On page 28 there is a memo about Prop 6(repeal SB 1) and the ramifications of this to BART. My gosh the reject list is massive I have no idea what is going to happen. Its hard to see it passing but self-interest is a powerful thing. I don't see berkeley or San Francisco on there. I finally have a reason to email my councilmember! Please email your supervisor!(Whether you oppose it or not)

27 bryant is being looked at to be improved. at least on the north of market side.
Samtrans is getting serious about looking at a US-101 express bus. I'm not going to lie I anxiously hope this is the LA Metro Silver line. I doubt any of you know how brilliant that line is. Any US rider who says that a bus can't be anywhere near as good as rail has not ridden the Silver line. But it'll only be acceptable if they get a HOV or HOT lane.

The California Transportation Commission considers most of the bay area eligible for SB 1 money
Kinda neat that they're giving money to rural transit projects.
This is sweet cause money is going into improving access for the AC Transbay buses. hopefully will be ready when transbay bus forward goes forward and the transbay terminal opens up.
report on lifeline services that MTC supports for operations.
Summary report of what happened between May and June from the staff liason
State budget review. It was finally signed by Gov. Brown. He's leaving on a good note - 13.8B in the rainy day fund. first full Sb 1 year = more money in local city and county streets. He fixed up everything and set focus to the legislature. Time for California to screw it all up again!(JK)
Interesting Hill wants to force the CPUC to make TNC be accessible.
A few changes from the federal side. US DOT money is going to HUD. Apparently states and cities can require sales tax from out of state retailers. Thats going to be complicated.
Prop 6 is clearly going to be THE fight prop for Nov 2018. Part of me thinks its a distraction to help save election seats for republicans. but a group did put a lot of effort into ensuring it made to ballot.This gives a LOT of information where money has already gone from SB 1.
Prop 2 concerns me. Alameda county voted down a measure to support homelessness. I didn't agree with the alameda county one because it didn't state how it was going to fix homelessness, it seems this has the same flaw. I wish the state would make a clear cut vision or plan to follow even if its a lie.

Once a bus gets behind schedule, it tends to get later and later, until the bus behind it catches up. But new real-time tracking tools might offer hope.
