18-668 H - Rebuilding Ridership Rebuilding Ridership. BART 02/13 Board of Directors Its unfortunate that the clipper card system really does limit what BART is capable of doing in encouraging sales. They're still reliant on tickets for providing discounts and free travel.

18-669 I - Operations Update Operations Update. BART 02/13 Board of Directors By 2023 we're not really supposed to be seeing the old BART trains anymore. I'm a little scared of such a future, I'll kinda miss them.

18-670 J - Parking Program Update Parking Program Update. BART 02/13 Board of Directors They're thinking about doing some parking cost increases but no one really has an idea what to do that would compromise with the auto-dependent directors. They need a 2/3rd passing vote so nothing will probably get done. The common view was maybe they could use parking to supplement bus service in the suburbs.

18-674 N - The BART Brand The BART Brand. BART 02/14 Board of Directors I was laughing at this in the meeting. This feels ridiculous "Let's Go" is the new BART phrase? I can believe that BART needs new branding, maybe even a new logo but I don't believe that "Let's go" is going to stand out. Maybe I'm wrong but I was cringing in the meeting

7.D. All-door Boarding Memo 1.7.20 Consider authorizing the General ManagerreceivingReceive a report on the District’s plan to pilot... AC Transit 02/12 Board of Directors I'm personally against AC Transit instituting all door boarding. Seems like another way to let people ride the bus for free with extra steps. but assuming they do a pilot first to show that they're still extracting the same fares, it might be alright

Slide Presentation PDF 2-18-20 MTAB Item 12 Fare Policy SFMTA 02/18 Board of Directors meeting 2020 Is San Francisco claiming to be progressive while aiming to be the most expensive transit agency in the Bay Area, probably in California, for a single local fare ticket? Comparing themselves to other US major agencies and they don't even have a daily pass(except with a phone app) like those other agencies do. So much for getting closer to free.

Slide Presentation PDF 2-18-20 MTAB Item 13 Curb Management Strategy SFMTA 02/18 Board of Directors meeting 2020 Gosh 90% of curb space goes to parking... Why am I not surprised?

Slide Presentation PDF 2-18-20 MTAB Item 14 Muni Forward Quick Build SFMTA 02/18 Board of Directors meeting 2020 This quick-build stuff is great. I wish I knew how much of it to thank the former director Reiskin for and how much is the new director's impact. whom I'm sure is looking at putting quick-build into overdrive. They're definitely reviewing things in my ideal approach. recognizing where cars are most blocking buses and kicking cars out of a lane.

Staff Report PDF 2-18-20 MTAB Item 18 Central Subway Contract Modifications SFMTA 02/18 Board of Directors meeting 2020 This is so seemingly crooked. I don't know why SFMTA has to keep amending their contract to complete the central subway, which was supposed to be done last year.

MTC 01/30 Metropolitan Transportation Commission Workshop FASTER has a congestion management fee now. which sounds good. It means they're taking Voices for Public Transportation in consideration. I don't understand why they still need the full 1% sales tax though and how it only ends up being the same 65b. so I'm suspicious. More a yes with this idea than the flat NO I was before but how the bill turns out is what matters.

MTC 01/30 Metropolitan Transportation Commission Workshop Voices of Public Transportation got to make a presentation at the MTC workshop as well.

MTC 01/31 Joint Metropolitan Transportation Commission and ABAG Executive Board I'm actually surprised that so many think we need a regional approach to housing. albeit something makes me believe everyone just thinks that housing should be built housing elsewhere in the region

MTC 02/12 Bay Area Toll Authority Oversight Committee Considering my time on the transbay buses. I would agree that the problem is on the approaches to the Bay Bridge not on the bridge itself. Most of the time we would fly through the bridge once we got on there. although I would contend that the carpool lanes at the toll plaza were a mess.
