The San Francisco County government meeting held on July 4, 2025, focused on critical issues surrounding transit services, particularly for individuals with disabilities and the elderly. The meeting began with public comments, where Joe Kinsler, a former member of a transit advisory committee, highlighted the high costs associated with paratransit services, which he noted can exceed $40 to $60 per trip. Kinsler emphasized the importance of situating affordable housing for aging and disabled individuals near fixed-route transit options to enhance accessibility and reduce operational costs.

Kinsler also suggested that housing centers be named in honor of notable figures, such as Catherine Stephanie, to commemorate their contributions to the community. Following his remarks, the chair acknowledged Kinsler's comments and moved to close public testimony.

The meeting then transitioned to discussions led by Supervisor Dorsey, who expressed gratitude to Jessica Layman from Senior and Disability Action for her contributions. Dorsey raised concerns regarding the condition of elevators in housing facilities, particularly at the Veterans Academy in the Presidio, where two elevators had been installed at significant expense. He inquired about the overall cost estimates for repairing all elevators under the county's jurisdiction, noting the critical impact of functioning elevators on residents' quality of life.

The meeting concluded with Dorsey thanking the steering committee members for their expertise and commitment to addressing these pressing issues. He emphasized the need for continued collaboration as budget discussions progress, despite the financial challenges facing the county. A motion to file the hearing was unanimously approved, marking the end of the session.
