CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.3
06/10/2025
SUBJECT: Adopt the City of Brentwood Local Roadway Safety Plan DEPARTMENT: Engineering
STAFF: Allen Baquilar, Director of Engineering/City Engineer Anju Pillai, Engineering Manager

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution adopting the City of Brentwood Local Roadway Safety Plan.

The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Section 15262.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost of the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., was $47,950. The cost of the LRSP is included in the 2024/25 General Fund Operating Budget.

BACKGROUND
Federal regulations require that each state have a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). A SHSP is a statewide data-driven traffic safety plan that coordinates the efforts of a wide range of organizations to reduce traffic accident fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. In coordination with federal, state, local, and private sector safety stakeholders, the SHSP establishes goals, objectives, and challenge areas of traffic safety.

While the SHSP is used as a statewide approach for improving roadway safety, a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) is a means for providing local and rural road owners with an opportunity to identify and address unique highway safety needs in their jurisdictions while contributing to the success of the SHSP. The LRSP offers a proactive approach to address safety needs and demonstrates the City’s responsiveness to safety challenges.

Along with all of the other cities in Contra Costa County, staff has prepared an LRSP (Attachment 2) to establish a framework and process for identifying, analyzing, and

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.3
06/10/2025
prioritizing roadway safety improvements on City streets. The LRSP is a localized data-driven plan that provides opportunities to address unique roadway safety needs and reduce the number of fatal and severe injury collisions on roadways within the City of Brentwood. The LRSP also provides a toolbox of countermeasures to address the safety patterns to improve safety at key locations. These countermeasures can be incorporated in future projects to address traffic safety.

The LRSP or its equivalent must be updated and validated at least every five years.

The City will then go through the similar process to review crash data, engage with stakeholders and identify new traffic challenge areas and develop recommendations.

Adoption of an LRSP (or equivalent document) is a minimum requirement to be eligible for multiple transportation grants, such as the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A), that fund projects that reduce or eliminate roadway fatalities and injuries. Eligible projects include those that provide safety improvements at both signalized and non-signalized intersections, pedestrian/bike projects and other roadway safety improvements.

Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) has prepared a Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Safety Action Plan (CCTSAP). The CCTSAP is intended to support scoping and multi-jurisdiction bundled applications for competitive grant funding application opportunities. The CCTSAP incorporates the LRSPs of each of the jurisdictions throughout Contra Costa County. After review by its Planning Committee on December 5, 2024, the CCTA Board approved the CCTSAP on December 18, 2024 (Attachment 3), with an ability to incorporate revisions thereafter.

CCTA has a contract commitment with Metropolitan Planning Commission (MTC), the funding grantor, to incorporate the countywide LRSPs into the CCTSAP by June 30, 2025, which will also include the City of Brentwood’s adopted LRSP. This incorporation of the City’s LRSP into the CCTSAP will ensure that the City’s efforts to promote road safety are recognized on a regional level and will give the City an advantage when applying for grant funding to implement local and cross-jurisdictional safety projects.

1. INTRODUCTION
This Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) identifies factors associated with the most prevalent vehicle crashes occurring in the City and proposes matching countermeasures to reduce or eliminate those crashes. This report identifies emphasis areas to inform and guide further safety evaluation of the City’s transportation network. The emphasis areas include the type of crash, certain locations, and notable relationships between current efforts and crash history. The LRSP analyzes crash data on an aggregate basis as well as at specific locations to identify high-crash locations, high-risk locations, and city-wide trends and patterns. The analysis of crash history throughout the City’s transportation network allows for the following opportunities:
 Identify factors in the transportation network that inhibit safety for roadway users of all modes of travel.
 Improve safety at high-crash locations and locations which experience a disproportionately high number of fatal and severe injury crashes.
 Develop safety measures aligning with the California Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Five Es of safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Services, and Emerging Technologies, to encourage safer driver behavior and more favorable severity outcomes.

The process and analysis performed for the City’s LRSP includes a summary of vision and goals, crash history analysis, the establishment of emphasis areas, an equity assessment, a countermeasure toolbox, and a set of policy recommendations. The information compiled will provide a foundation for decision making and prioritization of safety countermeasures and projects that enhance safety equitably for all modes of travel within the City. The expanded implementation section will provide guidance to the City on applying for grant funding from various safety programs.

The intent of the LRSP is to:
 Create a greater awareness of road safety and risks
 Reduce the number of fatal and severe-injury crashes
 Develop lasting partnerships
 Provide support for grant funding opportunities
 Aid in the prioritization of investments in traffic safety

1.1. Document Organization

2. VISION, GOAL, AND OBJECTIVES
The Brentwood LRSP evaluates the transportation network as well as non-infrastructure programs and policies within the City. Mitigation measures are evaluated using criteria to analyze the safety of road users (drivers and passengers, bicyclists, and pedestrians), the interaction of modes, influences on the roadway network from adjacent municipalities, and the potential benefits of safety countermeasures. This effort utilizes historical data to identify trends and develop a toolbox of countermeasures applicable to conditions in the City that can be used for proactive identification and implementation of opportunities, without relying solely on a reaction and response to crashes as they occur.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) maintains a list of Proven Safety Countermeasures. The list currently has 20 Proven Safety Countermeasures, and LRSPs are included on the list of 20 Proven Safety Countermeasures. Implementation of LRSPs has improved safety in local jurisdictions across the country by providing a guide for local jurisdictions to systematically address the conditions that lead to fatal and severe-injury crashes. They provide a locally developed and customized roadmap to directly address the most common safety challenges in the given jurisdiction. Following discussions with Brentwood staff and a review of existing plans and policies for the area, the following Vision, Goals, and Objectives have been established for this project.

Vision: Support the California vision of moving towards significantly reducing fatalities and severe injuries for all road users.

Goal Objectives
Goal 1: Identify areas with a high risk for
crashes.
• Evaluate the City’s roadway network for
crash activity.
• Identify intersections and segments in
need of mitigation.
• Identify areas of interest with respect to
safety concerns for pedestrians and
bicycles.

Goal 2: Illustrate the value of a comprehensive
safety program and the systematic process.
• Demonstrate the systematic process’
ability to identify locations with higher
risk for crashes based on present
characteristics closely associated with
severe crashes.
• Demonstrate, through the systematic
process, the gaps and data collection
activities that can be improved upon.

City of Brentwood LRSP 13 May 2025
Goal 3: Define safety improvements for the
near-, mid- and long-term, including projects
for HSIP, SS4A and other programs with
funding consideration.
• Create the outline for a prioritization
process that can be used in forthcoming funding cycles. • Demonstrate the correlation between
the proposed safety countermeasures
with the Vision Zero Initiative and the
California State Highway Safety Plan
(SHSP).

Goal 4: Identify emphasis areas to prioritize
countermeasure application.
• Use systematic crash analysis to
identify emphasis areas.
• Prioritize emphasis areas for
countermeasure development.
• Align emphasis areas with City goals &
objectives.
• Align emphasis areas with current City
areas of concern.

Goal 5: Proposed List of Conceptual Priority
Projects for Implementation of
Countermeasures.
• Identify conceptual priority projects for
implementation.
• Identify similar areas where
countermeasures can be
implemented.
• Prioritize these countermeasures for
implementation based on cost, effort,
and timeline.

3. PROCESS
The primary goal for the City of Brentwood and their safety partners is to provide safe, sustainable, and efficient mobility choices for their residents and visitors. Through the development and implementation of this LRSP, the City will continue its collaboration with safety partners to identify and discuss safety issues within the community.

Guidance on the LRSP process is provided at both the national (FHWA) and state (Caltrans) level, and both agencies have developed a general framework of data and recommendations for an LRSP.

The FHWA encourages:
 The establishment of a working group (Stakeholders) to participate in developing a LRSP  The review of crash, traffic, and roadway data to identify areas of concern  The establishment of goals, priorities, and countermeasures to recommend improvements at spot locations, systemically, and comprehensively
Caltrans guidance follows a similar outline with the following steps:

1. Establish leadership

2. Analyze the safety data

3. Determine emphasis areas

4. Identify strategies

5. Prioritize and incorporate strategies

6. Evaluate and update the LRSP
This LRSP documents the results of data and information obtained, including the vision, goals, and objectives for the LRSP; existing safety efforts; crash analyses; emphasis areas; the City’s existing countermeasure toolbox; and potential countermeasures for select priority locations. The development of the LRSP recommendations considers the Five Es of traffic safety defined by the California SHSP: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Response, and Emerging Technologies throughout its process.

3.1. Guiding Manuals
The following section describes the analysis process undertaken to evaluate safety within the City at a systemic level. Using a network screening process, locations within the City that will most likely benefit from safety enhancements were identified. Using historic crash data, crash risk factors for the entire network are derived. The outcomes will inform the identification and prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure safety countermeasures that address certain roadway characteristics and related behaviors that contribute to motor vehicle crashes as well as active transportation users.

This process uses the latest national and state best practices for statistical roadway analysis described in the following sections.

3.1.1. Local Roadway Safety: A Manual for California’s Local Road Owners The purpose of Local Roadway Safety: A Manual for California’s Local Road Owners (Version 1.7, April 2024) (LRSM) is to encourage local agencies to pursue a proactive approach to identifying and analyzing safety issues, while positioning themselves to be eligible for competitive federal, state,

City of Brentwood LRSP 15 May 2025
and local grant programs for project implementation funding opportunities. A proactive approach is defined as analyzing the safety of the entire roadway network through either a one-time, network wide analysis, or by routine analyses of the roadway network.

According to the LRSM, “The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) – Division of Local Assistance is responsible for administering California’s federal safety funding intended for local safety improvements.”
To provide the most benefit and to be competitive for grant funding, the analysis leading to countermeasure selection should focus on both intersections and roadway segments and be considerate of roadway characteristics and traffic volumes. The result should be a list of locations that are most likely to benefit from the implementation of cost-effective countermeasures, preferably prioritized by benefit/cost ratio. The LRSM suggests using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative measures to identify and rank locations that consider both crash frequency and crash rates. These findings should then be screened for patterns such as crash types and severity to aid in the determination of issues causing higher numbers of crashes and the potential countermeasures that could be most effective. Qualitative analysis should include field visits and a review of existing roadway characteristics and devices. The specific roadway context can then be used to assess what conditions may increase safety risk at the site and systematic level.

Countermeasure selection should be supported using Crash Modification Factors (CMFs). These factors are the peer reviewed product of before-and-after research that quantifies the expected rate of crash reduction that can be expected from a given countermeasure. If more than one countermeasure is under consideration, the LRSM provides guidance on how to apply CMFs appropriately.

3.1.2. Highway Safety Manual
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Highway Safety Manual (HSM), published in 2010, presents a variety of methods for quantitatively estimating crash frequency or severity at a variety of locations. This four-part manual is divided into Parts: A) Introduction, Human Factors, and Fundamentals, B) Roadway Safety Management Process, C) Predictive Method, and D) Crash Modification Factors.

Chapter 4 of Part B of the HSM discusses the network screening process. The network screening process is a tool for an agency to analyze their entire network as well as identify and rank locations that (based on the implementation of a countermeasure) are most to realize a reduction in the frequency of crashes.

The HSM identifies five steps in this process:

1. Establish Focus: Identify the purpose or intended outcome of the network screening process. This decision will influence data needs, the selection of performance measures and the screening method that can be applied.

2. Identify Network and Establish Reference Populations: Specify the types of sites or facilities being screened (i.e. segments, intersections, or geometrics) and identify groupings of similar sites or facilities.

3. Select Performance Measures: There are a variety of performance measures available to evaluate the potential to reduce crash frequency at a site. In this step, the performance measure is selected as a function of the screening focus and the data and analytical tools available.

City of Brentwood LRSP 16 May 2025

4. Select Screening Method: There are three screening methods described in this chapter:
ranking, sliding window, and peak searching. Each method has advantages and disadvantages; the most appropriate method for a given situation should be selected.

5. Screen and Evaluate Results: The final step in the process is to conduct the screening and analysis and evaluate the results.

The HSM provides several statistical methods for screening roadway networks to identify high risk locations based on overall crash histories.

3.2. Analysis Techniques
Intersections and roadways were analyzed using four crash metrics:
 Number of Crashes
 Equivalent Property Damage Only (HSM Ch. 4)
The initial steps of the crash analysis established sub-populations of roadway segments and intersections that have similar characteristics. For this LRSP, intersections were grouped by their control type (signalized and unsignalized) and segments by their roadway category (arterial, collector, minor collector, and local). Individual crash rates were calculated for each subpopulation. The sub-population level crash rates were then used to assess whether a specific location has more or fewer crashes than expected. These sub-populations were also used to determine typical crash patterns to help identify locations where unusual numbers of specific crash types are occurring.

The network screening process ranks intersections and roadway segments by the number of crashes that occurred at each one over the analysis period and then identifies areas that had more of a given type of crash than would be expected for that type of location. The crash type factors were:
 Crash severity - fatal, severe injury, other visible injury, complaint of pain, and property damage only (PDO)
 Crash type - broadside, rear-end, sideswipe, head-on, hit object, overturned, bicycle, pedestrian, and other
 Environmental factors – lighting and wet roads
 Driver behavior - impaired, aggressive, and distracted driving From the results of the network screening analyses, a short-list of locations was chosen based on crash activity, crash severity, crash patterns, location type, and area within the City to provide the greatest variety of locations covering the widest range of safety opportunities for countermeasure toolbox development. The intent is to populate the safety countermeasure toolbox with mitigation measures that will be applicable to most of the crash activity in the City.

The EPDO method is described in the Highway Safety Manual. This method assigns weighting factors to crashes based on injury level to develop a property damage only score. In this analysis, the injury crash costs were calculated for each location based on the latest Caltrans injury costs. This value is then divided by the injury cost for a property damage only crash. The resulting number is the equivalent number of property damage only crashes at each site. This value allows all locations to be compared based on injury crash costs. (HSM, Chapter 4).

The results of the network screening analysis for both intersections and roadway segments is presented in Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively.

4. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
As part of the LRSP development, project stakeholders were identified and included in the process to ensure the local perspective was kept at the forefront of this planning effort. A stakeholder group comprised of staff from various City and County departments as well as key community members was formed. A complete list is available in the acknowledgements on page iii.

These stakeholders were called together to offer insight on the safety issues present in the City’s transportation network. The stakeholder group met on April 22, 2025 to review the results of the network screening and crash data analysis, provide comments, and ask questions.

Top East Sub-Region Comments

1. “I feel like this intersection should have a light that once a cycle all cars stop and it lets all 4 crosswalks go at the same time. This would seriously cut down on who gets to go when. It so frustrating as a pedestrian but even more so as a driver.” 3 upvotes. [McClarren Rd and Griffith Ln]

2. “The cross walk to go to Brentwood Elementary school is extremely dangerous during drop off every single morning. Need a cross guard and cops. Everyone is always running stop signs and in a rush. Only a matter of time when someone is severely injured.” 3 upvotes. [Brentwood Elementary School]

3. “Trail is on both sides of Lone Tree, but with a stop light only down the way without good path access to the light and too little protection for bikes and pedestrians from such a busy road.” 2 upvotes. [Lone Tree Way and Trail Xing West of Anderson Ln]

4. “4-way crosswalk, only 2 ways protected by a crossing guard during school hours. Heavy traffic at all 4 corners. I have personally almost been hit while walking with my children on the unprotected side of the crosswalk and have witnessed children, walking on their own, almost being hit. The drivers are paying most of their attention to the crossing guard, so the unprotected crosswalks drivers rush through. I have also witnessed the crossing guard while stopping traffic, almost be hit by cars.” 2 upvotes. [McClarren Rd and Griffith Ln]

5. “4-way crossing for students walking/biking to school unsafe from all corners.” 2 upvotes. [McClarren Rd and Griffith Ln]

6. REVIEW OF PLANNING DOCUMENTS
Existing plans, policies, and projects that were recently completed, planned, or are on-going within the City were compiled at the start of the LRSP process in order to gain perspective on the existing efforts for transportation-related improvements within the City. High-level key points regarding transportation improvements and safety-related topics were identified to inform decision making in this LRSP. The following plans and documents were reviewed:
Capital Improvement Programs, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 City of Brentwood General Plan, 2014
 Parks, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan, 2002
 Parks, Trails, and Recreation Master Plan Update, 2019 City of Brentwood Emergency Operations Plan, 2013
Contra Costa Countywide Vision Zero Action Plan, 2022
Contra Costa Transportation Authority Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP): East County Action Plan, 2023
Contra Costa County Active Transportation Plan
The City of Brentwood seeks to improve roadway safety by implementing the Safe System Approach. The Safe System Approach, as defined in the Caltrans SHSP, is built upon the following principles1
:
• Death and serious injuries are unacceptable
• Humans make mistakes
• Humans are vulnerable
• Responsibility is shared
• Safety is proactive
• Redundancy is crucial
While engineering countermeasures are a critical part of preventing fatal and severe injury crashes, the City also recognizes that policy plays a key role in safety as well. The city performed a literature review of relevant policies and programs to identify other means by which the Safe System Approach and road safety could be further established.

Appendix C presents a summary of local programs, policies, and practices as well as considerations of how they can be improved or enhanced to further support and prioritize road safety.

7. DATA SOURCES
The following data was obtained from the City for use in crash data analysis.

7.1. Roadway Network
The crash analysis, which is described in detail in Section 3, requires each corridor within the City to be classified. The City’s roadway network obtained directly from the City was categorized using FHWA’s roadway classification system provided in the roadway network. The roadway network classification was assigned to each corridor roadway segment as either a major arterial, minor arterial, collector, or local road. This was done in order to compare the functional design and capacity to better stratify analysis results, only comparing roadway segment safety performance with similar peer roadways (i.e., only arterials are compared to arterials, etc.) within the City.

7.2. Intersections
The crash analysis also requires each intersection within the City to be classified by control type.

Intersections throughout the City were classified by control type as either signalized or unsignalized (including roundabouts). The safety analysis also only compares intersection safety performance with similar control types (i.e., signalized intersections are only compared to signalized intersections, etc.) within the City.

7.3. Crashes
Injury collision data for the most recent five-year period (January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2023) was used for the collision analysis. Using data from the past five-year period is sufficient to identify potential trends in crashes by location and types, while not being so long as to have data that would include long-term technology and cultural changes. The collision data was obtained from UC Berkeley’s SafeTrek Transportation Injury Mapping System. Collision records were allocated to intersection and the roadway network segments.

Knowing the impacts of the crash (the injuries or type of damage which occurred) is a key part of assessing the environment and safety factors around the site of the crash. The TIMS dataset used for this analysis categorizes crashes in the following categories:
• 1 – Fatality
 2 – Severe injury
 3 – Other Visible Injury
 4 – Complaint of Pain
Property damage only or “fender bender” crashes that did not result in any forms of injury are not included in this dataset. This LRSP includes crashes which occurred on the City’s roadway network (including intersections which border City limits). However, crashes along Highway 4 were not included as these belong to Caltrans right-of-way and are outside the jurisdiction of the City of Brentwood. It should be noted that though crashes along Highway 4 are not included in this study, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD) is a key stakeholder in the development of this LRSP and is responsible for responding to incidents along Highway 4. CCCFPD’s ability to respond to crashes on Highway 4 is dependent upon the City’s local roadway network and can be impacted by congestion or crashes on local roads.

8. SAFETY TRENDS
The following sections contain the results of the analysis process which included evaluation of Brentwood fatal and severe injury (KSI) crashes compared to statewide levels, among other evaluations including crashes by severity level, cause, pedestrian, and bicycle crashes.

8.1. Brentwood KSI Crashes Compared to Statewide KA Crashes The California SHSP focuses on 16 challenge areas identified by the SHSP Executive Leadership and Steering Committees after an in-depth analysis of California KSI crash data as well as an extensive statewide outreach process that involved hundreds of diverse traffic safety partners around the state. Collisions can be attributed to 13 of the 16 challenge areas. Table 1 presents a summary of City’s historic challenge areas (2013-2022) by comparing KSI crashes to the statewide KSI crashes.

The City of Brentwood was higher than the statewide average in the following eight areas: Aggressive Driving, Impaired Driving, Intersections, Lane Departure, Young Drivers (15-20), Aging Drivers (≥65), Distracted Driving, and Occupant Protection.

8.4. Annual Crashes
Figure 8 presents the number of annual crashes on roads in the City of Brentwood beginning in 2019.

The year with the most crashes was 2019, with a total of 150 crashes. Annual crashes trended downwards in the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, with 2020 having the least number of crashes. Annual crashes have generally trended upwards since 2020.

It is likely that the COVID-19 pandemic influenced crash trends in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, the number of daily household trips decreased due to widespread shelter-in-place orders; fewer vehicles on the road could be connected to fewer vehicle conflicts and thus fewer crashes. However, reduced roadway volumes and congestion could also be connected to increased vehicle speeds, a phenomenon that numerous law enforcement agencies have reported. As volumes returned to “prepandemic” levels in 2021, law enforcement agencies in California anecdotally noted that vehicle speeds remained high; it is theorized that this pandemic-era aggressive driving behavior has persisted and is partially contributing to the increase in annual crashes than can be seen since 2020.

The most common crash causes for KSI crashes include improper turning, unsafe speed and DUIs as show in Figure 11. Crash causes which accounted for more than one crash are presented in Figure 11. Improper turning is related to vehicles turning when or where it is unsafe to do so; these crashes mostly included hit-object crashes, bicycles, broadsides and sideswipes.

8.6. Crash Types
According to reported data, approximately 636 injury crashes occurred within the City during the fiveyear study period on city owned and maintained roadways. Figure 12 indicates that broadsides and rear ends were the most common crash type within the City, followed by hit-object crashes. A large proportion of rear ends occurred at signalized intersections, while broadsides occurred most commonly at unsignalized intersections. The most common crash type along roadway segments was rear ends.

8.7. Lane Departure Crashes
Caltrans defines crashes involving lane departure as those with crash types listed as ‘Head-On’, ‘HitObject’, or ‘Overturned’. This also includes instances where a vehicle runs off the road or crosses into the opposing lane prior to the crash. There were 145 lane departure crashes over the study period in the City, with an average of approximately 29 lane departure crashes per year. Of the 145 lane departure crashes, 4 were fatal, 19 were reported with severe injuries, 95 with other visible injuries, and 27 with complaints of pain.

8.8.2. Impaired Driving Crashes
Impaired driving crashes include all crashes where there was evidence of drug or alcohol use by the driver. Drivers do not need to exceed the legally defined threshold of intoxication to be counted, as Caltrans considers any level of alcohol consumption to have the potential to impact driver responsiveness and decision making. There were 41 impaired driving crashes between 2019-2023, three of which resulted in a fatality and seven of which resulted in severe injuries. Figure 16 depicts the impaired driving crashes within the City. The intersection segment Sand Creek Rd & Fairview Ave to Sandstone Dr was the one segment with a crash due to impaired driving. A list of the intersections in order of the highest to lowest number of crashes due to impaired driving is shown below:

9. DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIOECONOMIC ASSESSMENT
This LRSP includes a citywide demographic and socioeconomic analysis to better understand how different population groups in the City of Brentwood are impacted by road safety. The framework used to guide the analysis is followed by a summary of the methodology. The equity analysis considers demographics and collisions, followed by general takeaways related to the equity and safety data. The analysis seeks to inform policy and program recommendations for the City in accordance with state and federal equity goals, with the objective of promoting equitable infrastructure investments which will enhance road safety for all road users.

9.1. Framework
This section applies a socioeconomic and demographic approach to the safety analysis conducted for the LRSP to supplement the technical collision data analysis by identifying any correlations between equity and safety data, in accordance with federal and state guidelines. This ensures that vulnerable and disadvantaged populations can benefit from additional safety considerations.

Meeting the needs of equity populations is a critical step in equitable distribution of resources and outcomes. As such, the equity analysis aims to summarize key safety and equity findings.

9.1.1. Federal Policies
Equity analysis in transportation planning became solidified by two key federal policies: Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Executive Order (EO) 12898 in 1994. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. EO 12898 directs all federal agencies to develop an Environmental Justice Strategy that, “identifies and addresses the disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of its programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income populations.” Both policies mandate transportation agencies to identify, address, and serve disadvantaged communities through their work.

More recently in 2021, EO 14008 was signed establishing Justice40 with the goal that 40 percent of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution. Previously published Justice40 tract maps and tools, specifically the recently archived US DOT Equitable Transportation Community (ETC) Explorer, were utilized in the equity analysis to identify disadvantaged communities. Although the US DOT ETC Explorer has been recently archived, the dataset is critical in identifying historically disadvantaged communities.

9.1.2. State Policies
California SB 535 (2012) directs investments of cap-and-trade funds towards “Disadvantaged Communities” (DACs). The SB 535 DAC Map (2022) was established to identify DACs throughout the state of California.

The equity analysis conducted as part of the LRSP initiated with an analysis of the 2022 California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) SB 535 DAC Map, a 2022 Justice40 tract map, the US DOT ETC Explorer, and the CEJST to determine if any tracts within the city were considered disadvantaged. The equity analysis identified four disadvantaged communities outlined in the

City of Brentwood LRSP 44 May 2025
recently archived US DOT ETC Explorer. See Figure 20 for Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) Census Tracts in the City of Brentwood.

9.2. Methodology
Equity demographics were analyzed to better understand the population. The equity analysis builds on the crash data analysis from the LRSP and forms the basis for the equity policy and program recommendations provided.

Demographic data for the city’s population was collected from the United States Census American Community Survey (US ACS) 5-year estimates for 2023 for total population by race/ethnicity, age, and income to identify equity communities within the city. Age was included in the demographic data to capture the city’s young and aging populations.

9.2.1. Underserved Communities
Brentwood is located within an urbanized area with a population of approximately 64,2923 as of 2020. Figure 19 displays the 2020 population in the City of Brentwood broken down by age and sex.

Figure 19 — City of Brentwood 2020 Population by Age and Sex Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2020 DEC Demographic Profile for the City of Brentwood, Accessed April 2025 The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) has developed a list of SS4A Underserved Communities Census Tracts (historically disadvantaged communities). The disadvantaged census tracts identified in this list exceeded the 50th percentile (75th for resilience) across at least four of the following six transportation disadvantaged indicators.

1. Transportation Access disadvantage identifies communities and places that spend more, and longer, to get where they need to go (CDC Social Vulnerability Index, Census America Community Survey, EPA Smart Location Map, HUD Location Affordability Index).

2. Health disadvantage identifies communities based on variables associated with adverse health outcomes, disability, as well as environmental exposures (CDC Social Vulnerability Index).

3. Environmental disadvantage identifies communities with disproportionate pollution burden and inferior environmental quality (EPA EJ Screen).

4. Economic disadvantage identifies areas and populations with high poverty, low wealth, lack of local jobs, low homeownership, low educational attainment, and high inequality (CDC Social Vulnerability Index, Census America Community Survey, FEMA Resilience Analysis & Planning Tool).

5. Resilience disadvantage identifies communities vulnerable to hazards caused by climate change (FEMA National Risk Index).

6. Equity disadvantage identifies communities with a high percentile of persons (age 5+) who speak English "less than well" (CDC Social Vulnerability Index).

9.3. Demographic and Socioeconomic Assessment
The City of Brentwood is home to a diverse population. This section reports on the demographics data of road users in Brentwood as collected from the US Census Bureau and processed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Bay Area Vision Zero (BayVIZ) System. In terms of race and ethnicity, white people make up the largest population of crash victims by race/ethnicity in Brentwood at 48.8% and Hispanic or Latino origin account for 17.4% of crash victims. Persons of black heritage and other/unknown are overrepresented in fatal and severe injury crashes, accounting for 10.8% and 19.7% of fatal and severe injury crashes though they only account for 9% and 6.6% of the population, respectively. Figure 21 below provides a breakdown of populations by race and ethnicity and crash victims by race and ethnicity in Brentwood.

Figure 21 — Collision Victim Demographics by Race/Ethnicity in the City of Brentwood Source: Bay Area Vision Zero (BayVIZ) System, Fall 2023, Accessed April 2025 According to the 2023 American Community Survey, 29.2% of households in Brentwood speak a language other than English at home. Spanish is spoken in 13.0% of households; other IndoEuropean languages and Asian and Pacific Islander languages are spoken in 5.8% and 9.0% of households, respectively4

Figure 23 — Mode Share in Brentwood
Source: BayVIZ 2025 and U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year 2019-2023 The City aims to increase the mode share for these active modes of transportation by making the City’s roadway network safer through infrastructure improvements, education, and community engagement. The options available to the City to improve its roadway network identified in the LRSP countermeasure toolbox will benefit residents, students, and individuals who travel across the City to access destinations. Implementing safety improvements will serve to mitigate disparity by increasing the safety for residents that commute via active transportation.

Approximately 19.1% of the total severe and fatal crashes in the City from 2019-2023 occurred within the disadvantaged communities. Figure 24 presents severe and fatal crashes citywide and within disadvantaged communities. Pedestrian and bicycle collisions in the disadvantaged communities account for approximately 35.7% of all citywide pedestrian and bicycle collisions. Figure 25 presents pedestrian and bicycle collisions citywide and within the disadvantaged communities from 2019-2023. Approximately 29.4% of all citywide injury collisions were located within disadvantaged communities from 2019-2023. Figure 26 presents all citywide collisions by severity and identifies the disadvantaged communities. The disadvantaged community census tracts account for approximately 22.7% of the land area within the City (approximately 2,155 acres of land is designated as a disadvantaged community within approximately 9,510 acres of city area) yet disproportionately experience more overall collisions and more pedestrian and bicycle collisions than the rest of the city.

Crash data from TIMS ranging from 2019-2023 was reviewed to determine the parties at fault in vehicle-pedestrian/bicycle crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists and is presented in Figure

29. Approximately 82.8% of crashes involving vulnerable road users were due to driver violations.

The most common driver violations were improper turning (turning at a distance unnecessarily far from a curb, turning without using turn signals, or making a type of turn prohibited by signage) and pedestrian right of way violations (making a maneuver from a motor vehicle without respecting the right-of-way of a pedestrian) each account for approximately 17% of vulnerable user collisions.

Followed by traffic signals and signs (collision was caused by inadequate, inconsistent, and/or confusing signage) at 16% and automobile right of way (making a maneuver without respecting the right-of-way of another driver) at 14%. Six percent of crashes involving vulnerable road users were due to pedestrian violations, and 9% were not assigned fault. Pedestrian violations included the following: pedestrian failure to cross at crosswalks between adjacent traffic signal controlled intersections (1%), pedestrian failure to yield ROW when crossing outside of marked and unmarked crossings (4%), and pedestrian failure to follow “WALK” or “WAIT” or “DON’T WALK” signals (1%).

10. RECOMMENDATIONS
The following sections provide more information on potential engineering and non-infrastructure safety countermeasures that might address conditions that were observed to contribute to crash activity in the City.

10.1. Engineering Countermeasures
The following sections contain a description of Crash Modification Factors (CMFs) and Crash Reduction Factors (CRFs) associated with the engineering countermeasures toolbox.

10.1.1. Crash Modification Factors
When identifying potential systemic safety improvements, it is important to look at CMFs for the proposed improvements. The CMF Method is found in Part D of the HSM. CMFs are defined as the ratio of effectiveness of one condition in comparison to another condition and represent the relative change in crash frequency due to a change in one specific condition. Countermeasures with CMFs less than one are expected to reduce crashes if applied, while those countermeasures with CMFs greater than one are expected to increase crashes. Figure 30 illustrates the definition of CMFs.

Figure 30 — CMF Calculation
A Crash Reduction Factor (CRF) is similar to a CMF but stated in different terms. A CRF is defined as a percentage of crash reduction that might be expected after the implementation of a given countermeasure at a specific site. In application, the higher a CRF value is, the more effective the countermeasure is at preventing crashes. The countermeasures proposed in this LRSP were chosen because of their effectiveness in reducing crashes, especially those most commonly occurring in the City.

10.1.2. Engineering Countermeasures Toolbox
The systemic improvements identified as most likely effective to be for Brentwood are listed in Table 5, and include a wide range of countermeasures that can be implemented in phases where appropriate. Many of these proposed countermeasures have already been implemented in the City, including but not limited to pedestrian countdown signal heads, conversion of stop-controlled intersections to roundabouts, and installation of retro-reflective backplates on traffic signal heads.

The CMF indicates how effective the countermeasure is at reducing crashes. CMFs and CRFs have been provided for reference to aid the City of Brentwood in understanding potential reductions from crashes by different countermeasures. Caltrans funding levels for each countermeasure are also provided to aid the City in determining what the local match would likely be if the City were to pursue grant funding. Most countermeasures are eligible for Caltrans funding up to 90%, though some are lower.

Six project case study locations were selected for further analysis and recommendations. For each of these locations, recommended countermeasures were developed to provide a case study to organize projects when applying for funding. These locations were identified through the analysis process based on their crash histories, the observed crash patterns, and their differing characteristics to provide the most insight into potential systemic safety countermeasures that the City can employ to achieve the most cost-effective safety benefits. The countermeasures are listed in Table 7.

An additional set of low-cost countermeasures is also recommended for systemic implementation across the City. These improvements include installing retroreflective signage and traffic signal backplates, as well as a recommendation to follow the requirements of Assembly Bill (AB) 413 to restrict parking within 20 feet of crosswalks on the vehicle approach side with the goal of improving visibility for all road users (also known as daylighting)8 . AB 413 was signed into law on October 10,
2023, with ticketed enforcement being permitted following January 1, 2025. While daylighting may be conducted with low-cost treatments such as signage, painted curbs, or raised delineators, it is recommended that the City also conduct outreach to inform the public about this new law and its impact in removing parking spaces.

10.2. Non-Infrastructure Countermeasures
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Countermeasures that Work, Ninth Edition, is a reference to assist safety stakeholders in selecting effective, science-based noninfrastructure traffic safety countermeasures for major highway safety problem areas. While many of the countermeasures are more appropriate to apply at the state-level or require legislative modifications to implement, Table 8 contains countermeasures that have demonstrated effectiveness and could be applied at the City level. Note that while there are several other noninfrastructure countermeasures available, only those which have an effectiveness rating of four stars or higher are presented. Access to Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training for law enforcement is not included in the document but are countermeasures that could also be considered for the City.

11. EVALUATION AND IMPLEMENTATION

11.1. Evaluation
The success of the LRSP can be evaluated using the general process outlined below. This process can be useful to monitor progress towards implementation of safety improvement projects and strategies, and to determine when updates to the LRSP should be considered.  Law enforcement continues monitoring and recording of traffic incidents on local roadways.  Conduct frequent progress meetings (annually or quarterly) betweenCity staff and a working group (i.e. traffic safety committee) to review the latest crash data, including assessing the effectiveness of safety countermeasures implemented, discussing ongoing traffic safety challenges, and tracking progress on plan implementation.  Maintain a list of focus/priority areas where there are transportation safety concerns based on review of crash data. The list of priority and/or top crash locations can be updated as an outcome of review of updated crash data and trends.
 Perform an update to the plan after no more than five years. It is recommended that updates to the LRSP be approved by City Council and made available to the public in accordance with Caltrans’ Local Roadway Safety Plan guidance.

11.2. Implementation
Implementation of the LRSP can be accomplished through development and implementation of safety improvement projects and strategies, the establishment of new/updated policies and programs, and development/strengthening of relationships with stakeholders.

With regard to projects, the following section identifies potential focus areas for the City in the nearto-mid-term.

11.2.1. Near- and Mid-Term Focus Areas
The opportunities identified in this LRSP provide more of the systemic countermeasures that can be applied within the City. Over the next three to five years, it is recommended that the City concentrate its efforts on the following emphasis areas:

1. Aggressive Driving

2. Speeding

3. Vulnerable Road Users (Pedestrians & Bicyclists)

4. Intersections with Unconventional Geometries
Analysis conducted at the citywide level indicated that these factors were some of the most frequent influences contributing to crashes within the City. The countermeasure opportunities previously discussed in this report for both systemic and project-specific improvements can be used as a basis for developing projects at locations where addressing these focus areas would be of the most benefit. Projects that address these focused areas can be developed with a high benefit-to-cost ratio (by applying City-wide crash rates), allowing competitive projects to be developed even at sites with little to no direct crash history, but with conditions that might contribute to future crashes.

City of Brentwood LRSP 64 May 2025

11.3. Funding
Competitive funding resources are available to assist in the development and implementation of safety projects in Brentwood. The City should continue to seek available funding and grant opportunities from local, state, and federal resources to accelerate their ability to implement safety improvements throughout Brentwood. The following is a high-level introduction into some of the main funding programs and grants for which the City can apply.

11.3.1. Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
The HSIP is a Federal program housed under Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. This program apportions funding as a lump sum for each state, which is then divided among apportioned programs. These flexible funds can be used for projects to preserve or improve safety conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge projects on any public road, facilities for nonmotorized transportation, and other project types. Safety improvement projects eligible for this funding include:
 New or upgraded traffic signals
 Upgraded guard rails
 Pedestrian warning flashing beacons
 Marked crosswalks
California’s local HSIP focuses on infrastructure projects with national recognized crash reduction factors. Normally HSIP call-for-projects is made at an interval of one to two years. The applicant must be a city, a county, or a tribal government federally recognized within the State of California.

Additional information regarding this program at the Federal level can be found online at:
https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/hsip/. California specific HSIP information – including dates for upcoming call for projects - can be found at: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/hsip.html.

11.3.2. Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
The SS4A Grant Program is a federal program established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. A total of $5 billion are available from 2022-2026 in the form of planning grants and implementation grants. Grant applications for projects that implement the Safe Systems Approach, such as those related to speed management, improvements in underserved communities, and vulnerable road users, are encouraged. Implementation grant projects must be identified in an applicant’s qualifying Safety Action Plan. The SS4A Self-Certification Eligibility Worksheet describes the required elements of an Action Plan and can be accessed at: https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/2024- 02/SS4A-FY24-Self-Certification-Worksheet.pdf
Additional information about implementation grants can be found at:
https://www.transportation.gov/grants/ss4a/implementation-grants

11.3.3. Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP)
Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP) is a statewide funding program, created in 2013, consolidating several federal and state programs. The ATP funds projects that encourage increased mode share for walking and bicycling, improve mobility and safety for non-motorized users, enhance public health, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Projects eligible for this funding include:
 Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects

City of Brentwood LRSP 65 May 2025
 Bicycle and pedestrian planning projects (e.g. safe routes to school)  Non-infrastructure programs (education and enforcement) This program funding is provided annually. The ATP call for projects typically comes out in the spring.

Information on this program and cycles can be found online at:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/atp/

11.3.4. State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) provides state and federal gas tax money for improvements both on and off the state highway system. STIP programming occurs every two years.

The programming cycle begins with the release of a proposed fund estimate, followed by California Transportation Commission (CTC) adoption of the fund estimate. The fund estimate serves to identify the amount of new funds available for the programming of transportation projects. Once the fund estimate is adopted, Caltrans and the regional planning agencies prepare transportation improvement plans for submittal. Caltrans prepares the Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (ITIP) using Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) funds, and regional agencies prepare Regional Transportation Improvement Programs (RTIPs) using Regional Improvement Program (RIP) funds. The STIP is then adopted by the CTC.

11.3.5. California SB 1
SB 1 is a landmark transportation investment to rebuild California by fixing neighborhood streets, freeways, and bridges in communities across California and targeting funds toward transit and congested trade and commute corridor improvements.

California’s state-maintained transportation infrastructure will receive roughly half of SB 1 revenue:
$26 billion. The other half will go to local roads, transit agencies, and an expansion of the state’s growing network of pedestrian and cycle routes. Each year, this new funding will be used to tackle deferred maintenance needs both on the state highway system and the local road system, including:
 Bike and Pedestrian Projects: $100 million
o This will go to cities, counties and regional transportation agencies to build or convert more bike paths, crosswalks and sidewalks. It is a significant increase in funding for these projects through the ATP.
 Local Planning Grants: $25 million

11.3.6. California OTS Grants
This program has funding for projects related to traffic safety, including transportation safety education and encouragement activities. Grants applications must be supported by local crash data (such as the data analyzed in this LRSP) and must relate to the following priority program areas:
 Alcohol Impaired Driving
 Distracted Driving
 Drug-Impaired Emergency Medical Services
 Motorcycle Safety
 Occupant Protection
 Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety
 Police Traffic Services
 Public Relations, Advertising, and Marketing Program

City of Brentwood LRSP 66 May 2025
 Roadway Safety and Traffic Records

11.3.7. ABAG Regional Funding Programs
ABAG provides funding allocation for various multi-modal transportation projects in the Bay Area.

Projects that are considered for this regional funding program must be eligible for Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ), Rural Surface Transportation Program (RSTP), or STIP funds.

Performance outcomes which are considered for selection include those which:
 Reduce regional VMT per capita
 Reduce regional congest VMT per capita
 Increase multi-modal or alternative travel choices
 Provide long term benefits, sustaining both rural and urban economies  Improve movement of goods, in and through the region
 Improve safety and security
Maintain and improve upon the existing transportation system

City of Brentwood LRSP 67 May 2025

12. NEXT STEPS
The City has completed this LRSP to guide the process of future transportation safety improvements for years to come. In addition to the actions identified in the Implementation Plan, the City can perform the following to guide the success of this LRSP and its overall safety efforts. • Develop investment program to help achieve the City’s crash reduction goals. • Work with state and partner agencies on implementation of large-scale programs and policies.
• Incorporate safety analysis findings in future updates of safety programs. • Monitor statewide safety priorities, guidance, and funding opportunities.

RESOLUTION 21-40-G (Rev 2)
RE: ADOPTION OF THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTYWIDE TRANSPORTATION SAFETY POLICY

AND IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE (GUIDE) FOR LOCAL AGENCIES
WHEREAS, walking, rolling (e.g., micromobility devices such as electric scooters and neighborhood electric vehicles), and bicycling can benefit air quality by reducing traffic congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutants, and energy use from vehicles, and can provide a safe, convenient, healthy, active, and affordable alternative to the Single-Occupant Vehicle (SOV), serving as first and last multi-mile multimodal physically protected connections, that increase transit ridership, that should be more effectively encouraged locally and prioritized given that the majority of the average household’s total trips traveled are shorter distance; and
WHEREAS, on July 18, 2018, the Authority Board adopted Resolution 18-45-G and the Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (CBPP), including Appendices such as a List of Locally Sponsored Projects (Appendix D) which, as amended, will be publicly accessible via the agency website and considered as part of the Safe Streets and Roads for All (Fiscal Year 2025) Program’s Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (checklist certification) as it accompanies this Guide, along with Community-Based Transportation Plans (CBTPs), subregional Action Plans, and the Countywide Comprehensive Transportation Safety Action Plan (CCTSAP); and WHEREAS, human life and health are paramount and should take priority, e.g., when addressing objectives of the publicly accessible transportation system and prioritizing uses of the publicly accessible Right-of-Way (ROW); and
WHEREAS, the intent of the Guide, along with the CBPP, and this agency’s work, is to be consistent with the Core Elements of Vision Zero, speed management, and the Safe Systems Approach, including prioritizing human safety over speed (and over movement of vehicular volume / throughput) providing adequate (distracted driver) reaction time and visibility, and accommodating inevitable mistakes; and
WHEREAS, transportation systems, policies, and projects should be designed and implemented first to protect people, health and human life, and the collective greater good in maximizing public benefit in the public ROW, first through redundancies and shared responsibilities before private interests so that no traffic incident will result in a fatal or severe injury; and

Resolution 21-40-G (Rev 2)
December 18, 2024

WHEREAS, a multimodal hierarchical pyramid, in order from the widest point to the narrowest, should be prioritized by pedestrians, bicyclists, micromobility, middle modalism, transit, and vehicle occupants; and
WHEREAS, investments within the Safe Systems hierarchical pyramid should be focused in order from the widest point to the narrowest: the built environment, latent safety strategies, active safety strategies, and education; and
WHEREAS, the Countywide Vision Zero Working Group (VZWG) was convened in December 2019, February and October 2020, and May 2021 to steer development of the Guide, under the CBPP, and in November 2023 and December 2024 to steer development of the CCTSAP and CBPP project list prioritization; and
WHEREAS, actions to make Contra Costa County’s streets, pathways, and trails safer for all user types, particularly those who are most physically vulnerable, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, people using personal mobility devices, seniors, youth, and people with disabilities, will further encourage people of all ages and abilities to walk, bicycle, roll, and ride transit; and WHEREAS, the key goals identified in the CBPP include: 1) increasing safety and security for pedestrians and bicyclists; 2) create a safe, connected, and comfortable network of bikeways and walkways for all ages and abilities; 3) equitably serve all of Contra Costa County communities while ensuring that public investments are focused on projects with the greatest benefits; and 4) expand safe, convenient, and affordable alternatives to SOVs; and WHEREAS, the key objectives indicated in the CBPP are as follows: 1) reduce the rate of pedestrian and bicyclist fatal and severe injuries; 2) increase the number of miles of low-stress bikeways in Contra Costa County; and 3) integrate Complete Streets principles and best practices into Authority funding and design guidance; and WHEREAS, the priorities indicated in the CBPP (Table 7-1) include the following: emphasis on selecting projects of countywide significance; taking into account project alternatives and cost effectiveness in achieving project objectives; weighing network expansion versus existing network completion or maintenance; gap closures and improved connectivity (to, from, and between residential, parks and recreational destinations or routes, outdoor open spaces, transit, shopping, schools, and employment locations); range and number of users (all ages and abilities, transit riders); increased transit ridership; latent demand; local community and policy support; deliverability, readiness, and feasibility; and leveraging matching fund sources; and WHEREAS, the Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee prioritizes building out long-distance travel routes with a focus on establishing and maintaining a safer, contiguous

Resolution 21-40-G (Rev 2)
December 18, 2024

countywide Low-Traffic-Stress Network (mainly Class I and Class IV bicycle facilities) per the CBPP; and
WHEREAS, the first implementation action in the CBPP was to develop a countywide Vision Zero and a systematic safety approach for Contra Costa County to a countywide Vision Zero Policy, and systematic pedestrian and bicyclist safety analyses, using a data-informed and systemic assessment of the common patterns of fatal and severe traffic injuries in Contra Costa County. In addition, the Authority would support its partners in identifying efficient and costeffective engineering and non-engineering strategies, including implementing proven countermeasures to assist jurisdictions to more efficiently address the public health crisis; and WHEREAS, the countywide Vision Zero and Safety Policy Statement in Resolution No. 4400, adopted by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) on June 12, 2020, is to work together with partner agencies, with a goal to move toward Vision Zero, to encourage and support equitable and data-informed actions toward eliminating fatal and serious (severe, lifealtering, and traumatic) traffic injuries for the Bay Area region, by which the adoption and use of the Guide is anticipated to make Contra Costa County jurisdictions more competitive when competing for federal, State, and regional funding; and WHEREAS, the Guide for local agencies provides a consistent countywide framework, with a hybrid reactive and increasingly proactive Safe Systems Approach to address safety, exposure, and risk management; and
WHEREAS, the nine-county regional MTC, cities of San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Fremont, Alameda, and counties of Sonoma and Contra Costa (unincorporated communities) are among the first 52 jurisdictions in the United States working toward Vision Zero; and WHEREAS, the California Department of Transportation Strategic Highway Safety Plan, which guides safety funding and strategy for the state of California, is in support of Vision Zero and the Safe Systems Approach that includes a system-wide method of project development for transportation infrastructure such as intersections, sidewalks, bike lanes, and trail crossings where common characteristics that cause fatal or severe injury collisions exist at multiple locations.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Authority Board hereby:
1) Adopts the CBPP, subregional Action Plans, CBTPs, CCTSAP, and Guide collectively as a Vision Zero Comprehensive Safety Action Plan.
2) Affirms its commitment to urgently implement travel independence and peoplePage 110 of 590 Resolution 21-40-G (Rev 2)
December 18, 2024

centered policies and the core elements of Vision Zero and the data-informed Safe Systems Approach (which, among other preventive strategies, focuses on other locations that have similar characteristics of street or public ROW infrastructure, or driver behavior, when/as compared to higher collision rate locations) as a priority, eliminating preventable fatal and severe injuries, and adopts a target date of December 31, 2034, after first achieving a 50 percent reduction no later than December 31, 2029.
3) Formalizes the existing Ad-Hoc multi-disciplinary VZWG as the advisor to Vision Zero planning and implementation, plan monitoring, priorities, and communications.

New Total Not-to-Exceed Purchase Order Amount $ 160,000 $ 97,000

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.4
06/10/2025
The Fleet Maintenance Services Fund receives annual contributions from various City funds in order to ensure sufficient resources are available. Annual funding in the Operating Budget is provided by the Enterprise Funds (78%), General Fund (16%), and Other Funds (5%).

The Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund receives annual contributions from various City funds in order to ensure sufficient resources are available when replacement is needed. Annual funding in the Operating Budget is provided by the Enterprise Funds (57%), General Fund (38%), and Other Funds (5%).

BACKGROUND
As part of the budget adoption, City staff includes budgeted amounts for the maintenance and repair of city vehicles and equipment. The Council/Administrative Policy No. 10-7 (‘Purchasing Policy’) requires that purchases of goods or services over $50,000 per vendor, per fiscal year must be approved by the City Council. Public Works currently has purchase orders with PowerGen Inc. for $120,000 for emergency back-up generator maintenance and repair services, and with Municipal Maintenance Equipment for $67,000 for parts, maintenance and repair services for the City’s Street Sweepers and Sewer cleaning trucks.

The Fleet Maintenance Division maintains the City’s vehicle and equipment fleet, which includes the City’s nineteen emergency back-up generators. PowerGen Inc. was the lowest responsible bidder for emergency back-up generator maintenance and repair services and are utilized as needed. Municipal Maintenance Equipment is the authorized Northern California Dealer for the City’s Schwarze Street Sweepers and Vaccon Sewer cleaning trucks.

As the City continues to grow, the City’s fleet size and maintenance requirements increase, as well. There have been several unanticipated major repairs that were contracted out to PowerGen Inc. and Municipal Maintenance Equipment since July 2024, including but not limited to a control panel replacement, a transfer switch replacement, capacitor replacement, and installation of safety equipment and monitoring devices.

Due to the increased need and cost of repairs, services and parts, staff is requesting an increase to purchase orders with these vendors (including approval of an amendment with PowerGen Inc., and agreement or other necessary documents with Municipal Maintenance Equipment, as required) in order to have sufficient funds for the remainder of this fiscal year.

15. Glossary of Terms

15.1 Glossary: Except as otherwise provided in this policy, whenever the words defined or described in the Glossary attached to this policy are used in this policy, they shall have the same meaning attributed to them in the Glossary. However if there is a conflict between a definition contained in the Glossary and a definition of those same words in Sections 53600 et. seq. of the Government Code, the definition in the Government Code shall govern.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
ACCRUED INTEREST: Interest that is due on a bond or other fixed income security since the last interest payment was made. This often occurs for bonds purchased on the secondary market, since bonds usually pay interest every six months, but the interest is accrued by the bondholders on a day-to-day basis. When a bond is sold, the buyer pays the seller the market price plus the accrued interest, for which the buyer will be reimbursed when the issuer next pays interest.

Accrued interest is calculated on a 30-day month/360-day year for corporate bonds and municipal bonds, and on actual-calendar-days for Government bonds. Income bonds and bonds in default trade without accrued interest. When calculating accrued interest on a bond that is being sold, it is conventional to consider the time period from the most recent payment up to, but not including, the date on which the bond sale is settled.

AGENCIES: Federal agency securities and/or Government-sponsored enterprises.

ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES: Bonds created from various types of consumer debt. Returns on these securities come from customer payments on their outstanding loans. The primary types of asset-backed securities are mortgages, home equity loans, auto loans, leases, credit card receivables and student loans.

BANKERS’ ACCEPTANCE: A draft or bill or exchange accepted by a bank or trust company.

The accepting institution guarantees payment of the bill, as well as the insurer.

BOND: A certificate of debt that is issued by a government or corporation in order to raise money with a promise to pay a specified sum of money at a fixed time in the future and carrying interest at a fixed rate. Generally, a bond is a promise to repay the principal along with interest (coupons) on a specified date (maturity). The main types of bonds are corporate bond, municipal bond, treasury bond, treasury note, treasury bill, and zero-coupon bond. It is a tradable debt instrument that might be sold at, above or below par (the amount paid out at maturity), and are rated by bond rating services such as Standard & Poor's S&P Global and Moody's Investors Service, to specify likelihood of default. The Federal government, states, cities, corporations, and many other types of institutions sell bonds. It is relatively more secured than equity and has priority over shareholders if the company becomes insolvent and its assets are distributed.

COLLATERAL: Assets pledged by a borrower to secure a loan or other credit, and subject to seizure in the event of default.

COMMERCIAL PAPER: An unsecured obligation issued by a corporation or bank to finance its short-term credit needs, such as accounts receivable and inventory. Maturities typically range from 2 to 270 days. Commercial paper is available in a wide range of denominations, can be either discounted or interest-bearing, and usually have a limited or nonexistent secondary market. Commercial paper is usually issued by companies with high credit ratings, meaning that the investment is almost always relatively low risk.

CUSTODIAN: An agent, bank, trust company, or other organization which holds and safeguards an individual's, mutual funds, or investment company's assets for them.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY: Management responsibility for the investment program.

DEPOSITORY INSTITUTION: A central repository through which members electronically transfer stock and bond certificates (a clearinghouse facility).

between bid and asked prices is narrow and sales of reasonable size can be done at those quotes.

MARKET VALUE: The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be purchased or sold.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES: Securities that can be easily converted into cash. Such securities will generally have highly liquid markets allowing the security to be sold at a reasonable price very quickly.

MATURITY: The date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes due and payable.

MOODY’S: One of the most prominent credit rating agencies in the U.S.

MUTUAL FUNDS: An open-ended fund operated by an investment company which raises money from shareholders and invests in a group of assets, in accordance with a stated set of objectives. Mutual funds raise money by selling shares of the fund to the public, much like any other type of company can sell stock in itself to the public. Mutual funds then take the money they receive from the sale of their shares (along with any money made from previous investments) and use it to purchase various investment vehicles, such as stocks, bonds and money market instruments. In return for the money they give to the fund when purchasing shares, shareholders receive an equity position in the fund and, in effect, in each of its underlying securities. For most mutual funds, shareholders are free to sell their shares at any time, although the price of a share in a mutual fund will fluctuate daily.

NEGOTIABLE CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT: A CD with a very large denomination, usually $1 million or more. These are usually bought by institutional investors who are interested in low-risk investments. Negotiable certificates of deposit are usually in bearer form, and have secondary markets that are highly liquid.

NRSRO: Nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

PAR VALUE: The nominal dollar amount assigned to a security by the issuer. For an equity security, par value is usually a very small amount that bears no relationship to its market price, except for preferred stock, in which case par value is used to calculate dividend payments. For a debt security, par value is the amount repaid to the investor when the bond matures (usually, corporate bonds have a par value of $1,000, municipal bonds $5,000, and federal bonds $10,000). In the secondary market, a bond's price fluctuates with interest rates. If interest rates are higher than the coupon rate on a bond, the bond will be sold below par value (at a "discount").

If interest rates have fallen, the bond will be sold above par value.

PASS THROUGH SECURITY: A security representing pooled debt obligations that passes income from debtors to its shareholders. The most common type is the mortgage-backed certificate.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.7
06/10/2025
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution Adopting the 2024 Contra Costa County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan – City of Brentwood Annex
DEPARTMENT: Police Department
STAFF: Timothy Herbert, Chief of Police
Michael Thompson, Police Lieutenant

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the proposed resolution adopting the 2024 Contra Costa County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan – City of Brentwood Annex.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to adopt the City of Brentwood’s Annex of the 2024 Contra Costa County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.

BACKGROUND
In 2024, staff worked with Contra Costa County and other local jurisdictions to update the 2018 Contra Costa County Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) in accordance with 44 CFR 201.6 (a)(4), which allows for local governments to work together to create a multi-jurisdictional plan, which serves as a guide for the county to become more resilient to the impacts of natural, human-caused, and technological hazard.

Local hazard mitigation plans form the foundation of a community's long-term strategy to reduce disaster losses and break the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repetitive damage. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supports local mitigation planning to achieve the fostering of partnerships amongst all levels of government, develop and strengthen non-government and private partnerships, promote more disaster-resilient communities, and reduce the costs associated with disaster response and recovery by promoting mitigation activities.

FEMA makes funding available for planning through the Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs, including but not limited to: the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP); HMGP-Post Fire; the Building Resilient Infrastructure and

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.7
06/10/2025
Communities (BRIC) Program; the Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) Program; and Safeguarding Tomorrow Revolving Loan Fund. Approved mitigation plans are a requirement for local governments, including special districts, to be eligible for the projects funded under the HMA and other FEMA programs, including the Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dams (HHPD). Additionally, Public Assistance funding is available to implement mitigation measures for damaged eligible facilities to protect against future damages, so long as the recipient has an approved state mitigation plan. Mitigation plans must be reviewed and updated every five years and formally adopted by each participating jurisdiction’s governing body as part of receiving approval. Although an approved local mitigation plan is one of the conditions for applying for and receiving FEMA mitigation grants, having an approved mitigation plan does not mean that mitigation grant funding will be awarded.

The County Base Plan was approved by FEMA and the California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) on September 23, 2024. As noted by the County:

Given the number of participants, the plan is divided into two volumes.

Volume I is the county plan; it includes the overall analysis of the hazards, a county profile, the countywide mitigation action items, and sets the foundation for participating jurisdiction annexes. Volume II is comprised of the annexes for each participating city and special district.

City of Brentwood stakeholders and the public were given a number of opportunities to be involved throughout the planning process for Brentwood’s portion of Volume II.

Opportunities were provided via a public survey, in-person and virtual public meetings, and public engagement activities to review the Plan draft (i.e., public comment period). The public meetings allowed the County to introduce the Plan update, identify additional hazards of concern that should be included, if any, and to provide input for the various mitigation measures intended to eliminate or reduce the negative impact to those hazards. Language translation assistance in Spanish was available in all public meetings. The public survey asked community representatives and members of the public to rate each of the hazards in terms of perceived risk.

Furthermore, they were asked to rate “mitigation importance” for each of the identified hazards in the Plan. The information gathered from this survey was used to inform the hazard risk prioritization process, and to ensure the Plan adequately addressed the public’s concerns and priorities. The survey was available in English, Spanish, Tagalog, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. A total of 60 respondents that lived in the City and 22 that worked in the City participated in the survey.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. F.7
06/10/2025
The attached City of Brentwood Annex provides details and supporting documentation of the City’s extensive public outreach efforts to invite the review of and feedback on the City of Brentwood Annex.

Post-adoption, the LHMP requires annual progress tracking with the steering committee and plan participants, which might result in changes. Furthermore, changes in staff and local leadership may also change the mitigation strategy and priorities. Every five years, the mitigation plan needs to be reviewed and updated due to changes in population, demographics, infrastructure, and hazards.

The attached City of Brentwood Annex identifies mitigation goals and actions to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property in the City of Brentwood from the impacts of future hazards and disasters. Adopting this plan demonstrates commitment to the hazard mitigation goals and actions outlined in the Annex.

3.1.1. Underserved Population
The 2023 California State Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) as the most appropriate and authoritative dataset to identify areas where efforts can be prioritized to ensure equitable outcomes from mitigation planning and actions.

CDC’s SVI combines 16 social factors, within four (4) themes (i.e., socioeconomic status, household characteristics, racial and ethnic minority status, and housing type and transportation), to identify areas of social vulnerability. Table 3 outlines the SVI information for the City of Brentwood.

Note: ArcGIS mapping analysis was performed utilizing Census Tract data by overlaying Census Tracts with the City of Brentwood planning area boundary. The information outlined in this section includes data from the Census Tracts that intersect the jurisdiction.

City of Brentwood Annex 3

3.2. Brief History
Brentwood began as a farming community in the late 1800s and it is known throughout the Bay Area for its agricultural products, primarily its cherries, corn, and peaches. Brentwood was originally laid out on land donated from property owned by John Marsh, an East Contra Costa County pioneer. The City is named after Marsh’s ancestral home, the town of Brentwood in the County of Essex, England. Many of the old farms have been replaced by suburban developments since 1990. Despite the decrease in farmland, the City of Brentwood remains a popular location for Bay area residents to visit to pick their own fruits and berries.

3.3. Governing Body Format
The City of Brentwood has a Mayor-Council system of governance. Primary power lies with the five (5) council members. The Mayor presides over Council meetings and has the power to appoint and ceremonial duties. Official city business is administered by the Office of the City Manager. The City Council assumes responsibility for the adoption of this Plan, and the Police Department oversees its implementation.

4. DEVELOPMENT TRENDS
California Law requires counties and cities to prepare and adopt a General Pan, a comprehensive longrange plan to guide community development. The General Plan must contain seven (7) state-mandated elements – land use, housing, circulation, safety, open space, conservation, and noise – and may contain additional elements as a jurisdiction sees fit. Additionally, the General Plan must comprise an integrated and internally consistent set of goals, policies, and implementation measures. The City of Brentwood adopted its General Plan under this law and has updated it several times over the years, including most recently in July 2014.

Brentwood was a typical small, bedroom/farming community until the mid-1990s, when the City experienced tremendous growth through the mid-2000s. During this time, the population of the City had more than tripled. For the first few years after that expansionary period, the City saw significantly reduced growth, including a decline in property valuations. Over the last several years, growth has been back to a moderate level and property valuations have increased.

Although the City continues to emphasize growth in the commercial, industrial, and retail sectors, office and industrial development also slowed as a result of the recession. While this has returned to a degree, it is expected that the pace of new permits for office, industrial, and retail construction will continue to be fairly sluggish during the next several years as market absorption of existing and vacant space will need to take place before significant amounts of new construction is feasible.

Table 4 summarizes development trends in the performance period since development of the previous hazard mitigation plan and expected future development trends.

The City of Brentwood does not have a database tracking the number of development permits issued in specific hazard areas. At the time an applicant proposes development in a specific location, if applicable, staff assesses hazard risk specific to individual projects.

For example, areas with steep slopes/potential landslide hazards require a hillside development permit and soils/geotechnical report.

4.1. Changes in Priority
The overall hazard mitigation priorities have not significantly changed for the City of Brentwood since the last Plan update. However, mitigation actions from the previous Plan were updated, and a more concerted effort on achieving equitable outcomes for all communities, including underserved communities and socially vulnerable populations, has been implemented.

5. CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT
Federal regulations require hazard mitigation plans to identify goals for reducing long-term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards in the planning area (Section 201.6(c)(3)(i)). A critical step in the development of specific hazard mitigation actions and projects is assessing existing authorities, policies, programs, and resources and capabilities to use or modify local tools to reduce losses and vulnerability from profiled hazards.

A capability assessment was conducted for the City of Brentwood and participating jurisdictions’ authorities, policies, programs, and resources. Goals and mitigation actions were developed using input from this assessment. Information regarding the City’s implementation of and continued participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) can be found in Section 8 of this Annex.

City of Brentwood Annex 5
The Local Planning Team assessed the City’s capabilities that can contribute to the reduction of longterm vulnerabilities to hazards. The capabilities include the following categories:
• Planning and Regulatory Capabilities
• Administrative and Technical Capabilities
• Financial Capabilities
• Education and Outreach Capabilities
Additionally, ways to expand on and improve these existing policies and programs to integrate hazard mitigation into the day-to-day activities and programs of the City were considered.

5.1. Planning and Regulatory Capabilities
These include local ordinances, policies, and laws to manage growth and development (e.g., land use plans, capital improvement plans, transportation plans, emergency preparedness and response plans, building codes, and zoning ordinances). The City of Brentwood will adopt the approved 2024 Contra Costa County Hazard Mitigation Plan into the City’s General Plan Safety Element for AB 2140 compliance. Table 5 contains a list of legal and regulatory capabilities. The description section of each Planning and Regulatory Capability includes a paragraph on expansion, implementation, and improvement.

Table 5. Planning and Regulatory Capabilities
City Code, Title 15: Building and Construction
Includes: Building Code, Electrical Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, Housing Code, House Moving, Grading, Community Preservation, Fire Code, Floodplain Management City Building Regulations (incorporates by reference and is based upon the 2022 California Building Code, 2022 California Residential Code, 2022 California Green Building Standards Code, and 2022 California Existing Building Code [all codified in California Code of Regulations, Title 24]); adopted November 17, 2022.

Title 15 also addresses floodplain management including participation in NFIP as the basis for establishing the special flood hazard areas (SFHA). It also designates and lists the duties and responsibilities of the Floodplain Manager.

Expansion, Implementation, and Improvement: The Building and Fire codes will be reviewed based on developing trends in identified hazards and mitigation measures that can make them more effective at preventing losses. They will be updated to comply with the latest International and State building codes.

As FEMA develops new guidance for the NFIP, it will be incorporated into the City Code, as appropriate, and integrated as updates to this Hazard Mitigation Plan.

Emergency Operations Plan
The City’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) describes what the local jurisdiction’s actions will be during a response to an emergency; includes annexes that describe in more detail the actions required of the local jurisdiction’s departments/ agencies. Additionally, the EOP describes the role of the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) and the coordination between the EOC and the local/tribal jurisdictions. Lastly, it describes how the EOC serves as the point of coordination between local, tribal, State, and Federal agencies during a disaster. This Hazard Mitigation Plan provides the basis for the hazards included and described in the EOP.

Expansion, Implementation, and Improvement: This Hazard Mitigation Plan will be used as an essential tool to update the City EOP. California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) requires that EOPs describe applicable hazards as part of the Plan. The latest Hazard Mitigation Plan hazards descriptions will be included.

Mitigation actions that are preparedness and response in nature will be analyzed for applicability for inclusion in the description of EOP processes and procedures.

County Climate Action Plan
The Contra Costa County Climate Action Plan (CAP), adopted in December 2015, is the County’s strategic approach to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from sources throughout the unincorporated area. The CAP reflects the County’s programs and actions to decrease energy use, improve energy efficiency, develop renewable energy, reduce vehicle miles traveled, increase multi-modal travel options, expand green infrastructure, reduce waste, and improve the efficiency of government operations. The City is in the process of developing its own CAP.

Expansion, Implementation, and Improvement: The CAP will be updated in parallel with the General Plan.

While the General Plan will provide the long term resiliency framework of goals and policies, the CAP will provide strategic implementation programs to show how the County will reduce GHG emissions in support of the State’s adopted reduction targets for 2030 and 2050, reducing GHG emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, with consideration of the State’s long term goal to reduce GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.

Alameda and Contra Costa County Regional Wildfire Prevention Plan The Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (CCRCD) and the Alameda City Resource Conservation District (ACRCD) worked jointly with funding from the Coastal Conservancy to develop a Regional Priority Plan (RPP) for Contra Costa and Alameda Counties. The goal of the RPP process was to identify regional natural resource concerns that could be exacerbated by catastrophic wildfire and develop projects or other methods to remedy those issues ahead of the next wildfire event. The planning process started in November 2020 and completed in September 2022.

Expansion, Implementation, and Improvement: This Hazard Mitigation Plan and Regional Wildfire Prevention Plan should be aligned where mitigation actions in this Hazard Mitigation Plan support the goals of the Regional Wildfire Prevention Plan. The wildfire analysis in this Hazard Mitigation Plan can inform updates and revisions to the Wildfire Prevention Plan.
