“Today's announcement is one that is incredibly exciting because it doubles the access of this program. And initially, when this program was put together, the city wasn't sure if it would be low cost or free. And We're excited to announce that it will be entirely free.

I think that's part of the larger conversations we're having about how to go beyond this.” (21:29–21:32)
