All truck restrictions, including those that banned big rigs carrying flammable cargo, were lifted. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans says daytime traffic along a 1.5-mile stretch between Lamoine and Pollard flat may be limited to one lane while crews continue to repair infrastructure damaged shortly after the fire broke out last week. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office \u003ca href=\"https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/article/6191/47810/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced\u003c/a> that it was lifting some mandatory evacuation orders along I-5. The orders will remain in place for areas adjacent to two freeway off-ramps that remain closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In another milestone of sorts for the blaze, flames advancing on its southwestern edge are close to connecting with the area burned by this summer’s Carr Fire, which consumed 230,000 acres. The Delta fire has already reached the perimeter of another large blaze, the Hirz Fire, which has been burning for a month northeast of Redding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three fires together have burned 330,000 acres — more than 500 square miles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 10:45 a.m. Monday, Sept. 10: \u003c/strong>Interstate 5 between Redding and Mount Shasta has been reopened, but with travel restricted to one lane in each direction for approximately 17 miles, according to Caltrans in a tweet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The highway was shut down from 10 miles north of Redding to about 5 miles south of the town of Mount Shasta last Wednesday after the Delta Fire started in the mountains north of Redding. The blaze has now scorched 47,110 acres and is 5 percent contained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans said last week the agency will spend about $10 million to fix that stretch of the interstate, work that could take weeks to complete and could likely cause future travel delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CaltransD2/status/1039180829186973697\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11:40 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9:\u003c/strong> Fire incident commanders say sunny, warm weather Sunday afternoon allowed the Delta Fire to jump back to life, with the blaze spreading to the south and west.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extent of the newly burned area was unclear as the estimated acreage — just under 41,000 acres — wasn’t updated late Sunday. About 2,400 firefighters are working the blaze, which was declared 5 percent contained after part of its eastern edge burned into the footprint of the nearly month-old Hirz Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the Delta blaze wasn’t as active to the north and northeast, along the Interstate 5 corridor, that key transportation link remains closed into a sixth day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans said in a tweet Sunday afternoon that I-5 will remain closed “until further notice.” The highway is shut down from 10 miles north of Redding to about 5 miles south of the town of Mount Shasta. The principal — and often slow — detour: Highway 299 east from the north end of Redding through Burney, then north and west on Highway 89 to I-5 just outside Mount Shasta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CaltransD2/status/1038889686599532545\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crews worked throughout the weekend to remove burned trees that could pose a hazard to traffic and to repair guardrails, fencing, highway signs and other infrastructure damaged as the fire moved up the freeway starting just before 1 p.m. last Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Repair crews, firefighters and the general public are all coping with dangerously polluted air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point Sunday, the level of fine particulate matter reached the EPA’s “hazardous” level in Redding — a condition in which all people are warned against any type of outdoor activity. The Redding Record Searchlight \u003ca href=\"https://www.redding.com/story/news/2018/09/09/smoke-brings-some-worst-air-nation/1249727002/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported\u003c/a> the particulate reading reached 354, meaning air in the area was the worst in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Continued unhealthy to hazardous air conditions \u003ca href=\"https://tools.airfire.org/outlooks/Shasta-TrinityArea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">are expected\u003c/a> in the area again on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:50 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9:\u003c/strong> There wasn’t as much overnight growth for the Delta Fire, burning north of Redding. The fire grew by just over 300 acres to 40,903 acres, with containment now at 5 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sunday afternoon Caltrans said a stretch of Interstate 5 will remain closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CaltransD2/status/1038889686599532545\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:44 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8:\u003c/strong> The Delta Fire grew overnight to 36,970 acres with zero percent containment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Highway Patrol reiterated Saturday that an approximately 50-mile stretch of Interstate 5 between Redding and Mount Shasta remained closed “to preserve life, property and the safety of all motorists.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/chpredding/videos/276472326300637/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Facebook post\u003c/a>, the CHP also said there is no projected date for reopening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans said Friday that conditions along the highway will be reassessed on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be a public meeting at 6 p.m. today in Lakehead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ShastaTrinityNF/status/1038513365381869568\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7:\u003c/strong> Caltrans says Interstate 5 — the main link between California and the Pacific Northwest — will remain closed through the weekend as the Delta Fire continues to burn near the highway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoke from the fire — added to the output from nearby blazes that have been burning for weeks — forced health advisories and school closures in Redding and nearby communities. Firefighting officials said Friday night the fire has burned across 31,325 acres — 49 square miles — since it started early Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans says the fire is still burning along parts of the interstate and that crews will need to assess damage along the right-of-way — including the presence of thousands of burned trees that could topple into the heavily traveled route.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire “has been jumping back and forth across Interstate 5,” Don Anderson, deputy director for Caltrans District 2, said Friday afternoon. “… What I’ve been telling people is we’re going to take a good, serious look at it on Sunday, just because there’s so much work we have to do in that canyon — and the fire is still active alongside the highway.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson said the agency has identified 3,800 burned trees that need to be removed along the stretch of I-5 where the fire was most intense. He said “a significant number” of those are “hazard trees” alongside the roadway that could pose a threat to traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said workers are already moving up the closed road removing the hazard trees, a job he said they may complete by Sunday. Contract crews will take down burned trees that don’t pose an imminent threat, a process that could take about two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson said Caltrans already has a $10 million contract in place to replace damaged guardrails, culverts and signs and repave parts of the roadway compromised by the fire’s intense heat. That work can take place after the highway reopens, he said, but will require lane closures that could “hamper” traffic through the area for weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://esrimedia.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Minimalist/index.html?appid=ae1e6e1d909d4a73a62d41e61088c430\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans data show that an average of about 40,000 vehicles a day, including roughly 6,000 trucks, use the stretch of I-5 shut down by the fire.

The agency says it also believes the contractor improperly reinstalled parts of the train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The contractor, Shimmick Construction, denies responsibility for the issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The SFMTA has promised \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/projects/twin-peaks-tunnel-improvements-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the $40 million project\u003c/a> would lead to improved service on the K-Ingleside, L-Taraval and M-Ocean View light-rail lines, all of which use the tunnel to get from the Castro to the west side of Twin Peaks. The project, which closed the tunnel for two months, included installing new rails and track ballast (the gravel bed on which rails usually sit) and seismic retrofits to the century-old tunnel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni began advising riders two days after the tunnel reopened on Aug. 25 that some trains were being delayed by “signal issues” at West Portal — the western entrance to the 2-mile bore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on a review of Muni advisories on Twitter, those issues eased after a few days. But daily delays described as “system issues” or “signal issues” began again on Monday, causing major backups in K, L and M service heading toward downtown San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Haley, the SFMTA’s director of transit, said Wednesday the problems were due to missteps by Shimmick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said in an interview that both series of problems involved Muni Metro’s automatic train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Muni’s light-rail vehicles enter the system’s tunnels, including the Twin Peaks Tunnel, they transition from operator control to the automatic system. The train control system includes trackside equipment that identifies each vehicle as it arrives by counting the number of axles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that identification is made as intended — Haley said the process involves a “handshake” between computerized equipment at trackside and aboard each light-rail vehicle — the train is put on automatic control. In the case of the refurbished Twin Peaks Tunnel, the train is cleared to travel to the next station, Forest Hill, at a speed of 50 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said that immediately after the tunnel reopened last month, the automatic train control system was not executing the “handshake” at West Portal. The system’s response is to slow the trains to a crawl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said that the problem, which he described as intermittent but disruptive, involved improperly reinstalled components for the train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could mean the components were relocated in the wrong place, they were buried under track or ballast that was put back down, that kind of thing,” Haley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that SFMTA employees have found that by reducing the automatically set speeds for a 1,000-foot section of eastbound track at West Portal, trains are able to proceed through the area without stopping.

But daily delays described as “system issues” or “signal issues” began again on Monday, causing major backups in K, L and M service heading toward downtown San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Haley, the SFMTA’s director of transit, said Wednesday the problems were due to missteps by Shimmick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said in an interview that both series of problems involved Muni Metro’s automatic train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Muni’s light-rail vehicles enter the system’s tunnels, including the Twin Peaks Tunnel, they transition from operator control to the automatic system. The train control system includes trackside equipment that identifies each vehicle as it arrives by counting the number of axles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that identification is made as intended — Haley said the process involves a “handshake” between computerized equipment at trackside and aboard each light-rail vehicle — the train is put on automatic control. In the case of the refurbished Twin Peaks Tunnel, the train is cleared to travel to the next station, Forest Hill, at a speed of 50 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said that immediately after the tunnel reopened last month, the automatic train control system was not executing the “handshake” at West Portal. The system’s response is to slow the trains to a crawl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said that the problem, which he described as intermittent but disruptive, involved improperly reinstalled components for the train control system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That could mean the components were relocated in the wrong place, they were buried under track or ballast that was put back down, that kind of thing,” Haley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that SFMTA employees have found that by reducing the automatically set speeds for a 1,000-foot section of eastbound track at West Portal, trains are able to proceed through the area without stopping. Once past the affected section of track, trains are able to resume their normal speed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said the second issue was more serious and grew out of previously scheduled construction last Friday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shimmick crews brought heavy equipment into the tunnel through the West Portal entrance, he said, and in the process damaged the train control system’s trackside components.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They had all sorts of heavy equipment vehicles going in, and they damaged the equipment alongside the trackway,” Haley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the components damaged was the system that counts vehicle axles.

During the early morning of March 5, traffic police towed and impounded his black 2005 Mercedes Benz -- for having too many overdue parking tickets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning and there was a guy behind me. And I’m like, ‘What are you doing behind my car?’” Kayode said while standing in the lobby of the Next Door homeless shelter in downtown San Francisco. “He says, ‘I'm just waiting for the tow truck to come get you.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kayode, who now lives at Next Door, his car wasn’t just a place to sleep, it was how he earned a living, he said, delivering food through Uber Eats. He shakes his head in disbelief at where he was, and where he is now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am a homeless guy that worked my way out of homelessness,” Kayode said. “Bought my own car. Now you've taken my car, taken my job and now you're giving me food stamps. It doesn't make sense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is it Unconstitutional to Impound a Car for Unpaid Tickets?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>An estimated half million cars a year in California are impounded, unclaimed and sold, according to Jude Pond of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights in San Francisco. He said many of those cars belonged to poor people living in them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pond helped file a lawsuit on Kayode's behalf to challenge the California law that allows cities to tow a car away if that car has five or more overdue parking tickets. Many cities follow that policy, and Pond said it’s unconstitutional in several ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government should not be allowed to take someone’s property without any notice and without a warrant, he said. That’s doubly true because these vehicles weren’t used in a crime, but were towed simply for financial reasons -- just to collect fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It makes absolutely no sense to take a homeless person's car, confiscating it, impounding it. If you take away their car, they’re going to be on the street. That’s not a benefit to society. Common sense has to be in play.'\u003ccite>Zev Yaroslavsky, UCLA\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Cities do not issue warnings, outside of the fine print on a parking ticket, that they’re coming to impound a vehicle. Parking officers just show up and take it away. And in the case of the homeless who live in their cars, city officials are taking their temporary home from them, which raises the stakes above the taking of a vehicle, Pond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re hoping that this case sets the precedent that the city should not take people’s only asset -- in this case their car -- for the purpose of satisfying a debt, based on just outstanding parking tickets,\" Pond said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, officers towing a car with a homeless occupant will contact the police department and social services to help that person get services, according to Paul Rose, spokesman for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, who responded by email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be times when the [Homeless Outreach Team] will not be available to respond. If there is no urgency regarding the towing of the vehicle we will make an effort to delay the tow to allow services to respond,” Rose said. “We cannot completely avoid the removal of the vehicle as this would create an unintended exemption for vehicles that are in violation of city or state law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689591\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/KayodeSmoking-800x590.jpg\" alt=\"Sean Kayode, outside the Next Door homeless shelter in San Francisco on July 26, 2018.

Because losing those cars to impoundment can mean the loss of work and home, it can be a tipping point into a life on the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For many people, having their car towed for overdue parking tickets is a major annoyance and life disruption. But for homeless people, it’s a permanent loss, because most of them cannot afford to recover their cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The costs escalate quickly. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Offenders must reimburse the tow charge, roughly $500. They also need to pay off their original tickets and the accrued fines on those tickets, which can be $1,000 or more.

During the early morning of March 5, traffic police towed and impounded his black 2005 Mercedes Benz -- for having too many overdue parking tickets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wake up at 3 o’clock in the morning and there was a guy behind me. And I’m like, ‘What are you doing behind my car?’” Kayode said while standing in the lobby of the Next Door homeless shelter in downtown San Francisco. “He says, ‘I'm just waiting for the tow truck to come get you.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kayode, who now lives at Next Door, his car wasn’t just a place to sleep, it was how he earned a living, he said, delivering food through Uber Eats. He shakes his head in disbelief at where he was, and where he is now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am a homeless guy that worked my way out of homelessness,” Kayode said. “Bought my own car.

Many cities follow that policy, and Pond said it’s unconstitutional in several ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government should not be allowed to take someone’s property without any notice and without a warrant, he said.

If there is no urgency regarding the towing of the vehicle we will make an effort to delay the tow to allow services to respond,” Rose said. “We cannot completely avoid the removal of the vehicle as this would create an unintended exemption for vehicles that are in violation of city or state law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689591\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/KayodeSmoking-800x590.jpg\" alt=\"Sean Kayode, outside the Next Door homeless shelter in San Francisco on July 26, 2018.

"content": "\u003cp>While housing costs in California have skyrocketed, what is often the second biggest expense for a household is commonly overlooked and is contributing to the surge in homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anti-poverty advocates have called for measures to provide low-income residents more assistance with transportation costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Access to reliable transportation is crucial to maintaining stable employment, reaching educational opportunities, caring for family and staying healthy, they said. But there is no consistent safety net to help struggling people meet that need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2015 \u003ca href=\"http://www.equality-of-opportunity.org/images/nbhds_exec_summary.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">study\u003c/a> by Harvard University found access to transportation is the single biggest factor in the odds of escaping poverty and avoiding homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are so many people that just cannot make ends meet before you even get to the concept of transportation,\" said Veronica Lewis, a director at Homeless Outreach Programs Integrated System, or HOPICS, one of the largest homeless service providers in Los Angeles. \"Honestly, it's one of the biggest barriers for some of our clients.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That includes Oscar Ramos, formerly homeless, for whom HOPICS has recently secured temporary housing at a hotel in Long Beach. Ramos is in the process of documenting medical issues and applying for Social Security benefits, so he has regular appointments he needs to get to in downtown Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The journey from his new housing in Long Beach will take more than an hour on a train and a bus with walking in between. HOPICS provides Ramos with transit tokens as a form of temporary relief, but without the emergency assistance he has few options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I walk,\" he said. \"I've got some new shoes and the heels are already messed up from walking so much.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Costs Quickly Add Up\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A $1.75 L.A. Metro ticket doesn't sound like much, but taking multiple trips a day adds up quickly. A monthly pass might save Ramos money, but at $76, it would eat up a third of the assistance he gets to cover his monthly expenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we don't figure out a way to increase people's access, reduce the burden of taking care of their business, getting to and fro, the problem will continue to get worse,\" Lewis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HOPICS cobbles together transportation support from a patchwork of public subsidies, but it's not enough. The nonprofit draws on its general budget to buy extra Metro tokens and run a fleet of vans, using funds it gets through foundations, the city and county that could otherwise be put to services like housing, health care and job training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis wants to see more coordinated efforts to strengthen the transportation safety net, not only for people like Ramos, but for low-income communities before they fall into homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seattle Is Working on a Solution\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many advocates point to a program in the Seattle area as a model for such an approach. It's the first big city in the country to try a simple idea: Charge low-income people less to use transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We knew that there is a population that can't afford to use public transportation, and that it's a very vulnerable population that we wanted to make sure we reached,\" said Christina O'Claire, a manager with King County Metro Transit, which runs the \u003ca href=\"https://kingcounty.gov/depts/transportation/metro/fares-orca/orca-cards/lift.aspx\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ORCA LIFT\u003c/a> low-income discount program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds obvious, but what King County has done is pretty unique: They cut the base fares for single rides and passes on all forms of transit in the county by about half, and partnered with other social service agencies to enroll people when they pick up food stamps or go to the doctor. So far they've signed up about 70,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, many transit agencies offer discounts to students, seniors or the disabled, but there are very few programs for low-income people who don't fit into those groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some exceptions, though none as comprehensive or deeply discounted as Seattle's. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority offers about a 20 percent discount on its monthly pass and is working on allowing users to pay in weekly installments, instead of $76 on the first of the month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency offers steeply discounted bus passes for $38 a month. In coming months, three more Bay Area transit agencies will join a \u003ca href=\"https://blog.bayareametro.gov/posts/523-mtc-meeting-wrap-commission-offers-support-proposed-bart-tod-policy-approves-pilot-program\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pilot program\u003c/a> with at least 20 percent off fares on Bay Area Rapid Transit, Caltrain and Golden Gate Transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Helping With Fares Isn't the Only Answer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But simply addressing the dollar cost might not be enough to really help low-income people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They also need something that can work for them in terms of time cost,\" said Marlon Boarnet, chair of the urban planning department at the University of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Boarnet co-authored a \u003ca href=\"https://priceschool.usc.edu/how-transit-affects-job-seekers-first-and-last-mile-to-the-station-make-all-the-difference/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">study\u003c/a> of how different modes of transportation affect access to jobs by low-income workers in San Diego County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We found transit is not nearly as good at connecting people to the labor market as cars,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drivers had access to 30 times the number of jobs within a half-hour commute compared to those who relied on public transportation. The time disparity is particularly fraught for low-wage workers who may have odd hours, work overnight and can often be docked pay or fired for being late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the cost of owning a vehicle can be prohibitive. One s\u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/report/R_704LRR.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tudy\u003c/a> from the Public Policy Institute of California found low-income people in the San Francisco Bay Area spent about 10 times as much on transportation if they drove compared to taking transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Boarnet found that simply shortening the time it takes people get to transit stops could improve people's job access considerably. It would be the equivalent of adding 25 percent more buses and trains throughout the public transit system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What could help make transit a better job access tool? One answer is dockless bikes, e-bikes and scooters,\" Boarnet said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Casting a Broader Safety Net\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes emerging technologies can offer big benefits to low-income people who can't afford cars.

Ramos is in the process of documenting medical issues and applying for Social Security benefits, so he has regular appointments he needs to get to in downtown Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The journey from his new housing in Long Beach will take more than an hour on a train and a bus with walking in between. HOPICS provides Ramos with transit tokens as a form of temporary relief, but without the emergency assistance he has few options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I walk,\" he said. \"I've got some new shoes and the heels are already messed up from walking so much.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Costs Quickly Add Up\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A $1.75 L.A. Metro ticket doesn't sound like much, but taking multiple trips a day adds up quickly. A monthly pass might save Ramos money, but at $76, it would eat up a third of the assistance he gets to cover his monthly expenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we don't figure out a way to increase people's access, reduce the burden of taking care of their business, getting to and fro, the problem will continue to get worse,\" Lewis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HOPICS cobbles together transportation support from a patchwork of public subsidies, but it's not enough. The nonprofit draws on its general budget to buy extra Metro tokens and run a fleet of vans, using funds it gets through foundations, the city and county that could otherwise be put to services like housing, health care and job training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lewis wants to see more coordinated efforts to strengthen the transportation safety net, not only for people like Ramos, but for low-income communities before they fall into homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seattle Is Working on a Solution\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many advocates point to a program in the Seattle area as a model for such an approach. It's the first big city in the country to try a simple idea: Charge low-income people less to use transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We knew that there is a population that can't afford to use public transportation, and that it's a very vulnerable population that we wanted to make sure we reached,\" said Christina O'Claire, a manager with King County Metro Transit, which runs the \u003ca href=\"https://kingcounty.gov/depts/transportation/metro/fares-orca/orca-cards/lift.aspx\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ORCA LIFT\u003c/a> low-income discount program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It sounds obvious, but what King County has done is pretty unique: They cut the base fares for single rides and passes on all forms of transit in the county by about half, and partnered with other social service agencies to enroll people when they pick up food stamps or go to the doctor. So far they've signed up about 70,000 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, many transit agencies offer discounts to students, seniors or the disabled, but there are very few programs for low-income people who don't fit into those groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are some exceptions, though none as comprehensive or deeply discounted as Seattle's. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority offers about a 20 percent discount on its monthly pass and is working on allowing users to pay in weekly installments, instead of $76 on the first of the month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency offers steeply discounted bus passes for $38 a month. In coming months, three more Bay Area transit agencies will join a \u003ca href=\"https://blog.bayareametro.gov/posts/523-mtc-meeting-wrap-commission-offers-support-proposed-bart-tod-policy-approves-pilot-program\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pilot program\u003c/a> with at least 20 percent off fares on Bay Area Rapid Transit, Caltrain and Golden Gate Transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Helping With Fares Isn't the Only Answer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But simply addressing the dollar cost might not be enough to really help low-income people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They also need something that can work for them in terms of time cost,\" said Marlon Boarnet, chair of the urban planning department at the University of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Boarnet co-authored a \u003ca href=\"https://priceschool.usc.edu/how-transit-affects-job-seekers-first-and-last-mile-to-the-station-make-all-the-difference/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">study\u003c/a> of how different modes of transportation affect access to jobs by low-income workers in San Diego County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We found transit is not nearly as good at connecting people to the labor market as cars,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drivers had access to 30 times the number of jobs within a half-hour commute compared to those who relied on public transportation. The time disparity is particularly fraught for low-wage workers who may have odd hours, work overnight and can often be docked pay or fired for being late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the cost of owning a vehicle can be prohibitive. One s\u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/report/R_704LRR.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tudy\u003c/a> from the Public Policy Institute of California found low-income people in the San Francisco Bay Area spent about 10 times as much on transportation if they drove compared to taking transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Boarnet found that simply shortening the time it takes people get to transit stops could improve people's job access considerably. It would be the equivalent of adding 25 percent more buses and trains throughout the public transit system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What could help make transit a better job access tool? One answer is dockless bikes, e-bikes and scooters,\" Boarnet said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Casting a Broader Safety Net\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes emerging technologies can offer big benefits to low-income people who can't afford cars. But he said it's up to policymakers to ensure the services are accessible to people who need them most, like Oscar Ramos, who doesn't have a phone or a credit card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boarnet said the transportation safety net may need to be broader to include solutions to banking, smartphones and subsidies for the many private services that are filling gaps in the transportation network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no one size fits all,\" said Lewis at HOPICS. \"The people that come into our office have all kinds of stories and experiences and needs, so we have to be able to do all those things.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The organization was able to give Ramos a van ride to his new housing in Long Beach.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated 7:50 a.m. Wednesday\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Assembly has passed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2923\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AB 2923\u003c/a>, a fiercely debated measure that gives BART the authority to set zoning standards and approve development on agency-owned property throughout the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By a vote of 44-25 late Tuesday afternoon, the bill by Assemblymember David Chiu, D-San Francisco, now goes to Gov. Jerry Brown for his signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the measure, BART's own \u003ca href=\"https://www.bart.gov/about/business/tod/guidelines\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">transit-oriented development guidelines\u003c/a> would govern residential and mixed-used projects on property the agency currently owns within a half-mile of station entrances. Most of that property is used for parking. The bill would affect an estimated 250 acres in all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill gives the BART board until July 2020 to formally adopt its guidelines. The affected cities would be required to bring their own zoning laws into compliance with the BART standards or allow the agency's rules to govern development on its property. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the key amendments from the original legislation is one that limits the height of the BART developments to one story or 15 feet above the current maximum height limits within half a mile. AB 2923 contains a sunset provision under which it would expire in 2029. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Assembly vote, which was to approve the amended form of the bill passed by the state Senate last week, was preceded by a series of sharply divergent pleas: on one side, that the state needs to act urgently to relieve the housing crisis in the Bay Area and beyond; on the other, that Chiu's measure usurps local control guaranteed by the state Constitution and hands authority to an agency that has shown it's not fit to exercise it. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4>How They Voted: AB 2923\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>How Bay Area members of the Assembly voted on bill to give zoning authority to BART:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Aye:\u003c/strong> Berman, Bonta, Chiu, Chu, Grayson, Kalra, Low, Mullin, Thurmond, Ting, Wood.\u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>No:\u003c/strong> Baker, Frazier, Levine\u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Not voting:\u003c/strong> Aguilar-Curry, Quirk\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Democrat Jim Frazier of Oakley and Republican Catherine Baker of Dublin both argued that BART has encountered few obstacles in getting cities to cooperate with development plans in their district and that in fact many cities they represent have done more than their share to meet state-mandated housing goals. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They both attacked BART in urging a no vote on the bill. Frazier pointed to what he called poor planning by the transit agency in preparing for ridership at its newly opened, and popular, Antioch station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite \"the best local advice and statistics,\" Frazier said, \"BART's new station was opened without providing adequate parking or adequate public safety for the volume of riders we knew we would see but that they ignored.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker told colleagues that \"BART is drowning in its own problems\" and shouldn't be entrusted with more responsibility for housing development. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let me tell you a little bit about the agency to which a yes vote will give control over housing,\" she said. \"Right now, BART is in the headlines for stabbings, for crimes -- they have a crime crisis.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That drew an objection from Assemblymember Tony Thurmond, D-Richmond, who asked the chair to direct her comments to the merits of the bill. The chair declined, and Baker continued with a litany of the agency's woes, including maintenance, delays in getting its new cars into service and widespread fare evasion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But rebutting that view were members Tim Grayson, a Democratic former mayor of Concord, and Rob Bonta, D-Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t have to like BART or feel good on BART to understand that this state is facing a housing crisis,\" Grayson said. He added that while serving as a local official, he worked alongside BART when the agency sought to make capital improvements at its downtown Concord station. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They could easily have come up with their own plans and rammed it through,\" Grayson said. \"But instead, they reached out, they collaborated, they sought for advice and input from our City Council.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta, pointing to a transit-oriented development at BART's Fruitvale station that has taken nearly 25 years to complete, said AB 2923 was needed to streamline housing construction. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen some great communities built around BART stations in my district, but it takes too long,\" Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 2923 won wide support from planning, transportation and pro-development groups, who were joined by conservation-oriented organizations like Greenbelt Alliance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some 17 Bay Area cities registered opposition to the bill, as did the League of California Cities. \u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown for his signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the measure, BART's own \u003ca href=\"https://www.bart.gov/about/business/tod/guidelines\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">transit-oriented development guidelines\u003c/a> would govern residential and mixed-used projects on property the agency currently owns within a half-mile of station entrances. Most of that property is used for parking. The bill would affect an estimated 250 acres in all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill gives the BART board until July 2020 to formally adopt its guidelines. The affected cities would be required to bring their own zoning laws into compliance with the BART standards or allow the agency's rules to govern development on its property. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

AB 2923 contains a sunset provision under which it would expire in 2029. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Assembly vote, which was to approve the amended form of the bill passed by the state Senate last week, was preceded by a series of sharply divergent pleas: on one side, that the state needs to act urgently to relieve the housing crisis in the Bay Area and beyond; on the other, that Chiu's measure usurps local control guaranteed by the state Constitution and hands authority to an agency that has shown it's not fit to exercise it. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4>How They Voted: AB 2923\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>How Bay Area members of the Assembly voted on bill to give zoning authority to BART:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Aye:\u003c/strong> Berman, Bonta, Chiu, Chu, Grayson, Kalra, Low, Mullin, Thurmond, Ting, Wood.\u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>No:\u003c/strong> Baker, Frazier, Levine\u003cbr>\n \u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Not voting:\u003c/strong> Aguilar-Curry, Quirk\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Democrat Jim Frazier of Oakley and Republican Catherine Baker of Dublin both argued that BART has encountered few obstacles in getting cities to cooperate with development plans in their district and that in fact many cities they represent have done more than their share to meet state-mandated housing goals. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They both attacked BART in urging a no vote on the bill. Frazier pointed to what he called poor planning by the transit agency in preparing for ridership at its newly opened, and popular, Antioch station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite \"the best local advice and statistics,\" Frazier said, \"BART's new station was opened without providing adequate parking or adequate public safety for the volume of riders we knew we would see but that they ignored.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker told colleagues that \"BART is drowning in its own problems\" and shouldn't be entrusted with more responsibility for housing development. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Let me tell you a little bit about the agency to which a yes vote will give control over housing,\" she said. \"Right now, BART is in the headlines for stabbings, for crimes -- they have a crime crisis.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That drew an objection from Assemblymember Tony Thurmond, D-Richmond, who asked the chair to direct her comments to the merits of the bill. The chair declined, and Baker continued with a litany of the agency's woes, including maintenance, delays in getting its new cars into service and widespread fare evasion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But rebutting that view were members Tim Grayson, a Democratic former mayor of Concord, and Rob Bonta, D-Alameda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t have to like BART or feel good on BART to understand that this state is facing a housing crisis,\" Grayson said. He added that while serving as a local official, he worked alongside BART when the agency sought to make capital improvements at its downtown Concord station. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They could easily have come up with their own plans and rammed it through,\" Grayson said. \"But instead, they reached out, they collaborated, they sought for advice and input from our City Council.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta, pointing to a transit-oriented development at BART's Fruitvale station that has taken nearly 25 years to complete, said AB 2923 was needed to streamline housing construction. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve seen some great communities built around BART stations in my district, but it takes too long,\" Bonta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 2923 won wide support from planning, transportation and pro-development groups, who were joined by conservation-oriented organizations like Greenbelt Alliance. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some 17 Bay Area cities registered opposition to the bill, as did the League of California Cities. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
