Doing. Ok. So, those were four actions from our safe streets category so as you know, there are 58 total actions across our different buckets of work. Those were just four highlights. If you have any questions about actions i did not discuss, im happy to take those questions. Moving on to safe people, safe people is not intended to be work unto itself. It compliment programs and fill gaps. Im going to use some of the highlight action to discuss precisely what that means. Safe people does not work in a vacuum. It truly compliments the Engineering Work were doing and helps the community to come along with us in understanding why were doing the things were doing to those streets. So number one, this is also from the mayor earlier this week. A goal to think about left turns. So left turns are 27 of our fatalities in the last three years. Theres innovative work in this area and were duplicating elements of those and were piloting these safety treatments at eight intersections. Were working with National Safety experts to see how all the things that go on in your brain when you make a left turn which is way more than should be going on when you make a left turn and how we can contribute an education method to see how complicated it is and makes you think this is both complicated and i need to make sure im looking for another human being before i complete this maneuver. An Education Campaign will compliment those safety interventions. This is funded through the act of Transportation Program grant and so we have about 2 million over two years to support this specific program. We are first in nation to facilitate training transportations with San Francisco motorcycle riders. Safe people isnt here to supersede any other work but from the perspective of Traffic Engineering we have limited tools in our toolbox to address motorcycle safety. They are smaller and they are much more vulnerable. Were trying a opportunity to think about how we can were working. How we can address some of the fatalities that were seeing. It has been extremely well received by the motorcycle community. My understanding is we offered a training and it has more people on the wait list than can be afforded in the training. We worked with the Police Department so the Police Officers are actually training motorcycle riders about defensive maneuvers. Its been a really wonderful program. This is funded out of the california of Office Traffic safety grant. The point im trying to hammer home is the vast majority of our safe people work is grants that have targeted towards this effort and cannot be used towards some of our infrastructure programs. So we apply for and were successful and weve done the most we can with the limited dollars that we have in these spaces. I believe the next slide im going it turnover to meghan. And the powerpoint is working so you are good. Im disappointed i enjoyed standing up here with you. Good afternoon directors, chair. My name is meghan were. And i have the honor of cochairing vision zero and working with sfmta and sfpd, our city and Community Stakeholders to realize vision zero and our city. I worked on the issue of Traffic Safety for San Francisco for a decade. Im continually inspired by the progress we made but also humbled by the tremendous amount of work we continue to do. Thank you for highlighting this at your meeting today and for your continued leadership. So the next slide i wanted to talk about, some of the work the department of publichealth that is responsive to the needs of seniors as the most vulnerable population which she highlighted in her presentation. Seniors are much more vulnerable to dying when involved in a crash and the department of publichealth has been doing sustained outreach through the stay straits for senior programs engaging senior as well as Senior Service providers through presentations, materials, Community Workshops anden gainment around vision zero and how to get involved, how to communicate feedback to the sfmta and how to stay safe and also Funding Community based organizations city wide as well as in the most impacted areas to further engage around vision zero. Next i want to talk about the Critical Role of the Police Department and focus on the five for vision zero which has been a focus since the beginning of vision zero. This is focusing 50 of traffic citations and the five most dangerous driving behaviors that we see continually contribute to our fatal crashes in San Francisco. Thats speeding, failure to field to pedestrian, redlight running and stopsign running. The captain who is here and available for any questions at the end. We really wanted to highlight the recent Critical Initiative that the Police Department has launched with having motorcycle officers dedicated to focus on the five enforcements. That will be nine total officers. Theyll be exempt from other students that will bdepartments. To date, the team has written over 500 citations. The majority of which were of course for the focus on the five crashes and 75 for unsafe speed. Which we know, when we look at whether or not someone survived the crash, speeding is the primary predictors. In addition to cochairing vision zero, im also the lead for developing comprehensive data systems in our city. I have a small but mighty team and the department of publichealth that enjoys the privilege of working across the city family with the Police Department, m. T. A. , the medical examiner, the fire department, e. M. S. And also our partners at San FranciscoGeneral Hospital including trauma surgeons and nurses that are responding to these severe crashes on our streets everyday to both improve our surveillance, to monitor vision zero and also better understand the data to inform targeted prevention efforts. Im going to talk about our work to update the High Injury Network using linked police and Hospital Data. We were the first in the count introduce to link and mass Hospital Data to capture crashes that were not reported in police data. For a cyclist that is 40 of severe crashes were not in police records. This is significant. It really matters. When our cityfamily is given to data driven prevention efforts. This is a High Injury Network thats been something that has been replicated nationally by other cities working to achieve the ambitious goal of and doing the most to save lives. Last year we released our first report on severe injuries using our hospital and Trauma Center data. This is really important because when understanding the distribution of severe injuries, we both want to ensure that were capturing the most comprehensive universe of severe injuries but also partnering with our hospital allows us to use clinically determined severe injury assessment so we know we have a better handle on these trends. This work foss our monitoring and also of course goes back into our High Injury Network and leads to critical findings such as that 20 of severe injuries are to psyche lists and another 20 are to motorcyclists so again informing where our vision efforts are being targeted. In addition to monitoring the 58 actions in our Action Strategy we have some critical key metrics that are also monitored on an annual bases related to of course our fatalities but also mileage improved on the High Injury Network where that mileage is being improved as well as some Critical Metrics with respect to our safe people initiative. Of course, the city, we hope has demonstrated is using all the tools that we have in our tool kit to eliminate deaths and reduce severe injuries on our street and were engage in National Best practice. Theres some tools in our tool kit that are not available to us right now and that informs our transformative policy agenda which im going to talk more about that as well as our focus on complimentary goals with other city initiatives that we need to collectively advance in order to reach vision zero and just have the San Francisco that everyone has been working towards. But this work is a focus on equity. We will not reach business zero if we dont advance equity and address the needs of the most Vulnerable People on our Transportation System. As it was described in the opening presentations, people, seniors, people with disabilities, people walking and biking, low income communities, this is where our fatalities are concentrated. These are populations from a health perspective. Theyre vulnerable toll traffic deaths and to a whole post of high school healtaswell as other Transportation System. Through a focus on equity, we will prioritizing and monitoring improvements on our highinjury network. Working with our policy at police and other colleagues to ensure our vision implements culturally competent engagement and also our Surveillance System that helps us understand these issues and what more do we need to do. This is our transformative policy agenda focusing on automated enforcement, pricing, and reducing vehicle miles traveled. For example, it would be accomplished with congestion pricing and also local regulation of Transportation Network companies. These policies address both speed. What our robust tools that could have a seismic impact in San Francisco reducing deaths and lowering injuries. They also impact on vehicle miles traveled. Theyre essentially how many peach are driving around our city in single cars. Thats because the more people driving on our streets, the higher the risk of injuries. With respect to automated enforcement and the speed limit setting vision zero is thrilled the state currently has a task force, the zero Fatality Task force. My colleague is the San Francisco representative on the task force and give the honor on being on the Advisory Committee along with jody ma deros of walk San Francisco. They have met so far twice and will be releasing a report at the end of the year. Urban speed limits are set on how fast cars are traveling. In some locations, for example, los angeles, when city traffic engineer and support of vision zero tried to lower state limits, they had to increase them because of the way that speed limits are set. This task force is looking at what are health protectives speed limit approaches that are supportive of a safe system. Right now the task force is looking both at an interim shortterm solution that would work within the current structure of speed limit settings that could make changes that would be consistent with the changes we know for vision zero and a longer term study that could inform a more comprehensive revision of urban speed limit settings. It will look at automated Speed Enforcement and making additional recommendations to the part of that approach. Were really grateful for this opportunity to engage with the state around these critical changes for vision zero. And then also, our latest strategies really focusing on the need to add chance complimentary city goals. As they create safer streets we have safer conditions for walking, bicycling and transit that we know is also critical to the reduction and the reduction and driving that we need to reach our Climate Action goals, to reach our mode shift goals and reach our transit first goals in this city. We also know as we saw with these statistics with respect to homelessness, issues of housing and Affordable Housing are really critical to achieving our vision zero goal and were working across the city family to better coordinate with respect to how we can support each other to realize a safer San Francisco, a healthier San Francisco. That concludes my part of the presentation. I just want to thank you again for your leadership. I know every mta Board Meeting focuses on issues critical for us to realize vision zero and thank you for the opportunity to speak today. With that, i know tom mcgwire has closing remarks. Just to wrap this up, because i think the twosubject Matter Experts have covered it in great detail, the two observations i would add is that we are fighting headwinds not just here in San Francisco but nation wide. Nation wide, not just population of jobs are growing but vehicle miles are growing faster than population and jobs and were losing ground in certain areas. These trends are going up in many cities including San Francisco. Were not alone here. Also, the issue of people experiencing homelessness being directly affected as victims of traffic fatalities its a huge concern of d. O. T. Nation wide and one of our five fatalities victims are homeless and that is on the rise nation wide as well. In that sense, were trying to achieve and drive down traffic fatalities to zero at a time when the factor is they contribute to fatalities are working against us. That said, were absolutely committed to vision zero for five years and this board has made several moves to push us further. Project delivery, we have a quick build initiative back in the spring and were going to continue to bring projects to you including the seventh Street Project that we delivered last month and were going to keep using that direction you gave us to try to transform streets more quickly and finally if the mayor adds this on friday, were working with our Police Department to really get laser focused as well as deliver lots of nearterm pragmatic tools, some of which we discussed here extending walking times and new signal lights intersections, new corner red zones and turning all that stuff out as fast as possible. Were not here to say that the strategy that they presented is the end all be all, were not here to say that were necessarily waiting for this hearing to take quick action. Weve been trying to accelerate our pace of action since you renewed your focus this year and were excited to have a further conversation with you. Very good. So, directors, i think we have some Public Comment on this item. Is there questions first . Questions that would be great. Maybe, i know that someone from the Police Department here. I would love to hear them talk about the new unit and officers dedicated to vision zero and the goals for meeting some of the targets that havent been met for citations. Good afternoon, everybody. My name is luke martin im the current acting captain at Traffic Company. So you want to know a little bit more about the unit were starting just to give you a background. Ive been with Traffic Company for two years now. So ive been monitoring a different capacity. This june, i took over as the captain, as our former captain was promoted and after kind of examining the numbers i noticed a steady decline in traffic citations. We were hovering just right about 50 on focus of the five violations. I think theres several factors that have contributed to the decline and citations, im more focused on how to improve. The first thing i looked at doing was forming a small group of our officers and took away some of the youve tasks tha ote detailed to. We investigate collisions. We respond to different protests and demonstration and other events that happen in the city as well as help out other districts with Traffic Control and things like that. I took all those responsibilities away from this small group of officers and just had them go out to highinjury corridors and just hit focus on the five violations with the emphasis on speeding. We got the team up and running right about the end of june. So from then until now theyve hit 500 citations with probably 99. 9 focus on the five. Heavy emphasis on speeding. It was kind of a pilot program. I wanted to see how it would go. We started talking about it more and more and apparently the mayor heard about it. Wanted us to increase our staffing for that. We just added five additional officers to that group so theyre going to be hitting the streets doing the same thing this other group is doing. Thats a little background how it got start and why it got started. Some of the things well try to do. Another thing, ive been getting feedback from those officers about different issues on the streets. Got another light bulb and going to try and work with the sfmta and get with their engineers and our officers out there doing that and see if we cant have dialogue with the issues theyre seeing that might be addressed. Is there anything specific that any observations . Is it too new to bring it up . Specifically i dont have anything on hand. One of our officers brought that up but
