    DRAFT MINUTES San Francisco County Transportation Authority Tuesday, November 17, 2020 1. Roll Call Chair Peskin called the meeting to order at 10:04 a.m. Present at Roll Call: Commissioners Fewer, Haney, Mandelman, Preston, Peskin, Ronen, Safai, Stefani, Walton and Yee (10) Absent at Roll Call: Commissioner Mar (entered during Item 2) (1) 2. Chair’s Report – INFORMATION Chair Peskin reported that in addition to helping elect President-elect Biden and Vice- President-elect Harris, San Francisco voters looked favorably on transportation funding measures on November 3rd. He added that locally, San Francisco approved Proposition A, the Health and Homelessness, Parks and Streets Bond. He said that this $487.5 million general obligation bond included $41.5 million to repave and reconstruct roads, rehabilitate, and make seismic improvements to street structures and plazas and to install and renovate curb ramps. He said that there are also funds for re-building parks and open spaces, including safe pedestrian access across the city. Chair Peskin reported that regionally, voters in San Francisco along with all three Caltrain district counties, including Santa Clara and San Mateo, passed Measure RR by over 2/3 approval which is the threshold for the first-ever dedicated funding source for Caltrain. He added that the one-eighth cent sales tax for Caltrain will provide a lifeline to the railroad which is struggling with severe fare revenue loss associated with low levels of ridership during the pandemic. He shared that the funds will also help off-set SFMTA’s obligations to provide operating support, benefitting Muni. He added that the funds will provide a way to build toward Caltrain’s future as an electrified service.
