. >> that's obviously the first part of 2014. 12 are currently active and only one is inactive. of the closed cases 6 received citations and 43 were booked. our closure rate 49 total cases submitted to the district attorneys office. and 6 filed as misdemeanors and on 6 citations were subsequently issued and only 2 were diss missed our misdemeanor driving while intoxication closure rate we had 90 percent that were filed and only 10 percent dismissed and i apologize i don't have the hard numbers on that. our traffic company administrative functions there's some assignments that we fulfill on on a daily basis that the general public and some of you folks may or may not be aware of. the youth guidance center traffic court on wednesday and we operate a public service window at the traffic company and adjudication and provide tow hearings and our administrative staff issues citations and issued to . >> >> yes in fact it's glaring that the aggregate number of collisions is not being presented and that's simply because we're still a paper driven process and we're trying to make certain that all of the systems that are in place are in accordance with one another and i met with the office this week to make certain that some 6 thousand collision incident reports -- 2014 are in line with what we have in our crossroad system the crossroad system is an incredible tool because it allows us to make a distinction of persons involved in collisions and basically gives us the tool to identify where our problems are what type of behaviors are the most problematic and to be able to put resources there according ly and our effort is to be as transparent and provide the public with as much information as possible and what's in front of you is actually a summary of each and every traffic fatal ity that we've had up to date and there's obviously a time factor here we don't want to give information out as soon as the incident occurs that may jeopardy ize the investigation and we want to provide the public with as much information as possible so that they are informed as to what behaviors are out there and what areas of the city are concerning clearly with many of the operations that we've done with the california highway patrol we focus on van ness avenue we've had 4 pedestrians killed on van ness avenue this year and that's unacceptable and as we put more resources there we hope to to curtail that activity and the same with the back to school enforcement. using our partners that are going to consolidate volunteers to go out as well as having no nonsense motorcycle officers out there we're going to give people tickets that don't listen. >> suffice to say it's moving from paper to having real time data is essential so there's those parts collect it analyze it and use it and it would be great to see the number of operations at the next report around school facilities and senior zones i'll also be walking my 3 kids to school on monday so i'm glad you are out there and using the data and thank you for your continued partnership on this. one other piece of data we want to look at going forward is the percentage of citations to focus on the five. >> yes. >> i know there's a lot of interests that you are looking at and that would be a good data point going forward. >> actually i can offer that to you now. >> of course you can [laughter]. >> we're at 22 percent and currently at 24 percent so you know when you are talking 66 thousand citations those 2 percentage points are significant in terms of of the actual number of citations ised for those areas. >> yeah and we feel like they collisions are so preventible and so enforcing on those behaviors is something we hope that's going to continue to get great results. thank you chief for prioritizing it. >> this has been a collaborative approach by the walk san francisco and bike coalition i want to thank the police officers the numbers are down and the numbers of statistics are up and talk about patting somebody on the back -- the numbers speak for themselves here the numbers are way down thank you chief and commissioner it's remarkable and can only get better. commissioners, anything else? >> i know we have that joint meeting i guess it was -- what was it? >> our reports -- do they get a copy of our reports? i know we talked about the proposal about zero and all of that anyway we'll share them with them. >> absolutely we're making these reports public. >> i'll make sure director gets this powerpoint. >> commissioner? >> is there anything that the folks in the bicycle coalition want to add to this? >> sure. . >> it's your last chance [laughter]. >> you can't leave. >> oh, i'll be back. >> thank you commissioners.
