In addition, commercial vehicles generally require commercial insurance, which costs as much as 10 times more than standard personal coverage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the announcement from the DMV tonight, switching course from its earlier position:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>California DMV Director Jean Shiomoto this evening retracted Vehicle Industry News alert VIN 2015-01, which affected ride share operators for companies such as Uber, Lyft and Sidecar and issued the following statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our responsibility is to notify the public of existing state law. In response to inquiries, the department issued an alert earlier this month that reflected the definition of a commercial vehicle under a 1935 law. However, there remains uncertainty about the interaction and effect of this law governing vehicle registration requirements with the more recent regulatory and statutory changes affecting ride share operators. We jumped the gun, and we shouldn’t have. The matter requires further review and analysis which the department is undertaking immediately.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the coming days, the DMV will be meeting with regulators and industry to continue working through this issue.

Neither the CPUC regulations nor the new law stipulated TNC vehicles must be registered as commercial vehicles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I spoke to the DMV earlier today, before the retraction, a spokesman said that stipulation was already on the books, since -- as stated above -- 1935. The DMV said it was merely issuing a clarification for the benefit of an increasing number of drivers and auto dealers who had been confused about the issue. A spokesman for the California Highway Patrol confirmed the commercial registration requirement but said it was impossible to determine if it had ever been enforced because CHP does not track citations for different types of registration violations, but rather lumps them all together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adding fuel to the fire yesterday, Assembly Republican Leader Kristin Olsen (R-Modesto) and Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang (R-Diamond Bar) \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/2015/01/assembly-gop-dmv-uber-commercial-license-plate.html\" target=\"_blank\">threatened\u003c/a> in a letter to the DMV and the CPUC to introduce legislation to amend the law unless the department exempted ride-service drivers from the commercial registration requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, Jan. 26:\u003c/strong> We put in a request to the CPUC for its take on this issue.

It is the TNCs' responsibility to ensure their business model complies with all state laws. Most, if not all, TNCs require drivers to submit vehicle registration, insurance information, and a valid driver's license along with the TNC application, which provides TNCs an opportunity to verify legal registration.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

That money will help fix potholes and redesign streets that are hostile to people biking and walking. Similar measures may eventually go before voters in other Bay Area counties, says Hobson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, no city or county except Alameda has the funding to actually build out a 21st century bike network over the next 10 years or more, says Snyder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Community Process \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting transit and safe streets projects approved, funded and built in the Bay Area can be a big challenge.

That money will help fix potholes and redesign streets that are hostile to people biking and walking. Similar measures may eventually go before voters in other Bay Area counties, says Hobson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, no city or county except Alameda has the funding to actually build out a 21st century bike network over the next 10 years or more, says Snyder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Community Process \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting transit and safe streets projects approved, funded and built in the Bay Area can be a big challenge.

There's only so much space on that road. It's not going to get any bigger, so it's incumbent upon us to use the capacity to the best that we can,\" said MTC spokesman Randy Rentschler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, people in the Bay Area are spending more time in traffic than they were in 2010. MTC defines a \"congested delay\" as time spent in traffic moving at speeds of 35 mph or less. The average commuter spent 2.6 minutes in congestion in 2014, a 37 percent increase over the 1.9 minutes in congestion in 2010. This marks the Bay Area’s highest level of congested delay on a per-commuter basis in at least 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Increased traffic is also a sign of the Bay's booming economy and rising housing prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can certainly see that on Interstate 580 westbound in the morning.

Three of the 10 most congested commutes were in the evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People are coming home in a narrower period of time on the way home, and so it makes that P.M. commute out of San Francisco the No. 1 most congested place in the Bay Area,\" Rentschler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time the MTC conduced a comprehensive study of transit delays was in 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The 10 Most Congested Corridors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>80 East:\u003c/strong> US-101 to east of Treasure Island Tunnel on the Bay Bridge from 1:25 to 8:30 P.M.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>880 South:\u003c/strong> I-238 to Dixon Landing Road from 6:35 to 10:35 A.M.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>101 South:\u003c/strong> Fair Oaks Avenue to 13th Street/Oakland Road from 2:45 to 8:05 P.M.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>80 West:\u003c/strong> West of CA-4 to Powell Street from 6:35 to 10:20 A.M.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>680 North:\u003c/strong> Bollinger Canyon Road to Treat Boulevard from 3:30 to 7 P.M.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>580 West:\u003c/strong> San Joaquin County line to Fallon Road from 5:15 to 9:20 A.M.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>680 North:\u003c/strong> CA-262/Mission Boulevard to CA-84/Calaveras Road from 3 to 7:55 P.M.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>80 East:\u003c/strong> West Grand Avenue to Gilman Street from 3:15 to 7:25 P.M.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>24 East:\u003c/strong> 27th Street to Wilder Road from 3:25 to 7:15 P.M.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>101 North:\u003c/strong> Woodside Road to Hillsdale Boulevard from 3:20 to 7:50 P.M.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://files.mtc.ca.gov/pdf/congestion/top_50_congested_2013.pdf\">View the full list\u003c/a> (pdf)\u003c/p>\n\n",

There's only so much space on that road. It's not going to get any bigger, so it's incumbent upon us to use the capacity to the best that we can,\" said MTC spokesman Randy Rentschler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, people in the Bay Area are spending more time in traffic than they were in 2010. MTC defines a \"congested delay\" as time spent in traffic moving at speeds of 35 mph or less. The average commuter spent 2.6 minutes in congestion in 2014, a 37 percent increase over the 1.9 minutes in congestion in 2010. This marks the Bay Area’s highest level of congested delay on a per-commuter basis in at least 15 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Increased traffic is also a sign of the Bay's booming economy and rising housing prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A Caltrans spokesman told the Marin Independent Journal that the Golden Gate Bridge closure will mean lots of extra vehicles on this alternate route to and from the North Bay. \"We expect it to be as busy as it is during the work week,\" Bob Haus said. \"People should leave extra time to get where they are going.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So Long \"Suicide Lane\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're feeling particularly inconvenienced, know that the bridge is being closed for a good reason: to replace the plastic pylons that now separate northbound and southbound traffic with a movable, 1-foot wide median barrier that bridge officials say will \"virtually eliminate crossover collisions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some locals have grimly dubbed the lanes closest to oncoming traffic the \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Median-Barrier-OKd-for-Golden-Gate-Bridge-3005578.php\" target=\"_blank\">suicide lane\u003c/a>\" because of all the accidents involving vehicles crossing over onto the wrong side of the pylons. The San Francisco Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Movable-median-barrier-coming-to-Golden-Gate-5501070.php\" target=\"_blank\">reported\u003c/a> in May that of the 36 people who have been killed in accidents on the bridge since 1970, 16 died in crossover collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last fatality on the bridge, however, occurred in 2001, and the Golden Gate Bridge Highway & Transportation District says the accident rate has been significantly reduced since the 1980s due to the reduction in speed limit over the bridge to 45 mph, wider driving lanes and increased traffic enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(To hear about the effects of a nonfatal head-on collision on the bridge, listen to Mina Kim's \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/states-of-grace-documents-roller-coaster-healing-process\" target=\"_blank\">interview\u003c/a> earlier this week with Dr. Grace Damman, who survived one with another vehicle driven by someone who fell asleep at the wheel. Damann, who lobbied for the new median, is the subject of the documentary \"\u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/26124168\" target=\"_blank\">States of Grace\u003c/a>.\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The New Barrier\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's how the district describes the new traffic division system that's being put in place:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The barrier will be installed on the 1.7-mile-long Bridge and on the approach portion of Highway 101, north of the Golden Gate Bridge, starting at Alexander Avenue. Using transfer machines, the barrier will be moved several times a day to create more lanes in a particular direction to accommodate variable traffic demands such as the morning and evening commutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new merge will be very different for southbound vehicles. Where drivers currently merge from left to right, the new merge will be from right to left. In addition, the speed limit will be dropped to 45 miles per hour from the current 55 miles per hour on the descent down the Waldo Grade. Lastly, with the installation of the barrier, the two inside lanes will lose 6-inches of width. Getting used to driving next to the barrier may take some adjustment for some drivers, and the District advises motorists to take it slow and get used to the new driving conditions.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The movable media barrier system consists of approximately 13,340 feet of 12-inch-wide and 32-inch-high \"steel-clad units filled with high-density concrete tightly pinned together to form a semi-rigid median barrier,\" the district says, plus two barrier transfer machines, aka zipper trucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The projects will cost about $30.3 million, the district says. About 19 percent of that will come from toll revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's an \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/115360942\" target=\"_blank\">animated video\u003c/a> of what the new configuration will look like:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[vimeo 115360942 w=500 h=281]\u003c/p>\n\n",

A Caltrans spokesman told the Marin Independent Journal that the Golden Gate Bridge closure will mean lots of extra vehicles on this alternate route to and from the North Bay. \"We expect it to be as busy as it is during the work week,\" Bob Haus said. \"People should leave extra time to get where they are going.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So Long \"Suicide Lane\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're feeling particularly inconvenienced, know that the bridge is being closed for a good reason: to replace the plastic pylons that now separate northbound and southbound traffic with a movable, 1-foot wide median barrier that bridge officials say will \"virtually eliminate crossover collisions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some locals have grimly dubbed the lanes closest to oncoming traffic the \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Median-Barrier-OKd-for-Golden-Gate-Bridge-3005578.php\" target=\"_blank\">suicide lane\u003c/a>\" because of all the accidents involving vehicles crossing over onto the wrong side of the pylons. The San Francisco Chronicle \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Movable-median-barrier-coming-to-Golden-Gate-5501070.php\" target=\"_blank\">reported\u003c/a> in May that of the 36 people who have been killed in accidents on the bridge since 1970, 16 died in crossover collisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last fatality on the bridge, however, occurred in 2001, and the Golden Gate Bridge Highway & Transportation District says the accident rate has been significantly reduced since the 1980s due to the reduction in speed limit over the bridge to 45 mph, wider driving lanes and increased traffic enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(To hear about the effects of a nonfatal head-on collision on the bridge, listen to Mina Kim's \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/states-of-grace-documents-roller-coaster-healing-process\" target=\"_blank\">interview\u003c/a> earlier this week with Dr. Grace Damman, who survived one with another vehicle driven by someone who fell asleep at the wheel.

Using transfer machines, the barrier will be moved several times a day to create more lanes in a particular direction to accommodate variable traffic demands such as the morning and evening commutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new merge will be very different for southbound vehicles. Where drivers currently merge from left to right, the new merge will be from right to left. In addition, the speed limit will be dropped to 45 miles per hour from the current 55 miles per hour on the descent down the Waldo Grade. Lastly, with the installation of the barrier, the two inside lanes will lose 6-inches of width. Getting used to driving next to the barrier may take some adjustment for some drivers, and the District advises motorists to take it slow and get used to the new driving conditions.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The movable media barrier system consists of approximately 13,340 feet of 12-inch-wide and 32-inch-high \"steel-clad units filled with high-density concrete tightly pinned together to form a semi-rigid median barrier,\" the district says, plus two barrier transfer machines, aka zipper trucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The projects will cost about $30.3 million, the district says. About 19 percent of that will come from toll revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's an \u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/115360942\" target=\"_blank\">animated video\u003c/a> of what the new configuration will look like:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jerry Brown began his fourth term as governor by acting on a promise to bring a bullet train to California, signing a symbolic piece of railroad track at a groundbreaking ceremony held on an empty lot in downtown Fresno Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown was flanked by construction workers in hard hats and college students who’ve started a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/iwilllridehsr\">Twitter campaign\u003c/a> promoting the bullet train. They were some of the 1,200 guests invited to the groundbreaking, including officials from Japanese National Railways, which has operated its \u003ca href=\"http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2018.html\">Shinkansen\u003c/a> high-speed rail service for half a century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/184934593\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For all the people applauding him and the planned train system, Brown knows there are plenty of critics who would like to derail the plan. He tackled those concerns right off the bat, saying that initially he, too, had doubts about the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\" 'Cause I wasn’t quite sure where the hell are we going to get the rest of the money. But we’re going to get it. Don’t worry about it,” Brown said, as some in the audience chuckled. “We’re going to get it. We’ve overcome a lot of obstacles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those successes include prevailing in lawsuits that sought to stop the rail line and securing one source of funding by tapping into California’s cap-and-trade system for pollution credits. But \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201501070900\">big questions remain\u003c/a> about how to pay for the entire $68 billion project and how long it will take to build.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rail officials say the system won’t be complete until 2030. Brown had an answer for that, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of touch and go,\" he told the crowd. \"Am I going to make it to the end here? I’m going to do everything I can to make sure we get there, 'cause I’ll be 92 in 2030. I’m working out, I’m pumping iron and eating vegetables.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Brown also told the crowd that every big California infrastructure project has had determined opponents, but history proves them wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Golden Gate Bridge was attacked,\" he said. \"BART -- the mayor of Berkeley said that was a complete boondoggle, this thing called BART. Now BART is getting more passengers every year. It’s vital.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ceremony in Fresno featured a parade of federal, state and local officials praising California’s bold approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thanks to high-speed rail, by 2040 vehicles in California will drive 10 million fewer miles every day,” said Gina McCarthy, head of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.epa.gov/\">U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\u003c/a>. “Who wants to drive, anyways? Take a train!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's no accident Brown chose Fresno as the site for the groundbreaking. It’s the one city in the San Joaquin Valley that has actively welcomed the bullet train and its promise of construction jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just across the street from the ceremony, Fresno city planners and rail officials took reporters on a tour of the lot where they plan to build downtown Fresno’s bullet train station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fresno was founded as a railroad town. The Victorian building behind you was the train station site where this town was started, and so we’re hoping this new facility will be the rebirth of a new Fresno,” said city planner \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/plannerdanzack\">Dan Zack,\u003c/a> pointing to a recently demolished building that was once a raisin-packing factory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other counties and cities in the Central Valley have criticized high-speed rail’s impact on farmland and its ballooning price tag. A small but tenacious group of protesters held signs and tried to interrupt the speakers at the ceremony by shouting, \"Show us the money!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sentiment is echoed by critics like \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2013/apr/16/opinion/la-oe-morrison-kopp-20130416\">Quentin Kopp\u003c/a>, former chair of the High-Speed Rail Authority, who says he’s heartbroken that Brown’s current rail plan doesn’t meet the expectations of voters who passed \u003ca href=\"http://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_1A,_High-Speed_Rail_Act_%282008%29#Summary\">the bullet train bond measure\u003c/a> back in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s he breaking ground for?” said Kopp. “It looks like a pure propaganda show. There are so many impediments both in terms of environmental review and in terms of lack of money to complete this first section. I am puzzled why he would go through this charade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not a charade to the bulldozer operators and construction workers who are starting to demolish buildings and move utility lines near Fresno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the bullet train is supposed to be carrying people from San Francisco to Los Angeles. But the plans call for the first trains to run from Merced to Burbank, starting in 2022.\u003c/p>\n\n",

They were some of the 1,200 guests invited to the groundbreaking, including officials from Japanese National Railways, which has operated its \u003ca href=\"http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2018.html\">Shinkansen\u003c/a> high-speed rail service for half a century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/184934593&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/184934593'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For all the people applauding him and the planned train system, Brown knows there are plenty of critics who would like to derail the plan. He tackled those concerns right off the bat, saying that initially he, too, had doubts about the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\" 'Cause I wasn’t quite sure where the hell are we going to get the rest of the money. But we’re going to get it. Don’t worry about it,” Brown said, as some in the audience chuckled. “We’re going to get it. We’ve overcome a lot of obstacles.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201501070900\">big questions remain\u003c/a> about how to pay for the entire $68 billion project and how long it will take to build.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rail officials say the system won’t be complete until 2030. Brown had an answer for that, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of touch and go,\" he told the crowd. \"Am I going to make it to the end here? I’m going to do everything I can to make sure we get there, 'cause I’ll be 92 in 2030. I’m working out, I’m pumping iron and eating vegetables.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Brown also told the crowd that every big California infrastructure project has had determined opponents, but history proves them wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Golden Gate Bridge was attacked,\" he said. \"BART -- the mayor of Berkeley said that was a complete boondoggle, this thing called BART. Now BART is getting more passengers every year. It’s vital.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ceremony in Fresno featured a parade of federal, state and local officials praising California’s bold approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thanks to high-speed rail, by 2040 vehicles in California will drive 10 million fewer miles every day,” said Gina McCarthy, head of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.epa.gov/\">U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\u003c/a>. “Who wants to drive, anyways? Take a train!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's no accident Brown chose Fresno as the site for the groundbreaking. It’s the one city in the San Joaquin Valley that has actively welcomed the bullet train and its promise of construction jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just across the street from the ceremony, Fresno city planners and rail officials took reporters on a tour of the lot where they plan to build downtown Fresno’s bullet train station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fresno was founded as a railroad town. The Victorian building behind you was the train station site where this town was started, and so we’re hoping this new facility will be the rebirth of a new Fresno,” said city planner \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/plannerdanzack\">Dan Zack,\u003c/a> pointing to a recently demolished building that was once a raisin-packing factory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other counties and cities in the Central Valley have criticized high-speed rail’s impact on farmland and its ballooning price tag. A small but tenacious group of protesters held signs and tried to interrupt the speakers at the ceremony by shouting, \"Show us the money!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sentiment is echoed by critics like \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2013/apr/16/opinion/la-oe-morrison-kopp-20130416\">Quentin Kopp\u003c/a>, former chair of the High-Speed Rail Authority, who says he’s heartbroken that Brown’s current rail plan doesn’t meet the expectations of voters who passed \u003ca href=\"http://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_1A,_High-Speed_Rail_Act_%282008%29#Summary\">the bullet train bond measure\u003c/a> back in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What’s he breaking ground for?” said Kopp. “It looks like a pure propaganda show. There are so many impediments both in terms of environmental review and in terms of lack of money to complete this first section. I am puzzled why he would go through this charade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not a charade to the bulldozer operators and construction workers who are starting to demolish buildings and move utility lines near Fresno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the bullet train is supposed to be carrying people from San Francisco to Los Angeles. But the plans call for the first trains to run from Merced to Burbank, starting in 2022.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
