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 .
