of pedestrian and traffic fatalities and the improvements by our own parking control officers addressing goks and finally, the evaluation of the area we've been doing quite a bit of close work with the duplicate with the data protocol to track our statistics in vision zero as you no doubt remember it was dated in san francisco that macy's makes as us unique that is the streets we're talking about with the bicycle and traffic safety improvements and in a transparent way vision zero.org the website is available where anybody can take a look at any vision zero in the city and get an understanding the scope and schedule and timeline for delivery

project deliver e delivery is a special focus over the last few months working with public works to streamline the agencies both internal meeting cut as many months out of timeline we're not waiting to make the kind of changes on the streets i object to it talk about over the summer we're engaging in another project that accelerates this work we're not waiting to deliver those projects just a couple of really good actions that we achieved the new signal in front of the city hall should short time improvements on polk street immediately after the march third to bill to support the streetscape project and new

bike facility on tenth and the tenderloin project on the enforcement front the parking control officers have reused focus on goks and the most assessable to travel enforcement our good luck citations have impound especially in the way it is focused in the spring of 2015 we're more than hundred percent over what we had of citations in spring of 2014 on the pd side is some changes in the enforcement stats the most important the number of fatality collisions is down it is a good data point as the number of collisions pd has been enforcing goks over 3 thousand

citations since 2014 the focus on the 5 the 5 behaviors that are involved with the fatalities there is a slight decrease in 2014 to today i'm going to ask john concoction white to talk about the education education strategy the next piece of information. >> good afternoon mr. white. >> good afternoon and thank you i want to vision zero - right there. >> supervisor yee and the board of supervisors passed a resolution asking the city agencies and departments to come together to really try and coordinate and collaborate on education that's not been done

before since that time we've assigned a charter agreement between 7 agencies and departments and we and so forth to create an education strategy for the city that wasn't what we do for the next year but the education for the next 10 years it is one of the parlors for defining streets safety and, of course all the things rely on the evaluation in this case all of them requires data analysis we determine what we're going to do and an evaluation to the adjustments of the program this strategy outlines an approach for the next 10 years with the goal of looiflt education to the traffic cultural towards one of human safety and culture the community enormous are reset so unsafe behavior on the street is

not acceptable and empowers individuals to take steps on their own to make our streets safer in the past we've run close to education programs i will describe them as we have an ongoing safety route to school and safety program the did you want and the department of the investment do an ongoing save roulettes to school and the police department have their program not integrated and individual groups and the unified school district run their own safety programs and banner with the precinct and the donors and the police department etc. all those efforts are notable but they were carried out by single agencies

so this refocused program we're looking at with a coordinated approach will result in a coordinated project with one unified voice quickly those are the 7 departments working together on the education subcommittee for vision zero mta, department of public health are the police department the school district or the district attorney's office and the depended of the investment and the transportation authority we over the last 6 months came up with a decision marking framework and protocol as much of the work was done by our team pit together our strategy something we're proud of so we are identifying how the subcommittee will productive the

vision zero and he wants we'll get to providing the feedback on safety commissioners, that motion passes as people are identifying the campaigns bringing forward we'll provide the feedback would be one of the things we've balanced for the individual departments to have the flexibility to do the work they want to do but come up with a way to make sure that vision zero are consistent with the data driven progress eave identified as important out of the public comment is closed. worlds the intervention this is a theory that has been shown to be effective if you're going to try to change culture don't put up a billboard you have to work at all leveled from the state and federal changing the policy and educating policymakers all

the way down to walking the sidewalks so we adopted that as one of the core philosophies in the education will have to work on all the levels we identified 10 core principles those are 7 of them those are what are best practices research has found leads to go counterclock outcome and the to audience not only just in multiple languages but the language they'll respond to which will come back to in a few sessions and multi faetdz in best practices we came up with a sheet of initiatives and ideas the first of which is vision zero coming up with a brand

something that's important we talked about it as a tag but it is incredibly important to give folks an identify a thing to building in to buy into again, we're not- we're defining success and buying into the idea of vision zero is something i have a role perp in helping to achieve at the end of the day vision zero is not something we as mta or the city can impose on people we can't design our streets perfectly so everything is safe and people are following the rules i think more importantly from an education standpoint people believe that rules are right and so how is about followed i've joked with the police department thank you

for speeding tickets they'll not cause people to slow down it will be something that people see as oh, i need to slow down and make the have the healthier for my community from a medium advertisement we have the common laws a new bus billboards up next month this this is focused an pedestrian right-of-way and speeding campaign and funding for a left turn campaign those pedestrian right-of-way and speeding are the behaviors that result in 50 percent of all collisions in the city we ask for the core campaign on the job campaigns need to continue for the next 10 years but not end i'll say that adu audience

didn't stop running their cars year after year after year you don't stop reminding something additionally, we have a campaign that are geared towards the users themselves to help work working with the partners in the world to helpful bicyclists people that are biking you know well and faithfully and people that are 2/3rd's of the collision are drivers auto fault and pedestrians are pedestrian at fault we'll make sure those collisions are just want as well and multi faceted save streets to the program the department of public health is having a program we're seek fund we're working with taxi drivers we had our second meeting with the muni

safety not only helping muni drivers know what to do so drive safely safely but how to turn them into vision zero ambassadors for the team and lastly communication and integration so in order for the education program to be effective we have to integrate the vision zero language, etc. into everything we're doing with the engineering and policy work we need staff across the city whether in finance or engineering to see how vision zero impacts and see how they can bring the vision zero outcome to their day to day look and a variety of stakeholders whether business or community groups or schools, etc. trying to make sure we're toughing all

the audience this brings us to the fun our funding needs education program is semi unique in that that is something - we've not had a multi year education program we're proposing to do something that didn't exist our budget this year is in the 2 and a half million dollars range for a program that costs four to $5 million to run one of the bigger asks we're showing all the vision zero i think that the point we'll make this is the startup program on top of the programs that are spend tens and thousands of million dollars so for the current budget year it is pretty small piece of the budget and we are very limited

in the places we can fund education vision zero fund working group started over education we confirmed two or three grant programs sadly to fund some of the staffing that puts pressure on us to find the funding whether the ot f or the grants we stuck it into you know internal funding so again, this is our vision zero budget gap as you can see education is 2 and a half million dollars double what we're asking for and then i really want to kind of put this into a context of what it means i don't know if you're

familiar with the campaign an anti smoking campaign referring and considered with dropping smoking across the country they've spent million dollars out of the tobacco fund the two things that are important and things first of all, for the first time the anti smoking campaign had a logo and brand and something people can get behind they have a plan after four or five decades of folks telling kids don't smoke hey, talking to teenlz telling them something is bad not a way to get kids to stop smoking we did research and identified those teams that don't smoke and

realized that talking to teenagers in a way that they developed a campaign around the idea that corporations have trying to gutting get you to smoke they flipped it on their head hey those corporations are trying to get you to smoke and turned the kids into the ambassadors of the message don't smoke it had a significant social media campaign and trucks that were going to concerts and out with the outreach group on the streets of san francisco and new york city again they're still active but talking to kids about so moved, commissioners, that item passes in a way that kids can hear it my favorite there maybe hotel door hangers they want to videos for a bathroom submit and hang or hung them on

the door i have a hard time sleeping because of what my product does to people and those videos were picked up and become environmental and commercial and again, it was something that was dub in the way it taunts engaging with the world and again significant drop in tobacco use i'm not saying we're going to be minimum i'd like to call the meeting to order but we still have to figure out how to communicate if we want people to slow down hey slow down most people know it is not safe but 0 how to reach out to the peeping people and the message to resonate with them to make our streets safe, etc. with that our next steps quickly and then i know tom wants to talk about some upcoming events our next

steps with the framework we have a list of ideas and concepts that people have identified to expand our program we want to sit down and see what is effective and how much and spend the current pot we have the pie most effectively and what to identify the funding >> thank you. >> okay. i'll take one more minute to give you an update of the kind milestones you'll see coming up over the summer of vision zero first of all, we'll meet with the committee of the transportation authority to give them the materials and the supervisors are informed about the information strategy and the resources we're looking to good news on may 28th about a couple active transportation programs

applications for both for safety electricians with lombardi streets with the traffic safety in an important corridor and the task force on june 9th to meet to get a review of the projects that are implemented in 2015-2016 this is an important dial with the stakeholders about the issues i've touched on earlier this is an issue discussed at the u.s. congress of mayors meeting and finally in july director reiskin will go to sacramento to meet with the caltrain and key legislators and be joined by transportation leaders including los angeles to try to begin to put-down forgot what the city's agenda is and the policies administered by caltrain that's something that

is going to be over the long term and help us achieve that vision zero. >> thank you. >> thank you yes i'm roll call vote proud of the work we've done on vision zero i think staff and all the agencies are go making this a data focused and data driven process i have absolutely no doubt it is yielding results and will continue to yield results i find might have amazed by the enforcement numbers the on foot and on a bike even when you're on a bus watching the bus get blocked by the blocking the box people in our mid block a bus driver waved but didn't stop he's going to get a ticket in

the future those numbers marked me think those numbers she's not likely to get a take a look i'm hoping we have a plan to bring those enrollment numbers back up i totally understand and i surely building what mr. white was saying we can't go out with a stick but a municipal opinion you approach if we're missing that enforcement piece i feel like we are that can you talk about how we're going to address that drop in enforcement 6 percent decrease focus on the citations i'd like to say people are getting it but we know they- i'd like to hear about that this is pretty disturbing. >> i'll preface by saying i cannot talk about the way the

sfpd handles that i know that commander maddox is about looking at not just the 5 citywide but the 5 that are the most important to the district getting the commander district to focus on pedestrians or speeding also sharing data a lot of data of the collisions and trying to make sure that pd and municipal transportation agency are working for the same underscores the map is under scoring the targeted improvement. >> thank you that's helpful i know that is there is only so much we can do when it involves another agency i hope we continue to show how important every time there's a fatality in the city it hits us incredibly hard to see that type of

behavior and the enforcement is it not where it needs to be is hard i know money are working hard in those agencies i encourage us to keep up the pressure on that. >> members of the public. >> yes. one member of the public has stated an interest in addressing you herbert wiener. >> herbert wiener. >> herbert wiener. >> vision zero or zero vision that's the question that comes across my mind no no where is this mentioned about training bicyclists and safety i don't know how many bicyclists died as a result of going against a red light no statistics on that and the grim fact no pedestrian

ever ran over a bicyclist now i realize that probably many individuals who are part of the staff and management of vision zero are bicyclists they should be in the froert of making sure that the bicyclists are pursuing safety and not precedence like ride their bikes on the sidewalks who many incidents you can ask afternoon people they'll complain about the bicyclists the police complain about the bicyclists so this has to be weighed in print individuals one individual in the bicycle coalition expressed a concern one person in vision zero expressed concerns about this this is done in face to

face this should be part of policy otherwise vision zero will not work. >> this is informational is there any public comment? >> good afternoon. >> my name is tyler i'm the chair the bicycle coalition i apologize for not a card i want to thank tom and director reiskin for the wonderful presentation and the board for the support and commitment to vision zero we're seeing progress in the city the mta is making progress in the 24 progress and in addition safety being prioritized on the streets throughout the city i echo commissioner singhs concerns the police san francisco police department as sixth increased the number of traffic citations

overall it resulted in new medic ticketed but we need to shift so with are facing our enforcement on data and understanding the relative being hit or killed on the road i encourage the board while you consider vision zero to look at the 2 year action strategies for the city agency as this board might be interested to call additional agencies to report on the action strategy in particular so see where we're making progress on the engineering and the education and the various commitments that all will come together to meet vision zero. >> seeing any other board comments i'll it thank you to

everyone that worked open this this is an impressive effort we look forward to the additional work in the additional years. >> presentations discussion and possible action regarding the station. >> good afternoon, sir. >> that was easy to say (laughter). >> so good afternoon again at the last meeting director rubke asked us to provide some information about our escalators in particular and i think that was also an expression of concern of the performances of the escalators so what we put together is a brief informational presentation to get you paint a picture generally of the situation and talk about some things we're doing to try to improve that so

our transit director john halley will walk us through. >> good afternoon mr. chair bear with me for one second please. >> i'm allowing you to linger a little bit over vision zero (laughter) okay. thank you good afternoon again just to walk through objective this is a critical part of our infrastructure and not one perceive spent a lot of time talking to this point obviously as we'll get into a little bit more a high usage of

the system we're and i'm pleased to say we're at a 10 year high of ridership but better escalation and escalators have been used this is not meant view is not meant to be a quiz although i have great confidence you'll pass only simply to key it up to explain the landscape of rules and responsibilities it is important this morning for example, coming up the escalators on foot at montgomery station one of probably someone that is a regular watcher of sfgov was walking next to me i should spend more time getting muni's escalator fixed it was a

escalator that was controlled by bashing so you have a sample of powell station the brighter picture that comes to us and the other one belongs to bashing so it is important to see the landscaping rules and responsibility and breakdown into 3 broad areas in the stations that is on the top those - the elevators are maintained by bart for which we pay them an annual fee the escalators there are 14 in o stations mroind by us you move to the group of stations starting that van ness their controlled by us and those elevators and escalators within our rules and responsibilities
