5. Zero Traffic-Related Fatalities and Serious Injuries Action Plan
• THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council direct staff to report back on a strategy for achieving zero traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries, including: o A review of best practices from other jurisdictions,
o An action plan, and
o A funding strategy to accelerate implementation.
• BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Council direct staff to report back with quick start actions by June, 2016, and longer-term policies by November, 2016.
Council Resolution
Vision Zero: Peer Cities Review
• Initiated by Sweden in 1997
• Other countries in Europe o Netherlands
o Norway
o Spain
o Finland
• North America:o USA: 16 cities
o Canada: Edmonton, Ottawa, StrathconaCounty, Surrey, Toronto
Core Principles
• Traffic deaths are preventable and unacceptable
• Human life takes priority over mobility
• Policies at all levels of government need to align to make safety a priority
Vision Zero: Peer Cities Review
Key Areas of Focus
Vision Zero: Peer North American Cities Review
Engineering
Legislation Evaluation Education
Enforcement
Key Actions

• Engineering interventions in high priority areas
o Targeted speed reductions
o Intersection and corridor improvements
o Focus on vulnerable road users
• Vision Zero Task Force
• Education and Enforcement Strategies
• Legislation changes

Moving Towards Zero: Action Plan
Enhanced evaluation to understand traffic-related severe injuries and make data-driven decisions
Actions:
• Work with Health partners to better understand serious injury data
• Working with ICBC to share severity of traffic related injuries
• To better understand:o How many severe injuries happen per year ?
o When? Where? How? Who?
o Quantify non-vehicle related incidents
1. Enhanced Data
Develop Collision Prediction models
• Identify priority locations based on high risk fatal & severe injuries
• Conduct a vehicle & motorcycle study o 37% of fatalities
• Identify priority locations based on high presence of vulnerable road users (ie. seniors)
2. Evaluate and Prioritize Locations
2. Evaluate and Prioritize LocationsExample: Focus on Seniors
• Correlate serious injuries and fatalities with seniors areas
• Work with the Seniors Advisory Committee to identify strategies
Selected Seniors Centres
Hospitals
Community Centres
Libraries
Neighbourhood Houses
Swimming Pools
Overrepresented type of collision
Pedestrian collisions after dark
Turning vehicles & pedestrians at signals
Countermeasure
LED Lighting
Leading Pedestrian Intervals
Sidewalk bike riding & falling into traffic
Protected bike lanes
• Identify priority locations by countermeasure
2. Evaluate and Prioritize Locations
Detailed safety studies at priority locations
• Automated video conflict analysis at priority ranked locations
2. Evaluate and Prioritize Locations
Develop best safety practices toolkit & select the most effective solutions to address priority locations
• Validate Toolkit
• Pilot New Items
3. Engineering Action Plan
Evaluate pilot programs
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons3 locations in pilot
Accessible Pedestrian Signals2 locations in pilot
Leading Pedestrian Intervals
1 location in pilot
Lagging Right Turn Phase
Explore pilot location
Assess effectiveness and further implement
LED LightingLeft turn arrows Protected Intersections
and turn phases
Highlight conflict zones
3. Engineering Action Plan
Proactive safety
• All Ages and Abilities Bike Network expansion
• Active & safe travel plans to school
• Review key routes around seniors areas
• Policies for new infrastructureo LED lighting o Countdown timerso Sidewalkso Curb ramps
3. Engineering Action Plan
Target high risk behaviors
Actions:
• Work with VPD to develop targeted enforcement programs to tackle dangerous behaviors at priority locations• Speeding
• Failure to yield to pedestrians
• Failure to stop at signals
• Improper turning
• Disobeying signs
• Distracted/impaired driving
4. Enforcement
Engage Vancouverites to travel safely & continue to work in cooperation with safety partners
Actions:
• Create a Vision Zero website
• Report annual progress
• Work with VPD & ICBC on safety education campaigns
• Continue to work with Traffic Safety Advisory Group
5. Education and Public Outreach
Work with the provincial government towards zero safety goalActions:• Explore expanding red light camera
locations• Advocate for the return of speed camera
enforcement o School & parkso High fatal & severe injury locations
• Request changes to blanket speed limit• Advocate for changes under the Motor
Vehicle Act to protect vulnerable road userso Increased penalties for dangerous driving
6. Legislation
• Serious injury data analysiso ICBC
o Healthcare organizations
• Priority Intersection, Corridors & Neighborhoodso By countermeasure
o By vulnerable road users (ie. seniors, pedestrians etc)
o Select top locations for deep dive
• Engineering Action Plano Best practices toolkit
o Quick start action plan
