<br />Transportation Safety Action Plan
<br />CITY OF PLEASANTON
<br />VISION ZERO POLICY AND ACTION PLAN, SOUTH LAKE TAHOE | 2023-2025
<br />Reference: Emily Dougherty, City of South Lake Tahoe, (530) 542-6070, edougherty@cityofslt.us
<br />TJKM assisted the City of South Lake Tahoe with developing a Vision Zero Policy and Action Plan. The
<br />Vision Zero Policy and Action Plan aims to eliminate traffic-related deaths and serious injury collisions on
<br />City streets through a clear vision, assigning responsibility, changing or enacting new policies that focus
<br />on safety first, identifying existing roadway deficiencies and hazards, and physically changing the
<br />streetscape to support equal access to the road network.
<br />Vision Zero prioritizes people and safety first, acknowledges traffic KSI are preventable, and requires a
<br />multifaceted approach (accounting for individual effort through education, modifying the built environment, and considering socioeconomic
<br />factors) to be successful.
<br />The Vision Zero Action Plan included: Assessment of existing policies, programs, and practices; formation of a vision zero task force;
<br />communicated data and information to the public on social media and on the City's website; attended public meetings; collected collision data
<br />and analysis; developed implementable actions and performance measures; provided project recommendations after collecting information from
<br />community engagement and stakeholder workgroups; coordinated with the City to identify most at-risk population and work with local police and
<br />Emergency Medical Services (EMS) departments; and created a Vision Zero Action Plan.
<br />SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY ACTION PLAN, COLUSA | 2023-2025 Reference: Sadie Ash, City of Colusa, (707) 217-6504, sadiebash@gmail.com
<br />The City of Colusa is developing a CSAP to make its roads, school access, and intersections safer with planned projects that would provide a
<br />path to proactively identify and address potential safety hazards, enhance the overall safety of the mobility space, and ultimately reduce fatalities,
<br />injuries, and crashes. It will also assist the City to prioritize safety improvements and justify investment decisions. By developing and prioritizing
<br />specific plans to enhance safety, the CSAP will contribute to the reduction and elimination of KSI crashes, while increasing overall public
<br />awareness and increasing access to valuable future funding opportunities. The City aims to engage in planning efforts, which will lead to
<br />enhanced safety outcomes for the City, as well as increased public trust and confidence in the City and its initiatives. TJKM is supporting Colusa
<br />in creating a CSAP that enhances safety for everyone on City roads. Project components include:
<br />• Community engagement
<br />• Data-driven solutions: Crash data, land use, and equity analysis to create an effective plan
<br />• Interactive dashboard: Track progress and monitor safety improvements
<br />• Grant opportunities: Secure funding for crucial safety projects
<br />WACO MPO COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY ACTION PLAN, WACO, TX | 2023-2024
<br />Reference: Mukesh Kumar, PhD, Waco Metropolitan Planning Organization, (254) 750-5666, MukeshK@wacotx.gov
<br />TJKM assisted the Waco MPO Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, aimed at improving safety across
<br />McLennan County. The firm's expertise was vital in creating a comprehensive crash database and
<br />analyzed collision data for a 10-year period, identified HINs, conducted equity analysis, and formulated
<br />effective safety measures. We collaborated extensively with 21 member agencies and 22 independent
<br />school districts, including the Cities of Bellmead, Hewitt, Lacy Lakeview, McGregor, Robinson, Waco, and
<br />Woodway, and McLennan County to understand their safety concerns. Based on these inputs, we
<br />developed a set of prioritized safety projects, both short-term and long-term, tailored to address specific
<br />issues and to improve safety for all road users. In collaboration with local agencies and stakeholders (over
<br />50 outreach meetings), TJKM helped gather public feedback on traffic safety concerns, ensuring the CSAP
<br />addressed the unique challenges faced by different communities. The Plan's strategies align with Vision
<br />Zero, focusing on eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries. TJKM's contributions also included
<br />developing a roadmap for securing funding and implementing these safety improvements, supported by
<br />SS4A grants.
<br />Value Addition – Completed the project in four months and assisted various agencies to apply for SS4A Implementation Grant
<br />Applications for over $30 million.
