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 combinin 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 thank you you guys for focusing on the role of enforcement and vision zero i think the citation data is telling and great the sfpd is working towards the goal to have citations reduce bad behaviors and encourage for improvement

education in chinatown extractions we have worked with the pd officers to educate the pedestrians on the focus of the 5 behaviors so we see the high injury coordinators and have pd either responsive to the communities have expressed the close calls is not saying this is a high injury spot but we have that h heap where the policing efforts we're hoping this leads to safer conditions. >> thank you. okay is there any additional public comment on this item if so seeing none, public comment is closed. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you. i want to make some closing comments i

appreciate this update from last year actually historic hearing with the police commission how we do traffic enforcement and how we are working to change did culture and san francisco police department around the priority that we've committed to you wanted to thank everyone in this room actually for their work on this this is or it is work we'll continue to do and make sure we continue to keep the urgency on this issue even when the issues are not in the limelight i'm excited about the mercedes benz will be able to utilize data into that's incredibly important and i look forward to working for a better improvement to collect the data in a knowsly marijuana and innovative sfmta

to the next public safety meeting to talk about the don't block the box this work will continue we're happy to see a reduction this year and the facilities, of course as commander maddox said one is two of but we're reaching our goals citywide it is great we have such a cross section of stakeholders where our city departments and police department and communities working to make vision zero a reality and thank you to the members of this committee they've been huge champions and i don't know if the president wants to make closing comments. >> i want to say thank you. >> thank you for your leadership and pushing with the department and that's it thank you. >> supervisor kim would you

beneficiary for us to have a better understanding of what the plans are you know there are different reasons for the plan one thing i'd like to do is to have a conversation wherever it is appropriate to figure out how this fits is the one larger housing strategy that the city has i think that given the gravity of the housing crisis those kinds of questions you know what do we do when the city owns land are questions we're going to have to raise more frequently it is something that would be a positive thing because we have to figure out how to leverage the limited resources we have for the purpose of building more affordable housing in that spirit in which this
