to be a busy time as in anyone's memory as we try to get back to full staffing and the data breakers they started other 8:00 a.m. on sunday no alcohol no vehicles back packs are relegated to make sure we/r had the water check points up and down and more officers and security and us and the event organizers want this to be a city event there be will people on the routed and there's a lot of kids on the data breakers we're hoping inform a for a safe event as they're in the penalty phase that was not long ago we have the boston booming it was in our minds and

as great ass a job nothing can substitute for hundred thousand runners looking after each other and say something along the route there is plenty of personnel to say something along the route i'll yield the rest of my time for the presentation. >> colleagues as commander maddox if you want to get set up i'll do the brief introduction colleagues as you recall in may who were hear this commission passed a safe streets that laid out the exempting commitment to the acknowledgment that the dedicate are happening in the pedestrians and inherently preventive from accident to collision and look at the data driven approach to make sure we're doing everything we can

for the opportunity for the department to update us with the idea we were just with the land use committee what was it monday commander? yesterday i don't know we were it was monday and the idea that a policeman can be realistic and researchers is dmroiltd dloilthd curling we need to keep an eye on the numbers to make sure we're seeing better results to make sure our streets are safer i want to recognize nicole from walk sf and the bike coalition in advance of the presentations we go over the data it is a great that project sponsor

>> commander maddox. >> commissioners, i have a power point presentation and commissioner president loftus stole my first slide. >> in 201335 people 34 excuse me. 34 were pedestrians so what we did in 2014 as the department we decided to really embrace and support the citywide goal of vision zero zero traffic facilities fatalities by 2024 and the district stations are focusing on the preliminary collision factors and additionally, the collision intersections that are occurring within our districts so this is really why we're here moving on what we've done and

what we're doing i'll get into and i apologize in advance i'll have a lot of data in january of this year with the help of walk sf and the bike coalition the police department put together an educational video so the police officers can learn what vision zero was and our role to date 80 percent the department has been confirmed to having viewed that video in february to make sure everything saw it and knows our role in reaching vision zero i sent out a memo to everyone i mentioned what happened then on a monthly basis each district companionship capita creates a plan targeting the high collision corridor and

those are the main things that cause collision and when he initially started this project we went or remember that statewide data for street lights and the pedestrians failure to yield were the primary and in a later slide we've drill down and determined each of station has unique collision factors but speed is the number one in all district so special enforcement operations we've done and continuing to do we've done many prarthsdz aroundthe vulnerable i have a lettuce if you want to know what schools and senior centers who've gone do monthly meeting to talk about what the vision zero is and our efforts to again

reach zero traffic fatalities when i 2024 we have partnered presidential with the california highway patrol in group efforts targeting again, the vulnerable population pedestrian enforcement and operations what we'll have having had issued a lot of citations and when we issue the citations we're warning the population against the various laws. >> since december we've done a don't block the box and to date over 35 heed citations blocking the box and it is all an effort to facilitate to clear the evacuations i crosswalks and traffic flows throughout the city lighter we're in the works working with the mta to increase

our number of a new generation of speed enforcement to get more. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> enforcement operations that will require training and additional coverage that again, the mta is putting in the grant we're anticipating receiving that shortly we also have a program in the city i've participated in this one a a traffic safety program i don't know if you're familiar a middle school kid acts as crossing gardeners to warn triple a runs a program and supervisor yee embraced it and perm went out to 3 schools that want to get on board. >> slide 3 what we're going to do is pretty much to continue what we've been doing and again in increased effort especially

in area speed and drill down i'll show that speed is the number one provided reducing those okay. and i talked about in a slide you'll see the 5 primary collision factors that are preliminarily decided when we got into vision zero you'll see in one the slides we've determined that stop signs are really not one the top violations happening in san francisco you'll see again bans primary collision factors data that we're going to be changing that and it is about data collection it not easy to get the data tonight we're working on that and going forward able to track data in a better manner working with the ceo to get the traffic

and collision data 2014 the department issued over hundred and 2 did thesis citations you'll see that we're still at 24 percent focusing on the 5 remember that original 5 that was decided when we initiated the commitment to vision zero and. >> and could you remind us the 5. >> we based it on information provided via mta and they used twitter data two to three years behind and doing initiative things like education and all the e's involved we wanted more contemporary information and gone through a third party

vendor that provides timely data and they were up to the end of april for the data it is timely and it is self-explanatory again, the top 5 24 percent another good percentage are cell phone citation and distracked driver's leads to other issues maybe 6 will be color to reaching our goal quicker all 2014 the same data breakdown by mold 94 sizings e citations were issued to callers and pedestrians and one percent to bicycles pretty self-explanatory. >> by charts i was told you like by charts showing the same

thing. >> okay. here is a comparison of quarters i like i like to compare data to me it tells me a better picture when you see where wisp and are in fourth quarter you've not seen the last presentation including the last quarters so this is 2014 versus 2013 we started tracking data in the middle of 2013 so it the not fair the data is not that accurate as it could be so the fourth quarter very accurate 27 percent in 2014 we wrote more citations our department has in documented history we're not great at documenting data before that okay red light cameras never count in the total we show them

to see where we are we're issued 13 thousand red light cameras citations we're down 2 percent here we go comparing the quarters by station now this entire presentation was sent to each district capita captain to see where we were as far as in their standing some up and some down ex-richmond 12 percent there's are increase but they've over 50 percent of the goal that was created to reach 50 percent focusing on 5. >> can i ask you a question. >> i indicated richmond has

more resources it's not a particularly place whether there is vibrant crime but is there something unique about richmond beyond the legislation here. >> you know i didn't attribute it to you talked to the captain silverman of richmond he dedicates officers to do traffic i've explained to other commander that is how he awe attended his goals it is staevenl a little bit less crime better to be safe than sorry but we're down on staffing here so again, he was call is a luxury the dedicated officers to do traffic enforcement he has

tenacious officers that like to write tickets and this is on the subject overall - i also see the increase is dramatically (inaudible) the captain on those issues. >> well, i i know that he donna does a lot of pedestrian enforcement in the tenderloin and failure to yield to pedestrians is a focus think the 5 i also think that came up there was a particular low number of citations so there's an approach in collaboration with the folks.

>> it looks huge an t percent increase. >> overall the number is far less than many of the others stations i'm concerned about it the trend that are ongoing that will soon overtake ingleside that is next to bay area. >> if i could just you're seeing the tenderloin numbers are going up we're bumping it for more officers. >> thank you chief and commander. >> sure. >> here's the focus on the 5 station by station the first quarter of 2014 versus the first quarter of 15 we're decreased two percent on focus on the 5 any questions about that data?

a graph showing the same data stations up some stations down it is each captain is given a copy so they know where they stand with the other stations maybe it will endid you say healthy connection >> here's another chart showing the focus on the 42015 that's what we're writing the first quarter so again? so helpful you start off saying the number one cause is. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> is it so 24 percent of the focus on the 5 traffic saved citations so there are there

efforts underway to speeding issue. >> in the richmond it take training not everybody uses it we're working on train more officers on the equipment and ref for devices the numbers will go up they're not going to like the next slide it is 75 percent of our sizing are from other violations there's 4 hundred and 50 other issues for violations 75 versus 25 percent is what we issued in the first quarter. >> can you explain to the commissioner how many of those violations are lesser included in the lesser 5 and following two closely and right in i think the top 8 you have other

violations that we are innovate capturing particularly but should be illegal turns we've been looking at the governor nixon and issued over 35 heed citations the number one is illegal turns as opposed to blocking the box and other violations we're capturing at the time, we see the violations going on. >> for instance, when a rear ender the tag might be for following two closely but the reason your too close is speed so the reason you hit the person if behind you're going too fast we're going to be going forward trying to figure out by bachelor, if you will, which ones all fit in where they are supposed to go it the appropriate to put following two closely in with speeding as part

of the focus on the 5 their may be subsequent reports that attribute to each headline, if you will, we cruel capture the number of tickets that are related to the 5 primary collision factors. >> so the overall report the focus on the 5 is breakdown by the category the lesser included. >> our recommended categories. >> might be a heading that size speeding other than a basic speeding ticket but following two closely and on and on. >> that's another visual request as to citation to do the same thing not lump the pedestrian sizing but we'll continue to violation of law ♪ process of having again having the data gives more clear picture and the other way the

land use you've explained this was a culture shift in the 44 percent of citations this was a mafias shift in operations between 2013 and 2014 when i turn that bottom open our endorsing the traffic code it everything those are the most dangerous but if you see something else their enforcing the laws of the road that shifts occurs >> for instance, in the earlier slide a two percent decrease in the first quarter versus last year this is the all-time high we're still you know do you only what we were in 2013 were only 20 percent off in 2014. >> it's a matter of 6 thousand sites that's the difference so, now that is probably my favorite slide this is the

preliminary collision factors broken by station the unsafe speed is 49 or 45 percent. >> 43. >> and pedestrian right-of-way collision two and red light anothers 15, unsafe turning 14 that's all turns not just left turns that's the failure to yield on the turn section you can make a right turn with the same errors and unsafe backing out i had that happen on the way here you see only one district has stop signs bayview is number 4 it doesn't fall in the data anywhere else questions? so we've had this conversation is aligns with the 5 on the data

that mta data from 2012 that was bans the twitter status >> twitter. >> that's what we are looking to face are the preliminary collision factors are mostly the same. >> it came up at the hearing in january of 2014 there were more stop signs more types of enforcement but helpful to understand. >> those are the collision factors the citations. >> right. >> those are the crashes that happened we've termed what caused the crash. >> so going back to bayview stop signs telling me more about this factor why it is unique to bayview. >> that's the sheer numbers the analysis are broken down the the

vehicle section and within the stop signs with respect the 4 primary i don't tell you was is a failure to at a four-way stop. >> it come up with reference to stop signs in the tenderloin not a lot of stop signs violations one stein in the same place but in bayview it is prominently controlled by stop signs stop signs but i had the data broken down i minimal this data is helpful to the captain at bayview to understand this is a at the scene violations to do data that's the idea. >> and the analog helps us to

identify the top intersection in the districts it paint a good picture. >> okay. sounds like driven policing. >> that slide is about the collision fatalities are down 56 percent year to data and severe injures up one percent and complaint of update bless you. >> we're up to i think 8 now and 11 at that point last year i like about what i derive from the data are we're down open pedestrian collisions and bike collisions those will have to do

with motorcycle or car your the captain and i are here to answer any questions. >> thank you, captain i should have recognized you other questions sorry commissioner turman. >> just a couple of quick questions thank you by the way, commander it was very thorough i'd like to hear about the block the box to highlight people listening at home could you talk about how it operation works and what is the effectiveness. >> it was rocketed the traffic was not flowing in the downtown quarters up to the bay bridge in december we got together and came up with a plan that our parks and beaches unit will take the area around city hall and block the box and make sure the

directions r are clear and the traffic officers company k will take the area around brilliant street along supplementing with the dp t parking tithe on the end and parking tickets on the upper end all the higher intersections and second and it is no shortage of violations the idea to keep the intersection clear you can't pull into the intersection without a clear view. >> the parking street supervisor yee has embraced it seems like an excellent idea to have the awareness on traffic rules with younger people get them involved and hopefully stays with them to the point

that they become drivers is there any effort to work with the unified school district to roll out the greater numbers it seems like a great program. >> it was a triple organization program you wouldn't or 70 years their activity in the city and supervisor yee wanted to bring it to more schools and he has and more schools are getting on board as well we're involved in supervisor yee components and triple a has a flushing program we're not involved with their program we come out and train with them. >> we help train the children at the request of supervisor yee to facilitate 3 schools under his program and several more online with the school district they would like to train the triple a program has 9 kwlz schools a

mixture of particular colonel schools and supervisor yee is focusing on unified school district and elementary schools specifically thank you virtual captain a point out point of clarification not that we like by charts commissioners and i like by anyone at home that is present to bring by. >> that was totally any joke (laughter). >> anti arraigns colleagues anything further off i'm sorry commissioner mazzucco. >> can you explain the relationship with mta and the department of parking and traffic i see your traffic is pour gridlock in downtown speeding is not a factor there

is so many destruction sites and block the entire intersection and who can issue those citations because pedestrians is really walking across one or two serious issues including strait enclosures can what do we do in conjunction with them. >> staplingly was at the hearing and presented their data over 3 thousand as well so they issue a parking ticket when you pull into the box question issue a moving violation they are only to issue parking type ticket we issue the pedestrian type of ticket and the game even though. >> how about they move the traffic through to prevent the

traffic and protect the public safety. >> i'll discuss it again dp t is a separate entity they used to be under the mta commander but they created their own division now and i - >> people think it is still under the police department so that's why i asked for tonight. >> i have seen them another intersections directing traffic at 8 and bryant before we kicked off the block the box so maybe it is effective and transmission i'll find out. >> chief suhr i want to go back to the blocking the box campaign it was created a lot of safety issues so frustrated drivers were hedging the lights and pedestrian were regularly as the command stoking spoke they'll
