The Western Addition/Fillmore Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant implements the learnings from the CBTP and known traffic safety data, including unsafe speeds and failure to yield. While many tools are deployed and evaluated at specific locations based on safety data to prioritize their installation in the locations where they are needed the most, this type of community-based and network-based transportation planning can and does happen regularly at SFMTA.

Recommendation Response Text SFMTA has implemented. In 2022, the San Francisco Safe Routes to School (SF-SRTS) program developed a pedestrian safety activity for use at participating program schools. The SF-SRTS program already had resources and activities relating to youth bicycling safety and other related topics.

The SFMTA and SFUSD should continue to work together to increase the reach of these activities and resources to the whole school district instead of the current limited reach of the SF-SRTS program.
