Motion 120202.06 The SFMTA CAC recommends that, if the Board considers charging for transfers or increasing the single cash fare for non-Clipper users, that it opt for the latter option. The SFMTA CAC urges the Board to examine the experience of AC Transit in implementing these options. Motion 120222.01 WHEREAS, San Francisco is a Transit First City, as established in repeated votes of the people, the SFMTA CAC recommends that the SFMTA Board undertake all possible efforts, including directing the efforts of the agency’s legislative liaison, to preserve federal funding for transit in negotiations over the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act of 2012. Motion 120305.01 The SFMTA CAC recommends that the SFMTA Board request from the City Attorney a memo outlining the power of and constraints on of the SFMTA and/or the City and County of San Francisco to regulate and/or charge franchise fees or use fees on tour buses, charter buses, private shuttle buses, private educational institutions’ buses, and commuter buses for payment for use of SFMTA bus stops, blocking transit right-of-way, and blocking bike lanes, and further that the SFMTA Board make this memo public in order to allow policy deliberation by the SFMTA CAC and other interested parties and stakeholders. Motion 120305.02 WHEREAS, San Francisco voters approved Proposition A in November 2007; and, WHEREAS, Proposition A dedicated 80% of City parking revenues, a sum amounting to $26 million to transit; and, WHEREAS, In the subsequent budgets since that time, the MTA has authorized “work orders” that sent those new resources out of the MTA at the expense of transit operations; therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the SFMTA Citizens’ Advisory Council finds that the public support for securing additional needed resources for transit operations requires that the MTA Board of Directors meet its end of the bargain made to the voters in 2007; and, therefore, be it FINALLY RESOLVED, That the SFMTA Citizens’ Advisory Council urges the MTA Board of Directors to begin to rebuild public trust in the agency’s ability to dedicate new resources to transit operations by ending at least $26 million in work orders so that those dollars can be restored to transit operations as promised to the voters prior to seeking new revenues for transit operations. Motion 120305.03 The SFMTA CAC recommends that the SFMTA Board work with 311 to channel arrival time requests from 311 to 511, to negotiate a minimal charge for 311 calls which don’t require interaction with a human operator, and to publicize 511 for the types of information requests 511 is able to handle. Motion 120305.04 The SFMTA CAC recommends that the SFMTA seek grant money from sources which would not otherwise go to the SFMTA for a pilot program for free Muni fares for low-income youth during school commute hours with a limited number of rides per day. Motion 120305.05 The SFMTA CAC supports the staff proposal for a $2 million reduction in management salaries and benefits. 10. Committee Members’ requests for information. (For discussion only) 11.
