The SFMTA could legally charge commuter shuttles a higher fee
Under a newly approved pilot program that sanctions private commuter shuttles' use of San Francisco public bus stops, shuttle operators will be made to pay a fee of $1 per stop, per day.
Many community members have criticized this fee as being too low. In response, city officials have indicated that their hands are tied due to a state law prohibiting them from charging any more than that.
But we've just learned that under Proposition 218 – the state law that limits local governments' ability to impose new fees – the city has more discretion about how to calculate "cost recovery" than officials have let on.
"Prop. 218 is part of a legal scheme that doesn't so much limit how we calculate cost recovery," said spokesperson Gabriel Zitrin, of the San Francisco City Attorney's office, "but limits the city to cost recovery."
At the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency Board meeting yesterday afternoon (Tue/21), Project Manager Carli Paine explained very clearly how her team had arrived at the $1 per stop, per day fee amount.
"We identified everything it would take to implement this program," Paine said. After identifying all the program components, the agency "took the number of stop events and came up with a 'per stop event' cost." Further clarifying, Paine said, "The kinds of costs we included are upfront costs, ongoing program costs."
Even while remaining within the limitations of Prop. 218, however, the SFMTA could determine whether there are other costs associated with allowing private commuter shuttles to use public transportation infrastructure, beyond just the cost of issuing permits and placards.
It would be well within the legal rights of the city to recover identified costs, as long as they were not already being recovered elsewhere, according to Zitrin's explanation.
If shuttles' use of public bus stops cause transit delays, for instance, what are the costs associated with those delays? More overtime pay for bus drivers?
Low-income kids getting to school late and missing breakfast? What's the cost of that?
If rents rise in neighborhoods located along the shuttle routes (studies show they do), what are the associated costs of that phenomenon? What's the cost of displacement resulting from those higher rents, which can create a new class of commuters originating from the East Bay?
There are no simple answers, of course. But thanks to data and technology (two things Google seems to know an awful lot about) many costs associated with the private use of public infrastructure can likely be identified.
Zitrin said it was tough to say more without having the details.
"As far as our office is concerned," he said, "we would need full detail on what costs are being recovered."
folks you do not like. A shuttle bus that uses a stop just ten times a week is really not costing the city much of anything at all. Ten bucks sounds about right to me.
Anyway, it's moot, as the decision was made unanimously. Move on.
That's the solution which no one can argue with. Progressives can win this 100% by doing that - why are they doing everything in their power to AVOID that course of action if San Franciscans are so united behind the anti-work shuttle cause?
I see no evidence that they do. This is an obsession of a fringe group on the left.
for using the MUNI stops? Why did he stop there - what about $20 billion or $50 billion?
If you saw what happened at the meeting the commissioners repeatedly made the point that this was a pilot program and that the payment fee could indeed be adjusted later on.
But the part about paying for kids getting to school late is silly. At the meeting they made it clear that there were other provisions being put into effect regarding how the shuttles could use bus stops and which bus stops they could use. Carli Paine said that there were some stops where the shuttles had no negative effect because of the way that they were configured and used.
That is how they would limit kids getting to school late because, for the important thing is that the kids aren't delayed. Rebecca sounds like she would prefer to have kids delayed if it meant that we could soak Google for a few bucks.
The fact that a few whiners are not happy doesnt mean it is not working. In fact, it could be a good sign that it is.
because of a Google bus? I want a check - how can we put this in place so I can get some free cash money?
FYI, another thing that Carli Paine said that was only about 20% of the shuttle boardings were heading south out of the city and that 80% were "intra city" for schools, hospitals, local business, etc... There was an executive from Bauer who said that they administered many of those shuttles and that they had been using city bus stops for at least ten years.
So the "Google" buses are only 20% of the perps. Obviously Rebeccca can't write about that but it was said at the meeting yesterday.
airport shuttles and all the various employer shuttles, then Google is probably 1%.
Also a Google shuttle probably does just five round trips a week. UCSF shuttles run 18 hours a day.
common carriers with an exemption for school buses. The tech shuttles are large double decked buses while most of the others you mention are smaller than MUNI buses.
It's a bus.
The negative impacts of a large double decked tour bus or tech shuttle are much greater than the smaller UCSF or airport shuttle buses.
The fact that a vehicle is taller does not affect it's footprint.
Weight matters but then, if that is the problem, what about trucks?
Width doesn't vary much, and length is only an issue for turns.
Overall I think the whining here has more to do with WHO is in these buses than WHAT these buses are.
And that is where I have a problem.
Free parking on Sundays, holidays, and in the evenings = private use of public infrastructure.
private use of public infrastructure.
on Market St are primarily used as urinals or storage spaces for the homeless so they actually do have some public infrastructure benefit.
I think a ten dollar a day charge per SFBG box is reasonable.
After all, tech buses only use space for a minute, but a newspaper box is always there.
If the person you vote for likes to spend your taxes should go up.
If we are going to base taxes on choices, then if you vote for spenders you should pay more.
Maybe San Francisco should worry about implementing MUNI's charter with the city that says they have to run at 80% efficiency or be fined and penalized.
MUNI has never run at 80% efficiency.
¤ If one of the requirements is a realtime feed of the locations of every Google Bus, there's going to be a cost attached to handling that data. Probably a techie salary.
It's not like having them on NextBus would allow you to catch one.
That said, Google commuters may already be able to locate the shuttles - UCSF has that system already for their shuttles
It would be hard to compute how much *later* Muni busses are because of the shuttles. The cost of "poor kids being late", really tugging at heartstrings there. To be fair, the societal benefit of telemarketers being late to work would also have to be calculated.

Another Walmart Foundation $5 Day has come and gone, but many guests, no doubt, left inspired by the science they had learned.
Hundreds of families visited and experienced all the Science Center has to offer including summer's traveling exhibits Adventures with Clifford The Big Red Dog and Blue Man Group — Making Waves; giant-screen and 3D films in the Dr. Phillips CineDome and Digital Adventure Theater: A National Geographic Experience, respectively; live shows like KaBoom!; and all four floors of exhibits.
Of course, a giant "thank you" is extended to the Walmart Foundation for making it easier for the Central Florida community to enjoy Orlando Science Center.

When and why do you choose to troll for this species?
Big dolphin start to show around mid- to late April and stay through May, tapering off in June. We have excellent dolphin fishing all summer, but the later fish are mostly bailers (3 to 6 pounds) with a few gaffers.
I choose to troll because you can cover a lot of ground in the course of a seven-hour fishing day. At that time of year, we usually have some distinct current edges or grass lines, depending on the Gulf Stream and its eddies. A lot of boats stop on the first grass line they see and fish there all day. I personally don't like fishing behind a bunch of boats, so I usually keep going or just set out in the open over 50 fathoms and start looking for something floating. Many days, you can find a second or third grass line in deeper water.
Describe your favorite trolling outfit and rig for this species.
My favorite rig is a 4-inch Mold Craft Junior Wide Range in pink and blue over a strip bait (menhaden, false albacore or Uncle Josh offshore pork rind). The strip is about eight inches long and about an inch wide, squared at the front and tapered to the end.
I use two Mustad 3407SS 7/0 hooks rigged together, tied to 25 feet of 125-pound clear Sufix mono with a clinch knot. I crimp a loop at the end of the leader and attach it to a 100-pound-test Kroc ball-bearing snap swivel. Above the swivel, I use light-blue Berkley ProSpec mono main line. I double about two feet of the main line, using a Bimini twist, and tie that to the swivel with a uni-knot.
I'll run this rig with a Penn International 30 and matching IGFA Penn rod. I also use standard ballyhoo rigs on 80-pound leader to 30-pound mono on a Penn Squall 50LD with a 6½-foot medium-action rod.
Why is this your favorite trolling rig/outfit for this species?
The rig's my favorite because we might encounter 10-pound or 50-pound dolphin. This rig catches most of them most of the time. Smaller dolphin will pick the bait off a single hook. The strip bait works as good as any other bait, and it's a lot less expensive.

Kyle Vinales backs off his commitment to Toledo
May 13, 2013, 12:44 PM EDT
Former Central Connecticut State guard Kyle Vinales looks like he has changed his mind about heading to Toledo.
After tweeting his commitment to the school last night, Vinales backed off on Monday morning, deleting any mention of Toledo from his twitter account and sending out the following update:
After praying and talkin to the people closest to I've decided to wait a little longer to make my decision. I'm still open to recruiting.
— kyle vinales (@kylevinales1) May 13, 2013
Vinales will be a solid addition to whatever schools ends up bringing him in. He has to sit out the 2013-2014 season, per transfer rules, but he can score the ball. He averaged 21.8 points as a sophomore, and still has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Two large kettles played an important part in my
Grandmother's work. One was a big, black kettle the
other a brass kettlee. The black kettle was iron with
three short legs. It would hold around thirty gallons.
The broad top tapered down to a small rounded bottom.
This made the stirring or dipping out the contents
more easily. This kettle was set in a ring with three
iron legs, high enough to allow chunks of wood to be
placed underneath. This ring was made, from one wagon
wheel tire, bv the blacksmith.
This kettle was used for many things. On washday it
was filled with water to be heated for washing clothes.
The clothes were rubbed on a wash board or put on a
was bench and beaten with a "battin' stick". The white
clothes were put into the kettle along with lye soap
and water and boiled for a certain length of time.
The white shirt was often called the boiled shirt.
The black kettle was used during butchering, for
heating water, rendering lard and making head cheese.
It was was also used during soap and hominy making.
The brass kettle was smaller than the black one,
but just as useful. It was a delightful thing in
the apple-butter making time. The exact measurements
for this delicious concoction, I cannot remember. I
know that to the kettle of quartered apples, she
added three quart cups of apple cider, two pint
