wyoming can help us. so at this time i'll open this up for public comment on item 4. if you want to speak step forward and line up on your right-hand side. good afternoon, commissioners i'm with the san francisco bicycle coalition. we're very excited to see the progress made in a short period the tragedy in the richmond district drives us to advocate for more ambition action. we want to commend the mta on their diligent work in establishing the accomplice of zero vision this is in a epidemic we're president the

hard data this is will be the best way to achieve vision zero and we should prioritize geneva and all corridors that are in dire need of improvements that he want to make sure that the necessary safety improvements and i believe that you as commissioners can help us achieve that. so that we can achieve vision zero on our most dangers street we'll continue to work with the city families to achieve that >> thank you. >> good afternoon nicole snider i want to thank the public health department for the data

driven solutions we're excited they're going to be implemented by january 2016 and an evaluation exponent to eliminate our high injury corridors. i also you know i think that we're asking a lot of the city that's the basis of vision zero. and i want to highlight of the importance that you all plays in your mta commission and your other hats in terms of leading the charge on policy changes we understand that policies change behaviors and encouraging of making policies that discourage bad behavior help to get us to vision zero. how progressive do we want to be with the 24 projects that are 33

projects which is great. how initiative do we want to get how much more do we want to do look at golden gate and do signal timing or lane changes and combine them with data driven engineering solutions so i think those are questions for you to consider and work on changes to sequa in the coming year or two with the planning department and motivating mta and the issues around complete streets and developing complete streets to help project coordination >> thank you, ms. snider for

your suggestions seeing no more public comment it's closess. this is a list of pilot designs it will be in discussion i certainly appreciated ms. snider's suggestions how far what we push the programs the corridors we've identified are the right ones but can we push the envelope maybe we can have meetings now until june. one the process and the second piece is funding and if there's a need for funding we should understand what it costs it will save us money and lives to

prevent the accidents we saw today. i know we have another board of supervisors committee meeting that will be starting shortly so i'll save the rest of my questions for another time but again, it's great to have the discussion over the next of you months call item 5 >> item 5 education and public awareness this is an informational item. >> we have john the transportation planner at sfmta to present but before we do that i want to give supervisor yee a chance to make comments. >> i'd like to delay my comments and wait for the presentation. >> okay. great. thank you >> good afternoon. i'm john with the municipal

transportation agency. and i am let's get the power point up. i'm the lead on the education subcommittee and wanted to quickly with the mind to some of the time speak to the two reducing resolutions recommending e relating to education. our subcommittee has been meeting in the form of the public safety education committee to help to develop a yearlong education safety champion to launch in june it's incorporated everybody you see here as well as advocates and other industries. it also should be the place to bring everybody he together for coordination. coordinating our educational efforts is not a place to a veto

ideas and tell various departments what to do but growing in the same direction and we have a comprehensive understanding of what efforts are underway and talk about the education and why we're doing that and the common understanding of the education campaigns i have addressed this by the number of activities whether the police department having the district stations that are running campaigns or the relationship too the public health department e.r. the mta advocates or the environment departments we're doing a lot of coordination we're running bicycle educations that are not kwrptd between the bicyclists

and the mta we've run through any pedestrian safety campaigns if you're running a campaign and it ends and there's a last year gap if we start wanting to get to the culture change that supervisor breed was discussing earlier i think all the best data shows we need a sustained effort to start educating people of what's expected on the street and highlighting the enforcement efforts, etc. and it's a key to the pedestrian safety and encouragement program that's the partnership with the police department it's a partnership with walk san francisco. we have the t organization and other staff attending meetings with the program. we actually have funding specifically for enforcement to

fund additional police time on the street that ties into the campaign and they'll both reinforce each other. the other educational issue that was in the resolutions was related to large vehicle we've had a working group that has met since the end of january and we have individuals on the mailing list and 40 have been showing up to attend our meetings. that group hopefully, will be making a short and middle recommendation for solution for increasing safety who walk and bike around trucks it's the hope by the beginning of may we'll have a documented report to send to our body to start working on. there's a lot of support i think it's important we've not heard

any push back more needs to be done. we have fedex and a number of colleagues and city departments or every city department that has large vehicles is a part of the conversation working with the city attorney's office to require training for large vehicle users. there are no as part of the driver training it's not related to driving on urban streets and a lot of support for creating the curriculum the ta will have an opportunity for the curriculum it's right now didn't law schools looked like it exists in the country and holy

hoping p that will become a model going beyond all the city's and implement it statewide and be an trucks a unique place where a lot of them the safe way drivers will be involved. light to many of the points that were raised earlier today we have the program we're looking to expand beyond the pedestrian safety but to include bicycle safety and driver safety to this is what we're looking at hopefully, a partnership of the city family to develop the exceptions and start to explaining how the projects that was mentioned easily their

bringing up obey the liveable city we want to live in so in light of the safety to build a better place to live rather than the negative impacts of slowing down traffic. with the eye on time i'll cut myself short. >> thank you, mr. white. i'm real happy when you're talking about the education piece of this we're looking at more holistic comprehensive piece like vision zero as a whole when you take the elements to get there working together whether engineering or enforcement or education. and when you take a separate item like education if you were to just take one element of that

and just look at pedestrian that's the best way to educate people on this issue then you forget about the other two larger groups go so you're absolutely right if we're going to do education we need to target drivers and bicyclists. so the only comment i have with the diagram with the subcommittee i feel like one group that needs to be highlighted would be the san francisco unified school district. they there's a couple of reasons for that. most of the education and projects that if you look at the activities by lead agencies will be focusing on adult and not necessarily our children. and by having the unified school district there which serves the

largest number of children in inform we could maybe get them involved in seeing how they could start the education process at an earlier age and when you have the safe passages that's in partnership with the san francisco city anyway i've been working with the school district to implement or bring back the old program of the students being safety guards safety patrol gaurtdz. the only one school that started it that will be starting it soon but the principle calls us back after two weeks and said not only did the children participating at safety guards learn about safety and getting coaching and lessons from the

police officers but it's changed the culture of the people driving through the intersections. and when a one of the things that helped change the culture there were police officers there that helped to enforce our laws and gave a few of the parents tickets and having a few of the parents getting tickets their all of a sudden slowing down additional actually letting people cross the street without rushing through there to save ten seconds to drop off kids. it's why the unified school district should be on there >> it's a great recommendation we'll make sure their added. supervisor mar. >> i'm in total agreement with

supervisor yee but our district like our community police and sf safe are launched by commander sharon when she was in charge of the office but i'm hoping that community and stakeholders includes effort. i go to a lot of pta meetings and as supervisor yee is menacing see they'll be a key group as well. thank you for your work >> thank you. >> i don't think so any other comments. any public comment on that item? okay seeing none, public comment is closed. i'll turn it back to supervisor kim >> item 6 is the introductory of new items.

>> are there any new items today? seeing none, let's move on to public comment item 7 >> this is general public comment and if one wishes to comment seeing none, public comment is closed. i wanted to thank the colleagues and members of the public for coming to our very first subcommittee of the transportation authority. i'm enlisted about the dialog and hopefully about the outcomes we're to push and see for more coordination among our departments to make the city safer we're all pedestrians at one point or another. we've had interesting questions hopefully, we'll continue the dialogues and the next meeting will be in june and it will be great great to get a response in

terms of looking at the project delivery to my left timelines and the role that sfmta can play in enforcement and how we can fund and really resource this policy to become a reality to get to zero everyone. thank you and meeting is
