Are Mandatory Vaccines Coming to Tech?

During last week’s Bridging the Divide: The Road to a Digital-First SF event, sf.citi heard key solutions to address the City’s digital divide from an incredible panel of industry experts, community leaders, and Supervisor Matt Haney. The lively conversation sparked a simplified approach to the digital divide that focuses on three pillars: access to the internet, making internet services more affordable, and having regular consumers and small business owners understand the value of broadband and possess the digital tools, skills, and resources so they can adopt digital advancements. Now the question becomes, can policymakers, private industry, and community organizations advance efforts in the City that close the digital gap before it’s too late?

It might become easier—and more expensive—to drive around downtown San Francisco in the coming years. That’s according to the new recommendations released from the San Francisco County Transit Authority’s (SFCTA) study on congestion pricing. At the end of the year, the SFCTA will present the Board of Supervisors these recommendations, which include among others, imposing a base fee of $6.50 to enter the congestion pricing zone with eligible discounts based on income level, charging a fee only during morning and afternoon rush hour, and expanding the congestion zone to areas around downtown such as the Tenderloin, Fisherman’s Wharf, Mission Bay and more.
