His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>BART General Manager Robert Powers took on a job earlier this year leading a transit agency that’s both crucial to the Bay Area and often the source of deep frustration for many riders. One of his first moves was to go out and meet his customers face to face and hear what they have to say. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To do that, Powers launched a \"listening tour\" to talk to riders in each of the system's 48 stations. He's visited nearly two dozen so far, and he's scheduled to be at San Francisco's 16th Street Station between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11787486,news_11785824,news_11786100,news_11785505,news_11720656\" label=\"BART: Recent KQED Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surprisingly — or at least surprising if you're a) a regular BART rider and/or b) familiar with the litany of complaints and concerns that BART patrons often voice on social media about the system's cleanliness, packed trains, late runs, fare evasion, homeless riders and public safety worries — Powers says much of what he hears during his tour has been \"soul-uplifting.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When I talk to the riders, there is an emotional connection between them and BART,\" Powers said during a recent visit to the Embarcadero Station in downtown San Francisco. \"They very much depend on BART, they understand how important BART is to the Bay Area and their quality of life, and they generally want BART to be successful.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers, a University of Illinois-trained civil engineer who joined BART in 2012 as assistant general manager for planning development and construction, was appointed to succeed now-retired GM Grace Crunican in July. He says he undertook the listening tour because he wanted \"no filter\" between him and the riding public. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt I had to get out and listen to the concerns that our riders had and hear from them directly without anyone in between me and them,\" Powers said. \"... I don't want anybody's staff, I don't want anybody writing it up. I want somebody to look me in the eye and tell me their concerns about BART. What's working and what's not working.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on his Embarcadero visit, Powers had little trouble getting customers to tell him what they thought. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One, Jeff Calabrese, brought up a couple of familiar issues. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ve had a number of incidents — I’ve been riding BART for 15 years now — a number of incidents, some where the police never showed up, and San Francisco police have had to come and jump in,\" he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Calabrese wasn't finished. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The amount of homeless who sleep on BART is just out of control,\" he said. \"I've gone into a car and three-quarters of the car — not kidding — has been full of homeless people.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers assured Calabrese that BART takes the issue of homeless residents seriously and has taken steps — which include partnering with local governments and social service agencies — to try to address it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know homeless is much bigger than BART, but we’ve got to be part of the solution,\" Powers added. \"And the police presence, I agree. We need to get more police presence in the system. Not necessarily only police — they could be community service officers or ambassadors walking the system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, Powers ventured to approach a group of women chatting on the Embarcadero platform. After introducing himself, he asked, \"How are we doing with cleanliness?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I never would have chosen upholstered seats,\" one woman volunteered, prompting laughter from her companions. She was referring to BART's old-style seats, which \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/06/us/06bcseats.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">lab tests sponsored by a Bay Area news outlet\u003c/a> found to be swarming with bacteria. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We got rid of all those!\" Powers said, reminding the group that BART ditched the upholstery for vinyl-covered seats after the lab results were published.. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, one woman said, \"You could do better!\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers acknowledges he's getting an earful from patrons, whose comments typically touch on at least one of three major areas: unhappiness with fare evasion and homelessness on the system; the desire to speed up introduction of BART's new Fleet of the Future cars to ease crowding; and the need for what he calls \"an additional presence in the system\" to enhance riders' sense of security. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers is careful to say, as he was in talking to riders like Calabrese, that he's not necessarily talking about sworn police officers. The BART Police Department has been chronically understaffed, a situation that has started to change this year with a concerted hiring drive and approval of funds to expand the force, which has had an authorized strength of 225 sworn officers, by 19 positions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers says the \"additional presence\" he's talking about could come in the form of \"an ambassador type of person.\" He envisions uniformed, radio-equipped teams of two or three people who would be \"walking the system, making eye contact, just talking to people.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Boy that would go a long way when I talk to riders about their perception of safety, especially on nights and weekends,\" Powers said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The general manager says he intends for his tour to yield action on customers' concerns. He says BART will create an online page to track the agency's response to the themes he's hearing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers describes the page \"as somewhere people can see their voices are being heard and action is being taken.\" He'll feel the tour has been a success, he says, if a year from now he's hearing from customers that \"BART listened, and we took action.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers has scheduled listening tour stops at nine stations next month:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jan. 8:\u003c/strong> Glen Park (8 a.m.-9 a.m.); El Cerrito Plaza (3:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jan. 15:\u003c/strong> South Hayward (8 a.m.-9 a.m.); Ashby/Ed Roberts Campus, 3075 Adeline St., Berkeley (3:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m.).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jan. 22: \u003c/strong> Antioch (5 a.m.-6 a.m.); Pittsburg Center (6:45 a.m.-7:45 a.m.); Pittsburg/Bay Point E-BART transfer platform (8 a.m.-8:30 a.m.).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Jan. 29:\u003c/strong> Castro Valley (8 a.m.-9 a.m.); Balboa Park (3 p.m.-4 p.m.).\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Schedule is subject to change.

Under federal \u003ca href=\"https://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ADA regulations\u003c/a>, the No. 1 requirement for miniature horses working as service animals is that they be housebroken.

They immediately drew the attention of both BART employees and patrons, whom Gilliam says were overwhelmingly curious and friendly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leg one of the trip was from Rockridge to Montgomery Station in downtown San Francisco. After doing an errand there, Gilliam, Sweets and friend strolled down Market Street to BART’s Embarcadero Station for the ride back to Oakland. Back at Rockridge, Sweets tried something new, leaving the station via the down escalator. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trip wasn’t problem-free. Under federal \u003ca href=\"https://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ADA regulations\u003c/a>, the No. 1 requirement for miniature horses working as service animals is that they be housebroken. And Sweets didn’t pass that test Tuesday, defecating on both train trips and peeing while riding on a BART elevator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11785504\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f-800x607.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"607\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11785504\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f-800x607.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f-160x121.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f-1020x774.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f-1200x911.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/bartpony191106f.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vanessa Gilliam and Sweets, the rescued miniature horse she’s been training for work as a service animal.

You have the power to stop this right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, seven weeks after his first presentation, Granat appeared before the board again, presenting a picture of what he called “the dramatic gap” between D cars positioned in the middle of a train.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The quick fix the union has suggested — and that Granat reiterated Thursday — is for BART to use the D cars only on the ends of trains, at least until the agency can explore the issue and whether there are safety workarounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a non-engineering solution, which is just to use D cars as end cars and E cars as pass-through cars until we have all that in place,” Granat told the board. “Otherwise, what I think we’re really doing is testing equipment with passengers on board. I don’t think anyone here should feel comfortable with that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At July’s meeting, board member Mark Foley, joined by directors Rebecca Saltzman and Debora Allen, made a formal request for a staff report on the issue.
