He says the big question now is how lawmakers and the T itself will respond.īruce Mohl is the editor of CommonWealth magazine. Rick Dimino, the president and CEO of the business group A Better City, said the “fiscal cliff” the T is facing will only get bigger with the FTA directives. “The general manager reflects what the governor and the governor’s people want him to reflect,” Aloisi said, suggesting Poftak may be constrained in what he can publicly say. He said the Legislature and the governor need to step forward quickly with additional funding, even though T General Manager Steve Poftak hasn’t requested more money. James Aloisi, a TransitMatters board member and former secretary of transportation, said many of the directives will require spending more on operations at a time when the T is already bracing for a future with budget shortfalls now that federal aid is running out. The directive said the T lacks the resources and access to track needed to conduct a “proactive inspection and maintenance program.” The maintenance directive for example, mentions the T spends $2 billion a year on capital initiatives and only $70 million on maintenance. The FTA’s directives never address the budget implications of the recommendations, but some of them could increase costs significantly. The fact that the T responded to the FTA’s directives by saying it would have all employees recertified this week suggests the authority isn’t paying attention to even the most basic issues. The lapsed certifications raise questions about T management’s attention to safety, despite all the claims that safety is the agency’s top priority. Overall, 221 Green Line operators (41 percent of the total), 25 inspectors (26 percent), eight supervisors (50 percent), and 12 yard masters (100 percent) were deemed late for annual recertifications, according to the FTA. Thanks to your support, one day we will find cures for these diseases and in the meantime, we will ensure that every patient lives their most fulfilling life.The problem was most severe on the Green Line, which has had a high number of “ safety events ” lately.

Because of continued commitment from supporters like The Legacy, the Foundation is making great strides in IBD, including: These chronic, life-long conditions can be treated, however, there are currently no cures. Collectively known as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic and debilitating diseases affecting an estimated 3.1 million children and adults in America, with nearly 60,000 people diagnosed in San Diego, Riverside and Imperial Counties. The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is dedicated to finding cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improving the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases. Through the amazing generosity of this group, the Rolf Benirschke Legacy Foundation donated $100,000 to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation to support the IBD Community and mission of the Foundation. With a day of golf, The Legacy community came together safely to celebrate friendship and love for the San Diego community. As with most events, they had to make the decision to pivot from their traditional dinner and golf tournament. We want to extend a huge THANK YOU to the Rolf Benirschke Legacy Foundation and all of those that supported The Legacy Responds campaign this year.

We can’t wait until we can see you again.
Of course, we wish we could be thanking you in person this year, but we hope you enjoy this special video in the meantime. Your many years of dedication to our mission and to the patients and caregivers in the IBD community is so greatly appreciated, and we could not continue to make such an impact without the generous support of the Rolf Benirschke Legacy Foundation. I wanted to send a special thank you message for your support this year. I hope you and your loved ones are doing well as we head into the end of the year.
