>> 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 you.
