The City of Los Angeles will have zero traffic deaths by 2025. This bold statement requires equally bold leadership and actions. We will achieve our desired outcomes by executing the actions and strategies( see pages 38 – 39). Below is a summary of focus areas for 2017.
CREATE SAFE STREETS FOR ALL
• Install life-saving improvements on the priority corridors and intersections along the High-Injury Network, such as optimizing fourhundred traffic signals and redesigning at least twelve miles of City streets every year to accommodate safe transportation for all.
• Update 100 percent of the expired speed surveys on the priority corridors by the end of 2017.
• Update all City street-design standards used by the Bureau of Public Works, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of City Planning to be consistent with the National Association of City Transportation Officials’ Urban Street Design Guide, Transit Street Design Guide, and Urban Bikeway Design Guide and prioritize the safety of people walking and biking.
DEVELOP A CULTURE OF SAFETY
• Invest at least $ 2 million toward a comprehensive education campaign that addresses top collision factors, such as speeding and insobriety.
• Work with the Los Angeles Police Department’ s( LAPD’ s) Community Relations Office and Community Traffic Services units on enforcement efforts on the top traffic violations that contribute to the most deaths and serious injuries for people walking and biking.
• Collaborate on education and traffic-safety awareness efforts with key stakeholders, such as the Los Angeles Vision Zero Alliance, local trauma hospitals, the County of Los Angeles, AARP, and the American Automobile Association.
• Deploy LAPD officers to priority intersections and corridors to provide education and enforcement during high trafficcollision hours.
