Here are the functions of the OCEIA ”Community Ambassadors”
“Ensuring safe passage to public transportation for residents, visitors, travelers and workers.
Providing directions and general assistance as needed.
Reporting criminal or disruptive behavior to the SFPD and MTA
Alerting 311 and city departments of safety hazards or street cleanliness/maintenance issues that affect public safety or health.
Providing information and referrals on existing city programs and services as needed.”

Anyway, this is Your Money at work, sort of.
