13e at ge 13th at gene parker. now i want to introduce my colleague in district nine, hillary ronen. >> good morning, everyone. before i had a kid that i struggled to get out of the house and get to school on time, and when i lived and worked in the mission for six years, i walked to and from work every single day, and let me tell you, it made my life so much better. so i encourage you, if you have the privilege to walk to work, do it. you get your blood pumping in the morning, you get to work more focused and energyized in a better mood. you realize things in your neighborhood that you never otherwise would have learned about. and at the same time, you're helping the environment every day. there's no reason not to do it if you can. i wish i could every day, but like my incredible colleague who i'm about to introduce,

ahsha aven ahsha safai from district 11, it's not as easy when we raise our kids, but i do it when i can. so i encourage everyone to follow walk sf and walk whenever you can. ahsha safai. >> so i would not be a supervisor if i didn't have two strong legs. i walked up and downhills all over my district and met 7,000 individual households. that's one of the proudest things that i can say about being supervisor is that i've walked every single corner of my respective district. people walk to their schools. we've worked with ed reiskin and mohamed nuru to immediately put in -- and tom mcguire and sf mta to take our school routes safer, to make our park

routes safer. tilly chang, i found when i first came into office, we had $600,000 sitting in our n-tip money. we're going to spend every bit of that in my district. we're going to do everything that we can do to follow the principles that norman yee and jane kim and ed lee and every single one of you put out there and crafted to make our city safer. we believe this is a walkable city, and it should continue to be safe and fun and livable, so thank you very much. i'm proud to introduce a great leader of our city, mr. ed reiskin. come on up. >> good morning. thank you all for being here. happy walk to workday. i'm ed reiskin, director of transportation here, and i think we all know that san francisco is a great city to walk in, one of the most walkable cities in the world, but we want it even more so.

we want people to be save and we want people to feel save when they're walking in san francisco so they'll choose to make more trips on foot that you've heard from the folks behind me. that was really behind our embrace of vision zero in the city in 2014. during mayor lee's administration, we came together as a city and decided we're not going to accept the fact that people need to be hurt or killed as they're trying to get around our city. we did it the ed lee way, by working together with all the different city departments, with all of our community partners, neighborhood organizations, individuals, because mayor lee recognized it would take a collective effort of everybody working together to redesign or streets, to get compliance with traffic laws, to he had everybody of their role because it does take everybody's role to make our streets safer. so that's what vision zero's

about. walk to workday is a great reminder of the great away ways that the -- ways to get around the city on foot. thanks everyone for coming out. happy walk to work now. i want to bring up now -- i won't call him my partner in crime, but he's my partner in safety, the chief of police, bill scott. [applause]. >> good morning. so when you're this far down on the list, you're trying to think of something original to say. i don't know if i can do that. but vision zero is about the people behind me. it's about laidership, about vision. mayor lee had the vision to get this started. it's also about respect, and that is up to us. safety on the road way is about respecting everyone else, respecting pedestrians when you are motorists, respecting bicyclists when you are a pedestrian, respecting each other. respect for each is great,

respect for enforcement is great, but this is all about respect to each other. when you're out on the road, be kind, aboube courteous, and ret everybody's ability to be out here on the road. >> joanne hayes-white. you can see there's consensus around pedestrian safety. thank you to walk sf, mta. far too often, san francisco fire department members have to respond to pedestrian injuries and fatalities. we want that reduced and eliminated. we're 100% behind vision zero. thank you, and if everyone can get along like we're getting along today, i would be the proudest san franciscan here. thank you. [applause]. >> thank you, joanne. mohamed nuru from public works.

first of all, i just want to thank walk sf for all the great work that they do. they promote walking. they're very active, and it's through their work that we're able to celebrate a day like today. with you all the agencies behind us, everybody is really working hard to make our beautiful city walkable for everyone. it really is a great city. it's only seven by seven. from public works, we'll do our part. most importantly what i want to say is, there is an hour class, an on-line video that you can learn about what vision zero is, and pass it onto a friend because it allows you to know the right way to across the street and the right way to do things here in san francisco. and i need to introduce debbie rafael from the department of environment. >> debbie rafael, department of environment. i just have a few words to say: walk for your heart, walk for

your soul, walk for the planet. if we're all out there walking, we're not driving, and we're healing this earth that we live on, and we're showing the world what can be done for climate change, so many, many reasons to walk, and thank you walk sf for reminding us the importance of this mode of transportation. and speaking of transportation, i want to introduce tilly chang from the t.a. [applause]. >> thank you, everyone. thank you. walk sf. happy walk to workday. every day's a great way to walk to work and school. thank you walk sf for making this day so fun and so meaningful. the transportation authority is real really pleased to be focused -- we've been asked to be focused on vision vee row, things like the soma and making sure that the ramp wills and crossings are safe. we're on 19th avenue, lombard,

geary. we're going to be keeping it together to make sure that the streets of san francisco are safe, especially the high injury network. we're also going to make sure that the funding is there, so i encourage everyone to learn about regional effort 3, sb-1, and thanks everyone, and have a great day. the united players are next -- sorry. they were great. we heard from them this morning. >> thank you. thank you, tilly. it is my pleasure to wrap up our annual walk to workday morning walk, and i want to thank everybody that's been here. it's been an amazing city family that's joined us today. i want everybody to take this energy and momentum into their work creating more walkable streets and neighborhoods and promote safe streets. before i end this program, i want to thank this year's walk sf sponsor, and san francisco

is one of the most walkable cities because we have city support, private support. everybody's in this together as you can see, so thank you, everybody here, and have a great walk to workday. [applause]. ♪ >> not only did the total death on our streets from traffic collisions decrease dramatically in 2017, pedestrian deaths did as well. since 2013, fewer pedestrians

have been killed on our streets. this is really good news. you know, no one wants to see the accidents on the side of the road, no one wants to experience going to a crime scene on the road knowing your loved one has been hit by a car or sadly tragically killed. this is about bringing that number of 20 from 2017 down to zero. we don't want another death on our streets because of human error, because of anything that we can avoid. if we change our behavior, we change our roads and we do a better job here in the city and county of san francisco. >> my ask of the public, number one be aware of your surrounding, be aware of the law, be aware of the street signals and crosswalks and try to work within the laws designed to keep you safe. look at where we were and look at where we are. this vision will be a reality. >> we all have to remember that all of us, all of us every

single day, no matter how you get to work, school, wherever you go, all of us are always pedestrians. this impacts all of us. >> school starts again on monday, so i hope as you are reporting today you will encourage people to slow down, to be mindful, to recognize that you're going to have more cars on the street on monday. we're going to have more kids on bikes, more kids walking. please, be slow, be safe and be mindful. >> i just want to urge everyone at the sound of my voice to make some corrections. if you operate a motor vehicle, think about it, think about the person standing on the corner. think about how fast you're driving. think about the stop sign you're about to come to. just think. and just doing so, you'll help someone live another day. i guarantee that. i guarantee that. ♪ . >> working for the city and
