Motion 110119.01

Whereas, Employees of the City & County of San Francisco, including many at the SFMTA, are expected to pay for employee parking;

Whereas, Employees in private business are expected to pay for parking, even employees who begin or end work late at night;

Whereas, The SFMTA has asked, in accordance with the City’s Transit First policy, San Franciscans to pay more for parking at garages, parking lots, and parking meters;

Whereas, The plan for SFMTA employees to pay for parking was adopted as part of the FY2011/FY2012 budget; now, therefore be it

Resolved that the SFMTA CAC recommends that the SFMTA Board of Directors immediately adopt the plan for all SFMTA employees to pay for employee parking and the fines pertaining thereto.

Motion 110119.02

The SFMTA CAC recommends that the SFMTA Board of Directors adopt the increase in the meter-bagging rate and to begin enforcement of the Planning Code ban on discounted parking, per the assumption made in the FY2011/FY2012 approved budget.

Motion 110119.03

Whereas, The State of California is charging an additional $3 for every citation issued in the state to fund courthouses, the SFMTA CAC recommends that this additional $3 court surcharge, and any future state-imposed surcharges for parking citations, be passed on to violators by the SFMTA Board of Directors.

Motion 110119.04

Whereas eliminating partial window wraps would affect only 10-12 vehicles and cost the agency $2 million, the SFMTA CAC recommends that the SFMTA Board of Directors postpone consideration of a ban on wraps until the next full budget cycle, for FY2013 and FY2014.

  1. Discussion and possible action regarding recommendations from the Engineering, Maintenance and Safety Committee.

Motion 110126.05

SFMTA CAC recommends that a direct telephone connection between the Line Management Center (LMC) and the Metro Rail Operator (MRO) supervisor on the platform of the Embarcadero station be established, using the existing landline telephone to the platform and new wireless headset for the MROs.  This would enable the LMC to re-direct LRVs from one line to another for their outbound run.  As a consequence, this would reduce bunching and service would be better distributed.

Motion 110126.06

SFMTA CAC recommends that at least two MRO supervisors, equipped with wireless headsets, be stationed at the Embarcadero station during peak periods, one for the inbound and one for the outbound platform.

Motion 110126.07

SFMTA CAC recommends that MROs at Embarcadero station ensure that regular and relief operators exit and enter the LRVs as quickly as possible, in order to reduce dwell times for inbound and outbound vehicles.

Motion 110126.08

SFMTA CAC recommends that at least one MRO supervisor be stationed at all four non-subway terminals at all times in order to actively manage the schedule.
