According to the city, the gift is \"one of the largest private contributions towards direct city services in San Francisco history.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The program, which started as a 16-month pilot project March 1, 2013, currently allows more than 31,000 qualifying low- and moderate-income youth between 5 and 17 years old to ride San Francisco Municipal Railway buses and light-rail vehicles at no cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the Google announcement, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's board of directors had been considering \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/02/12/transit-officials-consider-free-muni-for-seniors-and-people-with-disabilities/\">whether to renew or possibly expand\u003c/a> the program to include seniors and people with disabilities, as well as 18-year-old youths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"With this unprecedented gift from Google, we can keep this successful pilot program running for at least two more years at no cost to taxpayers or Muni riders, and free up critical funds for other vital Muni maintenance and services,\" Mayor Lee said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Google is demonstrating with real action and real resources that they are a true partner in addressing our city's affordability crisis for lower and middle-income families,\" Lee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mountain View-based Google and other local technology companies have come under criticism recently because of concerns over gentrification and rising costs of living in San Francisco, as well as for problems related to the companies' commuter buses that could soon begin using Muni bus stops for a small fee charged by the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activists have \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/21/yet-another-protest-against-tech-buses/\">blocked the tech buses \u003c/a>on several occasions in and around the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor David Campos, an initial advocate for the Free Muni for Youth program and one of the critics of the so-called Google buses, said in a statement that the company's donation is \"a good first step.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need further collaboration to support more community-driven solutions to the displacement crisis,” Campos stated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campos said, \"I'm looking forward to working with the tech industry in the future on other important issues like housing, jobs and tenant protections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the city, \"Preliminary data shows that \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmta.com/getting-around/transit/fares-passes/free-muni-youth\">Free Muni for Low Income Youth\u003c/a> has had a positive impact on San Francisco’s transportation network. Clipper Card data shows 266,000 more rides by youth Muni riders in May 2013 than in May 2012. Approximately 45 percent of Free Muni for Low Income Youth participants plan to ride public transportation as an adult, while 70 percent would recommend Muni to their friends, according to the San Francisco Unified School District Student Survey results.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Free Muni for All?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED's Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong> spoke with Tommy, a local activist who has been involved in recent Google bus protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's certainly a good thing because I think the program to make Muni free for youth who are low-income is a good thing, but it's only a beginning,\" said Tommy. \"I would like to see Google and other companies that are using our bus stops chip in enough money to make Muni free for everybody. Because why shouldn't we all benefit from this big economic boom that's happening in this city?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We certainly have to be inconvenienced by these buses being in the stops and tying up Muni buses, so why shouldn't we all benefit? So, I would say it's good. But let's make our Muni totally free. I think we can aim higher. I think the other companies should be involved as well. I think Google and all the other companies that use the bus stops for their buses could certainly chip in enough or donate enough to make Muni free.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin also interviewed Jessica Lehman, executive director of Senior and Disability Action on Google bus funding for low income youth:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there's a bigger question of what are they doing to support a public system in a city that they are working in and benefiting from. There's a reason that there have been all of these actions on Google buses. It's a question of what kind of city do we want and who do we want to have access to services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The next step is free Muni for seniors and people with disabilities. Especially at a time right now when rents are skyrocketing and people are living on Social Security income or are low-income from any number of sources … where it's really hard for people to choose between paying rent, paying for food and medicine and transportation.

Because why shouldn't we all benefit from this big economic boom that's happening in this city?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We certainly have to be inconvenienced by these buses being in the stops and tying up Muni buses, so why shouldn't we all benefit? So, I would say it's good. But let's make our Muni totally free. I think we can aim higher. I think the other companies should be involved as well. I think Google and all the other companies that use the bus stops for their buses could certainly chip in enough or donate enough to make Muni free.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin also interviewed Jessica Lehman, executive director of Senior and Disability Action on Google bus funding for low income youth:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think there's a bigger question of what are they doing to support a public system in a city that they are working in and benefiting from. There's a reason that there have been all of these actions on Google buses. It's a question of what kind of city do we want and who do we want to have access to services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The next step is free Muni for seniors and people with disabilities. Especially at a time right now when rents are skyrocketing and people are living on Social Security income or are low-income from any number of sources … where it's really hard for people to choose between paying rent, paying for food and medicine and transportation.

The effort involves AOL, Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter and Yahoo. The companies are responding to revelations about NSA spying touched off in June by former agency contractor \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/09/edward-snowden-voted-guardian-person-of-year-2013\" target=\"_blank\">Edward Snowden\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The five principles the companies are campaigning for:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Limiting governments' authority to collect users' information: \u003c/strong>Governments should codify sensible limitations on their ability to compel service providers to disclose user data that balance their need for the data in limited circumstances, users’ reasonable privacy interests, and the impact on trust in the Internet. In addition, governments should limit surveillance to specific, known users for lawful purposes, and should not undertake bulk data collection of Internet communications.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Oversight and accountability:\u003c/strong> Intelligence agencies seeking to collect or compel the production of information should do so under a clear legal framework in which executive powers are subject to strong checks and balances. Reviewing courts should be independent and include an adversarial process, and governments should allow important rulings of law to be made public in a timely manner so that the courts are accountable to an informed citizenry.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Transparency about government demands:\u003c/strong> Transparency is essential to a debate over governments’ surveillance powers and the scope of programs that are administered under those powers. Governments should allow companies to publish the number and nature of government demands for user information. In addition, governments should also promptly disclose this data publicly.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Respecting the free flow of information:\u003c/strong> The ability of data to flow or be accessed across borders is essential to a robust 21st century global economy.

(Paul. J. Richards/AFP-Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Eight firms that handle massive amounts of Americans' personal data and communications have launched a campaign to pressure the U.S. government to rein in its surveillance efforts after more than \u003ca href=\"http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/multimedia/timeline-edward-snowden-revelations.html\" target=\"_blank\">six months of disclosures\u003c/a> about far-reaching National Security Agency spying programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign, called \u003ca href=\"http://reformgovernmentsurveillance.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Reform Government Surveillance\u003c/a>, calls on governments around the world to adopt five principles to narrow spying on citizens. The effort involves AOL, Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter and Yahoo. The companies are responding to revelations about NSA spying touched off in June by former agency contractor \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/09/edward-snowden-voted-guardian-person-of-year-2013\" target=\"_blank\">Edward Snowden\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The five principles the companies are campaigning for:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Limiting governments' authority to collect users' information: \u003c/strong>Governments should codify sensible limitations on their ability to compel service providers to disclose user data that balance their need for the data in limited circumstances, users’ reasonable privacy interests, and the impact on trust in the Internet. In addition, governments should limit surveillance to specific, known users for lawful purposes, and should not undertake bulk data collection of Internet communications.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Oversight and accountability:\u003c/strong> Intelligence agencies seeking to collect or compel the production of information should do so under a clear legal framework in which executive powers are subject to strong checks and balances. Reviewing courts should be independent and include an adversarial process, and governments should allow important rulings of law to be made public in a timely manner so that the courts are accountable to an informed citizenry.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Transparency about government demands:\u003c/strong> Transparency is essential to a debate over governments’ surveillance powers and the scope of programs that are administered under those powers. Governments should allow companies to publish the number and nature of government demands for user information. In addition, governments should also promptly disclose this data publicly.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Respecting the free flow of information:\u003c/strong> The ability of data to flow or be accessed across borders is essential to a robust 21st century global economy. Governments should permit the transfer of data and should not inhibit access by companies or individuals to lawfully available information that is stored outside of the country. Governments should not require service providers to locate infrastructure within a country’s borders or operate locally.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Avoiding conflicts among governments: \u003c/strong>In order to avoid conflicting laws, there should be a robust, principled, and transparent framework to govern lawful requests for data across jurisdictions, such as improved mutual legal assistance treaty — or “MLAT” — processes.
