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 dominated a

lot of dictated that sfpd collect a key component is the evaluation of preservation activities in the city those four goals are listed in our two year action strategy the first are no way to expand the transbay monitoring for targeting and monitoring elevating data and as supervisor kim mentioned development of a comprehensive injury surveillance system i was hired on in december we'll be piloting the transportation related injuries vanes bends of this year and finding it to be added to transbay also to expand evaluation targeting the resources and

looking at employee and post data collection for key initiatives and tracking the progress of the interventions also to expand the web presence for transparency accountabilities and monitoring and tracking of impact of the interventions so the police department is a valuable and key partner they're a lead agency with within vision zero and as seen in command maddox presentation they hold two part of transportation data that helps us when is the traffic violations being sited and when and what those impacts are on injury and death also, they hold a key of the fatality data so we can answer who is

being injured and killed and when and how and where to target vision zero efforts and see if those efforts are effective this is a snapshot of where we're at with the data currently as commander mentioned district level reporting today we would like to be at location level reporting so right now the technology that their utilizing didn't have the ability to collect the location information where the visitations are being issued i believe that everyone was at the san francisco county transportation authority vision zero committee hearing where there was a budget request for this thousands for the citation project which would transition from handheld citation decides

ask r devise to phone basis that allows the collection of the information when the citation is being issued. >> why is it we can't do location reporting it sites the intersection where they give you the ticketed and the data imputing issue the vast majority is still written by hand. >> oh. >> thank you. >> and just a snapshot where we are at with the fatality data currently fatalities we have know portal for the public and city agencies to assess with our injuries and i'll be talking about fatalities in a little bit more with transportation

injuries currently there's a data delay we have gaps in accessibility we're working on to address the main objective of my position to ultimatum both like those help out patterns to have knowsly and assessable access for city agencies to access data and the public in collaboration with the police department and mta along with dph we've developed a protocol dph and mta and the police department meet set at one table and determine what traffic fatalities were recorded to

vision zero and those are based on a uniform case definition so we have consistency and adequacycy in transparency and monitoring of death in san francisco due to travel so this table summarizes the number of traffic fatalities through march of this year which is the most current data we have available from through the police department and the medical examiners data so this model segues into what we want to do for transportation injuries as well this traffic facility protocol would we've got a pilot of transportation injury data

we have some challenges with police data with twitter that is over a year lag which is the key input in data evaluation and strategize with interventions there is we'll have crossroad in the future hope to have access to that with the duplicate but right now their feinstein listing contractual issues and we will wait for that data but there are- they have been data gaps identified through past research from you ucsf and 20 percent of pedestrian injuries

and pedestrian injuries have not captured with the police department injury data so part of my position is using the trauma registry data and using that with the police data to have a better recommendation of the collisions happening on the san francisco streets and combining think that with the emergency room and emergency medical services data to fill those data gaps and lastly i wanted to also mention transbay so with the development of the transportation surveillance system ultimately that okay of that data will be posted on transbay an open source web-based property owner hours over 2 hundred mapping of the

important transportation and health data which is utilized by several city agencies and has been useful in- i don't know if this is the right presentation. >> as an example the transbay was used in the city's data driven process for public safety for walk first that allowed for the evaluation analysis and injury patterns in san francisco to identify capital safety improvements priorities in the city pretty much. >> great that sums everything up thank you very much. >> that's the last presentation i have a question

first of all it is great to see the outcome of the funding from last year how this is going to hem translate the evaluation methodology is a key part of understanding how the collisions and the fatalities and injuries are occurring i know that part of the focus of the program to establish a consistent way to total the fatalities can you talk about that in a in a nut shell we've got numbers from chp and mta i think for a layperson that is challenging to understand i'm hoping you can breakdown that a little bit. >> i mean a that's the purpose to get a proper traffic fatality definition together additional at first, it is counterintuitive

to death; right? >> right. >> in the past 3 months we've met there's a lot of circumstances unpredictable circumstances that happen on the road you know we have so have consultations to homicide we don't include those in vision zero and additional if the death occurs outside of san francisco or outside of 71 jurisdiction on conflicts freeway we don't include those deaths as part of vision zero we're tracking them and you know our hope is that at some point we'll engage the state conflicts but with engineering improvements they can't do any improvements on the dproi freeway although at ramp

intersections it is a ingress or egress ramp to a city we've including those in vision zero death or traffic fatality reporting. >> we had an individual that was killed up on harrison last year thatcalifornia train. >> is that the primary differential it occurred on the freeway it is not within the jurisdiction of san francisco over and over it was a homicide or suicide are those the main 3 categories not included. >> yeah. we also are not including underground fatalities so bart or muni underground

we're tracking light rail vehicles and plan on you know assessing the data from mta, muni above ground traffic fatalities as well. >> you do include those. >> yes. >> not below ground. >> yes. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you seeing there's no further go department presentations we'll go with public comment on item 3 is there any public comment? please come up to the podium. >> quickly. >> and we'll have 2 minutes. >> thank you. i'm richard i personally know the person that was hit underneath the bridge it is sad there's a lot of shuffling and blame who is responsible and not obviously caltrans is applies by

the city so more to that if the police were more intune to watching the traffic and may not be not the homeless doing weaver they're doing it probable would be more safer if they are paying attention to the traffic accident not people trying to get on with their life we get tickets for being where we are not supposed to how can you not be in areas that are only in areas that contain rocks and grass it seems to me didn't that doesn't make sense they can help to save people's lives and thanks or things not because of us i guarantee if you check the amount of tickets to the homeless it is way higher than the people in traffic.

>> good afternoon. my name is unlike i'm the executive director of walk sf i want to thank you for being here today and especially want to thank commissioner president loftus and supervisor kim for calling this hearing you know i wanted to take a step back and look at it last year and how much we've accomplished i know some of my highlights have been back to school enforcement glitches around the enforcement that happened other than broadway that led up to jean parker and van ness enforcement after a severe fatality crash and the police department is stepped up to the plate and their definitely working hard and i think the leadership has

been incredible and i want to thank commissioner president loftus and commissioner fewer chief suhr and are commander maddox for modeling what the rest of the department should follow we're seeing that in the terms of the numbers of citations being handed out exist part of vision zero is that it is strategic we're not looking at just increasing citations over all we're looking how increasing citations prevents dangers and death and increasing that percent of focus on the side is really important of station area is really strapped for improvement making sure that the improvement that does happen happens in a strategic manner it is enforcing the 5 most dangerous traffic

behaviors is that is the preventive part of enforcement i also want to jump off what richard. >> through the chair i'm hoping you can finish our comments and have a question about the 50 percent. >> sure yeah just bouncing off what richard said and mrs. williams who lost here husband he was talking about that finest and the number of citations for things that are not as length overlook the advantage of focusing on the 5 we're not unjustly disproportionally focusing on the groups that are more likely to be in a traffic collision we're not necessarily picking on people that are low

income community and communities of color to ticket the things that kill people you you know what those things are we need to focus on that and the last thing to highlight is that as we move forward and we get go through this next budget cycle we want to support the data sharing ask that the police department has proposed and the data sharing that will come out of that then we'll actually know where the citations are happening and free up the traffic enforcement capacity so the data is being evaluated by dph and their time is spent doing the police time of their report again, thank you all if i have any questions. >> i asked the question of commander maddox we're all asking about the incident in

citations particular to drivers i think that there's a lot of concerns about the pesticide and bicyclists but how important is it to achieve the 50 percent where the overall increase in citations are. >> i think xhoouf the 50 percent is the most important thing. >> more than the increase in citations. >> yes. i think there's both obviously important but the strategic part i know i can't speed anywhere on the street if i do i'm going to get a ticket that's the behavior we want to effect telling people they're going to get tickets on haven if they speed and delivering on that is exactly what we want and maybe our police department doesn't have the capacity to do that many citations we need to

look at automatic speed enforcement i think the city has committed and holy sacramento too but that changing that behavior and making it clear to the public we're serious about failure to yield speeding is responsible for 40 percent of traffic fatalities. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i'm mr. williams i'm willing letter williams wife i lost my husband over on fifth and harris that was unsafe for the city for them to have the plazas there unsafe and for caltrans for not having a wall and not having the

there's a lot of ways it could have been pretend where my husband and him and i could grow old together that was instead of putting the barriers back they put up a wall a retaining wall also have a hazard sign before you're entering our exit to let you know there as sharp turn on my way to this meeting he went over to get one of the homeless there and there was an accident at this time they hit the wall almost they hit that barrier and they drag it to the park instead of telling the homeless they can't be there it's illegal to be there i don't understand why it is when it was it is unsafe for pedestrians and cars anyone that is at that freeway they put

the lights up and arrows but don't have a speed to slow down where you're getting off my losing my husband is a big loss and nobody wants to take credit for my loss including caltrans and the city and the drunks drivers i know there is no where survive from a drunk driver i see it on tv all day a drunk driver end up in our house awhile you're in bed. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm the executive director of the filipino-american associations i'm here to speak on behalf of the tour bus legislation that the mayor recently signed into law and i was at the golden gate

park for an hour and some minutes over the weekend i saw no less than 3 tour bus drivers. >> sir we're actually not taking public comment on tour bus legislation. >> i'm not specifically speaking about that i'm wording. >> i'm sorry i've been corrected. >> i'm wondering whether how it is being enforced number one and number 2 whether including the enforcement of the citations being issued to tour bus drivers and their rating could be in the police reports we could have it evaluated. >> supervisor wiener i don't know when exactly the mayor signed that ordinance but the

charter takes effect thirty days after the mayor signed it i don't think it's been thirty days since unless i'm. >> you're probably right the mayor signed it the 24th. >> so thirty days until it's in effect. >> i think if we included in the report of police department they'll have a way for enforcement thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> thank you, supervisors for holding this item on the agenda i'm number 3 for enforcements by commander maddox thank you very much commander maddox for this enforcement it is important for dissolutions i serve to represent public safety needs of seniors and people are disabilities the one fatality

that occurred as far this year was in the richmond district under the richmond police station and how can we coordinate krufks awareness in the data of where enforcement is needed and encouraged in that district since that is a high percentage of seniors that own property in the richmond both in district 6 and district 4 a high number of seniors own property we need to have a constructive impediment to insure that the enforcement is being carried out and conceptually counterfeited for seniors and people with exact date we have right there at the intersection of geary and awe computer the new 8 years the aging facility how do we coordinate on geary street only

a crosswalks not a light it is important for seniors and they're what is described in several plans executive directors on public safety vision zero and the better streets plan seniors are vulnerable pedestrians along with people of exact date and mothers with children please we have to have constructed and engaged data on enforcement in district. >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> i'm katie i've been involved in public safety since 904 and i'm so excited i'm really heartened i want to thank you suzy loftus for putting attention to this people didn't

get existed about public safety it is explorer but i'm glad to see it the recognized and thank you, supervisor kim for bringing this to everybody's attention i want to make a couple of comments i'd love to hear information from mr. sammy how they selected the intersections the question you asked supervisor kim feedback from the biologist coalition i'd like to know details around the kinds of observations and how to look at the bicyclist coalition and how they deal with the public complaint i'm going a i'd like to know when are the citations go going to be stopped written by had an

i'm excited we don't have to depend on twitter i'd like to get more up to date day thank you very much for pay attention to public safety. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm alice rogers suzy loftus i'm here to clear lead i appreciate the phone call on vision zero and this is incredibly important to the neighborhood it was a lot to take in today, i can't comment intellectually but the data gets boiled down into digestible sectors that we can transfer to our neighborhood so our neighborhood can help participate and inform your ongoing with work today, we're having a vision

zero presentation at our neighborhood association it is a program we take seriously so keep it up thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi i'm anthony i want to offer a street level prospective prospective as someone that rides my bicycle i observe and i know this is a huge job but trying to enforce those things but i think anyone who drives knows that speeding is 24r0r7b9d universally 10 or 15 miles per hour we know that is a major factor in the fatalities so that needs to be addressed more so perhaps a speed camera and also i also i'm very 45er7b9d to see

the focus on vision zero i do wonder we're teaching children and seniors will transfer safety when we have drivers driving unsafely constantly know they'll not face consequences it needs to take placed towards drivers and consequence if someone is kindly we need a district attorney that that prosecute people that kill people with vehicles those people go on not only do they noted get jail time they're driving again on our streets. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors my name is ann angela with the chinatown organization i want to
