What do you see as the greatest challenges when it comes to providing residents with a livable, affordable and safe community? In recent years, the City has prioritized job creation — bringing thousands of new workers to San Francisco without a comprehensive and strategic plan to support our workforce growth, as well as housing and infrastructure demands. Transportation Network Corporations, such as Uber and Lyft, add over 50,000 additional cars to city streets every day, clogging our streets and wearing down our roads with an additional 170,000 daily trips. We need to assess the extent of the impact these TNCs have on our city, and seriously consider ways in which we can regulate rideshare corporations in San Francisco to reduce the impact they have on everyday mobility and our infrastructure.
