"Upon further discussion with transit advocates and the commitment from the SFMTA, that they would halt their original plan to extend parking meter hours and days of operation, I'm withdrawing the proposed charter amendment that would have provided moral accountability over the SFMTA fares and increases in parking meter rates in hours."
Currently, the SFMTA Board of Directors makes decisions about any Muni fare increases during the budget process, which happens every two years. In 2008, the SFMTA board approved delegating authority to the director of transportation to set parking meter rates, operations and time limits that leaves the public out of the process, Safai said.
Both Safai and Peskin urged the SFMTA to delay implementing the parking meter changes until the Controller's Office completed a economic impact report.
