routes that just have students on them but by adding the extra routes into the schedule they full up with students and they continue to do the regular routes. Were always evaluating and responding to requests where we theed this a
