The City Traffic Engineer is authorized to permit an obstruction of traffic by an endorsement upon a building permit, demolition permit, or other type of permit. (b) Factors to be Considered. In determining whether to issue a Special Traffic Permit for an obstruction of traffic, the City Traffic Engineer shall consider the need to obstruct traffic and the purpose to be served by permitting the obstruction as set forth in the application, the number of lanes of traffic that will be left open if the permit is granted, the effect of granting the permit upon public transit and traffic, and the effect upon the public interest generally of granting or denying the permit.

With the exception of City agencies and departments, each Permittee shall file and maintain with the SFMTA a bond, cash deposit, or other security acceptable to the SFMTA securing the performance of the obligations of the Permittee under any Special Traffic Permit and in compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Article.

(2) Relocation/Removal Fees. In instances where the issuance of a permit involves the removal or relocation of any Parking Spaces, Parking Meters, or Traffic Control Devices, the City Traffic Engineer, in his or her discretion, may require an applicant or Permittee to pay any additional fee to cover SFMTA removal and/or relocation costs.

1. So in SFMTA Bd. Res. No. 170718-098. SEC. 912. VEHICLE PRESS PERMITS. (a) The following definitions shall apply: (1) News-Gathering Vehicle. A News-Gathering Vehicle is a motor vehicle for which a Vehicle Press Permit has been issued by the Director of Transportation while the vehicle is in the control of a newspaper, radio or television station, or is being operated by an employee of a newspaper, radio or television station whose primary duty is to gather or photograph news events while gathering information or images for use in the news. (2) Vehicle Press Permit. A Vehicle Press Permit is a permit issued by the SFMTA for the use of an authorized News-Gathering Vehicle. (b) The SFMTA shall issue one or more Vehicle Press Permit(s) to a newspaper, radio or television station upon receipt of an application signed by the managing editor, station manager, or person of equivalent managerial responsibility, of the newspaper, radio or television station. The application shall be on a form approved by the Director of Transportation. The application shall require the applicant to verify in writing that each requested Vehicle Press Permit is for either (1) an identified vehicle owned and operated by the newspaper, radio or television station and used primarily for the gathering of news, or (2) a person holding a full-time position with that organization whose duties primarily involve the actual gathering of news outside of the organization's main office and who has been issued a Press Permit by the Chief of Police.

COMMUTER SHUTTLE STOP PERMITS. (a) Definitions. As used in this Section 914, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings: Designated Stop. An SFMTA bus stop or a white zone designated by SFMTA as a stop available for loading and/or unloading of passengers by Shuttle Service Providers that have been issued a Shuttle Permit under this Section 914. Director. The Director of Transportation or his or her designee. Shuttle Bus. A motor vehicle designed, used or maintained by or for a charter-party carrier of passengers, a passenger stage corporation, or any highway carrier of passengers required to register with the California Public Utilities Commission that is being operated in Shuttle Service. A Shuttle Bus shall also include any bus that is owned, or being operated on behalf of, a governmental entity and being operated in Shuttle Service. Shuttle Permit. A permit issued by the SFMTA that authorizes a Shuttle Service Provider to load and/or unload passengers at specified Designated Stops in one or more Shuttle Buses. Shuttle Permit Authorization Sticker. A sticker issued by SFMTA that is visible from outside the Shuttle Bus at front, side, and rear locations as specified by the SFMTA and that identifies the Shuttle Permit authorizing the Shuttle Bus to use Designated Stops. Shuttle Service. Transportation by Shuttle Buses offered for the exclusive or primary use of a discrete group or groups, such as clients, patients, students, paid or unpaid staff, visitors, and/or residents, between an organization or entity's facilities or between the organization or entity's facilities and other locations, on a regularly-scheduled basis. Shuttle Service Provider. Any Person using Shuttle Buses to provide Shuttle Service within the City. Stop Event. A single instance of stopping by a Shuttle Bus at a Designated Stop for the purpose of loading and/or unloading passengers. (b) Findings. (1) The use of Shuttle Buses for the purpose of providing Shuttle Service is a growing means of transportation in San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. (2) Shuttle Service provides significant benefits to the community by replacing single occupant trips with more efficient transportation, contributing to a reduction in parking demand, and supporting the City's goal of increasing trips made by sustainable modes. (3) Shuttle Service currently operating in San Francisco reduces vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the City by approximately 4,300,000 miles each month. (4) Unregulated use of Muni stops by Shuttle Service Providers results in unintended adverse traffic and safety impacts, including delaying transit bus service, increasing traffic congestion, diverting bicyclists from bicycle lanes into mixed-flow lanes, and diverting

motor vehicle traffic into adjacent travel lanes, and preventing transit buses from being able to access the curb in order to load and unload passengers. (5) Prior to implementing a commuter shuttle pilot program in August, 2014, the SFMTA lacked complete information about Shuttle Service operations, including routes, frequency of service and stops, which had been a barrier to resolving and preventing conflicts with Shuttle Service Providers' operations, including adverse impacts on Muni service and increased traffic congestion. (6) Inconsistent or inaccurate identification of, and lack of contact information for, Shuttle Service Providers previously made it difficult for the SFMTA to effectively and timely communicate with Shuttle Service Providers to prevent or resolve conflicts and makes enforcement of traffic and parking regulations difficult. (7) SFMTA’s regulation of Designated Stops by Shuttle Services to provide safe loading and unloading zones for Shuttle Services, whose cumulative ridership is equivalent to that of a small transit system, is consistent with the City’s Transit First policy. (8) The commuter shuttle pilot program implemented in August 2014 enabled SFMTA to evaluate whether shared use of Muni stops by Shuttle Buses is consistent with efficient operation of the City’s public transit system. An evaluation of the pilot program conducted by SFMTA in October 2015 showed that the pilot program was successful in addressing the issues described above, and also showed ways that the program could be improved. (9) A subsequent evaluation of the commuter shuttle program completed in November 2016 concluded that the program was continuing to successfully address these issues. The evaluation showed a decrease in the potential for conflicts between commuter shuttles and public transit, a reduction in the number of shuttles traveling on small residential streets, and an increase in the number of new, cleaner vehicles in the commuter shuttle fleet. The SFMTA and the San Francisco County Transportation Authority also conducted a study of a potential “hub” system in which shuttles would be restricted to a limited number of stop locations in San Francisco. This study found that any hub scenario would result in a significant decrease in shuttle ridership and a concurrent increase in the number of people commuting by single-occupancy vehicle. The SFMTA now seeks to continue the existing program while continuing to closely monitor its progress and make improvements to its policies and procedures. (c) General Permit Program Requirements. (1) The Director is authorized to implement a program for the issuance of Shuttle Permits beginning on a date designated by the Director. (2) The Director may issue a Shuttle Permit for the use of Designated Stops upon receipt of an application from a Shuttle Service Provider on a form prescribed by the SFMTA which application meets the requirements of this Section 914. (3) The Shuttle Permit shall authorize the Shuttle Service Provider to receive a specified number of Shuttle Permit Authorization Stickers issued by SFMTA. (4) The Director is authorized to establish up to 125 Designated Stops for the purposes of this program. (d) Shuttle Permit Application Requirements. In addition to any other information requested by the Director, each application for a permit or renewal of a permit shall contain the following information: (1) The name, business location, telephone number, fax number and email address of the Shuttle Service Provider or authorized agent; (2) The name, title and contact information of one or more persons representing the Shuttle Service Provider to be notified by SFMTA in the event of a problem or permit violation relating to the Permittee's Shuttle Service; (3) The total number of Shuttle Buses the Shuttle Service Provider intends to use to deliver Shuttle Service using Designated Stops; (4) The total number of Shuttle Placards requested; (5) The number of shuttle routes for which the permit applicant is proposing to provide Shuttle Service, including the frequency of service on each route, the neighborhoods served by each route, the origin and terminus of each route, and the frequency of Shuttle Service on each route. In lieu of a map, the permit applicant may provide a narrative statement describing the routes. The applicant need only identify the route to the extent that it lies within the City. Where the point of origin or termination is outside of the City, the applicant need only provide the county in which the point of origin or termination is located; (6) A list of the Designated Stops the permit applicant proposes to use on each shuttle route, along with the proposed frequency of use of each Designated Stop per day, resulting in a calculation of the total number of Stop Events per day at Designated Stops; and (7) If applicable, documentation of the Applicant's registration status with the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC"), including any Charter Party Carrier ("TCP") authorization or permits, or registration as a private carrier of passengers, and documentation that the Applicant maintains insurance in compliance with the applicable requirements imposed by the CPUC. (8) The application shall require the applicant to acknowledge that the Permittee, by acceptance of the permit, agrees to indemnify and hold the City and County of San Francisco, its departments, commissions, boards, officers, employees and agents ("Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action which may be made against the Indemnitees for the recovery of damages for the injury to or death of any person or persons or for the damage to any property resulting directly or indirectly from the activity authorized by the permit, including, regardless of the negligen

officers, employees and agents ("Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action which may be made against the Indemnitees for the recovery of damages for the injury to or death of any person or persons or for the damage to any property resulting directly or indirectly from the activity authorized by the permit, including, regardless of the negligence of the Indemnitees. (9) Applicant shall provide a Service Disruption Prevention Plan which describes Permittee's efforts to maintain consistent and efficient service in the event of potential disruptions.

(A) The Service Disruption Prevention Plan must address, at a minimum: (i) How bus breakdowns or stalls (mechanical or otherwise) will be remedied quickly so as not to block access to bus zones or impede the free flow of traffic; (ii) Sufficient bus availability to satisfy ridership demand; (iii) Sufficient back-up driver staffing in the event that drivers are unable to work due to sickness or other reason; (iv) Contingency routing plans in the case of construction, special events, parades, celebrations, rallies, protests or other activity that may block access to certain city streets; and (v) A description of the means by which Applicant has considered the San Francisco Board of Supervisors' March 2015 Labor Harmony Resolution, including steps taken to avoid potential disruptions by addressing the principles and concerns set forth in such Resolution, and any agreements or documents evidencing such steps, as well as information regarding shuttle driver schedules (including any split-shifts), work hours, working conditions, and wages. (B) The Service Disruption Prevention Plan may, but is not required to, include statements from third parties describing the Applicant's efforts to prevent service disruptions. (C) The SFMTA will post the Service Disruption Prevention Plan for each Permittee on the SFMTA website. (D) The Permittee shall provide prompt notice to SFMTA of any labor dispute in which it is involved that has the potential to cause a disruption of service. (e) Permit Issuance. After evaluating an applicant’s permit application, the Director shall grant the Permit as requested, grant the Permit with modifications, or deny the Permit. Where the Permit is granted with modifications or denied, the notice shall explain the basis for the Director’s decision. An applicant may request review of the Director’s decision to deny the permit or grant the permit with modifications. The Director shall issue procedures governing review of the Director’s decision. (f) Shuttle Permit Authorization Sticker Application Requirements. For each vehicle to be used in the Commuter Shuttle Program, Shuttle Service Providers shall apply for a Shuttle Permit Authorization Sticker. Each application for a Shuttle Permit Authorization Sticker or renewal of a Shuttle Permit Authorization Sticker shall contain the following information for the Shuttle Bus that would be authorized, when bearing the Shuttle Permit Authorization Sticker, to use Designated Stops: (1) The manufacturer and vehicle make or model name; (2) The length, gross vehicle weight rating, and passenger capacity; (3) The model year, or, in the case of vehicles older than model year 2012 that were not previously authorized for use in Shuttle Service under the pilot program, documentation demonstrating compliance with applicable emissions standards for model year 2012; (4) The type of fuel or power used; and (5) The license plate number and vehicle registration information. (g) Shuttle Permit Authorization Sticker Issuance. After evaluating an applicant’s Shuttle Permit Authorization Sticker application, the Director shall grant the Shuttle Permit Authorization Sticker as requested, or deny the application and state the reason(s) for the denial. (h) Shuttle Permit Terms and Conditions. The Director shall establish terms and conditions for Shuttle Permits. In addition to any other requirements imposed by the Director, Permits shall include the following terms and conditions: (1) Any Shuttle Bus being operated in Shuttle Service under the Shuttle Permit shall be listed on the Permittee’s Shuttle Permit Authorization Sticker application and shall display a valid SFMTA-issued Shuttle Permit Authorization Sticker visible from outside the Shuttle Bus at the front, rear, and on each side of the Shuttle Bus as specified by the SFMTA, at all times such vehicle is being operated in Shuttle Service in the City.

(h) Procedure for Assessment and Collection of Administrative Penalties. (1) This subsection (h) shall govern the imposition, assessment, and collection of administrative penalties imposed pursuant to subsection (g). (2) The SFMTA finds: (A) That it is in the best interest of the City, its residents, visitors, and those who park on City streets to provide an alternative, administrative penalty mechanism for enforcement of violations of the Powered Scooter Share Program Permit requirements established by this Section 916, including the SFMTA’s Mobility Device Parking Requirements, as amended from time to time; and (B) That the administrative penalty scheme established by this Section 916 is intended to compensate the public for the injury or damage caused by any person or Powered Scooter Share Operator who parks or leaves standing or unattended any Powered Scooter, that is part of a Powered Scooter Share Program, on any sidewalk, Street, or public right-of-way under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Transportation Agency or Public Works without a permit issued by the Municipal Transportation Agency authorizing the Powered Scooter to be parked, left standing, or left unattended at that location. The administrative penalties authorized under this Section are intended to be reasonable and not disproportionate to the damage or injury to the City and the public caused by the prohibited conduct. (3) Administrative Citation. Where a designated officer or employee determines that there has been a violation of Division I, Section 7.2.110 of this Code, the officer or employee may issue an administrative citation to the person and/or entity responsible for the violation. The citation may be personally served on the applicant or served by certified U.S. mail to the last known address for the Powered Scooter Share Operator. The citation shall state the date and nature of the violation and the amount of the administrative penalty, and shall state that the penalty is due and payable to the SFMTA within 15 business days from the date of the notice, if not contested within the time period specified. The citation shall also state that the person or entity responsible has the right, under subsection (h)(4), to request an administrative hearing of the determination as to the violation and assessment of penalties, and shall set forth the procedure for requesting an administrative hearing.

Failure to request a hearing in a timely manner or to attend a scheduled hearing shall be deemed a waiver of the right to hearing. (B) At the time the administrative hearing request is filed, the requesting party must deposit with the SFMTA Hearing Section the full amount of the penalty required under the citation. (C) Whenever an administrative hearing is requested under this subsection (h)(4), the SFMTA Hearing Section shall, within 15 business days of receipt of the request, notify the requestor of the date, time, and place of the administrative hearing by certified mail. Such hearing shall be held no later than 30 calendar days after the SFMTA Hearing Section receives the request, unless time is extended by mutual agreement of SFMTA and the affected party.

(D) The administrative hearing shall be conducted by a neutral Hearing Officer assigned by the SFMTA Hearing Section. The SFMTA Hearing Section may issue rules as needed to implement this requirement. The parties may present evidence and testimony to the Hearing Officer. All testimony shall be under oath. The Hearing Officer shall ensure that a record of the proceedings is maintained. The burden of proof to uphold the violation, by a preponderance of the evidence, shall be on the City, but the administrative citation shall be prima facie evidence of the violation. (E) The Hearing Officer shall issue a written decision including a summary of the issues and the evidence presented, and findings and conclusions, within 15 business days of the conclusion of the hearing. The Hearing Officer may uphold the penalty imposed by the citation or dismiss the citation, but the Hearing Officer may not adjust the penalty in the context of an administrative hearing conducted under this Section 916. A copy of the decision may be personally delivered to the person contesting the violation or sent by first class mail. The decision shall be a final administrative determination. An aggrieved party may seek judicial review of the decision pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1094.5 and 1094.6. (5) Payment and Collection of Penalty. (A) Where a person or entity has not made a timely request for administrative hearing, the penalty shall be due and payable to the SFMTA on or before 15 business days from the date of issuance.

(C) If a penalty due and payable under subsections (h)(5)(A) or (B) remains unpaid after the specified due date, the SFMTA shall send the violator written notice that the penalty is overdue. Penalties that remain unpaid 30 calendar days after the due date shall be subject to a late payment penalty of $50. Persons and entities against whom administrative penalties are imposed shall also be liable for the costs and attorney’s fees incurred by the SFMTA in bringing any civil action to enforce the provisions of this Section 916, including obtaining a judgment for the amount of the administrative penalty and other costs and charges. (D) Where there is a nexus between the violation and property in the City owned by the violator, the SFMTA shall further inform the violator that if the amount due is not paid within 30 calendar days from the date of the notice, the SFMTA may initiate proceedings to make the amount due and all additional authorized costs and charges, including attorney’s fees, a lien on the property.

An Operator shall not install or operate a Charging Station on any sidewalk, street, or public right-of-way under the jurisdiction of the SFMTA or Public Works without the first obtaining a Site Permit. An Operator must still obtain any other applicable permits from City Departments. Upon notification by the City, in addition to paying any applicable fines or penalties, an unpermitted station shall be removed within five business days. A single Site Permit application may seek authorization for multiple Charging Stations if they are within a quarter mile of each other. Where a Site Permit application seeks authorization for more than one Charging Station, the Director may approve a subset of Charging Stations. (2) Site Factors and Eligibility. In evaluating the application, the Director may consider the following factors and any other factor the Director determines to be relevant: (A) whether the site occupies or interferes with a traffic lane; (B) whether the site interferes with or delays public transit service, or impedes transit maintenance, operations, or access, including any specific requirements regarding the operation of a particular type of SFMTA transit vehicle, transit line, transit stop, or other factors or considerations; (C) whether the site displaces a transit stop; (D) whether the site significantly interferes with the movements of pedestrians or bicyclists, or creates hazardous conditions for pedestrians or bicyclists; (E) whether the site significantly impacts vehicular traffic and loading; (F) whether the site significantly impacts paratransit or ADA accessible loading or access; (G) whether the site significantly impacts existing infrastructure or installations near parking spaces including bikeshare stations, existing parklets, and expanded sidewalks; (H) the maximum number of Curbside Electric Vehicle Charging Stations authorized under the Curbside Electric Vehicle Charging Permit Program Citywide and in any given area of the City; (I) the availability of parking; and (J) access to or from residences and businesses. (3) Overconcentration. Notwithstanding any other requirement, the Director may deny a Site Permit if issuing a permit would lead to an over-concentration of Charging Stations in the public right-of-way; cause an imbalance in the geographical distribution of stations which are part of the Curbside Electric Vehicle Charging Program; or otherwise not be in the public interest. (4) Term. Site Permits may have a duration of up to five years from the effective date on the Site Permit and are eligible for one or more extensions of up to five years each at the Director’s discretion. If a Site Permit is revoked, the Operator shall not be eligible to reapply for a Site Permit for 24 months from the date of revocation. If a Site Permit expires or is revoked, the Operator shall, at its sole cost, remove the Charging Station and restore the sidewalk area following removal. (5) Contents. Site Permits shall list the name and current contact information for the Operator, as well as a unique number identifying the Curbside Electric Vehicle Charging Station. The unique identifying number shall be prominently displayed on each station that is part of this program. (6) Issuance. After evaluating a Site Permit application, the Director shall grant, deny, or grant the Site Permit with modifications. If the Director denies the permit or grants the permit with modifications, the Director shall explain in writing the basis for the decision. An applicant may appeal the Director’s decision to deny a permit or grant a permit with modifications to a neutral hearing officer. The hearing officer’s review of the Director’s decisions shall be conducted under the substantial evidence standard, and the hearing officer shall uphold the Director’s determination where there is any substantial evidence to uphold that determination. The Director shall issue procedures governing appeals and may amend the procedures from time to time. In applying the substantial evidence standard, the neutral hearing officer shall not reweigh the evidence. The hearing officer may either deny the appeal or order the Director to reconsider the matter. The hearing officer’s order shall be in writing and shall explain the basis of the decision. A hearing officer’s order to reconsider shall not limit or control in any way the discretion vested in the Director to issue Site Permits. (7) Joint and Several Liability. As a condition of a Site Permit, each Permittee agrees on its behalf and on behalf of any agents, successors, or assigns to be wholly responsible for the construction, installation, and maintenance of any permitted Charging Station. Each Permittee and its agents are jointly and severally liable for all consequences of such construction, installation, and maintenance of a Charging Station. A Permittee is not excused from responsibility or liability by the issuance of any Site Permit, inspection, repair suggestion, approval, or acquiescence of any person affiliated with the City. (8) Maintenance Plan. Permittees shall submit a reliability, maintenance, operations, cleaning, removal, and/or repair plan for permitted Charging Stations in a format and meeting requirements as determined by the SFMTA, as amended from time to time.
