in the chair of the city government of san mateo county. the first thing i would like to say is that we acknowledge and agree that congestion is a regional issue. it does not start at the border of san francisco and is not confined to downtown san francisco. if you want to go to the airport around commuter hours, you will see some of our congestion. want to get to silicon valley during those same hours? you will be in congestion. the city county association of governments is the management agency for the county. we also understand that this is a study. but honestly of felt like solutions were already being crawford before the study was conducted. san mateo county feels singled out on this and we wonder if we understand the underlying causes and current impact, regional patterns and income levels of the people impacted, the timing of the traffic and what leads to the ingestion. a good study will identify alternatives, looking at potential results from each alternative, studying the impact and most importantly, which is where we are not sure
