Speakers told the board the draft or newly enacted permit rules that allow only two hours of permitted parking are unworkable for people who must work, have caregiving duties, or need longer periods to access services. They repeatedly urged the board and staff to: (1) adopt an appeals process to restore revoked or denied permits; (2) prioritize life and safety in a \"Good Neighbor\" policy rather than minor infractions; (3) stop towing RVs for expired registration while the permitting phase is underway and do not tow permitted vehicles; (4) allow multiple permit extensions until households can be matched to appropriate housing; and (5) guarantee language access and culturally competent outreach.

Speakers and organizations included RV residents (names given in testimony), Coalition on Homelessness representatives, End Poverty Coalition members, GLIDE policy staff, Senior and Disability Action and Latino parity advocates. Notable points: advocates said towings are already happening and some residents reported losing their vehicles; they argued that the plan as implemented would push people into more visible street homelessness rather than into stable housing. Several speakers described the permit as effectively criminalizing poverty and called for safe‑parking alternatives.

The board did not take formal action on the RV policy during this meeting; public comment was recorded and several board members acknowledged the testimony and asked staff to engage further. The speakers' requests included concrete implementation changes that the board and staff may be asked to address in later agenda items or follow‑up meetings.

Project staff told the board that Larkin between Market and Sutter recorded 150 reported collisions in the prior five years, 41% involving pedestrians, including two fatalities. The quick build spans 11 blocks and proposes a lane reduction from three to two northbound lanes between Geary and Sutter (where Muni does not operate), dedicated left‑turn only lanes at Turk, Eddy and Geary in coordination with upcoming signal upgrades, painted pedestrian safety zones, turn safety treatments, extension of five bus stops to standard curb lengths (80 feet for near side/100 feet for far side), new loading spaces and 11 new accessible (blue) zones on Larkin and adjacent side streets.

Elizabeth Chen, SFMTA transportation engineer, and Paul Stanis, acting pedestrian program manager, presented outreach and design work. Chen said the team conducted door‑to‑door outreach and translated materials into multiple languages. Stanis described the Tenderloin as fully on the city's Vision Zero high‑injury network and noted prior neighborhood actions including a 20 mph speed limit and no‑turn‑on‑red restrictions.

Walk San Francisco and neighborhood groups testified in support during public comment. Director Hinsley (board member) moved to approve the project; a second was recorded and the motion passed on a roll call vote with all directors voting \"aye.\" Staff said quick‑build implementation would begin in late 2025 following recently completed paving work to reduce construction impacts.

Mahorder said the agency's revenue gains came from two primary sources: increased fare compliance and stronger parking revenue. Transit fare revenue exceeded budget by roughly $2–3 million; SFMTA staff estimated about $2.1 million of the revenue gain was attributable to increased fare compliance rather than ridership alone. Parking revenue was about $11 million above budget. Mahorder also said about $40 million of the year's favorable result came from one‑time capital recoveries tied to federally reimbursable overhead on capital projects; about $10 million of the improvement was ongoing operating savings.

Why it matters: The agency faces a projected multiyear operating shortfall beginning in FY 2025–26 that staff described during the meeting as on the order of several hundred million dollars. Mahorder and Director Wise said the year's gains provide a modest cash cushion (fund balance) but are not a substitute for structural solutions. Mahorder emphasized that one‑time capital recoveries should not be treated as recurring revenue.

Board discussion focused on how the year’s results affect reserves and the coming two‑year budget process. Mahorder explained that the $84 million would fall to the agency's fund balance and recommended considering policy options for whether to convert portions of that one‑time fund balance into a formal reserve. Directors also asked staff to present tradeoffs between using one‑time funds for reserves, one‑time investments, or other financial tools.

Quotes from the meeting included Mahorder's summary: \"Due to revenue optimization... and fiscal control... we're actually going to end the year having collected $84,000,000 more in revenue than we expended.\" Director Wise framed the broader context: \"If we can't meet our economic climate and house goals without a well‑functioning Muni system... where are we?\" (Victoria Wise).

What comes next: Staff said the agency will begin the two‑year budget process in October, bring policy options for reserves and one‑time spending, and continue monitoring fare compliance and parking strategies as part of revenue planning.

SB 63 would authorize a 14‑year regional transit operations measure on the November 2026 ballot in five Bay Area counties. True said the bill would allow a half‑cent sales tax in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties and up to 1 cent in San Francisco; revenues would not begin to flow until mid‑2027. He said SFMTA'specific revenue modeling projects roughly $170,000,000 a year for the agency in the measure''s first full fiscal year, subject to the final measure and voter approval.

True also briefed the board on ongoing state discussions about a one‑time state loan (language carried in SB 105 and AB 105) that would help shore up near‑term operating shortfalls while ballot measures are pursued. He said the loan discussions remain active and the governor and Legislature included related budget language to keep options open.

Why it matters: SFMTA and other Bay Area transit operators face a projected operating shortfall in the coming year. The regional measure and any state support are intended to provide multi‑year operating revenue to maintain service. True emphasized the bill includes a range of accountability provisions, including an independent oversight committee with one county representative per county and a two‑phase independent third‑party financial efficiency review overseen by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

True also summarized late‑session state action to extend California's cap‑and‑trade program and rename it \"Cap and Invest.\" He said the reauthorization runs through 2045 and adopts a $4.2 billion annual expenditure plan that, by priority, sets aside roughly $1.0 billion per year for high‑speed rail, $1.0 billion discretionary for the Legislature and allocates the remainder to continuously appropriated climate and transit programs. True identified two continuously appropriated programs of interest to SFMTA: the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program (TRCP/TRSIP) with a roughly $400,000,000 cap and Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) at approximately $200,000,000 in the new plan.

Quotes in context are from SFMTA officials: \"SB 63 authorizes a 14 year regional transit operations revenue measure...\" (Judson True) and \"we will continue working on this in the months ahead\" (True).

What comes next: True said the agency will provide additional written detail to the board and expects more public briefings as the governor acts on SB 63 and as loan and implementation details are negotiated.
