as a department ear challenged by technology that is required in the dvd and to acknowledge through the computer you've seen it that hundred percent it took place but 80 percent is a good number and after that video came out we realized to the advocates they can attach it to their website as well not long after we released that i did an i think formal inquire and found they were not educated on the vision zero and our role i sent everyone in the department an individual e-mail getting to vision zero by 2024 improvement and education wherever they can what happens in our plod monthly district captains 80 are the target the

highest collision intersection focus on the top factors to those orders are based on static data derived from issues in the link and they again have their resources focused on those high collision coordinators and those factors also the traffic company the citywide enforcement they summit the vision zero wherever they can special prargsdz we've done again around center issued a hundred citations around the most at risks populations injured and so forth we have done education components within the centers

themselves teaching seniors and children about traffic safety since december of labor we did a block to block enforcement operation the goal to clear up the intersections to allow the cross traffic to get to their designation as well and since then we've issued 33 hundred citations in regards to that deploy we've issued a lot of citations we worked and have a great relationship with the highway patrol and done operations with them the newest form of radar we use it for speed informant and it the daily operations when they can and then i've mentioned our joint traffic safety operations with the chp and been very

fruitful we've indicated a lot of people with the issuance of citation if you want to call it that education and we i've mentioned our education and outreach bicycle and pedestrian for the center monthly and district community meetings and we've reached half of the district so for 2015 we'll reach the other half i will personally come out and talk about the traffic safeties 2015 as we implored we're going to expand on the crossing guard program i believe supervisor yee came and pushed forward i was a according guard hi was a kid it taught me it's a win-win situation and when the kids get home the students are crossing wlaern it is a great program we've had a lot of fun and

schools want to get on board with that we are going to continue doing what we're 0 doing and can't do enough to educate we issue citations and next day issue as many citations we have to get the message out to the public for the education other means of outreach excuse me. and we're going to continue our enforcement other than the senior center there is a later slide as we droild we determine speed is the number one issue that leads to those collisions we're really, really going to push to get more radar operations with the chp around speed and i touched on the next item okay what happened then in 2014 it

was before my time we came up with the 5 factors that is the riddled stop signs and the pedestrian that fail to yield on the left turn and you'll see in the latter data this is a lot of data in the slides that stop signs is only in effect in one district and the fourth primarily collision thing not in the top 5 we'll get into that with the data and again i apologize there's a lot of data to give a shout out to our loan analyst karen that put this together with a mri idea of data resources to make something that make sense so here we have the 2014 san francisco government audit & oversight commission u citywide breakdown of citation issuance and we're 83 at 24 percent of

the steernz they're in there and another large number the number one issue was cell phone and tint driving and april was distracking driving month the distransacted driving leads to outlet issues our biggest category as it is every year as others that includes the 4 hundred and 50 code violations that people while driving this is the mode 2014 is obviously the most complete data it was not complete we collected mid year around 2013 and going forward i predict it will get

better bless you. >> as you can see 201494 percent of citations were issued to drivers of vehicles whether motor vehicles or cars and one percent for bicyclists and then again, here's the by showing what - who we gave citations to this is self-explanatory 2013 versus 20142014 was the highest number of citations by the san francisco police department because everybody was focusing on reducing collisions which is one of our preliminary responsibility facility and traffic reduced collisions and reducing crime in general as you can see we had quite an i want in numbers and the left turn is

somewhat of a difficult violation to catch in the act those numbers were down everything else was up 44 percent up from the year before for the first quarter of 2013 and 2014 the last time this information was not available we're down 22 percent year to date and red light cameras we issued hundred and 29 plus thousand citations and other red light camera citations the red light cameras are down some were taken down because of the construction and the timing was changed by the magnifying i believe based on compliments i'm not sure why down two percent and a big component is our traffic company was involved in a lot of things that took them away from their

citation writing responsibilities here it is broken down by station every district captain power point presentation and the data is there for them to read interpret and decide how to move forward with traffic as you can see some are up most are down and the totality is down 6 percent in citation issuance the first quarter and then here we have the focuses on the 5 first quarter 4 versus 15, 2 percent official down in city numbers but less when we're focusing on the 5

that is interpreted to mean we're focusing on deeply on the top 5 primarily collision factors this the the same data a little bit easier to read and again, all the captains were provided with that here's a pie chart showing the top 5 primary collision factors it will not change much going forward in 2015 the next slides will show you what we're focusing on and here it is citywide as you can see 75 percent of the citations goes to the 4 hundred and 50 violations in the book this is i can't where we're focusing on 2015 those are the causes and based the data from 2014 and as you can see it is broke

down down by police district of the data captured of collisions again as you can see overwhelmingly unsafe speed is mentioned citywide 40 percent and pedestrian right-of-way is 16 percent and we go down to red light violations 15 unsafety turning 14 and starting and backing is 24 percent we won't change much from 2014 to 2015 but whatever the citation we'll pull the folks over and the collision data the most important thing will will come from the law enforcement slash pedestrian we'll reduce it

overhead the numbers for collision severe injuries up the most important fatalities are down 5 of percent and never good it should be zero now but we're not there the upside is that the categories that are up they're down in pedestrian and bicycle injuries they're up in vehicle injuries if that makes sense so i see that as a positive but again one death is too many so i know you have a lot of questions there are a lot of people that what answer them and a lot of people to follow up further on the presentation as well through the chair i didn't catch the number you read of the citations for don't blocking the box and over 3 thousand. >> okay. i heard the 3 and

think i noticed that you know in 2013 we saw 23 percent of all citations were the top 5 that led to driving behavior in 2014 it is only up 24 percent but citations went you up that's a blues and i'm curious about your thoughts i know it is a commitment last year we would get as close to 50 percent we're focusing on changing the behavior of what we thought were the deadlyer behavior that leads to the facilities and our thoughts around that and any reflection for the 2014. >> yes. i believe that you'll see the numbers rise will we be at 50 percent i don't know and but richmond will be and the

captain dedicate and has the luxury of officers just to do traffic and pretty active team of officers to write as many citations not every district has that luxury and certainly traffic could be more of a priority right now we're dealing with vibrant crime the homicides are up over the years and dictate balance they're focusing but again, i've sent this power point preservation to them and they're going to have a sit-down not only me saying you've got to do more but everybody saying you've got to do more and again there's no down side to reducing the numbers of collisions no reason not to get out there and

educate through the enforcement so hopefully, we'll see the numbers rise but i cannot predict 50 percent. >> you think that is important to hit the 50 percent goal or it is the citations are appreciative. >> we hated the reduction of collisions and certainly the reduction of serious and fatality collisions is the most important oneself and the most at risks groups people walking and bicycling and children and the elderly we need to see o numbers go down and as far this year we haven't. >> i'd also noticed that there's been a decrease in the number of citations in certain precincts not on the west side and not in the tenderloin it is great to see but i'm concerned around the

reduction at central and southern those two precincts have a lot of the high injury corridors the 60 to 50 percent how is that conversation going we certainly don't want last year to be the big announcement it fell in the list of priorities bay u by the way i'm sympathetic the police department has a lot of exceptions that the community has so i'm not a blaming statement but how to keep up the level of energy particular we know a high amount of injuries. >> you know southern station moved that may have effected the numbers. >> okay. >> i've had the conversation with both captains and they seem ready willing and able to

increase their numbers and the captain at central i'm proud of him i think we'll see the numbers rise there. >> another question around the mobile handheld devices i know that sfpd will be receiving from 2015-2016 from the safety routes to school program. >> regarding handhelds? that's the number i got am i misinformed >> - >> hi with the self-healthy two grants coming online this summer with mta and the dpw for the sales force such a routes to school a third of the budget dedicated to the san francisco police department for $3,000 for

enforcement for city hall's on high injury coordinators. >> but not necessarily going to handheld devices and in the other grant was with mta only to do the enforcement. >> sorry i think it is important we look for grants to field funds for handheld citation devices for sfpd. >> we all are smart phones our coy is attempting to fund the citation from the smart phone this is the granted program we went through mta and hopefully add back that one. >> supervisor if i may i want to add a couple of wants you raised about the data and the issuance that arises one thing

that the police commission did to include a wraerl report back to the commission on the data and partner with the department and walk sf and the brought to my attention coalition we meet and look at the trends and it is a model in terms of collaboration the bicycle coalition says we don't understand and all that information is presented to the police commission to our point policing is reactive there are trends and the key with vision zero you laid out well, that is 2024 and keeping our focus and not letting it slip as other priorities come about in continuing to have those excellent data presentations it is my belief we've gator part of this is

educating the officers with the data and that will take time but i think commander madding iblgs is good in explaining this once you turn on an officer to start they don't get to pick the citations the ones their seeing not focused on ts 5 their told to enforce the only way to keep the previous on to look at the data we do that quarterly as a commission. >> thank you commander. >> and one thing with the blocking the box the example the imperative said the majority of citations are not more blocking the box but illegal uterines or turns to get into the blocking the box that's the citations

they're writing right now. >> any other - >> so i believe san francisco municipal transportation agency and the dpw whatever order. >> supervisor wiener has a question. >> oh. >> thank you, madam chair commander maddox thank you for the presentation and really gathering this data and taking vision zero to so seriously it is terrific i want to raise an issue with you i know it is a broken record that's double parking nermentz of what been haepd around double parking enforcement we had a hearing and we heard from sfmta the double parking enforcement is declining this is

disappointing i know that the mta is going to be coming back soon what a plan in terms of how to wrap up double parking i'm curious to know whether the police department is it is much, much easier for the police department to enforce double parking instead of sfmta but maybe both did not have an important role to play and double parking plays in vision zero, of course, double parking is a huge problem with muni reliability but a lot of double parking takes place in bicycle lanes it forces bikes into traffic and reduce the viability if you can give us an update with the biking authority. >> right now.

>> yep. >> i didn't put it into operation but after that hearing i put out a message as a priority throughout the city to cite not only warn but i explained this is - and get the violator to move along to issue citations i don't have a calendar on the citations we don't track parking tickets not that i'm aware of. >> but again, i pushed that message out. >> i understand i'm not expecting it right now but in terms of your general sense do you have a sense that there is increased activities within the police department on those issues. >> i can't the answer that today you know again i'll remind the

captain that it is a priority in our as we reach the goals we're work towards the goals of vision zero again, a priority but i noticed double parkers everyday i know you do are they out there with him punt sometimes they are. >> i appreciate our reminding the captains ultimate they have to execute they're short staffed and we're working hard to get more traffic enforcement but double parking should be part of it that release ems places a an important part i forgot it is hard to catch people in the act but double parking is easy to catch people in the act thank

you. >> good afternoon supervisor cohen and supervisor wiener and supervisor kim i'm sammy sfmta enforcement manager like to briefly talk about the gridlock citations that are enhances enforcement we call it don't blocking the box that our patrol officers have the authority to issue we have the authority to issue two different citations or for violations one is gridlock intersection gridlock and the second is intersection gridlock turning and the data before you shows

that when we first started the enhanced enforcement pilot back in july of 2014 we focused 6 days during the giants game days july 3rd through september 11th with approximately 4 to 6 parking enforcement officers as a result of that 6 days we focused primarily on south of market and the bay bridge during that period of time we issued 5 heed plus citations now we come do december i want to focus on at the hearing that was held before december here at this committee we talked about

beginning an enhancement enforcement of don't block the box beginning on december 4th of last year to focusing on thursday and fridays 4 to 6 parking control officers we issued from december 4th through april end of april 3 thousand 5 hundred and 14 gridlock citation so the numbers are going up again, our goal is to insure we increase public safety and minimize the intersection blocking and look at it stream and down stream to make sure that improves crossed traffic flow and i think once we measure it

once again we hope to do that either in the summer or the fall that the numbers have xhochd. >> can you repeat number of citations. >> 3 thousand 5 hundred and 14 between december 4th and the end of april. >> and then you said they preliminarily preliminarily operates thursday and friday. >> from 12:30 to 6:30. >> how do you select the intersections i know their throughout the south of market and the approaches to the bay bridge. >> so through observation we work with the bike coalition to get the locations they've been concerned with and complaints driven by the public and so curling we've tried to

develop some consistency with working first first and harrison for market street, third street mission and we've also moved to other locations but again, the concentration is on first and harrison to build consistency and will improve down stream as well thank you. >> thank you. >> you bet. >> and again we'll continue this effort until the end of the year and measure our success and determine how we go forward. >> with that any questions. >> thank you. i building supervisor wiener has a question no okay supervisor kim. >> no questions thank you very much any other departments presenting on this item. >> department of public health.

>> dph. >> i want to recognize elaine short an epididymis i thought as one of our vision zero commitments. >> thank you very much i wanted to apologize on behalf of megan who couldn't make that here she was originally going to be give this presentation she's unable to due to illness thank you, supervisors thank you for the opportunity to present on all our work of vision zero so as command maddox
