9. Revise the Structure of the Vision Zero Committee of the Transportation Authority – ACTION* resolution
On February 25, 2014, through Resolution 14-58, the Transportation Authority established an ad hoc Vision Zero Committee to track and support the City’s progress toward prioritizing street safety and eliminating traffic deaths by 2024. As established, the Committee includes five members, with the Transportation Authority Chair serving as an ex-officio member. Consistent with Chair Wiener's 2016 committee assignments, we are recommending revising the structure of the Vision Zero Committee by downsizing it from five to three members to ensure that the Committee will be able to maintain quorum at its meetings.
10. Equity Strategy for the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency – INFORMATION* presentation
At the February Board meeting, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) staff will provide an update on the preliminary Fiscal Year 2017/18 recommendations from the Muni Service Equity Strategy, which is partially funded with Prop K sales tax dollars. In May 2014, the SFMTA Board adopted the Muni Equity Policy, which calls for a biennial Service Equity Strategy to be adopted on the same cycle as SFMTA’s budget and presented to the SFMTA and Transportation Authority Boards. The Service Equity Strategy builds on existing Title VI annual monitoring, uses a neighborhood-based approach to improving routes most critical to low-income/minority communities, and analyzes key indicators at all times of day including on-time performance, travel times, and crowding.
