TransportationCommission | 2017-11-15 | 5 | Mr. Connolly said their initial study said that they should look at $2-3 per day. He said that further information indicates that it might take something like $5 to get people to change behavior. He said using a phone or app like Golden Gate ferry has worked very well. Chair Bellows asked if the AC Transit driver could notify the ferry to wait if they are close but running behind. Mr. Connolly said the problem is on AC Transit's end. He said the boat is 99% on time. Commissioner Miley said he knows Line 21 is not reliable because of the length of the route. He asked if AC Transit has considered splitting the route. Staff Member Ott said AC Transit is looking at ways to address that issue systematically. Commissioner Hans asked if moving the last ferry to a slightly later time would help solve the problem for parents who have to drop off kids at school. Mr. Connolly said they have competing groups of riders that want earlier or later departure times. He said they are facing new issues at Harbor Bay every year due to increased ridership. Christine Lok said she represents a large group of riders. She said the AC Transit service does not serve the ferry riders well. She said she supports the parking permit idea. She says it has to coincide with other improvements and that riders will want to know where the funds are going. *No action was required* 5C 2017-4941 Review Climate Plan Update Draft Work Scope (Information) Staff Member Garland gave the staff presentation.

Chair Bellows said the plan seems to be on the right track. She asked if there are any concrete steps we are taking to address the transportation contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. 5 | TransportationCommission/2017-11-15.pdf |
