Mr. Gajda to Mr. Anderson: Bike Program has a mere 9 staffers

Mr. Anderson:

The Bicycle Program staff total is currently 9. This total includes new staff. One staff person has yet to be added to our web site. Thank you for your continued interest in our program.

Best Regards,

Oliver J. Gajda

Mr. Gajda:

I read in the SF Chronicle of June 3 that MTA is hiring "nine new staffers to focus on bicycle transit in the city." Are those really new hires or does that number include present staff? I count eight staffers on your MTA site. If they are new hires, that would bring city bike staff up to 17. Is that right?

Regards,

Rob Anderson
