Opponents continued to protest, leading the Board of Supervisors to hammer out \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/09/s-f-supervisors-deal-would-extend-tech-shuttle-bus-program/\" target=\"_blank\">a deal\u003c/a> with them and the tech companies in February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shuttle companies must apply for a permit to participate in the program, which grants them access to 80 shared Muni stops as well as 29 shuttle-only stops in the city. That's down from an original 125 approved stops before the February deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rose said there are currently 17 permitted shuttle companies operating 789 shuttles on San Francisco streets. Those shuttles carry an average of just under 10,000 riders a day, a 15 percent increase from the pilot program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the program, companies must pay $7.31 each time one of their vehicles makes a stop and must agree to avoid smaller restricted streets. They must also agree to provide the SFMTA with continuous real-time GPS data so the agency can track where the shuttles are driving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[The GPS tracking system] makes enforcement more efficient by allowing us to know when shuttles use restricted streets and allows us to issue penalties when we need to,\" Rose said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rose points to effective enforcement -- fueled by the GPS system and a dedicated enforcement team -- as one of the key reasons the program has been so successful. Shuttle companies are fined $250 if one of their vehicles drives on an unauthorized street. These fines have totaled more than $500,000 since the start of the pilot program, but the average daily number of vehicles on these no-go streets dropped from 195 in April to only 15 in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's also been a 129 percent increase in monthly citations issued to shuttle vehicles between the pilot and the current program, with more than 800 citations being doled out between April and August of this year. The citations are heavily concentrated around busy locations like Valencia and 26th Streets, Divisadero and Haight Streets, and Townsend and Fourth Streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SFMTA received 267 complaints about shuttles between April and August, with 99 coming in the first month. Almost a third of complaints were for shuttles operating on restricted streets. Other complaints focused on shuttles making unauthorized stops, idling, blocking traffic as well as unpermitted shuttles. The report notes that more than 40 percent of all complaints were submitted by one Noe Valley resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As another part of the February deal, the Board Supervisors asked the SFMTA to look into potentially creating a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sfmta-board-approves-changes-to-commuter-shuttle-program/\" target=\"_blank\">\"hub\" model\u003c/a> for the shuttle program that would reduce and concentrate the number of shuttle spots in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the help of the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, the SFMTA studied three potential hub models: a single San Francisco hub, a BART-oriented system with five \"nodes\" within a quarter-mile of the eight San Francisco BART stations, and a freeway-based system with nine nodes located within a quarter-mile of freeway on- and off-ramps. It also studied a more consolidated network similar to the current program with significantly fewer pickup and dropoff locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/projects/2016/Commuter_Shuttle_Hub_Report_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">another report\u003c/a> released last week, the two agencies determined that shuttle ridership would decrease between 24 and 45 percent under a hub model, leading to thousands of additional cars on the road each day and increased potential for crashes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rose said the biggest unknown with a potential switch to a hub model would be how shuttle operators would respond and if they would continue to participate in what is still a voluntary program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't have the authority to determine whether or not shuttles like these can use our city streets,\" Rose said. \"We have the authority to create a program like we have to organize the system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three shuttle companies were interviewed as part of the hub study, and all three voiced concerns about reducing the number of stops and the potential for a hub system to limit commuters' access to the system. Rose said SFMTA staff would expect some companies to move their service partially or completely off the program if it were switched to a hub model.\u003c/p>\n\n",

They must also agree to provide the SFMTA with continuous real-time GPS data so the agency can track where the shuttles are driving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[The GPS tracking system] makes enforcement more efficient by allowing us to know when shuttles use restricted streets and allows us to issue penalties when we need to,\" Rose said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rose points to effective enforcement -- fueled by the GPS system and a dedicated enforcement team -- as one of the key reasons the program has been so successful. Shuttle companies are fined $250 if one of their vehicles drives on an unauthorized street. These fines have totaled more than $500,000 since the start of the pilot program, but the average daily number of vehicles on these no-go streets dropped from 195 in April to only 15 in August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's also been a 129 percent increase in monthly citations issued to shuttle vehicles between the pilot and the current program, with more than 800 citations being doled out between April and August of this year. The citations are heavily concentrated around busy locations like Valencia and 26th Streets, Divisadero and Haight Streets, and Townsend and Fourth Streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SFMTA received 267 complaints about shuttles between April and August, with 99 coming in the first month. Almost a third of complaints were for shuttles operating on restricted streets. Other complaints focused on shuttles making unauthorized stops, idling, blocking traffic as well as unpermitted shuttles. The report notes that more than 40 percent of all complaints were submitted by one Noe Valley resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As another part of the February deal, the Board Supervisors asked the SFMTA to look into potentially creating a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfexaminer.com/sfmta-board-approves-changes-to-commuter-shuttle-program/\" target=\"_blank\">\"hub\" model\u003c/a> for the shuttle program that would reduce and concentrate the number of shuttle spots in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the help of the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, the SFMTA studied three potential hub models: a single San Francisco hub, a BART-oriented system with five \"nodes\" within a quarter-mile of the eight San Francisco BART stations, and a freeway-based system with nine nodes located within a quarter-mile of freeway on- and off-ramps. It also studied a more consolidated network similar to the current program with significantly fewer pickup and dropoff locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/projects/2016/Commuter_Shuttle_Hub_Report_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">another report\u003c/a> released last week, the two agencies determined that shuttle ridership would decrease between 24 and 45 percent under a hub model, leading to thousands of additional cars on the road each day and increased potential for crashes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rose said the biggest unknown with a potential switch to a hub model would be how shuttle operators would respond and if they would continue to participate in what is still a voluntary program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't have the authority to determine whether or not shuttles like these can use our city streets,\" Rose said. \"We have the authority to create a program like we have to organize the system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three shuttle companies were interviewed as part of the hub study, and all three voiced concerns about reducing the number of stops and the potential for a hub system to limit commuters' access to the system. Rose said SFMTA staff would expect some companies to move their service partially or completely off the program if it were switched to a hub model.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Billionaire technology investor and entrepreneur Peter Thiel made headlines last week for his full-throated support of Donald Trump. And while Thiel’s stance isn’t winning many supporters in Silicon Valley, it is a sign of how this year people in the tech industry are taking their political engagement to new levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thing I’m most excited about and most hopeful for is that there are folks my age who are getting more politically engaged,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/3037933/the-visible-man\" target=\"_blank\">Tristan Walker\u003c/a>, the founder and CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://walkerandcompany.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Walker & Company Brands\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker is 32 years old and his company sells beauty and health products to people of color. It’s backed by some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley. His office is based in Palo Alto, and in that democratic stronghold it should be no surprise that Walker isn’t just for Hillary Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am vociferously against Donald Trump. Innovation is what makes America great, diversity is what makes America great,” Walker said. “I think he has no clue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker is African-American and has been an outspoken advocate for diversity. He signed a scathing \u003ca href=\"https://shift.newco.co/an-open-letter-from-technology-sector-leaders-on-donald-trumps-candidacy-for-president-5bf734c159e4#.hb80m1ykr\" target=\"_blank\">public letter\u003c/a> calling Trump a “disaster for innovation.” The co-founders of eBay, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and about 140 other folks in the tech industry also signed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker, like many in the tech industry, supported President Obama during the last election. So why didn't the tech community pen a similar letter against Mitt Romney in the previous election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about Democrat and Republican this year,” Walker said. “This is a referendum on decency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is also supporting a \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/17/tech-election-day-holiday/\" target=\"_blank\">grass-roots campaign to give tech workers the day off to vote\u003c/a>. He said that during this election “civic engagement is actually increasing in a big way” among his colleagues in tech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/290995376\" params=\"auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker Bounds agrees. He’s the co-founder of \u003ca href=\"https://sidewire.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Sidewire\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based social network built on texting. But in a previous life, Bounds was a spokesman for U.S. Sen. John McCain during his run for the presidency in 2008. And he worked on Republican \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/09/21/meg-whitman-to-co-host-clinton-campaign-event/\" target=\"_blank\">Meg Whitman\u003c/a>’s campaign for governor of California in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I see in terms of online engagement and activism from people I worked alongside who have no connection to politics,” Bounds said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds said during the last two elections, his colleagues in tech watched the debates and talked about them. But this time around?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are hosting \u003ca href=\"http://www.nerdz4hillary.com/\" target=\"_blank\">fundraisers \u003c/a>that have never hosted fundraisers before,” Bounds said. “I was just talking to a colleague of mine who works at a technology company who was talking about parachuting into Nevada with her daughter to campaign for Hillary Clinton. And these are people that would never have thought about going to a target state to campaign for a president before.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tech companies are getting involved, too. Spotify launched a podcast this election season called \u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/4b5VHDtJiF64Fctww4QrxH\" target=\"_blank\">Clarify\u003c/a>, which is aimed at getting millennials more engaged. And Facebook launched its first \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/09/23/facebook-launches-first-nationwide-voter-registration-drive/90866726/\" target=\"_blank\"> national voter registration\u003c/a> drive this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Silicon Valley is left-leaning, it’s also had a libertarian bent that put the focus on innovation -- and not government -- as a tool for social good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds said that mentality has changed. As technology makes inroads into almost every part of our lives, tech companies and workers are being forced to work more closely with government. Still, Bounds said, it would be a mistake to take all this activism as a referendum on the Republican Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have in Donald Trump somebody who most people who work in the valley find totally unacceptable,” Bounds said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds is a Republican, so will he be voting for Donald Trump?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not going to be voting for Donald Trump,” Bounds said. “I will probably write in George H.W. Bush. It reminds me of a time when Republicans stood for thoughtful, hard-working, qualified people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob-LJqPQEJ4&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say there aren’t Trump supporters in Silicon Valley, but they’re not easy to find. Of course, one Trump supporter has been Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Facebook. In late October, Thiel's $1.25 million donation to the Trump campaign was the source of \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/article/11145796/is-silicon-valley-having-a-teachable-moment-about-implicit-bias\" target=\"_blank\">fierce controversy \u003c/a>in the valley. Some accused Thiel of supporting\u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/projectinclude/peter-thiel-yc-and-hard-decisions-2b91bab83764#.yct8iwod8\" target=\"_blank\"> hate speech\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re voting for Trump because we judge the leadership of our country to have failed,” Thiel said in his defense at a press conference this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://www.inc.com/tess-townsend/future-of-ai-at-box.html\" target=\"_blank\">Aaron Levie\u003c/a> thinks a Trump presidency is a threat to the tech industry. Levie is a co-founder and CEO of Box. The Redwood City-based company provides online storage and collaboration tools to companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a given that America will be at the forefront of technology,” said Levie, who also signed the open letter against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we race forward into a digital and information economy, Levie said, Silicon Valley’s success depends on training workers in the U.S. and attracting high-skilled workers from around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which means that we have to have massive reform that we need in our education systems,” he said. “We need massive reform in our immigration process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Levie said policy reform is needed in Washington around big issues confronting the technology sector, like encryption and privacy. He said Hillary Clinton’s policies best address those needs. And how do Clinton’s policies stack up against Trump's?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t get the tech policies from the Trump side, so the outreach of the Trump campaign to the technology industry has been extremely limited to negligible,” Levie said. “So I don’t know how to compare and contrast to his policies. I only know how to compare and contrast to his rhetoric.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he said Trump’s rhetoric hasn’t been reassuring to the tech industry. He cites Trump's idea to ask Bill Gates to help shut down parts of the internet in response to terrorism.

And while Thiel’s stance isn’t winning many supporters in Silicon Valley, it is a sign of how this year people in the tech industry are taking their political engagement to new levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thing I’m most excited about and most hopeful for is that there are folks my age who are getting more politically engaged,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/3037933/the-visible-man\" target=\"_blank\">Tristan Walker\u003c/a>, the founder and CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://walkerandcompany.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Walker & Company Brands\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker is 32 years old and his company sells beauty and health products to people of color. It’s backed by some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley. His office is based in Palo Alto, and in that democratic stronghold it should be no surprise that Walker isn’t just for Hillary Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am vociferously against Donald Trump. Innovation is what makes America great, diversity is what makes America great,” Walker said. “I think he has no clue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker is African-American and has been an outspoken advocate for diversity. He signed a scathing \u003ca href=\"https://shift.newco.co/an-open-letter-from-technology-sector-leaders-on-donald-trumps-candidacy-for-president-5bf734c159e4#.hb80m1ykr\" target=\"_blank\">public letter\u003c/a> calling Trump a “disaster for innovation.” The co-founders of eBay, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and about 140 other folks in the tech industry also signed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So why didn't the tech community pen a similar letter against Mitt Romney in the previous election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about Democrat and Republican this year,” Walker said. “This is a referendum on decency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is also supporting a \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/17/tech-election-day-holiday/\" target=\"_blank\">grass-roots campaign to give tech workers the day off to vote\u003c/a>.

He’s the co-founder of \u003ca href=\"https://sidewire.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Sidewire\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based social network built on texting. But in a previous life, Bounds was a spokesman for U.S. Sen. John McCain during his run for the presidency in 2008. And he worked on Republican \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/09/21/meg-whitman-to-co-host-clinton-campaign-event/\" target=\"_blank\">Meg Whitman\u003c/a>’s campaign for governor of California in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I see in terms of online engagement and activism from people I worked alongside who have no connection to politics,” Bounds said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds said during the last two elections, his colleagues in tech watched the debates and talked about them. But this time around?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are hosting \u003ca href=\"http://www.nerdz4hillary.com/\" target=\"_blank\">fundraisers \u003c/a>that have never hosted fundraisers before,” Bounds said. “I was just talking to a colleague of mine who works at a technology company who was talking about parachuting into Nevada with her daughter to campaign for Hillary Clinton. And these are people that would never have thought about going to a target state to campaign for a president before.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tech companies are getting involved, too. Spotify launched a podcast this election season called \u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/4b5VHDtJiF64Fctww4QrxH\" target=\"_blank\">Clarify\u003c/a>, which is aimed at getting millennials more engaged. And Facebook launched its first \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/09/23/facebook-launches-first-nationwide-voter-registration-drive/90866726/\" target=\"_blank\"> national voter registration\u003c/a> drive this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Silicon Valley is left-leaning, it’s also had a libertarian bent that put the focus on innovation -- and not government -- as a tool for social good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds said that mentality has changed. As technology makes inroads into almost every part of our lives, tech companies and workers are being forced to work more closely with government. Still, Bounds said, it would be a mistake to take all this activism as a referendum on the Republican Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have in Donald Trump somebody who most people who work in the valley find totally unacceptable,” Bounds said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds is a Republican, so will he be voting for Donald Trump?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not going to be voting for Donald Trump,” Bounds said. “I will probably write in George H.W. Bush. It reminds me of a time when Republicans stood for thoughtful, hard-working, qualified people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ob-LJqPQEJ4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ob-LJqPQEJ4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say there aren’t Trump supporters in Silicon Valley, but they’re not easy to find. Of course, one Trump supporter has been Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Facebook. In late October, Thiel's $1.25 million donation to the Trump campaign was the source of \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/article/11145796/is-silicon-valley-having-a-teachable-moment-about-implicit-bias\" target=\"_blank\">fierce controversy \u003c/a>in the valley. Some accused Thiel of supporting\u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/projectinclude/peter-thiel-yc-and-hard-decisions-2b91bab83764#.yct8iwod8\" target=\"_blank\"> hate speech\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re voting for Trump because we judge the leadership of our country to have failed,” Thiel said in his defense at a press conference this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://www.inc.com/tess-townsend/future-of-ai-at-box.html\" target=\"_blank\">Aaron Levie\u003c/a> thinks a Trump presidency is a threat to the tech industry. Levie is a co-founder and CEO of Box. The Redwood City-based company provides online storage and collaboration tools to companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a given that America will be at the forefront of technology,” said Levie, who also signed the open letter against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we race forward into a digital and information economy, Levie said, Silicon Valley’s success depends on training workers in the U.S. and attracting high-skilled workers from around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which means that we have to have massive reform that we need in our education systems,” he said. “We need massive reform in our immigration process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Levie said policy reform is needed in Washington around big issues confronting the technology sector, like encryption and privacy. He said Hillary Clinton’s policies best address those needs. And how do Clinton’s policies stack up against Trump's?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t get the tech policies from the Trump side, so the outreach of the Trump campaign to the technology industry has been extremely limited to negligible,” Levie said. “So I don’t know how to compare and contrast to his policies. I only know how to compare and contrast to his rhetoric.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he said Trump’s rhetoric hasn’t been reassuring to the tech industry. He cites Trump's idea to ask Bill Gates to help shut down parts of the internet in response to terrorism. And Trump has also called for a\u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/19/politics/donald-trump-apple-boycott/\" target=\"_blank\"> boycott of Apple \u003c/a>for refusing to unlock the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump “has shown such naive understanding of technology, it’s hard to even begin,” Levie said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say he discounts Trump supporters. He said this election has exposed the serious challenges American workers face, in part because of technological disruption. Levie's hope? That once the sound and fury of Trump dies down, tech leaders will start working with government to address these concerns, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
