SR 02-27-2018 4B City Council Report City Council Meeting: February 27, 2018 Agenda Item: 4.B 1 of 30 To: Mayor and City Council From: David Martin, Director, Transportation Planning Subject: Mobility Strategic Goal Update and Discussion Recommended Action Discuss progress toward the Council’s Strategic Goal of creating a new model of mobility and provide future direction on the three action areas of increasing transit usage, walking and biking; eliminating severe and fatal collisions (i.e. Vision Zero); and creating a complete and connected mobility network throughout Santa Monica. Executive Summary: Given the severity of regional and local traffic congestion – and the economic, environmental, and safety costs of overreliance on cars – the City of Santa Monica has recognized the need for a comprehensive new approach – and developed a clear vision for a diverse transportation network that promotes people walking, biking, carpooling, and taking transit. This vision aligns with both the City’s General Plan and the City’s larger Framework for promoting wellbeing and sustainability – and a city that works for everyone. The Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) of the General Plan (2010) set an inclusive and forward-looking mobility policy foundation, but could not predict the recent technology advances that pose new opportunities and challenges regarding use of the public right-of-way, public-private partnerships, data, and management strategies. This set of updated core principles to aid in day-to-day decision-making is based on adopted policy documents:  Put people and safety first.    Give all people access to mobility choices.     Pioneer a clean mobility future.    Design great streets for health and wellbeing.    2 of 30  Leverage private sector innovation in new mobility that serves community needs.   Strengthen government services with data-driven decision-making.    In August 2015, Council identified “Creating a new model of mobility" as one of its five Strategic Goals. Early work on the Mobility Strategic Goal yielded progress through the opening of Expo Light Rail, Breeze Bike Share, Evolution of Blue and GoSaMo mobility campaign. The report outlines more recent work, organized around the Mobility Strategic Goal's three target areas: increasing trips on foot, bike, and transit; eliminating severe injury and fatal collisions; and creating a complete and connected mobility network.   Increasing transit, walking and biking trips: Enabling alternative travel options requires a combination of revamped infrastructure and imaginative initiatives. The biennial Capital Improvement Program (CIP) organizes, prioritizes, and allocates funding for the numerous annual infrastructure maintenance and improvement projects. Mobility staff is preparing potential projects to be considered for funding in the next capital budget based on the following criteria: identified in adopted plans to complete bike, pedestrian and transit networks; advance work toward Vision Zero; leverage outside transportation funds; and coordinated with adjacent projects or maintenance efforts. Vision Zero: Vision Zero is a City target to eliminate severe injury and fatal collisions by the year 2026 for all roadway users. Vision Zero is an audacious goal but anything less would be unacceptable, and major cities like New York have shown that Vision Zero action plans can make major improvements.  Santa Monica staff is working every day and across all departments to encourage safety on the street. Nonetheless, in 2017, 9 people were killed and 25 severely injured on Santa Monica streets. Speeding and distracted driving were among the greatest causes of these tragedies. A Priority Network Map was created to identify areas that will be first to receive more detailed evaluation of collision reports, to better understand the conditions occurring, the factors contributing to a crash, and what countermeasures would be effective. Staff has prepared a 2-year work plan of strategic actions to advance Vision Zero within 3 of 30 the larger goal of promoting a new model of mobility. The 2-year approach contains elements that are specific, measurable and concrete, allows sufficient time to test new tactical interventions and strategies, and incorporate elements into departmental work plans. Achieving Vision Zero will necessitate that all departments take a role. In the next year, staff will create and implement an outreach plan outlining steps the City is taking to make streets safer for all modes, how to be safe and attentive while traveling, and what everyone can do to participate in saving lives, highlighting that speeding and distracted driving are the leading causes of collisions.   Complete and connected mobility network: The opportunity to create a safer and more seamless transportation system has been unlocked by technology and innovation. But it does not come without its drawbacks. The latest innovations in transportation that are happening today, particularly shared mobility, autonomous vehicles and vehicle electrification simultaneously support and undermine sustainability, equity, economic, and quality of life outcomes. Cities across the country are grappling with these new opportunities and challenges - starting pilot projects, reorganizing for new work flows, and developing tools to deal with the myriad data, communications, regulation, operation and maintenance challenges.   The report discusses the opportunities and challenges, and presents a range of short and mid-term steps in advocacy, infrastructure, data management and policy with the intent to encourage:  Vehicle automation that is safer for people on the street, and which does not increase local congestion and emissions, and    Shared mobility that supports transit and shared rides, expands mobility options, increases roadway efficiency, and reduces emissions.   Council input is needed on the approach, desired level of engagement and leadership, and content of specific steps. These work efforts are new, and are not currently in the planned projects, and Council direction can inform the level of effort toward staffing and resources. Background:  On July 6, 2010, Council adopted the LUCE, the heart of the State-mandated General 4 of 30 Plan, that sets the City's broad transportation policy foundation. It identified the City's street designations, transportation goals, demand management approach, parking policies, and established the goal of "No Net New Trips." This goal commits to using transportation management tools in a way that avoids any increase in vehicle trips in the evening peak period by 2030. The LUCE also recommends dozens of circulation and mobility action items. On November 22, 2011, Council adopted the Bike Action Plan as the LUCE's first action item, and staff has reported annually on Plan implementation since 2013. Council identified a "New Model for Mobility" as one of the City’s top five Strategic Goals at an August 23, 2015 City Council meeting. This was consistent with the City’s proactive and on-going work on mobility policy, programs and implementation. The Mobility Strategic Goal seeks a more diverse mobility system that is convenient, attractive, cost-effective, customer-oriented and that supports community values of wellbeing and sustainability. On February 23, 2016, Santa Monica adopted the Pedestrian Action Plan, consistent with LUCE recommendations.   This new model of mobility is linked not just to transportation, but to livability and accessibility. This is a broad-ranging movement that requires renovating our public streets, diversifying and improving mobility options and encouraging people to use them. Three target areas for the Mobility Strategic Goal were identified in a subsequent August 25, 2016 Information Item: 1. Increasing trips on foot, bike, and transit 2. Eliminating severe injury and fatal collisions 3. Creating a complete and connected mobility network   At the February 14, 2017 City Council Meeting, Council instructed staff to prepare a report documenting the progress of several initiatives, including the Pedestrian Action 5 of 30 Plan, Bicycle Action Plan, and Vision Zero. On May 9, 2017 the Council gave direction regarding creation of a Vision Zero strategy to reduce and ultimately eliminate severe injury and fatal collisions.       Discussion:  The City’s General Plan provides a comprehensive vision for preserving Santa Monica’s unique sense of place and planning for a dynamic and livable future: “The LUCE conserves the City’s neighborhoods and historic resources, expands open space, and creates new opportunities for housing where few or none currently exist. It reduces the amount of regional commercial growth and encourages smaller-scale local-serving uses and housing. It encourages new development connected directly to transit, creating a multimodal transportation system that incentivizes walking, biking and transit. It also encourages local-serving retail within walking distance of existing and new neighborhoods, serving to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.” (Executive Summary) The LUCE highlights the importance of treating streets as public spaces and the need to actively manage the street network to achieve our goals. It also puts equity at the forefront, insisting that public streets serve all people regardless of age, ability or mode choice. Streets were further identified as places that support public life, health, economic resiliency, and neighborhoods. Street space is understood to be managed as a limited resource, with a need to mitigate demand while also increasing efficiency. LUCE paints an inclusive picture of the role of streets, never losing sight that streets are meant for people first and are part of our community and social gathering spaces. Since 2010 when the LUCE was adopted, many new and unforeseen transportation technology advances have occurred, resulting in new services and new uses of street space. These services include curbside passenger pick-up/drop-off, electric bicycle and scooter riding, and on-demand delivery services to name just a few. Santa Monica will need to adapt within this rapidly-changing environment and develop new tools to effectively manage public space for the common good. 6 of 30 Reinforcing the community's core mobility goals and principles is an important first step to guide ad-hoc decision-making and set a foundation for longer-term efforts. The following principles come from Santa Monica's adopted community plans, with minor updates that address current technological advances:  Put people and safety first – reverse decades of single-purpose engineering to increase automobile speed at the expense of all else, because no person should have to feel in danger or endanger another – and streets ultimately should be designed for people.   Give all people access to mobility choices - create a transportation environment that provides for everyone, diversifies available options, and provides equal access regardless of age, income, race, gender, or ability.     Pioneer a clean mobility future - reduce emissions from transportation to slow global climate change, by reducing demand and increasing the supply of efficient options.    Design great streets for health and wellbeing - create complete streets that are safe, pleasant and beautiful to provide social gathering places, strengthen community connections and help people thrive.     Leverage private sector innovation in new mobility that serves community needs - harness the investment in new mobility to increase the diversity of mobility options, with careful partnerships that protect community safety and resiliency.     Strengthen government services with data-driven decision-making - Create strength in government services by using a data-driven process to align new transportation services with Santa Monica values. Leverage and train a responsive workforce that can effectively use data to leverage resources to maximize public benefits.     These principles will help guide the day-to-day work of designing, managing and maintaining the mobility system that we have today and are creating for tomorrow. The remainder of this report is presented in the order of the Mobility Strategic Goal target areas to provide an update on work efforts:   A. Increasing the number of trips made by walking, biking and transit   7 of 30 B. A 2-year strategic action list that advances Vision Zero C. A Connected and Complete Transportation Network A. Increase the number of trips made by walking, biking and transit  Increasing transit, walking and biking trips takes a combination of street improvements, and programs to encourage use. Street improvements should create better people- oriented places with high quality walking, biking and transit facilities, while programs create a culture in which active transportation is seen as a part of daily life. Santa Monica has made great strides in more inclusive street design, but streets change slowly so the majority of our streets still reflect the last 100 years of investment in automobiles. Recently-adopted plans describe a new vision for streets that are more complete with safer crossings, well-lit walkways, dedicated transit facilities, protected bikeways and full tree canopies. Specific implementation projects are included in plans like the Bike Action Plan, Pedestrian Action Plan, Downtown Community Plan, Bergamot Area Plan, and Urban Forest Master Plan. The work of creating and maintaining complete streets has never been more important. Technology is transforming transportation, and while there remain many unknowns, there is widespread confidence in the need for complete streets and the continued role of walking, biking and shared mobility in the future of our cities and personal wellbeing. This requires continued renovation to provide wider sidewalks, a protected bike network comfortable for kids and families, streamlined vehicle lanes that move people in less space, and dedicated transit facilities for efficient shared vehicles.   With an ever-evolving landscape of new transportation, as discussed later in the report, the capital budget will be crucial for enabling projects that maximize efficiency and equity in the street network as the number of mobility options continues to evolve. For example, how can we move people smoothly, comfortably, and safely with the smallest per-person footprint such as in a dedicated high-occupancy vehicle network, or in a protected bikeway. Or as electric bikes and scooters are increasingly available, how can these space-efficient devices have safer travel lanes. Similarly, with the growing 8 of 30 challenges of climate change adaptation, how can streets encourage low- and no- emission mobility options and cluster options into convenient mobility hubs. This will take concerted efforts and investments in the existing infrastructure to create the transportation future our community envisions. City programs like Transportation Demand Management (TDM), GoSaMo, parking management, and public outreach efforts maximize the return on investment in street improvements. These programs provide the “carrots and sticks” that motivate people to use multiple mobility options. Incentives include Breeze bike share discount days, employer transit pass subsidies, or personalized travel planning services; disincentives are often financial like parking pricing or congestion pricing. This section ends with an overview of current and upcoming programs that support mode shift.   A1. Projects Recently Completed  The Mobility Strategic goal benefitted from many long-awaited transformative projects. The opening of the Expo Light Rail connected Santa Monica to a county-wide network of rail lines, and the Colorado Esplanade transformed an auto-oriented street to an enticing people-oriented street. These and other projects create a momentum on which the Mobility Strategic goal could build. Other recent efforts include:  Evolution of Blue integration of Expo and service increases (2016, 2017)  Lincoln Boulevard Peak Bus Lanes (2017)  12 Downtown Pedestrian Scrambles (2016)  Creative Crosswalks Pilot (2016)  California Incline and Protected Bikeway (2016)  Downtown Community Plan - requiring wider sidewalks on Lincoln Blvd (2017)  Michigan Avenue Neighborhood Greenway lighting - 9th to 19th Streets (2017)  4th Street Sidewalk widening and pedestrian lighting (2017)  Safe Routes to School - Samohi protected and green lanes, network connection 9 of 30 from Michigan to 6th Street on Pico (2016, revised 2017)  Green bike lanes on Main Street and Broadway (2014)  Safe Routes to School - 15mph speed limit & striping refresh at 4 schools (2018)  Blue @ Night service at 17th/SMC Expo station (2016-present)  Santa Monica Free Ride operations (2014-present) Encouragement and TDM:  Buy One, Get One Free (BOGO) Promotion, GoSaMo Campaign, CarFree Friday (2016, 2017)  COAST Open Streets Festival (2016, 2017)  GoSaMo Transportation Management Organization launch (2016) Adopted plans developed with community input generated the momentum behind these projects. Specifically, the LUCE policies and actions, Bike Action Plan 5-year and 20- year project lists, and Pedestrian Action Plan 5-year list provide guides. Attachment A identifies the progress made on the Bike Action Plan program and project lists, and Pedestrian Action Plan 5-year project list. This work has yielded dividends - from 2016 to 2017 the number of resident drive-alone trips dropped 4 percent, from 64% to 60%, replaced by a combination of biking, riding Expo, carpooling and taking car services [Resident Travel Surveys 2016, 2017]. Breeze bike share reported over one million bike trips taken in the first 18 months of operation. Expo Light Rail also introduced people to new transit, and transit to new people; reaching the 2030 ridership projections in just one year. GoSaMo campaign got people in touch with these services. Through community engagement at over 15 community events, social media outreach, Seascape, and a GoSaMo website, the campaign achieved over 60 million impressions, including over 15,000 people in person and had over 25,000 website visits. Understanding of how to use Expo jumped 27%, and how to use Breeze jumped 21% according to a GoSaMo before/after survey. A2. Mobility-Related CIP Projects Underway  Santa Monica's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) organizes, prioritizes, and allocates 10 of 30 funding for the numerous infrastructure maintenance and improvement efforts taking place each year. The CIP includes over 200 active projects addressing multiple health and safety requirements, infrastructure needs, and community and Council priorities. Mobility is an ongoing focus of the CIP, and over a dozen mobility projects are currently in process. The projects are in various stages of design and construction including administrative processes with procurement and Caltrans approvals. In addition to contributing to Mobility Strategic Goal mode shift targets, the mobility projects also create safer streets that contribute to the Vision Zero target. See Attachment B for more project details and maps.   Current Mobility Project Cost (approx.) Primary Funding Source Est. Complete 17th Street Pedestrian Lighting, Crossings, and Protected Bikeway: design of safer connections to Expo Light Rail, Santa Monica College, and the hospitals $7.2m CMAQ 2021 Lincoln Boulevard new pedestrian crossings with refuge islands, and lighting $3.3m* TIF 2020 26th St/Bergamot Connectivity - Olympic Boulevard Sidewalks 26th to Stewart, and Stewart Street lighting and protected bike lanes, Colorado to I-10  $2.8m STPL 2020 Michigan Ave Greenway - 20th Street Bike Connection: Bridge improvements and reconnecting Michigan over I-10 for pedestrians and bikes. $1.2m ATP 1 2021 Bike Network Linkages to Expo upgrading miles of bikeways between Wilshire and Pico Boulevards with high visibility green paint, bike detection, and 1,000 bike racks. $3.4m Metro CFP 2018 4th Street Phase II bicycle and pedestrian improvements between Colorado and Olympic Boulevard. $2.0m ATP 2 2020 Real-time Downtown Parking availability sign system, and pedestrian/bicycle wayfinding in ½ mile radius around each Expo station. $1.5m Metro CFP 2019 Pier Deck to Beach Bike Path Connection for bicyclists and pedestrians $1.4m Metro CFP 2022 Safe Routes to School: crossing, sidewalk and curbside improvements adjacent to 4 schools.  $1.5m General Fund 2019 Safe Routes to School - Edison Language Academy access improvements on Kansas, Stewart, Delaware Streets $700k SRTS 2018 Airport Avenue Sidewalk and protected bike facility - Bundy to 23rd Street $2m* Airport Fund 2021 North Beach Trail improvements creates separate parallel paths for bicycle and pedestrian traffic. $1.6m* Beach Recreation Fund 2021 Wilshire Boulevard Corridor Safety Enhancements Study $500k Caltrans Planning grant 2020 *Project may request additional funding in later phases. Many of the mobility projects leverage limited City funding for external grant funding like Metro Call for Projects (CFP), the Active Transportation Program (ATP), or Safe Routes to School (SRTS). To be more competitive, grant match is usually proposed of 10-20% 11 of 30 of project construction cost which comes from a combination of Prop C, Prop A, TDA Article 3, Transportation Impact Fee (TIF), or general funds. The grants and their match funds are also programmed through the biennial CIP. Most recently, grant agencies have favored transit access projects such as first/last mile connections to rail stops and allocated funds to “disadvantaged communities” as defined by a third party source like CalEnviroScreen 3.0. This has resulted in Santa Monica being less competitive, and may be a concern for future grant funding. Nonetheless, staff has tried to advance projects that build a complete citywide network of infrastructure, pedestrian lighting, landscaping, and other improvements. The timing of project completion is determined by many factors including grant administration requirements, local procurement processes, project complexity and staff availability. For example, in order to use ATP grant funds for design or construction, each phase must receive funding authorization from the California Transportation Commission prior to release of our local Request for Proposals. Administration and procurement can easily add 1-2 years to each project. While the Mobility Division has been successful in winning over $20 million in grant funds for a dozen projects, the availability of staff to implement them has been a challenge. Reallocation of time from regulatory work has helped relieve some of the pressure, but there is still a backlog of projects and slow progression that has to accommodate competing priorities.   Not shown on the list of projects is the City’s significant and on-going maintenance work. When maintenance necessitates the reconstruction of street sections, there is an opportunity to rebuild with multi-modal improvements. The result may occasionally be improvements outside of priority areas or networks, but the cost and time needed for the improvements are significantly reduced. PW and PCD staff share the goal of aligning maintenance and multi-modal facility construction efforts, and are identifying the tools needed to do it effectively such as maps and communication protocols. Staff has yet to undertake the work to develop systems that would make this possible. A3. Goals for Future Mobility-Related Capital Projects   Council will consider a Biennial Capital Improvement Budget in May and June. Broader 12 of 30 capital priorities will be presented to Council for consideration at the Budget Study Session in the context of wider-ranging infrastructure needs. Mobility Staff prepared a number of proposed feasibility, planning, design and construction efforts for consideration in context of all the requests. The staff approach to prioritizing proposals for mobility projects in this cycle is:  1. Complete Streets projects identified in adopted plans that complete bike, pedestrian and transit networks. These projects are based on a community input process and consideration of network and modal connections. Projects come from Bike and Pedestrian Action Plans, LiNC Plan, Downtown Community Plan, Michigan Avenue Neighborhood Greenway. Examples: Ocean Avenue Protected Bikeway (California to Colorado) identified in the Downtown Community Plan; Safe Routes to School improvements at 6 schools identified in the Pedestrian Action Plan. 2. Project development for Vision Zero and Neighborhood Greenway improvements. Pursue crash evaluation and feasibility study for improvements on the Vision Zero priority network, and initial Neighborhood Greenways in Bike Action Plan. Examples: Ocean Avenue Safety Assessment and Preliminary Design; Pico Boulevard Crossing Enhancements - Stewart to Urban Streets; Washington Avenue Neighborhood Greenway Preliminary Design and Outreach. 3. Projects that leverage outside transportation funds. Stretch local dollars with state and federal funds, with the tradeoff that grant funds constrain project scope and introduce additional administrative steps (usually with Caltrans) that delay project delivery. Example: Programming grant funds recently received for Wilshire Boulevard pedestrian safety investigation. 4. Projects that are coordinated with adjacent maintenance or new projects. If work is being done by the City or an adjacent property, leverage work to maximize public outcomes. For example, when a road is being repaved add new lane striping, or when a property is being redeveloped coordinate construction of adjacent sidewalk and intersection upgrades. This may reorder projects identified in an adopted plan. Examples: Pearl Street preliminary design adjacent to Santa Monica College and JAMS Auditorium reconstruction; Addition of 26th Street/Olympic Boulevard northeast corner pedestrian crossing to the Olympic 13 of 30 Boulevard sidewalk construction.   Recent legislative changes have created additional transportation funding opportunities through Local Return funds from Measure M, the countywide sales tax that passed in 2016, and Senate Bill 1 that increased statewide gas taxes, a portion of which flow back to local governments. These complement prior local return sources from Proposition A, Proposition C, Measure R, and dedicated State and Federal transportation programs which get allocated through the City's budget process. Supplementing existing staff and resources with these funds will help offset other capital funding limitations and will help address expectations for mobility improvements and other community priorities.     The speed of delivering these projects directly affects progress on the Mobility Strategic Goal. For example, efforts to grow walking and biking trips depend on increasing evening lighting and protected lanes and crossings. Project delivery schedule is driven by the numerous steps in procurement and approvals, and staffing availability. As the city endeavors to reach Vision Zero (discussed more below) and to facilitate significant mode shift, streamlining of procurement methods, alignment of staffing resources, and better interagency collaboration will be needed to reduce project delivery schedules and enable more facilities to be built in a timely fashion.    A4. TDM Efforts to Increase Walking, Biking and Transit Transportation Demand Management is the term often given to the suite of efforts, both “carrots and sticks,” which are used to transfer drive-alone trips to other modes. TDM helps to reduce demand to manage the roadways as a limited resource, enabling more people to move in the same amount of space. Santa Monica has a TDM program to enforce trip-reduction regulations on employers, and does educational and promotional events focused on Safe Routes to School. The City’s programs in parking and traffic management need to work together with TDM so that the systems reinforce the policy goals. Recent accomplishments in TDM include: Project Name Project Description GoSaMo Mobility Timed with Expo Light Rail opening, the City piloted a campaign designed to 14 of 30 Campaign (FY16-17) help people get "excited, equipped, and trying" new mobility options. Timeless elements from the campaign continue to be used as collateral material in other work efforts. GoSaMo helped make the City's diverse and sometimes disparate mobility efforts legible to community members. Transportation Management Organization (TMO) A Citywide Transportation Management Organization was created in 2016, called the "GoSaMo TMO" available to assist residents, employees, and businesses with mobility information. They have one full-time contracted specialist, under contract until 2019. TDM Ordinance Increases (eff 1/1/16) Council updated the TDM Ordinance in 2016 that requires the promotion of transportation options. The Update added regulations for developments over 7,500 square feet, to decrease the threshold for employers that must implement site reduction programs, and to increase the employer reduction targets. Prior to update, the ordinance reduced over 4,000 trips in the AM and PM peak. Events and Promotions Monthly Ride with the Mayor, Santa Monica Family Bike Festival, National Night Out, Kidical Mass, and dozens of outreach events brought information to people. Breeze Bike Share promotional days like free Breeze Birthday and Valentine's Day rides bring new people to the system. Efforts are concurrently underway to improve the customer experience of compliance with the TDM Ordinance. Using the CityGrows platform (from the 2016 Hack the Beach winner) staff is working to create an online employee survey tool and Emission Reduction Plan tool. These are big steps forward that enable data collection and data- informed decision-making as staff advises employers on what incentives and measures are most effectively working locally. In the next two years, two programs will be piloted based on Metro grants that the City was awarded. An Active Aging pilot program, also known as Safe Routes for Seniors, will outreach to seniors with mobility information, training, and to seek input on access concerns. A Localized Travel Planning effort is also funded, to provide personalized “concierge” service to residents and employees regarding travel route planning and testing new modes. Both efforts are already programmed into the budget, and will be tracked and evaluated with performance metrics. Both the GoSaMo TMO and GoSaMo mobility campaign could be leveraged for more reach to compel behavior change. Each could also be expanded to outreach to specific market segments, such as people who currently drive to Santa Monica for recreation, a group not currently addressed with the TDM Ordinance or resident outreach programs. Currently the TMO contract extends to early 2019. The GoSaMo campaign funds have been expended, but the graphic identity continues to be used in other efforts. 15 of 30 Reactivation of the GoSaMo campaign would require staff and outreach resources. Parking and Pricing Tools Santa Monica has a rich reserve of on-street and off-street parking in Downtown and therefore plays an important role in the parking market. Parking has been historically under-priced in busy areas, providing a hidden subsidy for driving alone that undermines efforts for sustainable transportation and transit. Actively managing parking pricing is an effective tool that is supported by local policy and can play a role in facilitating mode shift. Parking revenue should help to facilitate mobility options, with continued reinvestment of parking revenue in transportation alternatives, and their on- going system operations. On May 10, 2016 Council reviewed and approved revised Downtown parking rates that are better aligned with market rates, and that support the LUCE target of 85% parking availability through pricing and incentive structures. On August 8, 2017 Council eliminated parking minimums in Downtown through the Downtown Community Plan, and established maximums that will encourage more sharing of existing parking spaces. Action: Continue to actively review and adjust parking prices citywide as market rates change, and revisit parking management and construction policies to encourage sharing existing resources.   B. Initiate a 2-Year Program Pursuing “Vision Zero” in Santa Monica  The second component of the Mobility Strategic Goal is Vision Zero, the elimination of all fatal and severe injury roadway collisions by 2026. A testament to the City’s commitment to wellbeing, Vision Zero will ensure that our streets are safe for all, regardless of age, ability, income or mode. While audacious in scope, anything less would be unacceptable. The notion of Santa Monica promoting safety on our streets is hardly new. Policies in the Land Use & Circulation Element, programs in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plans, and daily staff work across all departments encourages safety. For example:  Police Traffic Services daily patrol, speeding enforcement, distracted driving 16 of 30 operations, DUI checkpoints and community engagement.    Roadway maintenance and cleaning which among many benefits ensures visible striping and functioning signals, and reduces bicycle crashes, vehicle damage and unpredictable driver behavior; and maintains safety lighting for intersections and roadways.    Sidewalk and crosswalk monitoring and regular maintenance.    Safe Routes to School education and encouragement programs that raise awareness of student safety and driver behavior in school zones.     These efforts, coupled with a long history of safety projects and a host of capital projects in the pipeline reflect the on-going commitment to community wellbeing and protection.   But more must be done to achieve Vision Zero, as evidenced by the 9 people killed and 25 severely injured on Santa Monica’s streets in 2017 (two pedestrians were killed on Pacific Coast Highway, which is under State jurisdiction, and one person was killed by a driver in a public parking lot). Both the 2017 death and injury figures represent increases from the 2006-16 average of 4 deaths and 22 severe injuries per year.  17 of 30    This unfortunate trend is not unique to Santa Monica. According to the National Safety Council, between 2014 and 2016, fatalities involving automobiles in California were up 19 percent, even worse than the lamentable national increase of 14 percent. Notable exceptions are New York City and San Francisco which embarked on comprehensive and far-reaching Vision Zero programs of education, speed management, and safer facilities to protect people. According to Governing Magazine, both cities experienced the fewest number of traffic fatalities in 2017 since records started being kept in 1910 and 1915, respectively. Notably, New York City experienced a 32 percent reduction in pedestrian fatalities between 2016 and 2017.  Vision Zero reframes priorities of how we design, manage, and enforce our roads. For decades, street performance has been measured primarily in vehicle capacity and delay, encouraging policies and designs that prioritize vehicle speed and throughput over people’s overall safety. Vision Zero changes ideas about what streets must 18 of 30 accomplish, prioritizing the health and safety of people above all else. Achieving Vision Zero will necessitate that all departments take a role - such as placing traffic calming to manage speeding, reallocating roadway space to barriers that protect people walking and biking, targeting enforcement on dangerous distracted driving, adapting emergency response, and prioritizing engagement efforts to focus on safety education, and communication tools.  Staff has created a work plan of strategic actions for achieving Vision Zero by 2026, included as Attachment C, and complemented by the Priority Network Map. The map was created by evaluating 11 years of fatal and severe injury data starting in 2006. The map identifies areas where fatal and severe injury incidents have occurred, and is a guide for subsequent efforts. These areas would be the first to receive more detailed evaluation of collision reports, so that any necessary countermeasures can be identified. This interim step is crucial to better understand the conditions occurring, the factors contributing to crashes, and what countermeasures would be effective.    The strategic actions also identify a number of process and information improvements that can help to align city work efforts to the Vision Zero goal. Aligning these work efforts with a priority for eliminating severe and fatal collisions will help to leverage existing resources toward the Vision Zero goal. When reviewing the work plan, what quickly comes into focus is that these efforts touch many City functions, and will require a committed inter-departmental team to achieve it.   The Vision Zero strategic actions represent a 2-year work plan, with elements that are specific, measurable and concrete. This approach allows sufficient time to test new tactical interventions and strategies, and is necessary to adapt and realign departmental work plans. Progress will be tracked in SaMoStat, the City's performance management system in order to have relentless follow-up and assessment. Based on the first 2 years, work efforts that are producing results will be reinforced while any resources allocated to tactics that are not working will be redirected to other efforts. The constant assessment will be used to guide a longer-term action plan.  19 of 30 The Vision Zero work plan is organized into five key areas:   Data-driven decision making: Develop a precise, data-driven decision-making system. Identify the locations of highest need and evaluate collision reports to identify the most effective countermeasures. Share data between departments and regularly convene a safety task force of key City departments. Evaluate capital improvement projects and programs to learn what works and where changes are needed.    Safer streets for all ages and abilities: Speed is the biggest factor in whether a collision is minor or fatal. Design and enforce street operations so that drivers travel at appropriate speeds where people are walking and biking. Build a network of neighborhood greenways, low-stress routes that parallel busier corridors and connect to parks, schools, jobs and services. Conduct regular enforcement operations targeting speeding and distracted driving, especially along the Priority Network.   An engaged and alert community: For too long, collisions have been accepted as an unfortunate cost of travel, so long as our friends and loved ones are not among the victims. Cause a shift in awareness by engaging with the community through presentations about roadway safety.   Supporting policies: Institutionalize Vision Zero principles in our daily work to support the work in other categories. Ensure roadway safety is a prioritized metric in the City’s budget process, create policy to minimize construction impacts to road users, and advocate for safety improvements to Pacific Coast Highway, which is managed by Caltrans.   Safer vehicles: Improve the safety of City fleet vehicles and their operators. Educate drivers about cyclists and the maneuvers they make to improve predictability and safety. Establish local policy regarding autonomous vehicles and identify smaller- footprint fleet vehicles to enable slower street designs.    In 2017, Council allocated $500,000 for a first phase of Vision Zero projects including:  Vision Zero Jump Start Efforts Cost (approx.)

Some Vision Zero cities have developed streamlined implementation teams for these projects, including New York City and Austin, Texas. The teams vertically integrate the evaluation, design and construction functions to expedite implementation within these larger cities with dedicated transportation departments. On-call contractors could serve a similar function to design and construct countermeasures, and supplement staff for outreach. Vision Zero cities are working on realigning processes, work plans and budgets for managing the public street. This significant coordination effort leverages existing work efforts to deliver new results, and changes business as usual. Options to relocate or add staff capacity to lead Vision Zero alignment efforts and to provide quicker response would advance Vision Zero. Concurrent creation of on-call or pre-qualified contractors and design consultants and an on-going operating budget for this work would enable staff to more rapidly respond to community requests and install pilot countermeasures.   This month, the City began work on the Vision Zero communications and outreach effort building from the GoSaMo campaign. The work will focus on creating and implementing an outreach plan that will inform the community of how the City is taking steps to make streets safer for all modes, how to be safe and attentive while traveling, and what 21 of 30 everyone can do to participate in saving lives, highlighting that speeding and distracted driving are the leading causes of collisions. As this work develops, we will keep the community informed.    C. Connected and Complete Transportation Network - A New Model for Mobility  Creating a "Complete and Connected Transportation Network" is the third target of the Mobility Strategic Goal, and seeks to provide people with a suite of adaptable options to meet the varying needs of the traveler and the situation. New tools for creating a connected and complete transportation system are being unlocked by technology and innovation. People now have on-demand ride-hailing (Uber/Lyft), bike share and car rentals available on their smart phone. And driverless vehicles are in rapid development. This section discusses the benefits and challenges of these new technologies with a focus on the intersection of vehicle automation, shared mobility, and electrification, and how transportation technology can be shaped to achieve Santa Monica’s community goals. The cultural changes generating these transformative technologies extend well beyond the scale of Santa Monica, but the City can choose how to engage and incorporate them. Their effects on streets, transportation systems, safety, congestion and emissions are still very much local issues. This section provides links to the work of lead cities that are developing flexible adaption strategies. Ideas for short-term (1 year) and mid-term (2-3 year) activities for Santa Monica are in Attachment E, and summarized below along with a list of current staff work efforts that support the overall approach. Benefits and Challenges of New Transportation Technology There is unprecedented levels of private sector investment in transportation technology development, fueled by the market demand for easier and cheaper mobility. Technology companies and auto manufacturers are investing heavily in research and development of new computer-driven vehicles and business models based on providing mobility services (not just vehicle sales). Transportation services have multiplied with the help of venture capital funds, which reportedly continue to subsidize operations. Access to 22 of 30 mobility options, increased convenience, and a competitive cost per mile (whether subsidized or not) have been game-changers for individuals and cities. Vehicle automation, shared mobility, and electrification are associated with a number of environmental, social and transportation benefits, as well as a number of challenges in those same categories. Vehicle Automation: Partially automated vehicles are in testing, and some predict fully driverless vehicles as early as 2020. Autonomous vehicles could transform the way people and goods move through cities. How automation rolls out will depend on many choices. For example, will people primarily own their automated vehicle, or will they be commercial fleet services for hire; will automated vehicles be more or less able than human drivers to safely interact with people on the streets; will transit and goods delivery jobs be replaced or complemented? For some, automated vehicles are a technological innovation that will eliminate congestion and barriers to free movement, for others automation is an extension of the auto-dependence that has generated the congestion we have today and will have the same result.    Benefit Challenge Riders would gain productive use of driving time. Driverless fleet services could offer reduced per mile costs due to staff savings. Youth, seniors and people without a license could travel independently. AVs would induce new and longer trips (measured in vehicle miles traveled or VMT) and emissions. Cars traveling more miles will increase congestion, requiring appropriate countermeasures to curb negative externalities. Professional drivers could lose gainful employment. Action: increase vehicle sharing to mitigate increased VMT (shared rides, and shared ownership if applicable), create tools to maximize street person-capacity and vehicle efficiency.   Shared Mobility:  Shared Mobility refers to a very diverse collection of services that facilitate the sharing of rides and/or vehicles, including car-sharing, ride-hailing, bike-sharing, micro-transit, etc. A helpful list of types and definitions from the Shared Use Mobility Center is 23 of 30 included in Attachment D. Shared mobility services are typically pay-per-use services based on a credit-card enabled account. Some services are new and some are duplicative but add consumer convenience or other amenities. Similarly, some shared devices are new but others just operate in a new way. These services are coming from the private sector, which raises some concerns about longevity and equity. For example what happens when new services cannibalize public transit but then go out of business? How can people without credit cards get access? And what should cities do when private sector car-services create so much congestion that no vehicles can move, and even bike lanes are blocked? And as new devices proliferate, how can space be created for safe movement and access? The principles discussed above can help inform the process of answering these questions, and the continued work of managing street space for the movement and access of all. Benefit Challenge Riders get as-needed access to transportation services. Increases travel options, including replacing short trips with zero- or low-emission devices that also require less right-of-way space to move. Research shows reduced vehicle ownership and VMT among people who use multiple shared services. Can reduce overall cost of transportation per capita. Shared services are drawn to activity centers, adding to congestion and slowing public transit service where it is most needed. Ride-hailing services add to VMT and emissions, and rarely offer zero- emission options. Some services and devices add functionality or convenience, but some cannibalize transit riders. New shared mobility devices can clutter public rights-of-way. Lack of access by users without smart phones or credit cards. Action: support public mass transit through infrastructure and service improvements, prioritize the highest-capacity shared ride services and lowest-emission modes.  Electrification: Improved battery quality and longevity are reducing electric vehicle (EV) and fuel costs, and improving range - leading to consumer savings and increased EV use. There are positive signs that market forces will propel on-going EV market penetration. Santa Monica recently adopted an EV Action Plan to catalyze electrification. Benefit Challenge Reduced consumer cost of vehicle ownership and fueling. Using renewable Reduced consumer travel costs typically induce use and miles traveled. EVs still add 24 of 30 energy supply can significantly reduce net transportation emissions compared to non- renewables. New smaller electric mobility devices such as electric shuttles and electric bicycles/tricycles can reduce overall power load and space needs. to congestion and suffer from it. Action: maximize renewable energy sourcing, encourage diverse electric mobility choices.    Safety: Cars driven by a computer would eliminate driver error as a cause of collisions. Since driver error is a factor in 95% of incidents and distracted driving is on the rise, automation is expected to save lives. The system of software, sensors, communication and equipment necessary for a computer to drive a vehicle is complex. Technology is progressing rapidly, but premature deployment is life-threatening. Auto makers are adding passenger protections, but automated response to less predictable roadway users like people walking and biking, and construction workers remains a challenge. Action: Advocate for a focus on the safety of people in the public streets from the private sector. Data: As cars get smarter, the amount and type of data they process, collect and produce increase exponentially. Fast and stable communication networks are the backbone of an AV’s location and orientation systems. Cars will also increasingly produce information about roadway conditions, travel speeds, vehicle operations, origins and destinations, and much more. Who owns the data (automakers, software providers, or customers), and who has access to it (private sector, public sector) are important policy discussions happening at the highest government levels. Action: Advocate for consumer privacy as well as secure public access to operational data that can assist with roadway management and maintenance. What have other Lead Agencies done?  Cities across the country are grappling with these new opportunities and challenges. 25 of 30 They have initiated new work efforts and areas of exploration to guide change so that it best fits within their communities. Many have developed pilots and other strategies to test and reflect on the results. Some have crafted policies and plans to guide the myriad efforts on data, communications, regulation, operation and maintenance.     Seattle Department of Transportation "New Mobility Playbook" - Outlines a series of collective efforts to advance safety, justice and sustainability and avoid congestion, unsafe streets and expensive, exclusive services. SDOT is restructuring to create a New Mobility Program partially funded by new mobility permit revenues, and align staff and resources with the playbook strategies.     Los Angeles Department of Transportation "Transportation Technology Strategy”- The strategy defines a roadmap for integrating shared mobility, technology-enabled transportation experiences, and AVs into department planning and operations to maximize the benefits to public safety, sustainability and roadway efficiency. LADOT is integrating recommendations from the technology strategies into the 2018-2020 work program including investments to modernize equipment, using data driven metrics to guide decisions, and creating a citywide plan for autonomous and shared mobility services.     North American City Transportation Officials (NACTO) "Blueprint for Autonomous Urbanism" - The blueprint describes the critical role that cities play in designing safe streets that provide for more modes of travel and people, encourage more active and shared travel, and that maximize space for people concurrent with deploying autonomous vehicles.     Shared Use Mobility Center "Shared Mobility Action Plan for Los Angeles County" - The plan focuses on strategies and tactics to reduce the number of vehicles by 2% in LA County. The plan stipulates that this modest but impactful change can be achieved by expanding existing networks including transit, car sharing, bike sharing, and building mobility hubs throughout the County.    Two themes in the work of lead cities are to proactively renovate streets and to continue to provide crucial transportation services, to ensure that there is service equity and continuity. Many also note that cities can strategically influence mobility choices through system management and pricing structures so that the most sustainable, equitable, and 26 of 30 efficient systems are the most convenient and cost-effective. For example, cities are considering how to organize roadways so that higher-occupancy vehicles and low- emission modes receive lane or intersection priority. Another theme is the realignment of work groups to adapt to the significant changes in policy questions, public/private partnership, data, and outcomes. Cities are staying engaged in this environment of rapid change so they can be proactively ready for new challenges.  Santa Monica has already engaged with some of the changes, forging partnership with Lyft for Dial-a-Ride services and launching a successful citywide bike share system. However examples like the arrival of electric scooters this fall provided perspective on the scale and complexity of these challenges, particularly when initiated by the private sector. Existing regulations, infrastructure (both operational and physical), and resources aren't suited to shared mobility options. Staff will be coming forward in the upcoming months with a proposed trial program for shared mobility services. But the scale and scope of this challenge necessitates a much broader strategy including a range of actions, investments, and management tools.    What can Santa Monica do? At this early stage, Santa Monica can start with identifying priorities for engaging with both automated vehicles and shared mobility so that each contribute to, rather than detract from, our community's shared vision for the future. Applying the principles articulated earlier, Santa Monica should specifically work toward:  Vehicle automation that is safer for people on the street, and which does not increase local congestion and emissions, and    Shared mobility that supports transit and shared rides, expands mobility options, increases roadway efficiency, and reduces emissions.   As succinctly stated in the NACTO Blueprint: "The New Mobility network has public mass transit as the backbone of the transportation network, while autonomous vehicles, biking and walking complement the core parts of the network and provide service where mass transit is not as efficient. Public agencies and private companies could work in 27 of 30 tandem to actively manage the network with volume, mode and speed thresholds controlled through real-time pricing and curbside demand management." By pursuing this vision, Santa Monica streets can move more people with fewer vehicles which creates opportunity to repurpose road space for community members. With more people on the street, our streets become safer and we get closer to eliminating tragic injuries and fatalities. And when clean energy powers the vehicles we use, we can eliminate the 65% of Santa Monica's emissions that come from transportation and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Many of the City's existing work efforts already support new mobility because of Council and executive leadership over recent years. Continuing the following efforts will help support the long-range goals: Existing Work Efforts Departments Investing in transit, especially on high volume routes, and regularly evaluating transit system performance BBB Renovating streets with additional safety measures and protections for vulnerable people on the street, and streets that prioritize sustainable and active modes like transit, walking and biking PCD, PW Collaborating among departments in planning for autonomous and shared mobility through AV and Shared Mobility working groups PCD, ISD, PW, PD, CMO, CAO Collaborating regionally on interoperability efforts and transportation planning through the Westside COG and Metro PCD, CM Using parking pricing and parking sharing tools to maximize use of existing parking resources PCD Expanding EV charging and implementing occupancy management tools PW Fostering a culture of mobility innovation through the Mobility Strategic Goal PCD, CM Developing the Citywide Economic Strategy to identify new transportation funding mechanisms that build fiscal stability HED, CM Providing mobility information to support travel diversity and behavior change PCD, BBB In spite of this good work, new technology has disrupted "business as usual" for transportation planning and management, and the complementary efforts of other departments. Similar to Vision Zero, cities are having to adjust structures, work plans, budgets and procedures to maintain effectiveness. Attachment E outlines a number of 28 of 30 new short-term (1-year) and mid-term (2-3) year steps in advocacy, infrastructure, data management and policy for Council consideration and feedback such as: Advocacy  Join State and Federal legislative advocacy for multi-modal safety, equity and sustainability  Engage the public in discussions about new mobility  Outreach to senior, low-income, communities of color, and people with disabilities to reduce barriers to new mobility Infrastructure & Services  Pursue additional transit and high-capacity vehicle prioritization  Pilot low-emission micro-transit service for shorter intra-city trips  Fill in service gaps with flexible providers with low- or no-emission vehicles  Co-locate multiple shared mobility and EV charging in on-street Mobility Hubs  Develop a long-term permitting system for shared mobility devices with performance criteria  Consolidate sensor and communications equipment for streetscape quality  Develop connectivity strategies for Purple Line subway extension to the VA Policy  Create performance metrics for street efficiency that move people in fewer vehicles   Develop a new curbside management strategy, starting with Downtown  Consider transition strategies needed during periods of partial automation  Develop new street design criteria and operational targets  Create criteria for reallocation of underutilized street space to protect pedestrians, and create green space in neighborhoods and gathering areas  Reorganize and expand capacity to successfully engage with mobility changes Data  Develop data-sharing, partnership, and performance protocols for new mobility  Engage with third-party data platforms for secure open data 29 of 30 Council input on the priorities listed in Attachment E and summarized above, including input on the city's desired level of engagement and leadership on these issues, would help to guide next steps. Each effort could be worthwhile, but is also above and beyond the existing work of staff. A prioritization will help staff to allocate appropriate time and resources. Additional study session could also help to determine a strategic work plan with staffing, budget and resources. In the near term, PCD is preparing a pilot program for Council consideration that would enable permitted shared mobility devices to use portions of the public right-of-way. This was an unplanned effort, and accommodated due to unforeseen private actions and significant community concerns. The pilot will enable testing of permit conditions and operating options, to be followed with revisions and updates based on lessons learned and data evaluation. Financial Impacts and Budget Actions  There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of this study session’s policy discussion. However, pursuing a new model of mobility involves a significant shift of capital and staff resources to achieve, including transportation-related funding sources, grant opportunities and private investment. Staff will use comments received at this study session to inform priorities for mobility-related projects and allocation of staff resources and return to Council as specific budget actions are required in the future. Council will consider the FY 2018-20 Biennial Capital Improvement Program Budget at a Budget Study Session in May.

It is a guide for near-term work efforts, rooted in actions that are specific, measurable, and concrete. It is important to note that it is not the final work plan to realize Vision Zero in Santa Monica, which is why it also contains a look ahead to the subsequent three years to help guide staffing and resource commitments. Contents of subsequent work plans may be different from what is included herein, as the actions will be tailored to address the conditions borne out by the data. Subsequent 2-year work plans will be developed and presented to Council. This Plan is organized into five key areas: • Data-driven decision making: Develop a precise, data-driven decision-making system. Identify the locations of highest need and evaluate collision reports to identify the most effective countermeasures. Share data between departments and regularly convene a safety task force of key City departments. Evaluate capital improvement projects and programs to learn what works and where changes are needed. • Safer streets for all ages and abilities: Speed is the biggest factor in whether a collision is minor or fatal. Design and enforce street operations so that drivers travel at appropriate speeds where people are walking and biking. Build a network of neighborhood greenways, low-stress routes that parallel busier corridors and connect to parks, schools, jobs and services. Conduct regular enforcement operations targeting speeding and distracted driving, especially along the Priority Network. • An engaged and alert community: For too long, collisions have been accepted as an unfortunate cost of travel, so long as our friends and loved ones are not among the victims. Cause a shift in awareness by engaging with the community through presentations about roadway safety. • Supporting policies: Institutionalize Vision Zero principles in our daily work to support the work in other categories. Ensure roadway safety is a prioritized metric in the City’s budget process, create policy to minimize construction impacts to road users, and advocate for safety improvements to Pacific Coast Highway, which is managed by Caltrans. • Safer vehicles: Improve the safety of City fleet vehicles and their operators. Educate drivers about cyclists and the maneuvers they make to improve predictability and safety. Establish local policy regarding autonomous vehicles and identify smaller-footprint fleet vehicles to enable slower street designs.

in discussions with State and local agencies, and professional organizations (e.g., NACTO, TRB, etc.) on the advancement of driverless technologies Priority Network Map The Priority Network map was created by evaluating 11 years of fatal and severe injury data starting in 2006. An index was created using the following formula: 1.5 x (# of fatalities) + (# of severe injuries). The Priority Network represents 10% (or 15 miles) of streets and 4% of intersections. The map identifies areas where fatal and severe injury incidents have occurred, and is a guide for subsequent efforts. These areas would be the first to receive more detailed evaluation of collision reports, so that any necessary countermeasures can be identified. Street segments were added to the map in ¼ mile segments based on clusters of crashes, both at intersections and those that occurred at mid-block locations, until approximately 50% of the fatal and severe injury incidents were represented. Additionally, the top 10 intersections under the City’s control were identified and mapped as well as one intersection on Pacific Coast Highway. The Santa Monica Freeway (Interstate 10) is excluded as the City plays no role in enforcement, maintenance, or management of the freeway. Pacific Coast Highway is shown in orange as the City has a limited role in the operation of this roadway. SMPD responds to collisions and enforces PCH from the McClure Tunnel to the northern City limit. The City of Los Angeles Vision Zero Network is shown in yellow. Bikesharing IT-enabled, public bikesharing provides real-time information and uses technology to assist in rebalancing demand for bikes at docking stations throughout a community. Bikesharing comes in a variety of forms, including dock-based and dockless systems, tech-light solutions that do not place technology in the bike or dock, and peer-to-peer bikesharing. SHARED MOBILITY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS Following is an overview of common shared-use mobility terminology: Carsharing Carsharing is a service that provides members with access to an automobile for short-term—usually hourly—use. Types of carsharing include traditional or round-trip carsharing, which requires customers to borrow and return vehicles at the same location; one-way carsharing, which allows customers to pick up a vehicle at one location and drop it off at another; and peer-to-peer carsharing, which allows car owners to monetize the excess capacity of their vehicles by enrolling them in carsharing programs. Ridesourcing Ridesourcing providers, such as Uber and Lyft, use online platforms to connect passengers with drivers who use personal, non-commercial vehicles. These services were codified first in California state law and subsequently in many other jurisdictions as Transportation Network Companies (TNCs). Ridesourcing has become one of the most recognized and ubiquitous forms of shared mobility. Ride-splitting TNCs have begun providing services in select cities such as San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles that combine fares to reduce vehicle trips and generate cost savings. Uber Pool and Lyft Line allow drivers to add additional passengers to a trip in real time. These services are known as “ride-splitting”—since the passengers split the cost of the trip—and continue to evolve as companies experiment with various models. Shuttles Traditional shuttle services include corporate, regional, and local shuttles that make limited stops and only serve riders from specific employers, buildings, or residential developments. One example is the “Google Bus,” which transports the technology company’s San Francisco-based employees to and from Silicon Valley each day. Ridesharing/Carpooling At its core, ridesharing involves adding additional passengers to a trip that will already take place. Such an arrangement provides additional transportation options for riders while allowing drivers to fill otherwise empty seats in their vehicles. Types of ridesharing include carpooling, vanpooling, and real-time or dynamic ridesharing services such as Tripda and Blablacar. Public Transit Transit – publicly owned fleets of buses, trains, and ferries that generally operate on fixed routes and schedules – provides the foundation for most other forms of shared-use mobility. Microtransit Technology-enabled private shuttle services, such as Bridj and Chariot, serve passengers using dynamically generated routes, usually between designated stop locations rather than door-to-door. Because they provide transit-like service but on a smaller, more flexible scale, these new services have been referred to as “microtransit.” In general, they draw customers who are willing to pay somewhat more for greater comfort and service. Mobility Hubs Mobility hubs are strategically located transfer points that feature facilities for multiple transportation modes (such as bikesharing, carsharing, and transit) combined in one location. 7 8 Attachment E: New Mobility Short-term and Mid-Term work effort options Shared Mobility  Many cities are presently working towards understanding the role that shared mobility can play in local communities. However, shared mobility presents a regulatory burden as agencies struggle to find the right balance to properly regulate, incentivize, and or even permit the use of the different devices on local streets. Early adopters like ride- hailing services are regulated at the State level leaving cities to deal with congestion, limited local controls, and a lack of data. Cities can develop a more proactive approach to shared mobility services and devices that support many trip types and travelers, and organizes the massive proliferation of shared mobility in an already congested network. Santa Monica is ahead of many cities in having a clear vision for a diverse transportation eco-system that includes people sharing rides, riding transit, walking, biking and socializing on calm streets. The burgeoning public-private partnership between Big Blue Bus and Lyft provides a local example where private interest and public benefits align. Santa Monica can leverage this experience to work closer with other private entities to increase mobility options, gain a greater understanding of the differing data challenges, and create synergistic opportunities that expand mobility to all Santa Monica residents. Locally Santa Monica should look at creating tools and strategies that work to integrate new shared services that are transit supportive, expand mobility options, increase the efficiency of the street network, reduce congestion, and reduce emissions.   Shared Mobility:  Short Term (1-year) Mid Term  (2-3+ years) New Devices/ Services   • Pilot permitting system for shared mobility devices   • Pursue electric bike share expansion • Seek private sector involvement in safety education • Establish permit system for shared mobility devices  • Increase EV shared bicycle fleet to 25% of total system  • Expand car-sharing system • Pilot low-emission delivery services with local businesses  • Pursue creation of an open marketplace for "mobility as a service" • Pursue aligning fare payment systems, and promote systems that integrate for payment and multi-modal trip planning Shared Mobility:  Short Term (1-year) Mid Term  (2-3+ years) Infrastructure  • Curb space allocation project in Downtown • Pursue Downtown TNC zone creation   • Pursue co-location of shared mobility services, EV infrastructure and transit (Mobility Hubs)  • Citywide curb space reallocation strategy • Create Mobility Hubs with multiple mobility services and EV charging  • Install sensing equipment to monitor street efficiency Policy  • Identify SMMC regulatory conflicts   • Identify public-private partnership structure options • Articulate transit-supportive policy for shared mobility • Manage risk related to emerging mobility systems  • Revise SMMC as needed • Advocate to retain local control of shared mobility services  • Develop policy for reallocation of underutilized street space • Develop a New Mobility strategy adopted by Council  • Adopt street efficiency performance metrics   • Investigate pricing mechanisms for managing demand • Collaborate regionally for interoperability Data Management  • Same as AV recommendations    • Same as AV recommendations     Vehicle Automation Industry advocates are active on the federal and state levels, and cities have not been invited into the decision-making process. Larger cities have begun to work with advocacy groups to expand the voice of local agencies, where the most transformative effects of this technology will be felt. Santa Monica can play a role in advocating for safe and sustainable AV implementation, as well as data transparency, security and access.  Locally, Santa Monica should begin to prepare its physical and technology infrastructure. Cities will need to develop strategies for curb space management, lane prioritization and access, and upgrades to infrastructure to encourage higher-capacity and more efficient systems. These steps are crucial for strategic management of the street to reduce congestion, and encourage higher-capacity travel that reduces emissions. Cities also will need to collect larger and more timely data and be able to manage, store, and properly analyze the most important aspects of the data to produce greater safety benefits.     Autonomous Vehicles:   Short Term (1 year) Mid term  (2-3+ years) Engage/ Advocate  • Join LA and CA advocacy efforts on AV and Shared Mobility for safety, equity, and shared/fleet-based AV • Host community discussions on AV and Shared Mobility • Develop public education materials • Establish protocols and policies regarding:  AV safety performance, AV City fleet vehicles, AV commercial activities   • Incorporate AV and Shared Mobility materials into GoSaMo campaign Infrastructure  • Expedite additional protected facilities for people in the street • Implement curb space management strategy for Downtown • Investigate steps needed to pilot high-occupancy vehicle lanes (surface streets)    • Upgrade equipment to support secure communication, and maximize consolidation for streetscape quality   • Develop speed mitigation requirements for AV based on land use context • Adopt principles of street operation & geometry for safe concurrent human- driven and AV • Regularly sync street conditions with AV services • Develop reduced lane width and roadway space standards for AV operations Autonomous Vehicles:   Short Term (1 year) Mid term  (2-3+ years) Data Management  • Engage AV companies to identify data sharing protocols   • Identify new mobility data processing needs • Work with NACTO, ITE on data management best practices  • Partner with third party data platform that provides open access to anonymized data • Regularly collect and analyze curbside, transit and driver behavior data • Create public/private data sharing protocols   • Create new mobility data evaluation capacity  • Incorporate monitoring into MobilityStat    Policy Guidance  • Same as Shared Mobility • Same as Shared Mobility   1 Vernice Hankins From:Estefania Zavala on behalf of Council Mailbox Sent:Tuesday, February 27, 2018 1:51 PM To:councilmtgitems Subject:FW: Item 4B Mobility Strategic Goal Update and Discussion Attachments:SM_Spoke_w_500px.gif; Principles for Safe, Livable & Sustainable Streets FINAL.pdf; Principles for Safe, Livable & Sustainable Streets Spanish FINAL.pdf; 2018 Feb 27 Agenda Item 4B SM Spoke SaMoSSA.pdf     From: Cynthia Rose [mailto:Cynthia.Rose@SMSpoke.org]   Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 1:19 PM  To: Council Mailbox <Council.Mailbox@SMGOV.NET>; Rick Cole <Rick.Cole@SMGOV.NET>; David Martin  <David.Martin@SMGOV.NET>; Francie Stefan <Francie.Stefan@SMGOV.NET>  Cc: Terry O’Day <Terry.Oday@smgov.net>; Kevin McKeown Fwd <kevin@mckeown.net>; Tony Vazquez  <Tony.Vazquez@SMGOV.NET>; Sue Himmelrich <Sue.Himmelrich@SMGOV.NET>; Pam OConnor  <Pam.OConnor@SMGOV.NET>; Ted Winterer <Ted.Winterer@SMGOV.NET>; Gleam Davis <gleam.davis@gmail.com>;  Jason Parry <parryj@gte.net>; Amy Nancy Anderson <andersonsmpc@yahoo.com>; Mario@fbharchitects.com; Gerda  Newbold <gnewbold@gmail.com>; Nina Fresco <freddycan@freddycan.net>; Jennifer Kennedy  <Jennifer.Kennedy@SMGOV.NET>; Richard McKinnon <richard@richardmckinnon.com>; leslielambert92@gmail.com;  Kyle Kozar <Kyle.Kozar@SMGOV.NET>; Jason Kligier <Jason.Kligier@SMGOV.NET>  Subject: Item 4B Mobility Strategic Goal Update and Discussion  February 27, 2018 Dear Mayor, City Council, City management and staff On May 9th 2017 and again June 27, Council gave clear direction to explore the creation of a staff coordinator to implement Vision Zero as Santa Monica looks toward its future of “A New Model of Mobility” - one of five strategic goals adopted by the City in 2015. However, in 2017, nine people were killed and 25 severely injured in collisions on the streets of Santa Monica, more than two times the annual average of four fatalities in the years between 2006-2016. These collisions cannot be brushed aside as “accidents”. These crashes are Item 4-B 02/27/18 1 of 15 Item 4-B 02/27/18 2 predictable and therefore preventable. No traffic death is acceptable. We must have meaningful and true commitment to Vision Zero that prioritizes safe streets and safe mobility for everyone — regardless of whether you walk, bike or drive a car. We have yet to see meaningful commitment to Councils direction beyond words on a page and a pot of money to partially fund a few projects; both lack a dedication of staff to implement these meaningful and necessary projects or efficiently utilize these valuable, limited resources. New revenue streams including state and local funding currently present a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest tens of millions of dollars to reshape our City’s largest public space into a vital and safe infrastructure for connectivity, environmental resilience and community cohesion. While we continue to be impressed with the Mobility Department’s commitment and ability - no real progress has been made or seen for some time. We have an award winning Bike Action Plan (2011) that is stale and has seen little progress in recent years. While I believe our enthusiasm has not faltered, our progress has slowed with no visible projects hitting the streets. In Santa Monica we have a demonstrated history of how talented and dedicated staff have produced undeniable successes and great results. We have aimed high, and thus have achieved huge environmental and sustainability successes such as increased water conservation, implementing a nationally-recognized Wellness Project and with the initial implementation of the Bike Action Plan where we saw substantial projects that resulted in increased biking and active transportation. We know healthy active mobility options contribute to a healthier environment and community — and improve our overall transportation network for all modes. Each of these successes have been reached because of dedicated staffing and budget in order to achieve real and meaningful results. 
The ultimate cost for not meeting our commitment to Vision Zero is the loss of human life and the decimation of families and community. Money will never have a brain or specific expertise, money alone cannot make the strategic and tactical decisions to realize the commitment to our City’s goal of safe streets for all — and zero traffic fatalities by 2026 — only people can, the time to start is now. Fixing problems is more intensive and costs money. Preventative measures save money and in this case save lives. It is time for a fresh approach and a commitment to “fixing” outdated auto centric 1950’s planning policies that along with technology have made safety on our streets exponentially worse — we must be visionary and proactive to identify and address new age problems with new age solutions. Santa Monica must continue to be a catalyst and leader in protecting the lives of our residents and visitors. Last May we heard our City Manager recount how Bill Bratton was laughed at because he wanted to “prevent crimes”. However he made his vision a reality in NY! Let us not laugh off proactive implementation to Vision Zero and saving lives in Santa Monica. New York City has seen a 23% reduction in traffic fatalities in the three years since implementing Vision Zero. Fremont, California adopted Vision Zero in 2015 and has since seen a 25% reduction in traffic fatalities. We can do this! We must progress beyond words on a page and put in place proactive, transparent systems and policies to align workflows and get all city departments focused in the right direction - and in unison - like focusing Public Works maintenance on higher crash locations, interdepartmental coordination of city divisions and integration of projects and opportunities to oversee and make sure all departments, contractors and engineers are coordinating the right “people-first” trade offs. We must have funding and specific, coordinated actions toward this vision if we truly want to succeed in reducing preventable traffic injuries and fatalities in 10 years. All budget and policy decisions involve difficult tradeoffs, but there can be no tradeoffs when it comes to lives in our community and the rising epidemic of serious injuries and traffic fatalities. We must not continue to dehumanize these preventable deaths and injuries by making them so abstract that they seem as though they are Item 4-B 02/27/18 2 of 15 Item 4-B 02/27/18 3 someone else’s problem. We must prioritize these necessary changes in practice to institutionalize, catalyze and guide efforts and focus to reduce traffic fatalities to zero. We fully support the initial monetary commitment to jump-start and implement a few key safety projects. However it is imperative that we use a data-driven process and dedicated capable leadership to implement strategies that evaluate our progress and institute adjustments as necessary without collectively diluting the efforts of an already busy staff. Good data is essential for understanding what the tradeoffs are and to help provide transparency when challenging decisions are made. Good data is also the best bases of transparently and accurately measuring outcomes and results.
 In Santa Monica we lead with sustainability initiatives and the Wellbeing Project which prioritizes human health and safety. Let’s continue this legacy and prioritize creating streets that are sustainable environmental systems that encourage active transportation and are safe for people to walk, bike or drive. Our infrastructure must remove barriers to safety in order to make it a viable choice for a healthy and active multi-modal eco system — one that must also include creating a framework to make continued safety implementations real. Business as usual won’t get us there, and business as usual doesn't change without effort, time, commitment and people.

Yet, serious problems persist: • Increasing traffic violence continues to afflict our community. • Too many households do not have access to reliable and affordable mobility options. • Our streets exacerbate environmental instability with local urban heat and water problems. • Car-oriented streets increase traffic, CO2 and particle pollution thereby depleting air quality, public health and well-being. New revenue streams, including state and local funding, present a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest tens of millions of dollars to reshape our City’s largest public space into a vital and safe infrastructure for connectivity, environmental resilience and community cohesion. The following represent our “North Star” goals that should guide Santa Monica’s policy-makers to invest in complete streets that are safe and welcoming for everyone in the City of Santa Monica. WE BELIEVE THAT:
 1. No traffic fatalities are acceptable. The City needs to follow best practices in engineering, enforcement and education in order to fulfill its commitment to “Vision Zero”: eliminating severe and fatal injury collisions by 2026. Traffic collisions must not be brushed aside as “accidents”: collisions are predictable and therefore preventable. These preventable collisions can be eliminated through education, enforcement and engineering. With the number of crashes involving fatalities or severe injuries climbing at alarming rates, we reaffirm that the time is now to make a strong commitment to Vision Zero with true and meaningful investments in safer streets. 2. Invest resources to improve equity. Our transportation investments must be distributed equitably but should prioritize neighborhoods, residents and workers with the highest need and those who have been historically underserved. Scarce public resources should be directed towards communities that are most disproportionately impacted by pollution, traffic collisions and a lack of transportation options. 3. All students and children have a right to walk, bike or scoot safely to school. Crashes are the leading cause of death for American children. Safe routes to schools facilitate and encourage active transportation, 1 which enable academic performance, concentration and behavior. Active transportation benefits students regardless of age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity or prior achievement scores. As childhood obesity and inactivity are on the rise, active transportation options need significant support so that every student has the opportunity to safely travel on foot, bike, skateboard, etc. to school. 4. Access for all. Our mobility and transportation systems should equitably serve Santa Monica residents and all those who study, work or visit in our community, regardless of gender, age, ability, income, race, or socioeconomic status. Transit service should be affordable for anyone. Everyone should feel personally safe when traveling through our community. To help ensure that commitment, our dedicated public safety officials should serve as a model of 21st Century constitutional policing.

 5. Our transportation system should generate zero emissions. Transportation emissions comprise 64% of Santa Monica’s climate-changing carbon pollution. Local air pollutants continue to diminish public health, 2 particularly the health of residents living near major transportation corridors. We should invest our resources towards achieving a zero emissions bus and municipal fleet and aggressively facilitate a rapid transition to zero emission cars and trucks, including within less advantaged parts of our communities. 6. Streets are our largest public space. Our streets occupy approximately 23% of our community space. Our streets do more than transport people and things. Street planning should integrate mobility and place-making to enhance social, economic and cultural opportunities, as well as our well-being needs. Our investments should uplift our main commercial corridors as the essential social and economic places. Priority on our roadways should address the modes of travel that use this scarce space most efficiently: public transit, walking, biking, etc. On-street parking is the private use of valuable public space; management of this public resource needs to reflect that reality. 7. Streets are essential environmental systems. Our streets are critical components of our environmental and natural ecosystems that contribute to safeguarding water, air quality and climate resilience. We need to design our streets to capture rainwater to help replenish local supplies and divert polluted runoff from Santa Monica Bay. Paving with cool surfaces can reduce street temperatures by decreasing the heat created by asphalt. We need to protect and expand our urban forest to shade our streets, as well as clean our air and capture water. 
 8. Community co-creation is essential to enduring change. Diverse community voices are critical for identifying core values and the vision for transformative change. Project development should proactively engage community stakeholders from inception to completion, with an emphasis on diverse, underrepresented and historically marginalized communities.
 9. Data drives decisions. We need to invest in robust, transparent collection and analysis of data that enable the community to give informed input for City officials to make thoughtful decisions. All public policy decisions involve difficult tradeoffs. Good data is essential for understanding what the tradeoffs are and to help provide transparency when challenging decisions are made. Good data is also the best bases of transparently and accurately measuring outcomes.
 10. Plan our city and mobility together. Our neighborhoods, community gathering spaces and employment and learning centers have a profound impact on our mobility options and choices. Policies on housing, open space, community facilities, commercial development, public spaces, and other land use policies should give priority to clean, affordable and sustainable mobility. https://www.smgov.net/departments/pcd/agendas/Planning-Commission/2017/20171004/2 Electric%20Vehicle%20Action%20Plan/s201710047A%20EV%20Action%20Plan%20Draft.pdf Item 4-B 02/27/18 5 of 15 Item 4-B 02/27/18 SANTA MONICA Safe Streets Alliance Principios para Calles Seguras, Habitables y Sostenibles en Santa Mónica Santa Mónica ha alcanzado un importante punto de inflexión para la movilidad y el transporte activo: Expo Line ha conectado a nuestra comunidad con el resto de la región; nuestro sistema público bicicletas compartidas ha llegado a más de 83,000 usuarios activos; los planes aptos para peatones están tomando fuerza. Sin embargo, persisten serios problemas: • El aumento de la violencia de tráfico sigue afectando a nuestra comunidad. • Demasiados hogares no tienen acceso a opciones de movilidad fiables y asequibles. • Nuestras calles sufren/padecen la inestabilidad ambiental con problemas locales de calor y agua en las ciudades. • Las calles orientadas a los automóviles aumentan el tráfico, el CO2 y la contaminación de partículas, mermando la calidad del aire, la salud pública y el bienestar. Las nuevas fuentes de ingresos, incluidos los fondos estatales y locales, presentan una oportunidad única en la generación de invertir decenas de millones de dólares para remodelar el espacio público más grande de nuestra ciudad en una infraestructura vital y segura para la conectividad, resiliencia ambiental y cohesión comunitaria. Los siguientes representan nuestros objetivos "Estrella del Norte" que deberían guiar a los responsables políticos de Santa Mónica a invertir en calles completamente que sean seguras y acogedoras para todos en la Ciudad de Santa Mónica. NOSOTROS CREEMOS QUE: 1.No se aceptan fatalidades de tráfico. La Ciudad necesita seguir las mejores prácticas en ingeniería, cumplimiento y educación para cumplir su compromiso con la "Visión Cero": eliminar las colisiones con lesiones graves y mortales para 2026. Las colisiones de tráfico no deben descartarse como "accidentes": las colisiones son predecibles y por lo tanto evitables. Estas colisiones evitables se pueden eliminar a través de la educación, el cumplimiento y la ingeniería. Con el número de accidentes que involucran muertes o lesiones graves que aumentan a un ritmo alarmante, reafirmamos que ahora es el momento de comprometerse firmemente con Visión Cero con inversiones verdaderas y significativas en calles más seguras. 2.Invierte recursos para mejorar la equidad. Nuestras inversiones en transporte deben distribuirse equitativamente, pero deben priorizar los vecindarios, los residentes y los trabajadores con mayores necesidades y que históricamente carecen de servicios. Los escasos recursos públicos deben dirigirse a las comunidades que se ven más afectadas por la contaminación, las colisiones de tráfico y la falta de opciones de transporte. 3.Todos los estudiantes y niños tienen derecho a caminar, ir en bicicleta o en scoot de forma segura a la escuela. Los accidentes son la principal causa de muerte entre los niños estadounidenses. Las rutas seguras a1 las escuelas permiten y fomentan el transporte activo, a la vez que mejoran el rendimiento académico, la concentración y el comportamiento. El transporte activo beneficia a los estudiantes independientemente de su edad, nivel socioeconómico, origen étnico o puntajes de logros previos. A medida que la obesidad y la inactividad infantil van en aumento, las opciones de transporte activo necesitan un apoyo significativo para que cada estudiante tenga la oportunidad de viajar de manera segura a pie, en bicicleta, en monopatín, etc. a la escuela. https://www.cdc.gov/safechild/child_injury_data.html 1 Las calles seguras, habitables y sostenibles son acogedoras para todos y fortalecen nuestra comunidad. Item 4-B 02/27/18 6 of 15 Item 4-B 02/27/18 SANTA MONICA Safe Streets Alliance 4.Acceso para todos. Nuestros sistemas de movilidad y transporte deben servir equitativamente a los residentes de Santa Mónica y a todos aquellos que estudian, trabajan o visitan nuestra comunidad, independientemente de su sexo, edad, capacidad, ingresos, raza o condición socioeconómica. El servicio de tránsito debe ser asequible para cualquier persona. Todos deben sentirse personalmente seguros cuando viajan a través de nuestra comunidad. Para ayudar a garantizar ese compromiso, nuestros funcionarios dedicados a la seguridad pública deberían servir como modelo para la policía constitucional del siglo XXI. 5.Nuestro sistema de transporte debe generar cero emisiones. Las emisiones de transporte comprenden el 64% de la contaminación de carbono que cambia el clima de Santa Mónica. Los contaminantes atmosféricos2 locales continúan disminuyendo la salud pública, particularmente la salud de los residentes que viven cerca de los principales corredores de transporte. Deberíamos invertir nuestros recursos para lograr un autobús con cero emisiones y una flota municipal y agilizar la transición rápida a autos y camiones con cero emisiones, incluso en las partes menos favorecidas de nuestras comunidades. 6.Las calles son nuestro espacio público más grande. Nuestras calles ocupan aproximadamente el 23% de nuestro espacio comunitario. Nuestras calles hacen más que transportar personas y cosas. La planificación de las calles debe integrar la movilidad y la creación de lugares para mejorar las oportunidades sociales, económicas y culturales, así como nuestras necesidades de bienestar. Nuestras inversiones deberían elevar nuestros principales corredores comerciales como lugares sociales y económicos esenciales. La prioridad en nuestras carreteras debe abordar los modos de viaje que utilizan este espacio escaso de manera más eficiente: transporte público, caminar, ir en bicicleta, etc. El estacionamiento en la calle es el uso privado de un espacio público valioso; la gestión de este recurso público debe reflejar esa realidad. 7.Las calles son sistemas ambientales esenciales. Nuestras calles son componentes críticos de nuestros ecosistemas ambientales y naturales que contribuyen a salvaguardar el agua, la calidad del aire y la resiliencia climática. Necesitamos diseñar nuestras calles para capturar el agua de la lluvia para ayudar a reponer los suministros locales y desviar la escorrentía contaminada de la Bahía de Santa Mónica. Pavimentar con superficies frías puede reducir la temperatura de las calles al disminuir el calor creado por el asfalto. Necesitamos proteger y expandir nuestro bosque urbano para dar sombra a nuestras calles, así como para limpiar nuestro aire y capturar agua. 8.La co-creación de la comunidad es esencial para un cambio duradero. Las voces de la comunidad diversa son críticas para identificar los valores centrales y la visión para un cambio transformador. El desarrollo del proyecto debe involucrar de manera proactiva a las partes interesadas de la comunidad desde el inicio hasta la finalización, con énfasis en comunidades diversas, poco representadas e históricamente marginadas.
 9.Las decisiones de la unidad de datos. Necesitamos invertir en la recopilación y el análisis robusto y transparente de los datos que permitan a la comunidad brindar información bein fundada para que los funcionarios de la Ciudad tomen decisiones inteligentes. Todas las decisiones de política pública implican compensaciones difíciles. Los datos fiables son esenciales para entender cuáles son las compensaciones y para ayudar a proporcionar transparencia al tomar estas decisiones desafiantes. También, los buenos datos también son las mejores bases para medir de forma transparente y precisa los resultados.
 10.Planifica nuestra ciudad y movilidad juntos. Debido a que nuestros vecindarios, espacios de reunión comunitaria y centros de empleo y aprendizaje tienen un profundo impacto en nuestras opciones y decisiones de movilidad, las políticas sobre vivienda, espacios abiertos, instalaciones comunitarias, desarrollo comercial, espacios públicos y otras políticas de uso de la tierra deben dar prioridad a la movilidad asequible y sostenible. https://www.smgov.net/departments/pcd/agendas/Planning-Commission/2017/20171004/2 Electric%20Vehicle%20Action%20Plan/s201710047A%20EV%20Action%20Plan%20Draft.pdf Item 4-B 02/27/18 7 of 15 Item 4-B 02/27/18 A community group dedicated to biking in Santa Monica and Climate Action Santa Monica. Working to make the City of Santa Monica a more sustainable, bike-able place to live, work and play February 27, 2018 Dear Mayor, City Council, City management and staff On May 9th 2017 and again June 27, Council gave clear direction to explore the creation of a staff coordinator to implement Vision Zero as Santa Monica looks toward its future of “A New Model of Mobility” - one of five strategic goals adopted by the City in 2015. However, in 2017, nine people were killed and 25 severely injured in collisions on the streets of Santa Monica, more than two times the annual average of four fatalities in the years between 2006-2016. These collisions cannot be brushed aside as “accidents”. These crashes are predictable and therefore preventable. No traffic death is acceptable. We must have meaningful and true commitment to Vision Zero that prioritizes safe streets and safe mobility for everyone — regardless of whether you walk, bike or drive a car. We have yet to see meaningful commitment to Councils direction beyond words on a page and a pot of money to partially fund a few projects; both lack a dedication of staff to implement these meaningful and necessary projects or efficiently utilize these valuable, limited resources. New revenue streams including state and local funding currently present a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest tens of millions of dollars to reshape our City’s largest public space into a vital and safe infrastructure for connectivity, environmental resilience and community cohesion. While we continue to be impressed with the Mobility Department’s commitment and ability - no real progress has been made or seen for some time. We have an award winning Bike Action Plan (2011) that is stale and has seen little progress in recent years. While I believe our enthusiasm has not faltered, our progress has slowed with no visible projects hitting the streets. In Santa Monica we have a demonstrated history of how talented and dedicated staff have produced undeniable successes and great results. We have aimed high, and thus have achieved huge environmental and sustainability successes such as increased water conservation, implementing a nationally-recognized Wellness Project and with the initial implementation of the Bike Action Plan where we saw substantial projects that resulted in increased biking and active transportation. We know healthy active mobility options contribute to a healthier environment and community — and improve our overall transportation network for all modes. Each of these successes have been reached because of dedicated staffing and budget in order to achieve real and meaningful results. The ultimate cost for not meeting our commitment to Vision Zero is the loss of human life and the decimation of families and community. Money will never have a brain or specific expertise, money alone cannot make the strategic and tactical decisions to realize the commitment to our City’s goal of safe streets for all — and zero traffic fatalities by 2026 — only people can, the time to start is now. Fixing problems is more intensive and costs money. Preventative measures save money and in this case save lives. It is time for a fresh approach and a commitment to “fixing” outdated auto centric 1950’s planning policies that along with technology have made safety on our streets exponentially worse — we must be visionary and proactive to identify and address new age problems with new age solutions. Santa Monica must continue to be a catalyst and leader in protecting the lives of our residents and visitors. Item 4-B 02/27/18 8 of 15 Item 4-B 02/27/18 Last May we heard our City Manager recount how Bill Bratton was laughed at because he wanted to “prevent crimes”. However he made his vision a reality in NY! Let us not laugh off proactive implementation to Vision Zero and saving lives in Santa Monica. New York City has seen a 23% reduction in traffic fatalities in the three years since implementing Vision Zero. Fremont, California adopted Vision Zero in 2015 and has since seen a 25% reduction in traffic fatalities. We can do this! We must progress beyond words on a page and put in place proactive, transparent systems and policies to align workflows and get all city departments focused in the right direction - and in unison - like focusing Public Works maintenance on higher crash locations, interdepartmental coordination of city divisions and integration of projects and opportunities to oversee and make sure all departments, contractors and engineers are coordinating the right “people-first” trade offs. We must have funding and specific, coordinated actions toward this vision if we truly want to succeed in reducing preventable traffic injuries and fatalities in 10 years. All budget and policy decisions involve difficult tradeoffs, but there can be no tradeoffs when it comes to lives in our community and the rising epidemic of serious injuries and traffic fatalities. We must not continue to dehumanize these preventable deaths and injuries by making them so abstract that they seem as though they are someone else’s problem. We must prioritize these necessary changes in practice to institutionalize, catalyze and guide efforts and focus to reduce traffic fatalities to zero. We fully support the initial monetary commitment to jump-start and implement a few key safety projects. However it is imperative that we use a data-driven process and dedicated capable leadership to implement strategies that evaluate our progress and institute adjustments as necessary without collectively diluting the efforts of an already busy staff. Good data is essential for understanding what the tradeoffs are and to help provide transparency when challenging decisions are made. Good data is also the best bases of transparently and accurately measuring outcomes and results.
 In Santa Monica we lead with sustainability initiatives and the Wellbeing Project which prioritizes human health and safety. Let’s continue this legacy and prioritize creating streets that are sustainable environmental systems that encourage active transportation and are safe for people to walk, bike or drive. Our infrastructure must remove barriers to safety in order to make it a viable choice for a healthy and active multi-modal eco system — one that must also include creating a framework to make continued safety implementations real. Business as usual won’t get us there, and business as usual doesn't change without effort, time, commitment and people.
