Most notable <br />recommended improvements in this category include: Red Light Photo Enforcement, Speed <br />Photo Enforcement (when available), and speed reduction on HIN corridors where applicable <br />using the new State law. Reducing vehicle speeds and enforcing red-light compliance have a <br />significant impact on reducing both the number and severity of collisions. <br /> <br />Commitment to Reduce Traffic Collisions <br />The SS4A grant requires the City’s public commitment to reducing fatal and severe injury <br />collisions. Further, the commitment must include the goal and a timeline; both these elements <br />are reflected in the PTSAP. The process to determine this commitment and timeline centers on <br />the proposed focused safety projects, the projected funding needed, and when that funding will <br />be available. Based on these inputs, the PTSAP aims for a 50 percent reduction in fatal and <br />severe injuries in ten years. <br /> <br />Next Steps <br />Staff will complete Self-Certification Worksheets for upcoming grant opportunities such as <br />SS4A Implementation, High Safety Improvement Program, and Active Transportation Program <br />grants. <br /> <br />Staff will also seek City Council approval to submit an application for the SS4A Implementation <br />Grant for the Santa Rita Road Safety Project. The application deadline is May 26, 2026 at 5:00 <br />PM, and requires having an up-to-date Plan in place. <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />Approval of this action advances Climate Action Plan (CAP 2.0) Strategy TLU-2 E5. Complete <br />Streets Program. The PTSAP also prioritizes and takes into account safety improvements that <br />will benefit youth, seniors, pedestrians, and cyclists as well as motorists. Having a convenient, <br />safe, and comfortable multi-modal transportation network is critical to supporting use of these <br />facilities by users of all ages and abilities, improving transportation options, and benefiting the <br />environment. <br /> <br />OUTREACH <br />Community outreach was a critical step in creating the PTSAP. A stakeholder group was <br />identified to help staff and the consultants review and provide input during the plan <br />development process. The stakeholder group included individuals representing a wide range of <br />transportation network users, including representatives from: Bicycle Pedestrian Trails <br />Committee, the senior community, Pleasanton Unified School District, CityServe, Wheels Bus, <br />Chamber of Commerce, Hacienda Business District, and staff from the City of Pleasanton <br />Page 25 of 908
