"bio": "Sasha Khokha is the host of \u003cem>The California Report's \u003c/em> weekly magazine program, which takes listeners on sound-rich excursions to meet the people that make the Golden State unique -- through audio documentaries and long-form stories. As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

Both men were considered \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Killed-BART-workers-both-expert-track-engineers-4915156.php\" target=\"_blank\">expert engineers\u003c/a> used to working on the tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A trainee was operating the BART train that day, and an investigation by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2016/09/07/bart-could-face-additional-fines-for-2013-worker-deaths/\" target=\"_blank\">California Public Utilities Commission\u003c/a> found that the operator who was supposed to be supervising the trainee was not in the operating cabin and may have been texting on a cellphone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with the $300,000 settlement with Daniels’ family, the tragedy may cost BART over \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/BART-sued-over-worker-track-death-5485101.php\" target=\"_blank\">$210,000\u003c/a> in fines from California’s worker safety agency \u003ca href=\"http://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/\" target=\"_blank\">Cal/OSHA\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost said that since the accident, BART has implemented many new safety policies.

In April, the city sent 37,000 notices to drivers with the news that they are required to get business licenses because they are independent contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, about 18,000 drivers have registered with the city, while around 12,000 say \"they are no longer driving in SF, already registered, or consider themselves employees (not independent contractors),\" according to the spokeswoman. \u003c/p>\n\n",

That information is not available to the general public, although the company is required to report collisions to the California Public Utilities Commission. CPUC officials were not able to provide collision data for San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spokeswoman would also not say whether the videos were required watching for drivers or if similar videos were being planned around pedestrian safety. CPUC regulations don't require any training for ride-service drivers on bicycle safety, far short of what's required for taxi drivers in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency requires taxi drivers, Muni operators and truck drivers to take a one-hour safety course taught by an instructor from the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. Taxi drivers are also \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfmta.com/services/taxi-industry/become-taxi-driver#3\" target=\"_blank\">required to attend\u003c/a> taxi training school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bike coalition trains about 800 professional drivers a year on how to drive safely around people walking and biking, said coalition spokesman Chris Cassidy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber officials say they are working on and have implemented a number of technology improvements to track driver behavior on the Uber app. They include daily reports to drivers \"on how their driving patterns compare to other drivers in their city -- with suggestions on how to provide a smoother safer ride.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company also sends reminders to drivers to take breaks and has a speed display in the app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber officials won't say how many drivers work in San Francisco, but there are thousands of ride service drivers, according to a spokeswoman for the city treasurer's office. In April, the city sent 37,000 notices to drivers with the news that they are required to get business licenses because they are independent contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, about 18,000 drivers have registered with the city, while around 12,000 say \"they are no longer driving in SF, already registered, or consider themselves employees (not independent contractors),\" according to the spokeswoman. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
