    Motion 100713.01

    The SFMTA CAC recommends that the SFMTA actively seek to reduce the number of intersections at which pedestrians must press a button in order to activate a walk phase, except in locations where such elimination would significantly impede the speed of transit vehicles.  The SFMTA CAC is not recommending a reduction in accessible pedestrian signals, which are valuable to vision-impaired pedestrians, and is recommending only a reduction in the types of signals where a button press is necessary to activate a walk phase.

    Motion 100914.01

    The SFMTA CAC recommends that the SFMTA Board of Directors support training of other city agencies or utilities regarding the impact they have on transit operations.

    Motion 100914.02

    The SFMTA CAC recommends to the SFMTA Board of Directors the following changes and additions to the Daily Operations Report:

    • Add the lines affected for the not-outs

    • Add a column to report the percentage of operators absent

    • Change the time for reporting line delays from greater than 20 minutes to greater than 10 minutes

    • Add a report line for each transit line that shows the on-time daily performance

    In addition, the user should have the ability to drill down to access the raw data behind any number on the report.  In general, the report should be organized to show, where possible, a comparison to the key operations service standards on a daily basis, instead of waiting for a quarterly compilation.

    Motion 100914.03

    The SFMTA CAC urges the SFMTA Board of Directors to strongly support the removal of three parking spaces as recommended by staff to make it possible for the 39 Coit to make a safe U-turn at the top of Union Street.

  5. Discussion and possible action regarding recommendations from the Finance and Administration Committee.

    Motion 100721.02

    The SFMTA CAC recommends that the SFMTA Board authorize a nexus study and economic impact study on charging a stall fee for free, privately owned parking lots.

  6. Committee Members’ requests for information.  (For discussion only)
  7. Schedule upcoming calendar items.  (For discussion only)
    Next regular meeting:  Thursday, November 4, at 5:30 p.m.
