reiskin and the director of transportation here and we're gathered here to talk about safety in the streets of san francisco, and the reason that we're talking about safety in the streets of san francisco is because everyday -- well, not everyday, but every year we have people dying in our streets just trying to make their way across town and last year the city leaders came together with our community and decided that we were no longer going to tolerate, we were no longer going to accept the fact as a reality that people have to die in our streets every year just making their way across town so the way that we manifested that is by the adoption of the city that we're calling vision zero. what that means for us is a goal to eliminate all traffic fatalities in san francisco by 2024. it's a very ambitious goal. it's now those city policy and it's really a

statement by the folks who are here and many others in the community that we're no longer going to accept the fact that people have to die this way in san francisco, so with the adoption of vision zero what we want to talk about today was moving vision zero from a goal and policy into action, and that action is being driven by many of the leaders who are standing up here with me and they're being lead by our chief executive so please join me in welcoming the mayor of the city and county of san francisco, mayor ed lee. [applause] >> thank you ed. good morning everyone and welcome to our dpw yard, yeah, a lot of memories here, a lot of memories of a lot of garbage, a lot of things but i want to thank muhammad and the public works for allowing us to

use this site, a site where a lot of infrastructure is the center of everybody's work, but it's also because infrastructure is what we're doing today in the whole city of san francisco on a very high level, and this is why we have a lot of departments working as ed said on this vision zero and make sure we implemented it in the most aggressive fashion that we can. we have a lot of projects identified and we're no longer talking about twe're in the mode of implementing these programs and one thing that came from the advocates that are here standing here along with the many departments as well in this collaboration of health, of public works, of mta, of the police and fire departments, of our disability advocates and division of the mayor's office of disability including the

community based advocates is that we need a continued sustained very serious education program, and this is the principle reason why the california truckers association is right here today with an example of their rigs and their commitment to working with us, the entire private sector and the utility companies and others working with all of our departments with a program that is designed to focus on at least for the next two years a very deliberate effort to look at the way our urban large vehicles are traveling and going in and out and through our city and neighborhoods. this is important to us because we realized that at the very start that while there maybe in terms of numbers of collisions less each of those collisions are very severe whether you're a bicyclist a walker or a senior

or a family that if you're in the unlucky situation of having engaged with these large vehicles your chances of coming out of that is going to be very, very little, and we realize that this is one of the most important things that as we are experiencing a very strong economy in san francisco with all of the developments, not just downtown, but in our neighborhoods, people rehabbing their homes, small businesses rehabbing and from fires and other disasters or the local neighborhoods or in the downtown corridor this is very important. i know supervisor kim this is one of the most important things she said to me as we experience large number of accidents in the last couple of years that we have to make a much more serious effort. all of the advocates said the same thing so it's been my personal objective that we

had with mta and dpw lead this effort with police and others and not just to slow down traffic, not just to get congestion out of the way, not to decongest the boxes but we also have to make sure that all of our utility vehicles in the city whether they're driven by dpw or ecology, whether a trucker delivering their goods or picking up goods, whether it's ups, fedex or whether it's the large truckers that are coming in in to go to safeway and lucky and it is farmers and the produce markets and others that we all go through a very specialized training. today we're announcing a large vehicle urban training program, driving training program that we will ask there is a special certification, special training that is conducted that is

embraced by the truckers association and others that we make sure this training program adheres to the special needs of a very congested urban setting like san francisco. this is what vision zero recommended. we are implementing that today. we are requiring all of our truckers be they city employees or the private sector go through this training and make sure that the drivers themselves understand how to go through a very congested urban setting and pay very close attention to the pedestrians, to bicyclists, not just having the right to go through a light, but taking the extra precaution just as we have been training our pedestrians. doesn't matter what the light color is anymore. you've got to look both ways. you've got to understand that people may not be paying attention. the congestion in the streets and intersections are so high and

people are distracted with so many things we've got to pay attention to a higher level of safety in the city and that's why i endorse this effort. i am proud of all of the departments to begin doing this in a very deliberate way and we launch this program with a strong aggressive education program that should last a long time. truckers and others change all the time, schedules change all the time but the safety has to be at the highest level and as you're trurning corners as you're going down the corridors and out of construction sites or into them or at the store picking up or delivering each of these situations has the ability to hurt someone, and we want to everyone to be that much more aware. police chief just told me we're lucky. the month of january we've had no fatalities

pedestrian or otherwise due to traffic that. is a good start. [applause] just a start but it is a good start, a start that we're proud of and we need to repeat that over and over again and february and march and all of these months will continue this very strong effort but if we do this education right, if the drivers of these large utility vehicles pay attention even more we have that better of a chance to have this record continue throughout the other months. if we have the strong coalition of people working on the next idea and supervisor we commit to the next idea as well to continue this effort we will have a safer arena in district 6 and so much construction and delivery is going. good economic activity is not to be krit suicided but the lack of paying attention to safety has to be criticized and

educated and has to change. this is a commitment we made and it wasn't just any kind of a campaign slogan. you know we're putting serious dollars into this to honor the voters investment of over $500 million in our transportation, $300 million of it will go to redesign our streets and alley ways and all of the other areas where people are going through to begin but we start by saying let's renew the driving ability of large vehicles where people really if you encountered them in a negative way you just don't have a chance so it begins with the drivers themselves saying we're going to committee -- commit with the city. we love this economic time but we're going to honor life in this way and i want to give thanks to the california truckers association with this and they're going to help us with all of the others in the city and lead the way with the proper
