Last night . The committee would like to acknowledge the staff of as of geo tv who record and make this available to public online. You have any announcements . Members of the public are asked to silent or turn off their cell phones. Public comment will be taking place after each item and speakers will have two minutes each. Before i call the first item, i want to take a moment to recognize that we have had, unfortunately, 18 fatalities found in San Francisco this year on the streets. This is heartbreaking. Considering last year we were on the right track, and at this time last year the number of fatalities was six. What we are seeing, three times as many this year. I have said this before, were not just talking about crosswalks and so forth. Vision zero is about the safety of people. Many of our people are not safe, at this point, especially seeing a High Percentage of grandmothers being killed on our streets, and children and young people. This is not just a crisis in San Francisco. Although we have made some strides in the city. Pedestrian death in the us is now the highest in 30 years. We still hold to be an example, i would say this year we might not make that. Across country, pedestrians on the rise jumping from more than 4000 in 2009, to nearly 6000 in 2017. Im looking forward to todays presentations. I want to look more at reducing the severe net severe injuries which have not gone down and remained at more than, i can see the number, but a lot in the last three years. Injuries are people, sometimes we dont remember that. The we talk about the deaths all the time. But there is actually a lot of people that are severely injured that we do not talk about. When they have the severe injuries, that also changes their lives. I just want to keep saying that every time i can. Okay, so, lets move on. Mr. Claire, please call the first item. [reading items] okay. This is action item, do i need a motion for this . Yes. Can i have a motion to accept the minutes of . Moved by commissioner mandel men and seconded by commissioner stefani. With no objection, the motion passes. Okay, item number three . [reading items] i am sorry. Lets resend that last vote because i only called for two. Can i have a motion to approve the Consent Agenda . No objection, than the motion passes. Lets go to our regular meeting, item number four. [reading items] hi. Good afternoon commissioners. I am the senior state and federal legislative analyst at . And. Im here to give you an update on vision zero related actions happening in sacramento. A walk shop that we would do in sacrament of her legislative bath this week. Third i will go through some individual legislative items directly related to vision zero. The first thing i want to talk about is the zero fatalities traffic task force. Related to Speed Enforcement and local control speed limit settings. The state realizes that there is a need to create a Stakeholder Group to come together to think about speed management issues, handsomely. Rather than these oneoff legislative proposals that were not making their way through. In order to do this, the zero Traffic Fatalities Task force reducing traffic fatalities to zero. San francisco is well represented on this task force. Trans sevens director of affairs is sitting on the board. Other members include local and State Government representatives, chp, Public Health officials, it is a wide variety of folks interested in these topics. The very first meeting was held this past tuesday. It included an overview of the states priorities on speed management as well as Breakout Sessions for everybody to come together i really start to dig into some of these issues. The task force will have three additional meetings this year. Intended to inform legislative proposals in the 2020 legislative session. This is where we plan to see a lot of discussion of our transformative policy agenda including Speed Enforcement and local control speed limit settings to be discussed and hopefully be in a legislative proposal for next year. After talking to kate about her experience, she said she was hopeful this could advance San Franciscos agenda up in sacramento. We will continue to keep you guys apprised of what happens with this task force in advance of next year. When did you say the recommendations from the task force the task force will have four meetings over the next six month with a final report due out in december 2019. That will include policy recommendations for legislative proposals for the 2020 session. Got it. Okay. At that point, i assume you will be coming back to report on that . Yes, definitely. Great. Any indication about the automated Speed Enforcement . It is nothing no clear direction. As part of the conversation and speed management umbrella of issues that they are looking at. Have you spoken to people who might have suggested ways for us to help out along . Committee members . Or anyone else . Yeah, i think this sounds like this first meeting, everybody in the room, lets figure out, lets talk, lets get to know each other. Once the Advisory Committee comes into that can help lend more voices to the table. I think we will keep you updated. Okay. Any questions . Okay. Thank you. Wait. Sorry. That was just the first part. The second part i just wanted to mention the Task Force Working to continue to educate legislative staff in sacramento. Our group of the seven largest big city departments of transportation will be holding a vision zero walking tour in sacramento tomorrow for legislative staff. The idea for that is to make sure when legislative staff conserves visions, they have a more personal contact should i can understand. We are excited about that. Do you think there will be a lot of legislators . Probably not legislators because it is a friday. We have at least 30 legislative staff which is pretty good. We held a similar event regarding mobility in february, we had a lot of staff attend. A lot of them followed up throughout the session to ask us questions about legislation. Its a great way for us to continue to build those relationships. The last thing i want to do, if i can turn to my slide. I just wanted to highlight the legislation that has been making its way through this session. As you may or may not know, its a really busy time in sacramento. We are really in the thick of it. Some bills have artie seen fhm will not be moving forward. Other ones have a july 12 deadline to pass out of the next policy committee for the same reason. The first bill i want to talk about is ab 47, which is a bill that would have made violations of driving with a cell phone subject to one point on a drivers record. We know distracted driving is an extremely dangerous behavior. We see it all the time. We have great Education Outreach Program about this as well. That was the original intent of the bill. The Committee Hearings have been amended a bit. Now would only make a second violation that occurs within 36 months of the first violation subject to one point. It gives little more leniency to the original proposal. We did support tran30, and we are not taking commission going for because of the changes. The next bill is sb 127 that is from our very own sen. Weiner. Requiring caltrans to add features to have safety and accessibility to folks walking, biking and taking transit when they repave or do upgrades on state roads that function as local roads. Such as as [inaudible] we know the state has different priorities than we do locally. We really want to make sure that there is not a huge discrepancy on the state really follows our lead and design when working on roads that are in the middle of our city. We support that bill. It is making its way through the assembly right now. The third bill is ab 1112. This is a bill sponsored by Assembly Member friedman that would have limited the regulations that local authorities will be able to place on shared mobility devices including scooters and bike share. For San Francisco, it would have included our lock to devices, parking guidelines and our equity in low income programs. It would have limited some of the data we were able to collect to help enforce our program. Due to strong opposition from cities, i know San Francisco worked on this a lot, and a lot of the safety advocates, the bill was turned into a twoyear bill so it would not be moving forward the session which we are really excited about, because we have a very Robust Program in place right now that we are, you know, in the midst of evaluating and making sure it is working correctly and we want to maintain that authority. The next bill is 8713 ab 1713 lowering the blood alcohol comment content. Several states have considered this, but utah is the only one that has been successful in passing this legislation through. There tends to be strong opposition from this bill was never even heard in the first policy committee this year. It was decided it would not move forward a while ago. I want to keep it on the agenda to know that it is happening in sacramento. The last one i want to mention is sb 152 which is from it would have made changes to the active Transportation Program which funds improvements across the state. The bay area has been pretty unsuccessful in this program over the last cycle. We felt that the changes proposed in this that were sponsored by mtc would have allowed us to be more competitive for the funding. However the bill did face strong upper dish opposition over the past two cycles. That is my legislative update. Im happy to take any questions. Any questions . No. Well, i am certain what is going on there looks like what i would love. I am glad some of these are moving forward and i hope they never come back again. [laughter] thank you very much for your report. I should take Public Comments on this. Any Public Comments on this item number four . Talking about fatalities. He just broke a record last month pertaining to drug overdoses, pertaining to this drug called fentanyl. That is a very important issue to be recognized just as much as the fatalities pertaining to pedestrians being hit by automobiles on buses, at any other type of vehicles. A lot of these overdoses are taking place in the facilities of the Transportation System pertaining to muni and also the bart system. I think information should be shared on those types of problems along with the fatalities. All of them is causing death and they are in the same general location. Im going to start pushing for moves to address the addictions of drugs that is being used two facilities of bart, and the facilities of muni, throughout the subway system and you talk about Apartment Building complexes that is being built are proposed by weiner in the areas of the bart locations. I am going to be pushing for low Income Housing in those areas, and Rehabilitation Centers in the buildings themselves in order to clean up the addiction abuse that is being used in the bart system. I was speak to you lady about that. I want to see some burns issued, the way they are being issued to city college in order to have free College First ordinance, i want to point out ive seen a lot of discrepancies in that. The chancellor there, he is making false statements. Hes already 32 million in debt, and he is presenting proposals, and acting like hes creating a positive cash flow when the truth of the matter is hes actually increasing the negative cash flow that yorty have in your hands. Im going to be putting strong emphasis on that fact, too. I want a low income people to get treated just like the high income bracket people. Now closed area thank you. I just said thank you. Dont worry. Thank you for your update and keep us informed. We can move on. In my mad rush to make this meeting shorter than last nights, i had to go back and resend the vote again because i needed to read correct the actions. Can i do the vote for two and three . With no objections it is now moved. Let me have motions for approving the minute. If no objection, Public Comment . Is there any Public Comments on the minutes . On the minutes . Okay. The motion passes. Call item number three, please. [reading items] thank you. I dont have a presentation. I believe you have the item in your packet. If you have any questions im happy to answer any of those you might have. Can you go through the highlights . Absolutely. Overall we did a fairly good job of meeting the goals of the prior Action Strategies which im trying to make sure i do not confuse i believe it went from 2,0172018 because we are currently in the year 2019. And, we did fairly well, i think we got some fairly valid criticism about the strategy overall. It didnt take us to the meaningful places that we needed to go in order to achieve vision zero which is something we are responsive to through the current Action Strategy currently in place. Just looking back over our shoulder, the most important goal we set was the 13 miles of improvements for safeties on vision zero corridor. That was a huge emphasis change from doing projects everywhere across the city to spending our time and our dollars on the high Injury Network. We consistently met the 13 miles per year goal on the Injury Network until last year. Only in 2018 we did not meet the goal but we had exceeded the goal consistently every prior year. In total over 70 miles of improvement on it citywide. We really advance a lot of policies including interval policies, crosswalk upgrade policies. New productive bike lanes all happened in the last two years in those two years in addition to advancing quick bills which is something we are now going to hear a presentation about. The first quick bill project we built in 2017 and 2018. I think modeled the kind of work we want to see moving forward and expanding. We did a great bicycle Collision Analysis which immediately lent itself to a project on valencia. If you look at our bicycle collisions you see them predominantly on valencia street. Even though the city spent a specific amount of time and money on valencia street. That analysis muc immediately sent us back. Nuc the results of that analysis today. Protected by facilities with a new project coming on the southern portion. We are thankful for the support of the supervisors on those projects. It just shows you how a little bit of Data Analysis goes a long way. I have a question on that. I will talk for days on how great we are doing. I guess the data is showing it has improved, did you just say that . Data has shown that it has improved . Only did the bicycle Collision Analysis, though we had done significant work on valencia street we were seeing new and increased collisions all over valencia. Specifically on both sides were bicyclist. Both from the left and the right, that is really related to the drop off and pick ups. It lent itself to an immediate new project that we have since built. I do interact with that road a little bit. I was just curious whether its just me or maybe other people have expressed one block from Market Street going south, or when we get to do both. I usually make a turn in their, and always worrying about the bike lane where i cant really see them. They are traveling really fast, by the time i could see anything, cars are parked in between the driving lane and the bike lane. So, when i tried to merge where i can turn, its okay if bicyclists are going regular speed, there really people that can go real fast. I might not see them coming down. We anticipated and its actually consistent. What we are doing is putting in a protected bicycle signal specifically so we separate the right turn that you are trying to make from cycle is going southbound. Signal work takes longer. We are trying to get that posted as fast as possible. In the coming months you will see a signal change which fully separates the cyclists from the cars. Come and give us feedback. It wasnt just me . No, it was everybody. I want to skim quickly, we have since naturally changed our School Program based on the feedback from this committee we were successful with prior efforts. We do have a revamp program in addition we launched the safe routes for Seniors Program which i think has been well met. We will hear more about that today. We had a line items for families for safe streets and we have been finding that program and will continue to fund that program. That was something that did not exist prior to this years Action Strategy. We linked Hospital Data to police data in the to your timeline. Weve started working with fleet managers in the city and providing fleet training to all city vehicle drivers. I just want to highlight the things that to present today. As well as severe injuries, thank you commissioner for your comments. Severe injuries are really critical focus of vision zero and we look forward to sharing our findings today. All of these analyses are possible because of our collaboration between the Health Department and the zuckerberg San FranciscoGeneral Hospital. We work under the Vision Zero Research collaborative of backgrounds and expertise. With respect to emerging mobility, we have been working to create a standardized methodology to monitor injuries related to new modes of transportation through the trauma registry. Recently released our first sixmonth report looking particularly at escooter related collisions. These were shared as a part of the packet. I want to acknowledge our vision zero epidemiologist was critical in leading this work and is in our audience today. Because of the injury prevention Research Collaborative we had a Strong Foundation when escooter hit our streets last year to work with the hospital staff to develop methodology for tracking. We were the first in the country to do so who were eager to impairment something similar given the Public Safety concerns with respect to two new modes. There is a number of names that have advancer this including reporting the data including transparency and consistency with respect to definitions, and supporting Better Communications between our First Responders and clinicians and police. Including the transheaven who is critical in regulating. To develop the methodology we looked at first just what the universe of a new vehicle types which are depicted here on the slide. In addition to the methodology, created posters and distributed to First Responders, to help identify the vehicles. So we can compare findings across the different types of data collection. We also ask questions about whether it was a Mobility Service or sharing technology. Obviously there could be private ownership or sharing which is another factor that we really interested in and also whether an Autonomous Vehicle was involved in the crash anticipating increases on our street as well. We have a full report. I wanted to highlight some of our initial findings. So far we have been able to analyze the data from 2018, but we will be looking at a longer. Of time, the coming months, in support of trent 30s pilot scooter 12 month pilot evaluation. The green light looks at the registry data. The blue is our Police Department data, and the oranges selfreported from power Scooter Companies. One thing is interesting to know, the pecan may prior to our regulation, and then also, the parallels really between the blue and the green lines with respect to, you know, the trend line. We also just took a deeper dive at some general patterns with respect to power scooter injuries in 2018. More people were injured in crashes with Motor Vehicles but we had a number of people who were also injured falling or colliding with the stationary objects. Our concern was people being injured as pedestrians and all data we did find a small portion of people that were injured in a collision while walking with a powered scooter. We also looked at the age distribution of injuries noting that three children under age 17 and under were injured, we do not have the data on whether or not it was a shared program, but, the sharing program of course is for people 18 and over. Particularly with respect to injury. Two thirds of people with the most severe injuries sustained head injuries, 22 people were wearing helmets. Those wearing helmets have less severe injuries and patterns with respect to injured people injured while walking, helmet use and age were really similar when comparing with both scooters reported as well as police data. With respect to the next steps we are going to work to continue monitoring injuries in support of smts evaluation. Weve also been working nationally with research on Government Agencies to change how National Guidelines for medical records so we can look across the country and actually track these types of emergency mobility devices which are currently invisible with respect to standardized coding. And then also engaging in local and National Dialogues to really hope advance the practice with respect to injury prevention and also monitoring examples of opportunities for improved safety including bases like having Vehicle Safety standards for powered scooters that are similar to what exists for bike share, how easy Scooter Companies can help us maintain parking spaces, the importance of sharing data to inform safety improvements as well as safety. Also spoke about the importance of severe injuries. We did present on this briefly at a previous meeting. Given the significance, we wanted to reshare the data that has been analyzed so far, through 2017 where we saw, approximately, not approximately, 574 severe injuries in our Hospital Data. Of those 110 are our most critical injuries. A note on the slide is that the data methodology changed in that middle where you see the errors with respect to how patients were referred to the General Hospital. We feel like the most recent three years are most representative of trends, that is something we will continue to monitor. We are using again our Hospital Data to monitor trends. There are differences with respect to fatality monitoring. But because our hospitals are level i Trauma Center we feel confident and it capturing the most severe injuries we are seeing on our streets. I know we may be short on time, so i just want to conclude focusing on the distribution of injury with people comprising about 1 3 of injuries area with respect to trends, and overall we are seeing recent flattening out of severe injuries in recent years. We saw some helpful decrease with respect to critical injuries to pedestrians in 2017. Again, this is something that we will be analyzing this year. We are currently crunching the 2018 data and look forward to sharing it as soon as it is available. In addition to the 2018 trend analysis, we are going to be developing metrics for vision zero. We are working for that to be evidencebased with respect to what our targets are. That is something we will be releasing at the same time as our trend analysis. I also want to conclude with a slide. This is our fatality trends through may 2019. It does not capture the additional three fatalities that we know of that our vision zero report has not been processed or june. However, speaking as a cochair of vision zero we know our fatalities or something that we need much more on more significant decreases and know we are going in the direction we are going on. The legislative update is a critical piece of this work for our severe injuries as well as our fatalities with respect to making sure we are going in the right direction, making sure that we have the political will and support to really advance some of the transformative policies that we have identified in our Action Strategy that we know will make the larger impacts that we need to see on our streets with respect to lowering speeds. That concludes my presentation. I welcome any questions. I have an interesting stat rate i dont know if its true. In terms of injuries using scoot or skip, and the numbers i have is that skip had ready for injuries and scoot had none do you think that is accurate . I do. I believe that was in the detail report. We both believe that is accurate. And, i do know that there is a pretty significant differences between Deployment Services of scooters between scoot and skip. I think thats an important factor in understanding the differences in injuries. If someone had to choose one of them, which one is safer . I dont think the number of injuries is necessarily a reflection of safety or risk in the scooter. I think that is something that we havent necessarily evaluated in this report. The report is looking at is reported injuries. So, an extreme example would be if there were zero injuries. Have to step up to the mic if you want to speak. Tran21 issue we see with the injury data are the reported collision data from the Scooter Companies, is that selfreport of people using the app or someone calling in to say yes there is a collision. We have a reason to believe that is probably a severe undercount of the number of collisions that are happening and also maybe not the best measure of safety compared to our Hospital Data that captures the most severe injuries when you say there is 34, 44 injuries, whatever that number was for the Scooter Companies. Those are just collisions are not necessarily severe collisions. It could be a fall that is relatively minor. We think we get better quality data out of the police and Hospital Data. That is why we look to that first but we report all three sources in that report. The 34 injuries were users who reported a crash, not necessarily an injury and does not account for how many users were actually using that device overall. At the hospital, if they get to the hospital, do we have data on that in terms of what they were using . Which company . Unfortunately, that data is limited to what can be captured in the medical record. Clinicians have told us time and again their priority is the health of the patient. With these protocols that we have put in place, those pictures in the trauma bay, if a patient volunteers that it was a skip or a scoot scooter it might end up in the and we can abstract it. We are limited by what the patient offers. In a severe injury circumstance, people might not be talking when they arrived at the hospital. It also speaks to educating the First Responders while the user might be aware of a scooter or skip, understand that same nuance. Am wondering if we can figure out a way to capture i guess if, like you said, maybe the reported injuries doesnt indicate anything, but it such a drastic difference zero versus 34. Im wondering, just thinking out loud, and wondering if it is possible, if the companies themselves could report the damages of the scooters that might be an indication also if its truly that different, then we should find out what the differences are and actually push for companies to treat their scooters, i guess, the safest way they can. We agree. I would caution assuming because one company did not report any collisions that they didnt necessarily happen on their scooters. It could be a question of how easy it is to report to that particular app. Rather than a measure of safety. Fair enough. I think we would not also expect the two to be the same. The trauma data, the people that require hospitalization and trauma care where the scoot and skip report is any crash irrespective of any injury. Our doctors are also going to review emergency room visits this summer so we will have an additional source of data to better understand what the injury verdict may be for the less severe injuries. Thank you. Any Public Comment . Want to highlight that San FranciscoGeneral Hospital has a problem with people with mental disabilities and that is not being addressed. We have a shortage of mental beds that are used to treat people with severe disabilities pertaining to defects as far as the Mental Health is concerned. By the same response, San FranciscoGeneral Hospital report that they have a shortage of beds and this is the statistics that they have and how they are short on providing services to the population. We have a homeless population, in San Francisco alone, at 8011 people. The overall population of Homeless People in the San Francisco bay area is 28,200. As a result, this problem has got to be addressed and should be focused in more so and included in the studies and demonstrations along with your performance that you made before me. There has been numerous studies about professional people in the mental Treatment Centers that studies after studies after studies, have proven that the best way to provide Mental Services to people with mental disability is to provide stable housing. You have arrest rate record of homeless by police and bart of 1039 people in one month. As you can see people sleeping on the part yee throughout the system from one end of the line thank you. Next speaker. Before the next speaker comes up, i want to remind the audience, when you make Public Comments, this is a Vision Zero Committee talking about fatalities and injuries caused by transportation. Please keep your comments to those issues. There is other meetings that address other things. I am Howard Bloomberg i live in east somo. My comment really has to do with injuries which have been monitored in the past which are not fatalities, not trauma injuries, but injuries that are somewhat lower level. In a report, San Francisco 2,0122015 collision report, the estimate of these collisions injuries was 724. I suspect, but i dont know that the number of people who were injured, with lesser injuries and trauma is probably much more than this. Also with regard to scooters, scooters are starting to migrate, i am finding out onto the sidewalks, because often times it is dangerous to be on the streets. This poses a danger, i think to pedestrians who are then subject to collisions by the scooters which are also electric. They are on the sidewalks, there seems to be little control of this that these certainly might not cause traumatic injuries to pedestrians. They would require medical attention. I think this item should be looked out especially with regards to how scooters are now becoming very prevalent in our city. Thank you. Public comment is now closed. Mr. Clark, please call item number six. [reading items] i am the peanut gallery, per john. [laughter] good afternoon. The information that we were asked to present is the current numbers for citation. At this time, Traffic Company in your packet you have 2018 as well as 2019 year to date. Traffic company, at this point, is over 50 which was our goal. Many of the stations are in the 40 percentile. Richmond station is at 60 . Bayview is at 40 . I think the overall goal obviously is to have a good amount of citations for education, enforcement, but also to really hit home in the high injury corridors and try to actually reduce the amount of collisions in those areas. The number of personnel which is always the subject as well, right now we just had another class that was finished, it was one sergeant and five officers. Right now with people on disability as well as retirement, we are now at 50 officers, five sergeants. We have an acting capt. And a lieutenant. This morning, to back up a little bit i had a meeting with all of the captains to discuss vision zero and what their plans are. To come up with a solid plan on how they are going to move forward through the summer, northern station is actually doing a great job they have a great plan. All of them are identifying traffic officers. Obviously through the last year or so, the priorities for the stations has been as we build our numbers and the reduction of our officers at the station, those foot beads have been a priority. Traffic has taken a backseat, so to speak. But, what we are going to try to do we have these officers coming in from the academy. We are trying to have them trained up that is part of their training during traffic enforcement. What we are going to do is focus completely on vision zero citations. I think you might have a question for me . Okay. If you have any questions in regards to the data i am more than happy to answer them. I am sorry i need a helper. John . [laughter] i am sorry. Is that it . It is. I know you wanted to look at the data. I wasnt sure if you had any questions or regards to the numbers. I do not have a lot in addition. I will say that there was another collision last night and the individual has lifethreatening injuries. I am looking at did you put this on the screen, not sure i saw it on the screen . This one . This is for this year. Im just curious, in regards to the citations of course when we first started this vision zero, there was a push to give citations, to not only vehicles bicyclists and pedestrians, weve seen the numbers from a year ago the same, or 1. 5 years. Have there been more, terms of percentage of citations given to pedestrians and bicyclists. There is less now. That is what i thought. Do you know how approximately how much less . Of course i left my glasses in my car. I do not have the numbers from last year. I do know that we have tried to focus on vehicles through the speed factors that have been going on. A lot of the fatalities are about speed and turning. We really try to focus on that, less on pedestrian behavior and cyclists even though that is absolutely a subject for us. As far as a priority, if were really going to go after behavior, it would be the vehicle first in my mind. I would say, for a while there, not recently, but some of the fatalities are collisions were in the middle of the street i havent heard of one for a while. Unfortunately, it appears that last nights was about crossing on the red. I do think, with a partnership with mta and all of the organizations that we work with the outreach is critical, they have been doing that. I think when it comes to pedestrians and cyclists, Bicycle Coalition is here walk s. F. Is here. We are here talking bout these positions on outreach. Everyone does a good job of doing that. Unfortunately, some of the victims, a lot of the victims are from the asian community. That was a conversation as well with the captains today. Identify where the Senior Centers are and hit those areas. Also do the outreach with the Senior Centers, so we can really have that conversation with them. Okay. Who would take lead in outreach . Thank you. Thank you for your presentation. How many motorcycle cops do we have right now, how many have graduated from the academy . We are at 50 right now. Where where we a few years ago. I know we had like 100 bikes, or at least, how many motorcycles are unused right now. At the height of hiring was about 100. Usually about 80. So were around 50 right now . Yes. I know theyre doing the staffing analysis in the San FranciscoPolice Department in the fall. If we were to have more enforcement, motorcycle cops on the street would we be able to issue more tickets and therefore would we be able to prevent more traffic fatalities like this. Is out of something being looked at in the analysis. I think what they are looking at is enforcement. Definitely, enforcement is just one piece of the puzzle. We have learned as a city that everybody has a hand in it, whether it be outreach, enforcement education, we do our own Outreach Community engagement. Its all part of the conversation. If we had more, it is how we deploy people, right. We dedicate people to only focus on vision zero and hitting hotspots. That deployment is very important in how we approach, with the numbers. If we have 80, if we dont deploy correctly it is not worth 80. We want to make sure that when we are up at that number, and i think we will, at some point, when we get enough staffing. Yeah, it will affect enforcement. I think it is interesting, when we had 80, we did not have the congestion problems we have and a lot of the other issues i think we are facing. I think we need to continue to step up our numbers of motorcycle cops i think you are focusing on that. I think we need to continue to look at that and look at the academies. Thank you. Keep up the good work. Any Public Comments on this item . Come on up. Thank you. My name is bert hill. [inaudible] this is very timely, last monday night, we met new captain, luke martin, really impressed with him, he did a great job. One of the things we talked about was the staffing of traffic, in detail with it. We heard the staff went from 100 down to 80 and where it is now. Encouraging the board of supervisors on the mayor to support in their planning. An increase in traffic, it seems the correlation is not causation, but the recent increases relate inversely to the declining number
