June 14, 2019 PUBLIC HEARING to RECEIVE COMMENT ON June 14, 2019 PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE COMMENT ON PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW FERRY ROUTE AND FARE FOR SPECIAL EVENT SERVICE FROM LARKSPUR TO THE CHASE CENTER IN SAN FRANCISCO Thursday, June 20, 2019, 9:30 a.m. Board Room, Administration Building, Golden Gate Bridge Toll Plaza San Francisco, CA Introduction The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District’s Board of Directors (Board) policy states that establishing a new bus or ferry route constitutes a “Major Service Change” and thus requires a public engagement process that includes a formal public hearing. Similarly, Board policy also requires a public hearing to establish a new fare. The public hearing on June 20 to receive public comment on the proposed special event ferry service to Chase Center and associated special event ferry fare is in accordance with this policy. The proposed ferry service to Chase Center initially would operate for evening Warriors games and potentially serve a limited number of special events, such as concerts. This service would be analogous to the existing special event service to Oracle Park (formerly known as AT&T Park) for San Francisco Giants baseball games and other events. Also per Board Policy, the current Oracle Park service must recover all of its operating cost through fares. The current fare for Oracle Park service is $14.00 per person. Because this service is not considered regular service, no discounts are available through Clipper, nor for seniors, persons with disabilities, or youth. It is recommended that the Board apply the same policy for the new service to Chase Center so that the fare is set to cover the cost of the service. It is recommended that fare to the Chase Center be set at $14.00, and that the fare be evaluated and changed, if necessary, mid-2020 to ensure that costs are fully recovered. Background The Golden State Warriors (Warriors) will move to the new Chase Center in the Mission Bay area of San Francisco later this summer, with the first games scheduled for September. The Chase Center development has been predicated on having the majority of event attendees utilize public transportation. The Chase Center will provide 950 parking spaces, with another 2,000 in the general vicinity, yet the facility will have 18,000 seats. A coordinated effort has been made to have as many people as possible use Muni, Caltrain and ferry service to and from events. The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District (District) has been involved in discussions with the Port of San Francisco, the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA), and the Warriors for more than a year to establish ferry service from Larkspur for basketball games and special events at the Chase Center. BOX 9000, PRESIDIO STATION ♦ SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94129-0601 ♦ USA PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON A PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW FERRY ROUTE AND FARE FOR SPECIAL EVENT SERVICE FROM LARKSPUR TO THE CHASE CENTER IN SAN FRANCISCO June 20. 2019 Page 2 Public Comment Process Public comments on this proposal to operate ferry service to the Chase Center and establish a ferry fare for this service can be submitted in several different ways: 1. Attend the public hearing; 2. E-mail [email protected]; and/or, 3. Send written comments to the District Secretary. All comments are considered equally without regard to the manner in which the comments are submitted. Therefore, individuals do not have to attend the public hearing and provide testimony in person if they have commented through e-mail or written forms. All comments received through the above methods will be considered in the final recommendation. Comments must be received by 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 20, 2019. Title VI Equity Analysis Because this proposal creates a new service, the proposal is considered a major service change under the Board policy. Final recommendation to the Board after the Public Hearing would include the results of a required Title VI equity analysis. This analysis will be completed after the Public Hearing in order to reflect any public comments received on the proposal to implement this service. Public Notification Outreach on the proposal to add this service began after the Board authorization to hold this public hearing on May 17 and continued into mid-June prior to the public hearing. Public notification activities included: Advertisements in local publications (Marin Independent Journal, Santa Rosa Press Democrat and San Francisco Chronicle; Ferry terminal signage advertising the Public Hearing; Press Releases to local media; Social Media Postings on Facebook and Twitter; and, Email blast to customers and community-based organizations. Translation of all printed materials and handouts in Spanish will be available, per the District’s Limited English Proficiency (LEP) plan. Next Steps Following the public hearing, staff will evaluate all comments received and determine whether changes or modifications need to be made to the proposal to establish new ferry service between the Chase Center and the Larkspur Ferry Terminal. A final recommendation will be brought back to the Board of Directors at the July 25, 2019 Transportation Committee meeting and to the full Board on the following day. .
