FOCUS GROUPS
While developing this plan, we shared collision data and collected initial input from key stakeholders to better understand the ground-level experiences of those affected by traffic-safety issues.
From July through August 2016, we conducted focus groups of community stakeholders throughout Los Angeles to learn about Vision Zero, exchange information about traffic safety issues, and identify potential solutions and partners. Ten geographically based meetings with residents and neighborhoodlevel leaders occurred throughout the City. At each meeting, participants responded to the High-Injury Network data, shared traffic safety issues affecting their communities, and identified potential strategies for improvement through engineering, education, evaluation, and enforcement.
Additionally, we conducted four topic-based meetings with the Vision Zero Alliance, medical / public health organizations, City legislation / policy staff from partner departments, and community leaders representing vulnerable communities. These participants also responded to the High-Injury Network data and shared their experiences and ideas for how to connect their related efforts to the Vision Zero initiative.
The following is a summary of meeting locations and groups. A full, narrative summary of each meeting can be found on the Vision Zero website at visionzero. lacity. org / focusgroups2016.
