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 Francisco General 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 Francisco General 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, less, in 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 Francisco Police 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 of officers in enforcement. Two other comments real quickly. As far as the first five, one of the main thing that happens that causes collisions, his failure to signal. The Police Department shows very few statistics on siding people for failure to signal. This is a preventative measure that would eliminate a lot of the collisions if bicyclists and pedestrians saw someone signaling it would be very easy to do that yet we see no action on it. We would like to encourage being considered part of the first five, because lastly, we have asked, were going to do a resolution on it which gives grant for bicycle Traffic Enforcement in some areas of the city. Getting a grant to test out and the other cities are doing it very successfully. Its a fraction of the cost of a motorcycle and we would like to see it thank you. Next speaker. I am a School Crossing guard at 19th and judah, i represented the guards during our contract negotiations. We have been lobbying for more than a year since the mta informed the Transportation Authority that there was a shortage of guards in this years contract negotiations we were told there is still a shortage by about 28 guards, we believe giving the crossing guards more hours, right now we only get 2. 5 per day. If we get a couple more hours in the midday and the afternoons, that would help with Traffic Safety and help retain more guards, because its a 2. 5 hour split shift and its hard to get people as was mentioned obviously, the police on the parking control cannot be everywhere. We are not trying to take away any work or substitute for them just because we are lower pay lower paid. We could be more of a help. Because of our contract negotiations this year, we missed the dead the budget deadline. I am hoping to maybe plant the seed for a smaller program, maybe 1520 guards at the most critical intersections. We are ready to go almost immediately, from a salary of 21 per hour its not too expensive. During the contract negotiations at the Mayors Office they said safe and clean streets were the highest priority, their spending an awful lot of money on keeping them clean. Despite that, i wrote to the Mayors Office and never got a response, i am hoping though, that there might be some way to get some money together for an interim Program Vision zero or the various other things, or maybe someday the uber tax. I had emailed the mta Board Members and none of them responded. Two paraphrase in todays language, those who save one life save the world. I hope we can be part of that group and get some sort of interim Program Going if there is some money left in the budget somewhere. Enke. Okay, just for your information if you want to speak about what you spoke about, right now, please wait for general Public Comment. That one had nothing to do with this report. Sorry. This report serves and points out derivatives of the topic. First of all, i want to point out how the Police Department demonstrated top class selfcontrol when a female driver of an automobile was driving very recklessly. Hitting numerous cars, and actually caused damage by hitting a pedestrian. By the same response, none of the cops fired one bullet, which could have resulted in the death of the female victim, or perpetrated defendant that was driving the vehicle that was in front of the Tenderloin Police station. My point is, this is an example of how you need an increase the Mental Health services and a location where a person mr. Wright . Lets stop for a second. Every major last Public Comment, i made it a point to say that if its not related sir, sir, you have a tendency of not being competent on my demonstrations. On my last demonstration just let me finish wait mr. Wright. You are saying it is not related and it is related. This says to rock severe injuries overall. Give us a minute. It is related to the topic pertaining to injuries that people have in the system that have severe mental disabilities. Okay, im not done yet. My time is not done. Im going to point out and respond to you how this is related, okay . Topic number six is talking about the Police Department update on report and the number of tickets on vehicles with pedestrians. Its related to vehicles and pedestrians because the vehicle was out of control and the police demonstrated selfcontrol and did not murder the person driving the vehicle. Im pointing out how the driver, the female defendant had a mental disability and if she would have got the services that i am saying that should be in place, that situation probably would not have been in place and it could have been prevented, sir. You see my point . Now an my can i continue police i dont want my time taken away. I need a minute back on my time. 16 seconds. Furthermore, the interruption you said is unprofessional, and your demonstrating and competence is not the first time you have did that. Okay. Thank you, mr. Wright. Thank you. Any other Public Comments on this item . I am seeing none. Public comment is closed. Mr. Clark, lets call number seven. [reading items] good afternoon. Thank you. Jamie parks over at cr livable streets divisions which runs our Capital Projects. I want to provide an update this afternoon on what we are terming our Quick Build Program which is a term we came up with a few months ago. Its really a continued evolution of the way we are delivering vision zero projects. Ever since we adopted vision zero in 2014 we have been working to deliver projects, Safety Improvement continuously faster. This is the next generation in the process. We will start by really echoing what the chair mentioned at the beginning of this meeting, 2019 has not been a good year for vision zero outcomes. In particular, i may not have the numbers exactly right. There was a. In late february where i think we had five fatalities in the. Of 10 days. I think i made it clear to everyone that the process was not coming fast enough. From a letter that the mayor sent to the director on the board, directing the the mta to develop a policy to move forward with Safety Improvements faster. Over the last three months we have put together this Quick Build Program to respond to that challenge. There are a number of aspects to this, so really three things i want to highlight, for the approach. One is overall streamlining the approval process for Safety Improvements, second is increasing our emphasis on the quick build projects, projects we can deliver faster with city crews and oncall contractors. And then finally, and importantly, Additional Resources to make it all work. Funding is not the only piece of the puzzle, but it is a critical piece of it, because without the additional funding the other pieces do not work. I want to go through each of these really quickly and then if we have time for questions im happy to take them. To start with, our Current Practice or where we were starting from. Our outreach process for typical projects takes 1218 months or even more in a lot of cases. We have seen a lot of benefits from that in the past particularly when we were talking about a project for several decades. We need to make sure we have all of the details correct. Through those processes we have worked through resolvable issues with the public. The challenges, we cant move as quickly as we would like, it doesnt allow us through that process to field test new designs, or, continue to adjust projects after they have been installed through our current process. The policy changes that we took to thes mta board, looked towards creating a process that was a lot more nimble and efficient where we could install safety treatments that were proven to be effective immediately. Adjust them over time, then come back to the board prior to implementing or approving Major Construction projects area the challenge with all of this, is as we are moving faster we need to maintain the same level of transparency and accountability we have for all of our projects. Talked a little bit about how we are doing that. On june 4, the mta board passed a set of policy improvements related to the Quick Build Program. It really did four different things. Complementary modifications to the transportation code in terms of how those projects could be approved. It created clear requirements for mta staff for accountability and transparency and how we report and deliver these projects. And then they approved a set of specific locations where we would be implementing quick build projects in the coming months. In terms of what a quick build project is. The primary thing to think about is these are reversible and adjustable improvements. Whether its paint and posts or moving around the parking meter or adjusting [inaudible] these are the changes our city crews can do. So we can adjust over time and that are not permanent. The Quick Build Program, the projects that are adopted are limited to a 24 month duration. They need to become permanent or make permanent adjustments to them. The mta board also changed the way the projects are approved within the transportation code allowing a set of specific approvals that typically require mta board approval to be approved by the city traffic engineer after a public hearing. It includes things we typically do on a lot of these quick modifying existing bike lanes, putting in stop signs. There a public hearing notice in accordance with our public hearings and requirements. How we solicit stakeholder throughout the course of the implementation of the project. I think youll hear more about our evaluation programs, couple of items from now. After before the 24 months expires. They would need to provide the ultimate approval for any improvement projects or any instruction activity. One of the things the mta board did do is a pipeline of projects, making sure that we are always delivering and developing new quick build projects. There are a set of 10 projects that we present to the mta board and i think april that we committed to. They are listed here, to deliver in 2019 on june 4, the mta board adopted a set of additional five quick build projects listed here on 7th st. Golden gate avenue, howard st. Leavenworth and valencia street all major streets on our high injury network. For us to deliver as quickly as possible likely early 2020. That is the length of the corridor. Sometimes we measure things and centerline miles, sometimes we do it in lane miles which is a total number of lanes. Anyway, its just the length. We could probably just call it length and make it easier. [laughter] we will work on that. The last thing i wanted to mention in this presentation is all of the things i just talked about require Additional Resources. We have been working really hard with staff over the last six weeks or so to put together allocation request that will be coming to the commission in july. What this will allow us to do is move forward with a lot of these projects and make sure that we are hiring the staff necessary to deliver them. He mentions that a lot of these quick build projects are delivered by city crews. We need to make sure as we are developing the project that we have the painters on the sign and sellers in place to deliver the projects. That is what the allocation request would do. Also i wanted to mention a number of onetime cost as well in terms of trucks or materials. A painter cant do very much work unless they can paint the spread. Those onetime costs cant generally be covered we are looking for funding for that as well through the citys general budget. That concludes my summary of the Quick Build Program and where we are right now. [inaudible] what kind of impact has this had, if any . I know it is soon maybe . What kind of impact that we had from quick build projects . Even though we didnt start using the term quick build, this started in 2017 when mayor lee issued a directive around vision zero projects and told us to deliver three protected bike lanes in three months. We delivered seventh and eighth streets which are protected bike lanes in nine months. Comparatively, a project like Second Street which is just now finishing up as an amazing project. That has been 10 years in the making. We can deliver 8090 of the safety benefits in a matter of months through the quick build project. We feel it is an important tool for us to deliver vision zero as quickly as we possibly can. Thank you for your report. Any other questions . Unseeing none. Thanks. Any Public Comments on this item . Come on up. Good afternoon. Thank you for this opportunity. I am the executive director of walk San Francisco. We are the only pedestrian advocacy working to make San Francisco the most friendly city in the nation. As you are both well aware, we rely heavily on vision zero and this is something we are pushing for every day. Weve also been reminded today that we are not on the best path for vision zero. We are doing Everything Possible to help encourage to be able to do things quickly with paint, posts, test, designs particularly for pedestrian safety. We are in full support of this quick build approach. We feel it is costeffective and results driven. One quick example of this which jamie did not highlight but i would like to highlight because i think its impressive its artie in the ground. Taylor street we passed this project in 2018 and the Capital Project will not be started until 2020 but their paint we have already implemented this quick build to reduce traffic speeds and take away a traveling. This is a fantastic outcome. They do need more paint crew to be able to do this. One of our big concerns is not the quick build also has a time for basic maintenance and things that we can do in terms of refreshing crosswalks and paint projects that we dont want to get pushed to the back burner. We think this is really important that they have the resources to both do the big projects like the quick builds but also can do all of the maintenance that is necessary. We do support this ask from the prop k funds, but we do want to question whether it is a great idea to borrow from future prop k if its a good policy or not. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comment on this item . I am seeing none. [reading items] good afternoon commissioners. I am the vision zero outreach coordinator. I will be giving you an update on our education and communications. We have radio and video prepared for you so hopefully it plays. This is a quick slide of what we came to present last time we were here. A lookahead of campaigns to look forward to in 2019 and the next slide we will speak more to it. This slide you have in your packets is just an idea of the types of metrics that we collect each month around education and communications. These are our metrics for the quarters as of midjune. Im going to explain the next line. If it works the video will Start Playing and it features our campaigns that we launched for the quarter. In april which was distracted driving Awareness Month and we launched our campaign. May wasnt Motorcycle Safety month and we launched the third year of our office of Traffic Safety Motorcycle Safety campaign as well as a driving to date campaign. The video should play. We have our pedestrian yielding campaign on the streets. There is no sound, but you can see the video running in the bottom right. Just give you an idea. [music playing] great. [laughter] the next few slides we want to share our around developing multilingual materials. Before it was vision zero it was safe streets sf. As our brandon started to develop, heres an example of our old brand and then this is the current vision zero brand you see today. These are Promotional Materials from our program which officially became an mta program today. Weve heard a lot about our Motorcycle Safety campaign which is in our third and final year. As one of our biggest education campaigns is around speeding and we created this is in chinese. Of course, this is the Senior Safety pedestrian campaign which we are working on sharing regionally with the city of san jose. A video that played earlier, this is our brandnew campaign that we launched in may we created videos both in spanish and chinese. [music playing] i apologize music doesnt change. [laughter] last one. When we were at the project level we tried to develop multilingual materials, that we did last year. On your left you will see our vision zero safe spot posters that are currently being sold right now. They started last weekend and should be complete this weekend and are in 150 different locations throughout the city. On your right you will see examples of our materials from our postfatality outreach cards from our Crisis Response team and also the memorial posters that we install. When we are at community events, farmers markets, libraries, sunday street these are the multilingual materials we have. Sorry. On your left, you will see comment cards in spanish and chinese that were developed specifically for the communities these cards are not available in english. I also wanted to give you an update on our chinese focus campaign which is part of our deliverables and our Action Strategy. Here are pictures of us in partnering with chinese hospitals in chinatown at their healthcare. Speaking with our patients in getting more information. We will also be working with our department of Public Health partners to see how we can get even more information to create a culturally Relevant Campaign that speaks to the chinese population. With that i will turn it over to my colleague at the department of Public Health who will speak to you about safeties for seniors program. Thank you. Come on up. Thank you for the introduction.
