Vision Zero Action Plan - 2017 | Page 11

The City of Los Angeles will have zero traffic deaths by 2025 . This bold statement requires equally bold leadership and actions . We will achieve our desired outcomes by executing the actions and strategies ( see pages 38 – 39 ). Below is a summary of focus areas for 2017 .
CREATE SAFE STREETS FOR ALL

• Update 100 percent of the expired speed surveys on the priority corridors by the end of 2017 .
• Update all City street-design standards used by the Bureau of Public Works , the Department of Transportation , and the Department of City Planning to be consistent with the National Association of City Transportation Officials ’ Urban Street Design Guide , Transit Street Design Guide , and Urban Bikeway Design Guide and prioritize the safety of people walking and biking .
DEVELOP A CULTURE OF SAFETY
• Invest at least $ 2 million toward a comprehensive education campaign that addresses top collision factors , such as speeding and insobriety .
• Work with the Los Angeles Police Department ’ s ( LAPD ’ s ) Community Relations Office and Community Traffic Services units on enforcement efforts on the top traffic violations that contribute to the most deaths and serious injuries for people walking and biking .
