The

Item #3

Staff Report re Grand Jury Response – Bike Safety Page 2 of 6

As bicycle riding has become an ever more meaningful form of transportation, especially with the popularization of eBikes, the demand by County residents for safe micro-mobility solutions has soared. Are San Mateo County and its municipalities positioned to respond to safety concerns and meet those demands?

The Town’s response follows each finding and recommendation where the Grand Jury requested a response. The nine findings and seven recommendations with accompanying staff responses are as follows:

FINDINGS

Finding 1: Bicycle policy and the approach to ensuring/improving bicycle safety is not consistent across San Mateo County due, at least in part, to:
a. Topography
b. Urban vs. suburban environments
c. Types of bicyclists (commuter, recreational)
d. Varying levels of enforcement of bicycle laws
e. Differing knowledge of bicycle laws and safe practices

Response: The Town of Colma agrees with this finding.

Finding 2: Bicycle ridership as an alternative means of transportation (e.g., commuting to work, school, or transit hubs, running errands) is not increasing due, at least in part, to perceived safety issues.

Response: The Town of Colma agrees with this finding. Based on public outreach surveys conducted for the Colma Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan, there are a few discouraging factors that may contribute to the low pedestrian and bicyclist rates in Colma. These factors include hazardous conditions, such as insufficient lighting and debris; aggressive driver behavior; no designated bike lanes; and travel time/distance to get to the destination.

Finding 3: Bicycle accidents and incidents (such as near misses) are underreported, if reported at all.

Response: The Town of Colma agrees with this finding. According to the 2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury Report, “…Law enforcement agencies in the County submit their bicycle accident data to Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) based on incidents that result in fatality or injury. However, there are bicycle accidents resulting in injury which do not make it into SWITRS because law enforcement is not called. Some examples are bicyclists being forced off the road by motor vehicles, collisions near misses and, of course, bicyclist error. Consequently, the actual number of bicycle accidents is underreported and, more importantly, the list of accident locations is not complete. Cyclists that have an incident that does not involve either the police or the fire department do not have a consistent means to log their experience. That data goes unreported. And this goes both ways; there is no means for a motorist to complain about bicycle riders’ unsafe behavior...”

Staff Report re Grand Jury Response – Bike Safety Page 3 of 6

Colma conducted a Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) in 2018 to analyze the crash history from 2011 through 2016 on local roadways to determine the cause and how to take appropriate measures in improving road safety. Colma also reviewed recent crash data provided by the Colma Police Department.

Finding 4: Only bicycle accidents or incidents that trigger a 911 call are consistently logged in the State (SWITRS) database and law enforcement agencies do not log bicycle accident data consistently.

Response: The Town of Colma partially disagrees with the portion of the finding "Only bicycle accidents or incidents that trigger a 911 call." There are other means of making a report other than 911. 911 is one way of contacting law enforcement, however walking into police stations or contacting through the non-emergency line after an incident are often used.

Information is entered into SWITRS when a report is taken. Not all accidents involving vehicles or bicycles are documented in a report.

Finding 5: The amount of enforcement of laws, as they pertain to bicyclists and how motorists and bicyclists interact, is inconsistent due to other priorities (e.g., criminal enforcement and general automobile traffic) and the requirement that a citation can generally only be written if the violation is witnessed by an officer.

Response: The Town of Colma agrees with this finding.

Finding 6: There is no official metric in San Mateo County and its cities to evaluate how safe it is to ride a bicycle.

Response: The Town of Colma agrees with this finding.

Finding 7: Bicycle safety education, for the bicyclist, pedestrians and motorists, is not consistently offered across San Mateo County.

Response: The Town of Colma partially disagrees with the finding. The Town of Colma disagrees that education is not consistently offered across San Mateo County. The education received to obtain a California Driver’s License covers many aspects for bicyclist, pedestrian, and motorist safety. Colma staff will continue to coordinate with the Silicon Valley Bike Coalition and Colma Police Dept. to promote programs to educate drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians about their rights and responsibilities, as well as traffic education and safety programs for adults and youth.”

Finding 8: Communication between various entities with responsibility for bicycle safety, including Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committees (BPACs), Law Enforcement, City Transportation Planning, and Public Works departments, is not formalized, resulting in inefficiencies, and missed opportunities (e.g., funding for improvements, shared bike safety education, or improving signage).

Response: The Town of Colma partially disagrees with the finding. The Town of Colma believes that many of these aspects and entities come together during the upgrading of roadways, although not formalized. Colma staff will continue to coordinate to promote bike

Staff Report re Grand Jury Response – Bike Safety Page 4 of 6

safety, including seeking grant funding for future improvement projects with other Departments and agencies, and forming multidisciplinary project development teams.

Finding 9: City Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans or Active Transportation Plans, have not been adopted/created by all SMC cities.

Response: The Town of Colma partially disagrees with this finding. The Town of Colma recently adopted its first Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan on August 23, 2023. The Town of Colma is unaware if all SMC cities have adopted or created City Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans or Active Transportation Plans.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Recommendation 1: By December 2023, all law enforcement agencies and the County Sheriff should submit bicycle related data to SWITRS monthly, and regularly post and update their websites with all reported bicycle accident data.

Response: The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted. The Town of Colma believes the entry of data into a State of California database should be entered in accordance with state law.

Recommendation 2: By December 2023, all law enforcement agencies should begin sending warning letters to motorists for violations of the 3 ft. law.

Response: The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or reasonable. The Town of Colma believes warning letters may be used as a safety tool, however it should be utilized at the discretion of law enforcement. The Town of Colma will continue to promote programs that educate drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians about their rights and responsibilities, as well as traffic education and safety programs for adults and youth.”

Recommendation 3: By June 3, 2024, all law enforcement agencies should provide a means for citizens to report bicycle-related incidents that are not currently reported to law enforcement, similar to the SMC Sheriff’s Department Online Crime Reporting portal.

Response: The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or reasonable. The Town of Colma believes there are numerous ways already in place to report bicycle-related incidents. Not all agencies want to lose personal connection with their residents by moving to online reporting.

Recommendation 4: By June 3, 2024 each city, town, and unincorporated SMC should offer a bike safety education program for riders and motorists about the laws and safety facts related to bicycles on the road.

Response: The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or reasonable. Colma staff will continue to coordinate with the Silicon Valley Bike Coalition and Colma Police Dep to promote programs to educate drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians about their rights and responsibilities, as well as traffic education and safety programs for adults and youth.”

Staff Report re Grand Jury Response – Bike Safety Page 5 of 6

Recommendation 5: By June 3, 2024, each city, town, and unincorporated SMC should update or generate a new Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (or Active Transportation Plan) if their current plan is older than five years; consistent with the 2021 C/CAG San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.

Response: The recommendation has been implemented. The Town of Colma recently adopted its first Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan on August 23, 2023. The Master Plan is consistent with the 2021 C/CAG San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and other recently adopted local plan and policies to increase bicycle safety in and around the Town.

Recommendation 6. By June 3, 2024, each city, town, and the county should apply (or reapply) online to generate the Bicycle Friendly Community Report Card.

Response: The recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented in the future. The Town of Colma will apply for a Bicycle Friendly Community Report Card via the League of American Bicyclists (LAB) prior to June 3, 2024.

Recommendation 7. By February 1, 2024, the County should meet with cities within the County that are willing to participate, to consider establishing a regional effort that integrates the cities’ bicycle plans and to discuss how the cities and County could work together to apply for grant opportunities as a region.

Response: The recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented in the future. The Town of Colma is looking forward to continuing to coordinate with C/CAG and all applicable regional and local partners to implement the Colma’s recently adopted Colma Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and seek funding by applying for grant funding opportunities as a region (Countywide).

City Council Adopted Values

The discussion of Bicycle Safety is consistent with the Council values of responsibility because it gathers information and considers actions to collaborate with the County and other San Mateo County cities for making bicycling safer in the County, and vision because it looks to the future when making decisions.

Sustainability Impact

Advance the active transportation efforts of the Town and regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction.

“Biking is one of the few activities that checks all the boxes at once — it’s active, practical, social, sustainable, stress-relieving, fun, and is a great family activity. Biking has the unique ability to elevate the mundane — it turns errands into adventures.

“I often drive up Alpine Road near the Stanford golf course and I believe I would have a head-on crash with oncoming cars if I left a 3-foot margin between my car and the thoughtless bikers who ride out partially in the road. What is the best advice for that situation?” Comment on Bicyclists Can Now Report 3’ Rule Violations Online in The Almanac 5/12/2023.

“On the afternoon of Monday, April 10, bicyclist Lester Legarda was fatally struck by a driver on Cañada Road, a rural route popular among walkers, equestrians, and bicyclists. Details of the crash scene suggest that the collision speed was high. One solution to prevent future tragedies along Cañada is tantalizingly simple — reduce the 50-mph speed limit. Sure, drivers will likely continue to exceed the speed limit. But just like the paint on the road that defines where drivers are supposed to drive, posted speed limits set expectations for acceptable driver behavior.” Reduce the speed limit on Canada Road San Mateo Daily Journal 04/20/23.

Bike Safety in San Mateo County: Making Bicycling Safer in the County

ISSUE
As bicycle riding has become an ever more meaningful form of transportation, especially with the popularization of eBikes, the demand by County residents for safe micro-mobility solutions has soared. Are San Mateo County and its municipalities positioned to respond to safety concerns and meet those demands?

SUMMARY
Whether for commuting or recreational purposes, residents in every jurisdiction of San Mateo County (SMC), as well as from the surrounding Bay Area counties, use bicycles. Because bicycles are widely available, for some the only mode of getting to and from work and jobs, and ridden in every jurisdiction, bicycle safety has become an increasingly important issue for SMC and its cities and towns. Without greater focus on bike safety, the number of riders will remain low, because people will avoid bicycling when they don’t feel safe. The benefits of increasing bicycle riding are important to all residents of San Mateo County: reducing motor vehicles, healthy lifestyle and an inexpensive form of transportation. Accordingly, San Mateo County, and its cities and towns have a responsibility to make it safe for drivers and pedestrians, as well as bicyclists.

Due to differences in terrain, population density, and existing infrastructure, the 20 different municipalities and the unincorporated portions of the County have differing bicycle safety needs and requirements. Some cities are very hilly, making commuting to work, school, or transit stations nearly impossible. Others are more urban and accommodate many more commuting bicyclists. The County also has some areas that are primarily recreational biking destinations and areas that accommodate both commuting bicyclists and recreational bicyclists. As a result, each community also assigns a different level of importance to bicycle safety relative to other issues, such as crime, motor vehicle safety and public works improvement projects. And education and enforcement about bicycle laws varies from one jurisdiction to another.

Despite the differences among the jurisdictions, there are several commonalities. One is that cities and law enforcement do not consistently maintain records about bicycle near misses, accidents, or complaints; data is neither broadly available nor consistently maintained. Another commonality is that government entities focused on bicycling and/or improving bicycle safety do not communicate and collaborate with each other often enough, if at all. This makes it difficult to get accurate information on the number and severity of incidents and gauge how safe it is to bicycle in San Mateo County. Without data, and communication among the municipalities, San Mateo County and its cities and towns lose out on available state and local funding to improve bicycle safety through physical improvement projects.

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 3

To improve bicycle safety and thereby increase ridership, San Mateo County and its cities and towns need to:

1. Create effective ways to educate bicycle riders and motorists about bicycle rules of the road to enhance predictability.

2. Develop consistent communications among government organizations responsible for bike safety (e.g., between law enforcement and public works).

3. Conduct enforcement details in each jurisdiction to ensure enforcement leads to education.

4. Collect accurate data about accidents and incidents that is crucial to supporting and justifying grant applications and funding from State and local agencies for physical improvements to infrastructure for bicyclists (e.g., connectivity of bicycle routes from one city to another), needed signage, and other engineering improvements.

BACKGROUND
Why is bike safety an important topic?
Statistically, the safer a person feels riding a bike, the more likely they will use it as regular transportation; both as a commuter and a recreational user.

Fifty-three percent of Americans worry about being hit by a motor vehicle when riding a bicycle; 47% say they would be more likely to ride a bike if pathways were physically separated from motor vehicles.1
However, bicycle accident statistics, though better than in 1998, averaged 231 fatalities and injuries over the last ten years. The average was 203 fatalities the last three years, but the drop includes the pandemic shutdown and more people working from home. The source of the recent data is the California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS2) database, managed by the California Highway Patrol. All law enforcement agencies are required to submit accident data to the database on a regular basis.

A 2002-2003 SMC Civil Grand Jury titled, Bike Safety in San Mateo County3, questioned whether San Mateo County and the cities adequately consider and support safe bicycle travel? At that time, it was estimated that 46% of Americans bicycle for pleasure and 300,000 County residents bicycle at least occasionally. Commuting by bicycle was less than 1% in the County.

That year’s Grand Jury found that bicycle infrastructure for safe travel needed improvement, but funding was an issue. It also found that communication and planning between the county and the cities on bicycle projects and safety could be improved. And that throughout SMC, bicycle safety was not a high priority. The primary recommendation of the report was the county, and all cities should develop a long-term strategic bicycle and safety plan.

A few things have changed since then.

Over the years, the focus of cities and the county on improving bike and pedestrian forms of transportation has increased:
● Bicycle maps and routes are now generally available online. ● The City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) updated their San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan in 20114 and 20215. ● California enacted Assembly Bill 1358, California Complete Streets Act of 20086, requiring all cities and counties to include complete streets policies as part of any substantial revision to the circulation element of their general plans; and cities and the County have adopted these complete streets policies, noting these policies in their Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans, or Active Transportation Plans. ● SMC and most of its municipalities have created and consistently upgraded their Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans.
● Unincorporated San Mateo County has created an Active Transportation Plan7 (Active Transportation is a term often used to cover walking, bicycling, and other motorized devices as a primary mode of transportation).
● C/CAG, Unincorporated SMC and some cities have created Bike and Pedestrian Advisory Committees to address active transportation improvements, safety issues, and other citizen related requests.

Meanwhile, the number of bicyclists in San Mateo County has not increased since 2002, according to the California Household Travel Survey, which is regularly used for data on the number of bicyclists in a community, but is restricted to commuting.

The 2002 and 2012 surveys showed only 1% of SMC’s population rides bicycles as a form of transportation. Looking at the various municipalities’ Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans, and the surveys and counts discussed in the plans, bicycle commute ridership still hovers at approximately 1% within SMC.

It is important to note that the number of people in SMC using bicycles in lieu of a car has not increased in 20 years. This is in contrast to the estimated number of recreational bicyclists (46%) in SMC, who also use streets and bicycle paths and expect a safe ride8.

However, even with roadway and signage improvements over the past 20 years, there is much San Mateo cities and the county can do to improve bicycle safety.

DISCUSSION
The merits of bicycle riding may seem self-evident, but a wide range of research reveals often surprising benefits to local economies, personal health, the environment, traffic congestion, and pedestrian safety that are unique to bicycle friendly communities.

Health Benefits
Bicycle riding contributes to both physical and mental health. Regular exercise such as cycling can help prevent heart issues9 such as stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure, and may also help prevent and manage type 2 diabetes.10 Riding a bicycle is good for cognitive health and emotional well-being and can ease feelings of stress, depression, or anxiety.11

All in all, bicycling for only 30 minutes a day reduces a person’s chances of diabetes, dementia, depression, colon cancer, cardiovascular disease, anxiety and high blood pressure by 40 percent or more.12

The World Health Organization has found that “If every adult EU citizen walked or cycled for 15 extra minutes per day, we’d have 100,000 fewer people dying prematurely, each year.”13 Environmental Benefits
Among the most obvious benefits of cycling is its benign effects on the environment. A solo driver in an average car releases about 1.1 pounds of CO2 per mile.14 A standard compact to midsize car that travels 12,000 miles will emit 11,000 pounds of CO2.15 The average car produces about 1.3 billion cubic yards of polluted air over the course of its lifespan plus worn tire particles, brake wear, and the emissions from other materials in the car also contribute to air pollution.16 Recent research in Europe found that traveling by bicycle instead of by car once a day decreases your transportation carbon footprint by 67%.17

Traffic
As active transportation choices like walking and bicycling gain attention and popularity, researchers are beginning to investigate the role these travel modes can play in reducing traffic congestion.18 Studies show that measures taken to promote bicycling and walking have a positive effect on congestion.

Research in Washington, DC identified a causal effect of the presence of a bike-share station on traffic congestion. The result is a 2-to-3% reduction in traffic congestion that can be attributed to the bike-share station within the sample.19
Economic Benefits
Among the more surprising findings is the positive economic impact from an increase in bicycle usage but studies show that the bicycle-related economy creates jobs, economic activity, and cost savings.20
Bicycle trails and facilities have a positive, statistically significant impact on home values; a 2006 study in Minneapolis found that the median home values rose $510 for every quarter mile they were located closer to an off-street bikeway.21
Indianapolis’ Cultural Trail, an 8-mile network of separated bike and pedestrian lanes, has reinvigorated a number of struggling business districts and sparked a whopping $1 billion in increased property values.22
And in an era when streets and sidewalks across the county are in various states of disrepair, bicycle projects can significantly reduce the cost of maintaining and expanding our transportation systems.23 Even protected bicycle lanes are “dirt cheap to build compared to road projects,” says Gabe Klein, a partner at Fontinalis, a venture capitalist firm founded by Ford Motor Co. Chairman Bill Ford. Cities everywhere need to be more efficient about the money they spend to move people. "We need to get more use from the streets we already have.” Research indicates that investments in cycling infrastructure generate more jobs per dollar spent than investments in road-only infrastructure; cycling projects create a total of 11.4 local jobs for each $1 million spent while road-only projects create 9.6 jobs per $1 million.24

Bicycle friendly communities are important to millennial job seekers and functional bicycle infrastructures help companies attract talent. “States and cities are competing for the most mobile generation ever and so the job creators and the innovators are really pushing for these amenities.”25
Safety
The most comprehensive study of bicycle and road safety to date finds that building safe facilities for cyclists is one of the biggest factors in road safety for everyone. Bicycling infrastructure -- specifically, separated and protected bike lanes -- leads to fewer fatalities and better road-safety outcomes for all road users.26
Davis, CA was the first city to gain “platinum” status by the League of American Bicyclists and is often referred to as the “bicycle capital of America.” From 1996 to 2007, Davis only had nine fatal road crashes. Despite having the largest percentage of bike commuters in the United States, none of these accidents involved a bicyclist. With a fatal crash rate of less than 1.5 per 100,000 residents, far fewer people are killed on Davis’ roads than in the U.S. as a whole, which averaged

14.5 fatalities per 100,000 residents.

Portland, OR, another platinum bicycling city, saw a nearly 50% decrease in road fatalities as it increased its bicycle mode share from 1.2% in 1990 to 5.8% in 2000. Bike friendly communities are safer for all road users, no matter what type of transportation is being used.

Social Benefits
Finally, bicycle riding as an alternative to car travel is associated with a number of social benefits, including increased social interaction, social networks, and social capital.27 A bicycle rider has a completely different relationship with their environment than those who are cocooned in their cars.

When communities invest in bicycle infrastructure, everyone benefits. Overall, bicycle commuters are healthier and bicycle-friendly streets are safer for everyone on the road. Bicycle friendly communities reap economic benefits including more retail activity and increased home values. The evidence is clear: bicycling brings big benefits to communities who embrace it.

Status Today
Twenty years after the first San Mateo Grand Jury report, significant gaps remain in jurisdictions’ approach to bicycle safety:

● San Mateo County and its municipalities’ characteristics make it difficult to create a consistent approach to bicycle safety.
● The use of bicycle safety education as a tool to increase safety for bicyclists and motorists is underutilized Countywide.
● Communication and coordinated planning across city lines is the exception, rather than the norm. Reporting of bicycle-related incidents is inconsistent throughout the county. ● Enforcement of bicycle laws, for motorists and bicyclists, is inconsistent and not prioritized.

Bicycle Safety in San Mateo County Cities
Each city and town in San Mateo County is unique and has a different relationship with bicycle use and safety. These variations include:
● Topography
● Objectives and priorities re bicycles and ridership ● Safety Perception
● Infrastructure
● Impact of eBikes
● Role of enforcement in bicycle safety.

For example:

Woodside and Portola Valley: Woodside and Portola Valley are hill communities with narrow roads. Woodside has a very active Circulation Committee which keeps a close eye on large bicycling events in the community and Portola Valley is focused on managing bicyclists on the weekend. But in both cases, the communities concentrate on ensuring quality of life for residents. They both see mostly recreational bicyclists.

Woodside has invested as much as $1 million to ensure a “safe route to school” for the children. However, the communities don’t make a strong effort to track riders or accidents. In both communities the Sheriff’s Office, which is their policing arm, enforces rules at some problem locations, but not regularly.

Hillsborough: Hillsborough is a relatively insular community by nature of its location and topography. It has no commercial districts and is, to a large degree, rather hilly. The view on bicyclists is very much a neighborhood view: meaning the expectation is that if there are problems with bicyclists they are brought up by members of the neighborhoods.

The primary focus on any kind of organized bicycling safety activity is efforts to teach children bicycle safety and safe routes to school at the beginning of the school year.

Belmont: Until quite recently, the City has been completely focused on ensuring that the community is comfortable for single family dwellings. However, areas close to El Camino Real are more commercial and have denser housing. The community now has both recreational and commuting bicyclists using the roads. While Belmont does have a bicycle master plan and holds an annual bike safety program for children and teenagers,

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 9

more needs to be done. The City needs to obtain funding from external Federal, State and County sources to do more.

Half Moon Bay: Possibly more than any other community in San Mateo County, Half Moon Bay has a sophisticated, complex relationship with bicyclists. On the one hand, Half Moon Bay attracts many visitors -- both vacationers and visitors from other Bay Area communities; and on the other hand, it has a robust population of residents who use their bicycles to get to work, school, and stores. Moreover, while Half Moon Bay has many surface streets, it is dominated by Highways 1 and 92 which have many challenging safety issues. As a result, the community has a bicycle master plan that focuses on bicycle safety and traffic planning. Despite this very proactive approach, the City deals with sometimes devastating safety issues. However, it appears that concern for bicycle safety is shared by many of the participants in the community.

San Mateo: The City of San Mateo updated its bicycle master plan in 2020. As a result, the City has focused on a variety of contemporaneous issues. These include working to develop a roadway network which could accommodate both bicycles and other types of active transportation. The City believes that it still skews toward recreational bicycling but is finding that more people want to use bicycles as a way of getting around. The master plan covers some education issues such as safe routes to school and safe bicycling for seniors. The plan does not talk about safety per se but addresses it from the vantage point of education. Though the City is focused on these matters it still recognizes that there's more education to be done about the rules of the road for bicyclists.

Unincorporated San Mateo County: Large areas of San Mateo County are small towns, private land, and open space, bisected, primarily, by two lane roads and highways. To address bicycle safety in these areas, the county created the Unincorporated San Mateo County Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee. Though there is no explicit Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, they do contribute to the SMC Active Transportation plan. The Committee makes recommendations regarding bicycle and pedestrian related grants, but expressed frustration with money not being shared equitably. Additionally, the Committee inputs bicyclist’s feedback. They are concerned with the number of incidents between motorists and bicyclists that are not addressed by law enforcement. The Committee has been working with the County Sheriff to address the problem.

These are just a few examples of San Mateo County and its municipalities' approach to bicycle safety. But because the communities are so diverse, thinking about bicycle safety needs to be broad-minded.

Bicycle Safety Education in SMC: Not just for cyclists
Since bicycle safety is crucial to encouraging bicycle usage, it follows that bicycle safety education is an essential component of the bicycle safety equation.

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 10

According to the US Department of Transportation: “Educating people about safe bicycling and walking, enforcing laws that make it easier and safer for people to bicycle and walk, and encouraging people to bicycle and walk, may help increase walking and bicycling activity, especially when combined with infrastructure improvements.”28 Moreover, as noted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Bicycle Safety web page, “A large percentage of crashes can be avoided if motorists and cyclists follow the rules of the road and watch out for each other.”29

In San Mateo County, much of the focus on bicycle safety and bicycle safety education is focused on ensuring safe routes to schools for children. Several communities, as detailed below, have much more comprehensive approaches to bicycle safety education in their Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans. Here are some examples:
● Burlingame (Excerpt from the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) Policy 11: Educate people walking, bicycling, and driving, and the general public about roadway safety and the benefits of bicycling and walking.

11.1: Support the continuation and expansion of bicycle safety education programs such as those taught by Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition and the San Mateo County Office of Education.

Policy 12: Encourage Burlingame public schools to participate in the Safe Routes to School program organized by the San Mateo County Office of Education.

● Brisbane’s Master Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan examples:

“Policy 4.A.5: Provide support for programs that educate drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians about their rights and responsibilities, as well as traffic education and safety programs for adults and youth.”

“Programs support bicycling and walking by providing encouragement to those considering bicycling and walking, education for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians about safe and appropriate sharing of streets and roads, and enforcement of traffic laws that help ensure the safety of vulnerable road users.”

● County Sheriff:

The San Mateo County Sheriff’s office publishes a pamphlet, Bicycle Safety30, on the California Vehicle Code sections related to bicycle safety. One City, Woodside, references this document, which could be used by all cities, schools and police

departments to improve bicycle safety education. However, the document is not available on the SMC Sheriff website.
● City of San Mateo:

San Mateo has some support for bicycle use and safety on its City website. The pages are listed in the table below.

Moving to Excellent Bike Safety Education in all SMC Cities

Overall, the approach to bicycle safety education in SMC communities is inconsistent. Several of the master plans recognize that bicycle safety education is about teaching motorists and cyclists of all ages about the guidelines for bicycle safety. Other communities either don’t focus much on education or are focused exclusively on “Safe Routes to School”.

Nonetheless, there are a handful of programs identified in the table below that creatively address bicycle safety, which San Mateo County and its municipalities should consider adopting.

Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plans and Advisory Committees: Planning Across the County The 2002 SMC Grand Jury Report recommended that all municipalities create Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans. As a best practice, the municipalities were encouraged to form Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committees.

To date, almost all San Mateo County jurisdictions or cities have Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans, or Active Transportation Plans. Most, if not all of these plans, align with recommendations from the 2011 C/CAG’s San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The 2021 update of C/CAG’s plan enhances and adds to the 2011 C/CAG San Mateo County plan, but most of the cities and towns have not updated their plans to be consistent with the 2021 plan. (See Appendix D for a complete list of San Mateo County’s Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plans.)
The cities’ bicycle and pedestrian master plans help each city by identifying strategies to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety. The plans recommend improvements for roadway connectivity for bicyclists and pedestrians, within each city as well as with neighboring cities.

Numerous plans reference the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition and the League of American Bicyclists (LAB) as organizations that have certified instructors for bicycle safety education. At least several of the plans also discuss the LAB Bicycle Friendly Community Report Card to which five SMC cities and San Mateo County belong. The plans list potential State and Federal funding for projects that improve safety and roadway connectivity and make clear the importance of annually evaluating and tracking progress against objectives.

However, in SMC, County committees and municipalities do not always work together to generate consistent plans that meet C/CAG’s goal for a Countywide bicycle backbone. Though C/CAG does have an advisory committee which includes representatives from municipalities, it does not have control over what individual municipalities decide to do regarding grant applications, infrastructure projects for better bicycle and pedestrian safety and education initiatives. If the municipalities endeavored to work together to prioritize projects and programs that are consistent with C/CAG’s priorities, it would benefit all of San Mateo County, especially with respect to providing north-south connectivity between municipalities.

Metrics: If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it.

One important measure of bicycle safety is arriving safely at a destination. This is usually reflected in the negative; that is, the number of fatalities and injuries during a calendar year versus the number of successful bicycle trips.

In San Mateo County, the cities and county rely heavily on data supplied to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to state the number of fatalities and injuries. The CHP then maintains a database, SWITRS (California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System), which is accessible

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 14

to the public. And, UC Berkeley maintains a website, TIMS31 (Transportation Injury Mapping System), which can further refine the raw data from SWITRS.

However, relying on this data to evaluate Bicycle Safety is problematic.

Law enforcement agencies in the County submit their bicycle accident data to SWITRS based on incidents that result in fatality or injury. However, there are bicycle accidents resulting in injury which don’t make it into SWITRS because law enforcement is not called. Some examples are bicyclists being forced off the road by motor vehicles, collision near misses and, of course, bicyclist error. Consequently, the actual number of bicycle accidents is underreported and, more importantly, the list of accident locations is not complete. Cyclists that have an incident that does not involve either the police or the fire department do not have a consistent means to log their experience. That data goes unreported. And this goes both ways; there is no means for a motorist to complain about bicycle riders’ unsafe behavior.

Countywide there is no uniform metric to measure Bicycle Safety. Without such a measure, it’s impossible to assess progress while building infrastructure, enforcing laws, and educating everyone in safety principles.

An obvious metric is bicycle accidents as recorded by SWTRS and online reports, but there is another metric which evaluates the complex equation that results in safe bicycling: Bicycle Friendly America Certification32.

The League of American Cyclists is a national organization dedicated to creating “safer roads, stronger communities and a Bicycle Friendly America for everyone.” This is a grassroots organization dedicated since 1880 to protecting the right to safe and enjoyable bicycling. A valuable achievement of this organization is establishing the Bicycle Friendly America (BFA) certification for cities and counties. This consists of a very detailed application33 that a city or county official fills out to get a comprehensive rating of bicycle safety. BFA defines bicycle safety using 5 E’s:
● Equity and Accessibility: A bicycle-friendly America for everyone ● Engineering: Creating safe and creative places to ride and park ● Education: Giving people of all ages and abilities the skills and confidence to ride ● Encouragement: Creating a strong bike culture that welcomes and celebrates bicycling ● Evaluation and Planning: Planning for bicycling as a safe and viable transportation option [Note that Enforcement, a common element in the 5 E’s of safety, is not included in the BFA definition.]

32 https://bikeleague.org/bfa/
33 https://bicyclefriendly.secure-platform.com/a/organizations/main/home

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 15

The application covers the BFA 5 E’s and investigates what it calls the 10 building blocks of a Bicycle Friendly Community (BFC). Finally, the rating includes steps to reaching the next level of excellence. Oakland in 2022, for example, received a GOLD rating Report Card34 having been BRONZE in 2010 and SILVER in 2014. The following cities and SMC have received the following ratings:
● Menlo Park35: GOLD: 2017
● Redwood City36: BRONZE: 2016
● San Carlos37: BRONZE: 2016
● San Mateo38: BRONZE: 2016
● South San Francisco39: BRONZE: 2018
● San Mateo County40: BRONZE: 2016
The BFC Report Card is a valuable metric that all cities and the County should make use of. If SMC cities develop the information necessary to answer objective and comprehensive questions about bicycle safety, each jurisdiction would have a consistent metric that can be used to measure bicycle safety progress across the County.

Law Enforcement and Bicycle Safety
Laws regarding the operation of bicycles are in the California Vehicle Code (CVC), but in general, bicycles are governed by the same rules of the road as motor vehicles.

SMC law enforcement organizations are concerned that there is currently no way for them to track bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicle accidents, from near misses to actual contact, that did not require police involvement. And, even if an incident or infraction is reported, an officer may or may not go out to speak with the complainant.

Other than the initial report, there is no single repository in SMC to store and retrieve information regarding bicycle-related citations or enforcement of bicycle law so it can be used in the future.

And perhaps most importantly, the enforcement of laws, regarding motorists and bicyclists, is inconsistent due to competing priorities and the requirement that a citation requires an incident be witnessed by an officer.

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 16

Conflicting Priorities
Law enforcement prioritizes assets based on the needs of the community, as well as their operating budget, when it comes to providing services. While public and political prioritization of bicycle safety issues may come up from time to time, calls for service are always prioritized.

This results in minimal officer resources dedicated to bicycle safety.

Police forces will:
● Focus resources or staff on bicycle safety, if there is an uptick in accidents at a particular location, citizen requests/calls, or requests from a jurisdiction’s public works or traffic departments to focus on certain locations; or
● Provide teams to schools and special events for bicycle safety education ● Much less often, assign their police officers to bicycle safety duty exclusively (some police departments do have officers that patrol on bicycles).

In addition, law enforcement agencies do not always enforce eBike laws, but this is mostly due to the popularity of eBikes being ahead of law enforcement policies.

Because of these conflicting priorities, and limited staff, enforcement of bicycle laws pertaining to motorists as well as bicyclists appears to be underreported.

Policing Bicycles and eBikes
Law enforcement departments in the county are very aware of the importance of bicycle safety.

Common sense says people generally want the streets to be safe for motor vehicles which translates to most officer resources going to motor vehicle enforcement.

It’s possible that safer bicycle riding could lead to fewer cars and free up police resources for more pressing issues.

The New 3’ Law for Motorists and Bicycles
In January 2023, California amended the California Vehicle Code (CVC). The new law (AB. 1909) requires all motorists to give a bicyclist three feet of clearance when passing on the left- hand side of the bicyclist or (depending on the width of the road) reduce speed appropriately, when passing. (See CVC: 21750 (b) (c) (d)). This is particularly crucial on narrow two-lane roads where there are many reports of bicyclists being forced off the road or hit by motor vehicles.

Hampering the situation is the requirement that a citation can only be written if the incident is witnessed by the officer. With the advent of helmet-worn cameras, cyclists have attempted to record these incidents with the hope that the recording can be used as “visual evidence”. But this evidence, post incident, cannot be used to issue a citation.

The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department recently announced it will allow the public to submit these incidents on the Sheriff’s website.41 These reports have since resulted in the

41https://www.almanacnews.com/news/2023/05/12/bicyclists-can-now-report-3-foot-rule-violations-online-in-san- mateo-county

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 17

department sending a violation letter to the offending motorist; this is not a citation. However, only incidents that occur in unincorporated San Mateo County, Woodside, Portola Valley, San Carlos, Half Moon Bay, and Millbrae can use this online resource.

Citations vs. Reprimands for Education Purposes:

It is at the officer’s discretion, when addressing a law infraction, to issue a citation or give a reprimand. One advantage of a reprimand is that it creates an opportunity to educate. With officers focusing on education, these brief encounters, cumulatively, can do a lot to improve bicycle safety, for bicyclists and motorists. But only if these reprimand stops are recorded officially can an accurate picture of bicycle safety be established.

FINDINGS
F1. Bicycle policy and the approach to ensuring/improving bicycle safety is not consistent across San Mateo County due, at least in part, to:
a. Topography
b. Urban vs. suburban environments
c. Types of bicyclists (commuter, recreational)
d. Varying levels of enforcement of bicycle laws
e. Differing knowledge of bicycle laws and safe practices.

F2. Bicycle ridership as an alternative means of transportation (e.g., commuting to work, school, or transit hubs, running errands) is not increasing due, at least in part, to perceived safety issues.

F3. Bicycle accidents and incidents (such as near misses) are underreported, if reported at all.

F4. Only bicycle accidents or incidents that trigger a 911 call are consistently logged in the State (SWITRS) database and law enforcement agencies do not log bicycle accident data consistently.

F5. The amount of enforcement of laws, as they pertain to bicyclists and how motorists and bicyclists interact, is inconsistent due to other priorities (e.g., criminal enforcement and general automobile traffic) and the requirement that a citation can generally only be written if the violation is witnessed by an officer.

F6. There is no official metric in San Mateo County and its cities to evaluate how safe it is to ride a bicycle.

F7. Bicycle safety education, for the bicyclist, pedestrians and motorists, is not consistently offered across San Mateo County.

F8. Communication between various entities with responsibility for bicycle safety, including Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committees (BPACs), Law Enforcement, City Transportation Planning, and Public Works departments, is not formalized, resulting in inefficiencies, and missed opportunities (e.g., funding for improvements, shared bike safety education, or improving signage).

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 18

F9. City Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans or Active Transportation Plans, have not been adopted/created by all SMC cities.

RECOMMENDATIONS
R1. By December 2023, all law enforcement agencies and the County Sheriff should submit bicycle related data to SWITRS monthly, and regularly post and update their websites with all reported bicycle accident data.

R2. By December 2023, all law enforcement agencies should begin sending warning letters to motorists for violations of the 3 ft. law.

R3. By June 3, 2024, all law enforcement agencies should provide a means for citizens to report bicycle-related incidents that are not currently reported to law enforcement, similar to the SMC Sheriff’s Department Online Crime Reporting portal.

R4. By June 3, 2024 each city, town, and unincorporated SMC should offer a bike safety education program for riders and motorists about the laws and safety facts related to bicycles on the road.

R5. By June 3, 2024, each city, town, and unincorporated SMC should update or generate a new Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (or Active Transportation Plan) if their current plan is older than five years; consistent with the 2021 C/CAG San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.

R6. By June 3, 2024, each city, town, and the county should apply (or reapply) online to generate the Bicycle Friendly Community Report Card.

R7. By February 1, 2024, the County should meet with cities within the County that are willing to participate, to consider establishing a regional effort that integrates the cities’ bicycle plans and to discuss how the cities and County could work together to apply for grant opportunities as a region.

METHODOLOGY
The Grand Jury used a variety of tools to obtain information regarding bicycle riding and safety in San Mateo County:
● Documents: The Bike and Pedestrian Master Plans that cities use to explain approaches to planning, prioritizing projects, and re-engineering their communities to make riding and walking easier and safer. These documents came with a variety of titles:
o Bike and Pedestrian Master Plans
o Active Transportation Plans
o Micro-Mobility Plans
o Transportation Plans
● Internet: Almost all the historical and current information (including the availability of documents) regarding bicycle safety came from internet searches. Information from those searches was verified.
● Survey: The Grand Jury sent a survey in December 2022 using Google Forms to understand whether the cities believe eBikes were an issue in their communities. The results helped in defining the broader issue of bicycle safety. o The survey questions and results are in Appendix A.
o Participants: The survey was sent to all the cities in SMC and, specifically, the City Managers. Many chose to have the chief of police of their city fill out the survey. Two cities did not respond to the survey.
● Interviews: The survey helped the Grand Jury develop a list of individuals for interviews. The questions for the interview came as a result of the investigation’s pivot to the state of bicycle safety in San Mateo County as a general topic. o Participants:
▪ Cities: Belmont, Daly City, Half Moon Bay, Hillsborough, Pacifica, Portola Valley, San Mateo, Woodside
▪ Unincorporated San Mateo County
▪ Police Departments: Burlingame, Foster City, Hillsborough, Redwood City, South San Francisco
▪ Sheriff of SMC
▪ BPACs: CCAG, Unincorporated SMC
▪ CyclistVideoEvidence.com: Craig Davis

GLOSSARY
3 ft. Rule – Motorists must yield at least 3 feet between their vehicle and a bicyclist on all roadways. This rule was amended by State legislation through Assembly Bill 1909, approved by the Governor in 2022, and commencing January 2024. Additionally, this bill requires a vehicle that is passing or overtaking a vehicle to move over to an adjacent lane of traffic, as specified, if one is available, before passing or overtaking the bicycle.

Active Transportation - A means of getting around that is powered by human energy, primarily walking and bicycling.

BFA – Bike Friendly America. A program sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists to evaluate communities with respect to their support for bicycling. As of December 2022, 501 communities are certified.

C/CAG – City County Association of Governments of San Mateo County Bicycle Roadways
● Bike paths (Class I): also termed shared-use or multi-use paths, are paved rights-of-way for exclusive use by bicyclists, pedestrians and those using non-motorized modes of travel. They are physically separated from vehicular traffic and can be constructed in roadway rights-of-way or exclusive rights-of-way. Bike paths provide critical connections in the city where roadways are absent or are not conducive to bicycle travel. ● Bike lanes (Class II): are defined by pavement striping and signage used to allocate a portion of a roadway for exclusive or preferential bicycle travel. Bike lanes are one-way facilities on either side of a roadway. Whenever possible, bike lanes should be enhanced with treatments that improve safety and connectivity by addressing site-specific issues, such as additional warning or wayfinding signage.
● Bike routes (Class III): provide shared use with motor vehicle traffic within the same travel lane. Designated by signs, bike routes provide continuity to other bike facilities or designate preferred routes through corridors with high demand. Whenever possible, bike

routes should be enhanced with treatments that improve safety and connectivity, such as the use of "Sharrows" or shared lane markings to delineate the road as a shared-use facility.
● Cycle tracks (Class IV): Also referred to as protected bikeways, are exclusive bike facilities that combine the user experience of a separated path with the on-street infrastructure of a conventional bike lane. A cycle track is physically separated from motor traffic and distinct from the sidewalk. The separation may be in the form of posts, parked cars or a combination of both.
eBike – motorized bicycle that comes in three different classes:
● Class I: Bicycle equipped with a motor that aids only when pedaling and ceases when 20 mph is reached.
● Class II: Same capability as a Class 1 eBike with a throttle-actuated motor. No pedaling required when operated with the throttle.
● Class III: Bicycle equipped with a motor that aids only when pedaling and ceases when 28 mph is reached.

APPENDIX A: Bicycle Safety Best Practices
Bicycle Education Best Practices
There are two excellent examples of California communities that are investing in Bike Safety education: Davis and San Diego.

San Diego Bike Coalition:

This is an excellent reference tool to see all the kinds of bicycle safety education that can be offered and the resources that can be used to teach those courses. Again, the classes range from those for a variety of ages of bicyclists, basic bicycling, bicycle friendly motorist safety, and others.
https://sdbikecoalition.org/our-work/education/

Davis, California:

The City of Davis, CA, which is one of the leading bicycle communities in the US, has several pages of information about bike safety education on its website. https://www.cityofdavis.org/city-hall/public-works-engineering-and-transportation/bike- pedestrian-program
Two Cities Committed to Bicycling: Portland, Oregon and Davis, California Portland and Davis have become famous for their commitment to supporting bicycling, not only as recreational, but also as a true commuter alternative to motor vehicles and public transportation. Both have received the Platinum rating for a Bicycle Friendly Community from The League of American Bicyclists, while being quite different communities.

Portland is a large city of 622,000 residents with similar topography to the linked San Mateo County cities along El Camino Real: hilly and flat lands, urban centers, urban neighborhoods, suburbia, and major freeways. Portland advertises itself as “Bicycle Friendly” and claimed the highest percentage of bike commuters in US large cities in 2019 at 6% (Portland does annual bike ride census counts). Portland started investing in bicycle infrastructure with the acceptance of the 1973 Portland Bike Plan and the formation of a Bicycle Advisory Committee within the City Transportation Department. Since then, it has created:

● 385 miles of bikeways
● 36 miles of protected bike lanes
● A pedestrian and bicycle only bridge over the Willamette River and protected bike lanes on other bridges
● Intersections with bicycle specific traffic signals

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 24

● Bicycle boxes44 at intersections to raise the visibility for motorists turning right ● A Safe Routes for Schools serving 100 schools
● 6500 bike racks to meet increased demand for safe stow of bicycles ● 3 bicycle plans over 40 years that establish policy, goals and a bikeway network ● $60 M spent to 2008 on bicycle infrastructure (one mile of installed freeway costs $60M)

Portland’s safety record is very good for a large city: 4.3% of all traffic injury accidents from 2015-2019 are bicycle related. In comparison, San Francisco’s number is 14% for the same period. Portland also does better than San Mateo County (8%) and a representative city, Redwood City (10%).

Davis in California is a small city between San Francisco and Sacramento with a population of 66,800. It has earned a nationwide reputation for supporting bicycles in its community (there is a bicycle on the city logo). The topography of Davis could not be flatter and more conducive to bicycle riding. The current statistics indicate that 20% of Davis’s population commutes on bicycles. In 1967, Davis was the first community in the US to develop dedicated bicycle lanes (a total of 4!). The origins of this project were a couple that had visited the Netherlands, often cited as the most bicycle friendly nation in the world. They were so impressed with the bicycle infrastructure that they started a grassroots movement in Davis to promote safe bicycle riding.

The group had to overcome CA law that did not support bike lanes on city streets, but once the law was revised, Davis proceeded to create bicycle infrastructure throughout the City:
● 63 miles of pathways
● 102 miles of bike lanes
● 75% of roads have a posted speed limit of 25 mph
● Of the 169 miles in the road network, 140 miles of roads are posted at 25 mph or less., 21 miles of roads are posted at between 25 mph and 35 mph, and 8 miles of roads posted over 35 mph
● 1 mile of bicycle boulevards
● 1 mile of cycle track
● 4 miles of buffered bike lanes
● 4,300 bike racks within the City and over 2,000 bike racks downtown ● 25 grade separated crossings. Four overpasses and 21 underpass crossings. Grade- separated crossings are used to move people on bikes and pedestrians over and under barriers like railroad tracks, busy roads, and the freeway.

Davis’s bicycle accidents with injury (and fatalities) are high for a city of its size. However, the number of total accidents with injury is also very low compared to cities of comparable size. For

44 https://nacto.org/publication/urban-bikeway-design-guide/intersection-treatments/bike-boxes/

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 25

example: in 2019 there were 60 bicycle accidents with injury and 221 total vehicle injury accidents resulting in 27% of all vehicular accidents involving a bicycle. Redwood City’s number is 4.8%, but their number of bicycle commuters is less than 1%. If you look at the percentage of accidents with respect to the biking population for 2019, Davis’s percentage is .4% and Redwood City’s percentage is 2.4%. Davis’s safety statistics are very good, given the number of bicycle riders.

Both Portland and Davis are renowned environments for bicycle riders because they committed early to bicycle infrastructure and consistently improved it over the years. The city government and the school systems actively support bicycle education. Both cities conduct counts to determine bicycle use. They are both advocates of the Vision Zero policy to reduce accidents and fatalities. They use the Bicycle Friendly Community evaluation process to assess their progress towards their bicycle plans and goals.

Disclosure: Portland, beginning in 2020, noted a decline in bicycle commuter percentages.

Thinking it was an aberration of the pandemic shutdown, it continued to do annual bike counts.

As of 2022, its percentage had gone down to 3.1%. The current theory of why there has been a decline is assumed to be the increase of work from home. Regardless, Portland continues to make improvements to its bicycle infrastructure and safety.

APPENDIX C: Survey Questions and Results

This is a summary of the responses:

1. Cities and law enforcement do not track bicycle and eBike accident statistics separately; in fact, most respondents did not track eBike specific data at all (94%).

2. Complaints on Class I Bicycle Roadways include speeding and not yielding to pedestrians.

3. Complaints on Class II and III Bicycle Roadways include speeding, improper signaling, mixed use of bikes/eBikes and violation of the 3 ft. Rule.

4. Of 361 citations issued, only 11 were specifically for eBikes. It is impossible to know if there were more eBikes in violation as there is no requirement to ID the type of bicycle when filling out the form.

5. Class 3 eBikes are more powerful machines and have specific laws regarding usage. Only 50% of the respondents were enforcing the Class 3 eBike laws.

6. Complaints and incidents regarding bicycles (from riders or others) come mostly through police reports, but also from input to City Halls, Redwood City’s “app”, city planning, parks and recreation.

7. 1/3 respondents said there has been an increase in complaints regarding bicycles in the last three years (speeding, underage use, reckless behavior, vehicular code).

8. 2/3 of respondents said there had not been an increase in complaints regarding eBikes and 25% said they didn’t know.

9. Civilian bicycle complaints are generally not available to the public (over 50% of respondents).

10. 44% of respondents said they don’t provide bicycle safety education.

11. Enforcement of bicycle-related law is done where appropriate, with discretionary authority. Effort is made to educate at the time of the infraction. Additional enforcement is budget driven.

12. Future planning for the regulation of bicycles and eBikes varies greatly in the responses (see Question II-16 in Appendix A).

List of responses to questions (on the next page):

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 33

If you are enforcing bicycle/eBike law, how is it accomplished? ● Nothing too specific. Enforcement during routine patrol if violations are witnessed. The PD has done a few details and targeted patrols in our downtown area specifically looking for bicycle violations (riding on sidewalks, helmet violations, reckless behavior, etc.). ● The Police Department enforces all laws as appropriate and with necessary and legal discretionary authority.
● Education and Enforcement
● All officers are trained to enforce Vehicle Code and Municipal Code law on bicycles and eBikes.
● On view and by complaint.
● On view and calls for service which result in Education or Enforcement. ● Traffic enforcement resulting in citations and/or verbal warnings/ education to the public. ● Through proactive patrols, directed enforcement and calls for service. ● Most bicycle stops are made for violations occurring on roadways, not on trails or sidewalks. Most bike stops result in education and not citations as evidenced by our low citation numbers.
● Primarily through education and warnings.
● We have not enforced the Bicycle/eBike law because we have not received any comments to date that have triggered the Police Department to enforce.

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 34

● By Sheriff patrol.
● We can’t enforce much because of limitations in light of funding and staffing needs

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 35

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 36

Does your city/town have any future plans regarding the regulation of bicycles and eBikes? ● Not at this time.
● Yes. Additional and improved bike lanes.
● Policies in the newly adopted General Plan supporting alternative modes of transportation, including bikes.
● Awaiting the results of the County-wide eBike pilot to determine best practices to implement.
● Not at this time.
● Not at this time. There have not been complaints/concerns regarding eBikes. ● Not at this time.
● Not that I am aware of.
● No, unless we start receiving complaints.
● Yes, The City of South San Francisco's Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. ● No
● As the Town begins to understand various micro-mobility issues going forward, eBikes being part of that growth pattern, we will plan to prepare plans and outreach material to help educate the bike populations on eBike protocols and safety. ● With the growing development, more bike facilities are being provided for the general public. Public outreach and programs to help educate both current/new users are currently

2022-2023 San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury 37

being implemented citywide. Buildout of Bike & Pedestrian master plan is underway.

Alameda de Las Pulgas and Ralston 4 designs are underway. Creation of a transportation master plan is also underway. Parks & Recreation Department is developing a Master Plan that also includes implementation of eBikes policies on open space trails. ● Yes
● Nothing specific regulatory changes planned at this time. ● City is currently drafting ordinance language to address the increasing number of electric mobility devices that are present on trails and paths. Many conversations have occurred at BPAC and council (among other committees and commissions) and will continue in 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT

ENVIRONMENTAL
The City Council’s action in approving grant funding is more akin to an administrative or organizational activity of the Town that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guideline 15378. It is also a government fiscal activity where no potentially significant impact on the environment will occur pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15378.

BACKGROUND
The Town’s process for non-profit funding requests, as outlined in subchapter 4.03 of the Colma Administrative Code, spells out several requirements for organizations to be funded by the Town.

Grants may be made to three types of eligible organizations: IRS 501(c)(3) charities, government entities, and the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, the amount of each grant must be roughly proportional to the benefit provided by the organization to the Town or its residents and businesses. Additionally, to be eligible to receive a grant, each organization must meet the following requirements: the organization’s mission must include providing a benefit to a defined geographical area that encompasses the Town of Colma (for example, a food pantry that serves residents of San Mateo County); the organization’s governing board must reflect the diverse interests of the community; the organization must have policies and procedures to assure that the grant’s purposes are met; and the organization must be in compliance with the required registration and reporting requirements set forth by the California Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trusts.

Grants cannot be given to fund existing debts; to a religious organization unless it is for a general need and the project does not promote the teachings of a particular church; or to support a political campaign. Grants will be made with the understanding that the Town has no obligation or commitment to provide any additional support to the grantee.

To help guide the organizations in identifying a public purpose in their requested program and assist the Council in making that determination, five categories of qualifying programs or projects are established in the Administrative Code. To qualify for a grant, the program or project to be funded must:
(1) Provide shelter, food, or clothing to persons in need of those programs ( Necessities
of Life);
(2) Provide physical or mental health services to persons with special needs (Integrated Care Services);
(3) Educate and engage residents (Education);
(4) Promote economic development or support businesses located or doing business in the Town (Economic Development); or
(5) Provide a service that the Town could provide to its residents or businesses or , support, complement or enhance a service or program that the Town provides to its residents or businesses (Complementary Service).

The $145,000 in available funding is broken down into two discrete budget line items: $135,000 allocated to the City Council budget under the line item Donations; and $10,000 allocated to the Planning Department budget under the line item Legal Mandates.

For all entities, staff’s proposed grant amounts are equivalent from the funding that was approved in Fiscal Year 2022-23. Of course, the City Council has ultimate discretion regarding the actual amount of funding granted; however, if City Council opts to increase the proposed funding beyond the available budget, a budget amendment may need to be processed at a future meeting.

ANALYSIS
The Council must make two determinations with respect to each application: first, that the applicant meets the criteria for an eligible organization set forth in section 4.03.030 of the Colma Administrative Code, and second, that each proposed use of funds will serve a public purpose, as set forth in section 4.03.020 of the Colma Administrative Code. There is substantial evidence in each application to support findings on each of these determinations.

4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:

DocuSign Envelope ID: 3CBD6789-199D-4B28-9C0C-47B95FBF0DC6 This request supports category B by providing health, independent living, and pre-vocational skill building for adults with developmental disabilities in a community-based setting at the Colma Community Center. Our project focuses on nutrition, healthy eating, cooking skills, physical health, and community inclusion.

Obesity rates for individuals with disabilities are approximately 57% higher than for adults without disabilities, making these skills critical to the health and wellbeing of those we serve. Additionally, as a result of sheltering-in-place for the Covid-19 pandemic, the healthy living routines for many individuals were disrupted. An ongoing emphasis has been placed on returning to healthy living routines to combat a decline in physical health. Modifications to physical activities have helped rebuild stamina through fitness classes, community hikes, and neighborhood walks. To return to healthy eating habits, participants will learn about nutrition, portion sizes, and preparation of healthy meals on a budget. Participants also initiated an on-going healthy snacks project by re-evaluating vending machine offerings at AbilityPath sites. They decided which items should be substituted for healthier choices, removed soda completely, and continue to reassess if they are providing healthy (+ cost effective) options. We will rent the kitchen at the Colma Community Center and purchase groceries, which will also support businesses in the Town (category D).

We intend to rent the Colma kitchen at least once per week, permitting the kitchen's availability, for educational and instructional classes including basic nutrition education, meal planning, food selection, following a recipe, food preparation, food storage methods. Participants will purchase ingredients for recipes by following a budget, reading food labels, purchasing the items - all of which include social and financial skill practice. Traveling to the community center also addresses learning and practicing how to use public transportation. Other areas of instruction incorporated into these sessions include following direction, safety awareness, and working together.

AbilityPath is also piloting a culinary vocational program that will provide skills training and employment opportunities for individuals who are interested in the culinary industry; the Colma kitchen will be utilized for these culinary program sessions as well. Funds will support the cost of food, the rental of the Colma kitchen at least weekly for three months, and transportation to the kitchen. 6/26/2023 Page 3 of 6

5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:

6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:

DocuSign Envelope ID: 3CBD6789-199D-4B28-9C0C-47B95FBF0DC6 AbilityPath participants will support local Colma businesses and organizations when they learn about activities in the town as well as how to access and enjoy them using public transportation. They are more likely to utilize these resources and contribute to the local economy on an on-going basis once they are more familiar with the town.

Additionally, Colma residents and businesses will have opportunities to interact with people who have developmental disabilities, increasing understanding, respect, acceptance, and inclusion. Finally, Colma's residents who have family members with disabilities will see a future of inclusion in their local community for their family members.

B. The location(s) where Colma residents or businesses may receive the recipient organization’s services or programs; and
C. The nature and extent of the efforts of the recipient organization to reach out to Colma residents and businesses.

8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2022-23 contribution was used:

DocuSign Envelope ID: 3CBD6789-199D-4B28-9C0C-47B95FBF0DC6 A: Throughout our programs, we've served at least 7 businesses and 30 residents.

B: The program will visit and utilize the Colma Community Center, Target, Starbucks and BART. During other outings not related to this grant request, participants will also visit the following: Metro Center Complex, Colma Historical Museum, Cypress Golf Course, Starbucks, and Kohl's.

C: AbilityPath staff have a positive relationship with Colma Community Center based on past/current history of renting the kitchen. Staff also explore the area in person and online to identify new locations for activities and volunteer opportunities.

Additionally, we reach Colma residents and businesses through marketing.

The 2022-2023 grant provided by the Town of Colma allowed AbilityPath to offer important life skills and pre-vocational training to adults with developmental disabilities. As our programs gradually returned to in-person services, we continued to offer hybrid schedules to meet the needs, the stamina, and the comfort of the 271 day program participants we served (141 of whom are San Mateo County residents). Halfway through the year, we had approximately 70% back on hybrid schedules of 2-3 days of in-person and the remaining days as virtual programming. By June 2023, we had approximately 90% of participants on this hybrid schedule; of those individuals, over 50% are attending 5 days per week. The remaining individuals continue to utilize a hybrid schedule; for some, this is based on choice, and others are navigating transportation barriers. We offered 25 fitness classes each week; 100% of participants had access to & participated in at least one fitness/exercise activity each day (including 3 daily virtual class options). Classes/activities included yoga, drumming for fitness, seated chair exercise, walking, tai chi, hiking, basketball, soccer, and going to the gym. We offered 24 health and nutrition classes each week; 100% of participants had access to & participated in at least one nutrition/health-related class each day. Classes included cooking, healthy snacks, general nutrition education, self-care, art therapy, mindfulness, & meditation. We finally returned to the Colma Community Center kitchen in September 2022 to put our Health & Wellness curriculum into hands-on practice. We utilized the kitchen 1-2 times per week for educational and instructional classes including basic nutrition education, meal planning, food selection, following a recipe, food preparation, food storage methods. Participants purchased ingredients for recipes by following a budget, reading food labels, purchasing the items - all of which include social and financial skill practice. Other areas of instruction incorporated into these sessions included following directions, safety awareness, hygiene, and working together.

We also held cooking classes at our Burlingame site each week.FY2022-2023 funds supported salaries & wages for staff, food and program supplies for participants, and rental fees for the Colma kitchen.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021-2022
DocuSign Envelope ID: 3CBD6789-199D-4B28-9C0C-47B95FBF0DC6 Another exciting highlight of the
year was our inspiring
13th Annual
Power of Possibilities event hosted at
Filoli Gardens. With your generous
support, we raised over $750,000 to
support our programs. Celebrating
the accomplishments of Jennifer
Gorman, this year’s Neal Poppin Award
winner, was one of my favorite parts
of the evening! Jennifer found her
dream job in the bakery at Lucky in
Redwood City. Her dedication and
warm personality have made Jennifer
a valued member of the Lucky Bakery
Team. Congratulations, Jennifer!
Finally, we continue to spend
significant time reflecting on the
importance of our work around
diversity, equity, and inclusion - values
that are at the core of our vision. As
part of our efforts, we expanded our
DEI Core Curriculum and staff trainings.

We expanded and now support six
active Employee Resource Groups
As we reflect on all we’ve accomplished
this past year, I’d like to thank you for
your support in helping us maintain
critical services for children and
adults with developmental disabilities.

During another year of the pandemic,
our teams served more than 1,000
individuals on a daily basis. We
maintained high-quality standards and
excelled at innovating new and creative
ways to deliver services in both virtual
and in-person environments.

Our Children’s Therapy Services
team offered both in-person and
tele-therapy and relaunched group
classes. Learning Links’ early learning
and inclusive preschool centers made
numerous improvements to physical
spaces and taught hundreds of children
with and without special needs.

Our Family Support Services team
provided emotional support, connected
families with resources, and screened
nearly 500 children to support early
identification of developmental delays.

Adult Programs provided services in a
variety of formats to meet individual
needs based on comfort levels with
returning in person. Our Day Program
continued to roll out the new Pathways
curriculum, which helps individuals
build skills and confidence by working
together to take a project from
concept to completion; one of the four
projects this year was the production
of the program’s first ever yearbook,
including links to musical and audio
narratives along with photo montages.

Our Independent Living Skills program
hosted six different clubs, providing
social and learning opportunities for
adults. Our Employment Services team
supported over 50 adults to secure
new jobs in the community.

AbilityPath also led a successful
statewide advocacy campaign with
1,800 advocates who sent 2,800+
messages to elected officials
about accelerating rate increases
from California Department of
Developmental Services, which is a
start to addressing two decades of
chronic underfunding. These advocacy
efforts helped lead to a rate increase
that will result in an additional $400K
in annual revenue for AbilityPath.

Leading Innovation, Advocacy, and
Inclusion in Our Community
and work in close partnership with our
teams to support the annual DEI goal
setting f
or each department. While
we’re proud of the progress we’ve
made, we know there is more work to
do.

I look forward to seeing what the
AbilityPath family can achieve in the
coming year. Thank you wholeheartedly
for supporting our mission and
inspiring inclusion.

through our Tú y Y
o class, where Spanish-
speaking parents learn about their
child’s development through play and
practice strategies to support their child.

She quickly learned about AbilityPath’s
other services and worked with our Help
Me Grow Care Coordinator, Danielle, to
complete a developmental screening
because she was worried that her son
Diego* was not speaking or developing
as expected for his age. The screening
results confirmed her concerns and
*not pictured
Vilma immediately felt panicked, unsure
what to do
. Danielle calmly reassured
her, explaining the benefits of early
identification, describing how other
families have helped their children, and
presenting Vilma with several options for
her son.

Since Vilma’s English is limited,
Danielle helped her complete all the
documentation for a speech and language
evaluation. Then she worked with Vilma
to find services, helping her understand
the process and making it easier for her.

Every week, Danielle followed up. She stayed with Vilma for every step until Diego was connected to services. She even came to Vilma’s house with a bag of supplies and provided information about free community resources, programs, and events. Vilma says, “They showed me how to advocate for my child’s rights and not to be afraid to ask for help. They also assisted me in navigating through the hard systems and long wait lists to be able to get the early intervention that my son needed for future success.” With Danielle as her ally, Diego got the speech and language therapies he needed, and Vilma received the support she needed to become a critical part of her child’s care team.

er of that is Ravi Ayer, a store
associate. Ravi started at Savers through an internship, which was a great success. Working with his job
developer, Joanne, Ravi applied to become a part-time
employee, interviewed for the job, and was hired!
Speaking about his work, Ravi says: “What I like most
about my job is helping customers and putting out the
clothes in the kids and adult sections. I want to keep
working hard and achieve my goals.” Ravi’s mother,
Mandeep, says she has seen a big change in Ravi since
he started work. “He has so much more confidence,” she
says. “He speaks more clearly and he looks forward to
Tuesday each week when he goes back to work.”

When deciding on his goals for the coming year, Ravi
said he is working on developing his customer service
skills, particularly responding to customer questions
when on the shop floor. And whenever asked about his
performance at work, Ravi’s supervisors say they wish he could work more often because he’s such a pleasure to
have around!

Ravi is now a happier person, gaining skills, confidence, and independence - and helping to make his community
a better place.

In addition to deliv

services in FY22, our team e
xpanded
program offerings through mergers
and affiliations. We are now one of the
only providers of community-based
rehabilitation programs and therapy
services on the Peninsula for adults who
have experienced a stroke or traumatic
brain injury. Services for Brain Injury
(SBI) and REACH Program were the two
remaining organizations on the Peninsula
providing these services prior to their
closures due to the economic impact
of the pandemic. AbilityPath assumed
employment services for SBI in 2019,
and since taking on their operations,
we have grown the number of adults
in that program by nearly 300%. In
December 2021, AbilityPath assumed the
therapy programs offered by REACH,
retaining their staff and location in Palo
Alto, ensuring these important services
continued to be offered.

In June, we signed an Affiliation
Agreement with Via Services, making
us one of the largest and most
comprehensive providers of services to
people with developmental disabilities
and their families on the Peninsula. As
part of the Affiliation, we have added First
Step children’s therapy services and Camp
Via West, an incredible 13.5 acre campus,
where the dedicated staff provide
weekend daytime respite services and a
summer camp program serving youth and
adults with developmental disabilities.

This incredible resource is located right in
the heart of Silicon Valley.

Along with the mergers of ALLS and
Abilities United, these actions were part of
a strategy we developed nearly five years
ago in order to overcome the challenges
of the high cost of doing business in the
Bay Area and nearly two decades of
underfunding from the State of California.

As a result of these efforts, we have
streamlined administrative, marketing,
and overhead functions, allowing us to
redeploy more resources to support staff
and programs so we can expand, innovate,
and improve our lifespan of services for
children, adults, and families.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 3CBD6789-199D-4B28-9C0C-47B95FBF0DC6 Through the generosity of our donors and as a result of strong fiscal management, AbilityPath w
as able to deliver high quality programs, invest in staff, and upgrade facilities, while managing during a time of uncertainty created by the pandemic.

We are proud to have been able to maintain employee wages, support professional development, and expand benefits offerings; both which constitute 75% of operating expenses. For example, in FY22 we provided our staff with additional PTO days and additional mental health benefits during another challenging year.

There were two significant financial benefits in FY22 that impacted our results. First was the $2.6M forgiveness of a “Payroll Protection Program” loan under the U.S.

CARES Act of 2021 which provided small businesses with the resources necessary to maintain payroll during COVID-19; proceeds from the loan were used to support staff retention during the pandemic. Second, $1.6M of restricted funds associated with the Abilities United Affiliation were contributed to AbilityPath in FY22; these restricted funds cannot be used for general operations.

Looking ahead, we anticipate FY23 will be a more challenging year financially.

Economic uncertainty may impact our financial reserves and it may also affect philanthropic support. In addition, a tight labor market and hiring challenges might constrain our ability to fully staff our programs.

RE: Final Report on FY22-23 Grant

Dear Mr. Dossey and Ms. Dometita,

Thank you again for the grant of $6,500 from Town of Colma. With your support, 141 adults with developmental disabilities learned important pre- vocational and life skills through participation in the health, fitness, and cooking classes provided by AbilityPath. Your support made an impact while we continued a gradual return to in-person programming. We are happy to report that approximately 90% of our program is back to in- person services.

On the following pages, we are pleased to highlight the outcomes of the program during the grant period. Your support is helping create a world in which people of all abilities are fully accepted, respected, and included. If you have any questions, please contact Anne-Marie Hong, Grants Manager, at 650-250-7130 or [email protected].

With gratitude,

Kim Malhotra

AbilityPath grant report to Town of Colma – June 30, 2023

Results of the Program

The 2022-23 grant provided by Town of Colma enabled AbilityPath to offer valuable life skills and pre-vocational training to adults with developmental disabilities. Our Adult Day Program now serves individuals from San Jose to South San Francisco with a total of 271 participants. We serve 141 individuals in our Day Program-North, which consists of San Mateo County residents.

In FY23, we continued a gradual return to in-person services to emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic. Halfway through the year, we had approximately 70% back on hybrid schedules of 2-3 days of in-person and the remaining days as virtual programming. By June 2023, we had approximately 90% of participants on this hybrid schedule; of those individuals, over 50% are attending 5 days per week. The remaining individuals continue to utilize a hybrid schedule; for some, this is based on choice, and others are navigating transportation barriers.

Over the last year, we emphasized returning to healthy living routines to combat a decline in physical health from the pandemic. We modified physical activities to build stamina through fitness classes, community hikes, and neighborhood walks. To return to healthy eating habits, participants learned about nutrition, portion sizes, and preparation of healthy meals on a budget.

We offered 25 fitness classes each week; 100% of participants had access to & participated in at least one fitness/exercise activity each day (including 3 daily virtual class options).

Classes/activities included yoga, drumming for fitness, seated chair exercise, walking, tai chi, hiking, basketball, soccer, and going to the gym. Staff reported an improved motivation to participate in fitness activities in comparison to pre-pandemic. A morning walking group was developed, and many individuals found it was a positive method to start their day, and they’d also participate in an additional exercise activity later in the day. Participants who were previously known to not enjoy exercise-focused activities often passed the manager’s office enthusiastically saying, “I’m going on my morning walk now – see you later!”

We offered 24 health and nutrition classes each week; 100% of participants had access to & participated in at least one nutrition/health-related class each day. Classes included cooking, healthy snacks, general nutrition education, self-care, art therapy, mindfulness, & meditation. The wellness classes had a significant impact on participants. Program staff found that individuals arrived at program with heightened anxiety and stress, and asked participants if they wanted to start their day off with something to center themselves, decompress from any morning stress, and set them up to have a positive day. Participants consistently and enthusiastically engaged with these classes and showed positive changes in behaviors.

We returned to the Colma kitchen in September 2022 after a long hiatus due to the pandemic. We utilized the kitchen 1-2 times per week for educational and instructional classes including basic nutrition education, meal planning, food selection, following a recipe, food preparation, food storage methods. Participants purchased ingredients for recipes by following a budget, reading food labels, purchasing the items - all of which include social and financial skill practice. Other areas of instruction incorporated into these sessions included following directions, safety awareness, hygiene, and working together. Staff reported that most participants were motivated to experiment with new & more complex recipes. We also held cooking classes at our Burlingame site each week.

As they returned to a regular routine, the Adult Day Program engaged in several new projects. As a part of our organization-wide DEI vision, we incorporated diversity, equity, and inclusion into the program curriculum where possible. Participants created a cookbook called "Welcome to Our Kitchens" that reflected their cultural identities while also putting their nutrition and healthy living knowledge into practice. They tested out each recipe they included in the cookbook and dove deep into the history of a culture and the preparation of different foods while being mindful of healthy habits and nutrition-focused practices.

The Day Program also embarked on a Vending Machine Project. A group identified that the on-site vending machine did not provide healthy enough snack options, so they sought out to identify what types of snacks and drinks should be offered instead. It was a practice in reading labels, being mindful of what types of ingredients, foods, and drinks they consume, and they immediately ruled out candy, soda, and instant soups. It was also a practice in adhering to a budget and learning the financial repercussions of choosing healthier options.

Lastly, the Day Program used to have a food truck come on-site for lunch, which ceased during the pandemic. Participants expressed the desire to have it back so they can have more choices in lunch options, and they decided to work with staff to identify a healthier food truck option. This project is still in progress.

Throughout the year, we've served at least 7 businesses and 30 residents. The program visits and utilizes the Colma Community Center, Target, Starbucks, and BART. During other outings not related to this grant request, participants also frequent the following: Metro Center Complex, Colma Historical Museum, Cypress Golf Course, and Kohl's.

Among all the participants in our day program, 47% required little to no support to learn health and physical education skills to help maintain or achieve a healthy weight.

AbilityPath also piloted a culinary vocational program to provide skills training and employment opportunities for individuals who are interested in the culinary industry. We successfully utilized the Colma kitchen for culinary program sessions, which helped prepare 6 participants to participate in 3 paid employment opportunities.

We look forward to continuing to rent the Colma kitchen for classes throughout FY24.

Use of Grant Funds

$ 4,500 Salaries & Wages
$ 1,200 Food and Program Supplies
$ 800 Colma Kitchen Rental

Supplies for cooking and nutrition classes were provided to staff teaching in -person classes at the Colma kitchen and our Burlingame site. The addition of the Healthy Snacks classes increased our food purchases as well as the recipe exploration for the cookbook.

Our rental fees for the Colma kitchen were less than usual due to a surplus in credits for fees paid during the pandemic when we were not able to physically use the kitchen. We were able to leverage other funding to help offset the rental costs throughout the year.

4. Describe reason for request and how funds will be used:

DocuSign Envelope ID: 1BF6FF56-D2C5-44C6-8F44-790CE62A01C1 Our clinic serves a diverse population with staggering rates of chronic conditions. 12% have diabetes, one-third have hypertension, and over a third have hyperlipidemia. While we provide excellent primary and preventive care, we recognize the vital role that factors like food security play in managing chronic illnesses.

Our Food as Medicine program is a transformative approach to healthcare that goes beyond traditional medical services. We address the immediate needs of struggling patients by offering healthy meal boxes filled with essential grains, proteins, vegetables, and fruits, accompanied by tailored recipes and health education. We firmly believe that nutrition is just as vital as medication and regular check-ups in managing chronic diseases.

However, affordability and accessibility pose significant challenges for our patients.

Many cannot afford nutritious food, lack the confidence to make the right choices, or simply struggle with time constraints due to work and family responsibilities.

With a grant from the Town of Colma, we can bolster and expand our Food Pharmacy Program, ensuring more patients receive essential staples during our bi-weekly Food Pharmacy sessions. Additionally, we'll provide Food Vouchers, enabling patients to purchase fresh produce and groceries at local stores.

Our Bounty Box program, powered by dedicated volunteers, will continue to deliver fresh produce to those facing transportation or health challenges.

Your grant will also be used in part to fund the stipend for our Food as Medicine Coordinator Intern, whose dedication and experience is vital to the success of our program.

Our Food as Medicine program urgently needs funding to combat the alarming rates of food insecurity in our community. Pre-COVID, over 20% of our patients faced food insecurity, and the pandemic has exacerbated this issue to a shocking 54%.

As a free clinic, we are uniquely positioned to address this "silent epidemic" with compassion and understanding. Our patients trust us, making our efforts even more impactful. Through our program, we provide essential services like food vouchers, Bounty Box home deliveries, and food as medicine recipes which empower patients to access nutritious food. Additionally, our Food Pharmacy offers medically-tailored food boxes, bridging the gap between food and managing chronic diseases.

Your support will help us expand these vital services and continue our Health and Wellness blog, Healing by the Bay. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those experiencing food insecurity and promote a healthier, more equitable community.

5. If the amount of the request is higher than the previous year, provide a detailed explanation of the need for the increase:

6. Describe the benefit to the Town derived from funding your organization:

DocuSign Envelope ID: 1BF6FF56-D2C5-44C6-8F44-790CE62A01C1 Last year, we requested $8,000 and gratefully received $4,000. This year, we are expanding services and moving into a larger clinic, which enables us to serve hundreds of more residents each year. Because of the clinic move, program expansion, and post-pandemic constraints, we are requesting $8,000 in support. Furthermore, despite many aspects of daily life returning back to normal, inflation-induced rising food costs and essential medical supplies have added to the financial burden of managing this program area.

These challenges inspire us to adapt and grow, continually refining our innovative Food as Medicine program, but we need sustainable partnerships. Your generous support empowers us to maintain our vital services and provide accessible care to those who need it most.

At Clinic by the Bay, we are on a mission to create a healthier and more vibrant community for residents of Colma. Our services reduce preventable emergency room visits, bolster the primary care safety net, and elevate health outcomes for low-income and uninsured adults in San Francisco and San Mateo Counties.

Sadly, San Mateo County faces a pressing primary care capacity problem, leaving uninsured adults on lengthy waiting lists and limited access to vital health services.

This lack of accessibility affects not only individuals but our entire community:
families grapple with illness, local businesses contend with a less productive workforce, and emergency rooms bear the burden of preventable health issues. But together, we can be the beacon of hope for Colma residents in need. Clinic by the Bay offers comprehensive, free primary care services, ensuring that no one is left behind.

Our commitment extends beyond medical care by empowering the community to be part of the solution through meaningful volunteer opportunities, as well.

With your generous support, we will continue to provide healthy food options to our patients from Colma. This crucial step aids them in managing their chronic conditions, fostering better health outcomes and enabling them to lead productive lives and give back to their beloved community.

8. Provide a detailed account of how the FY 2022-23 contribution was used:

DocuSign Envelope ID: 1BF6FF56-D2C5-44C6-8F44-790CE62A01C1 A. 29% of our patients report that they reside in the Town of Colma, which is 231 of our currently active patients.

B. Services are provided at Clinic by the Bay, which is located at 4877 Mission Street in the far southeastern part of San Francisco (specifically, the Excelsior neighborhood) and is easily accessible from Colma by public transportation or car.

Some of the services mentioned in this application are received at the residents' homes (our Bounty Box food delivery program). Later in the Fall of 2023, we will be moving a block away to the historic site of the former Alemany Emergency Hospital at 35 Onondaga Avenue.

C. Community outreach is performed through resource fairs, flyers, and referrals from our more comprehensive network of community partners, including other medical and social service providers.

We used the Town of Colma’s 2022-23 grant to help fund our Food as Medicine program, specifically: purchasing food vouchers through the EatSF Vouchers for Veggies program, our Food Security Program Coordinator’s (paid internship) stipend, and supplementing the ingredients we purchase for food in the boxes we distribute at our Food Pharmacy. The funds also helped support the salary of our Volunteer Program Manager whose job it is to make sure our food access programs are staffed with volunteers to provide the services.

2022-23 Program Accomplishments:

Bounty boxes delivered - 1288
Patients enrolled in our Food Pharmacy - 51

Clinic by the Bay is immensely grateful for the unwavering partnership we share with the Town of Colma, whose steadfast support has been instrumental in our mission to provide primary and preventive care for uninsured working adults in Colma. With deep appreciation, we present this report highlighting the program's impactful activities and notable achievements during the grant period from October 2022 through June 2023. Together, we have made a significant difference in the lives of those in our community, fostering a healthier and more resilient future for all.

Description

Clinic by the Bay remains committed to provide exceptional and compassionate care to uninsured working adults in our community. The impact of our services continues to grow, with 29% of our patients now hailing from the Town of Colma, and nearly half of our patients residing in San Mateo County—a number that continues to rise.

Thanks to the generous support from the Town of Colma, we have primarily directed their recent gift towards our Food Security program. This vital initiative was launched amidst the challenging backdrop of the COVID-19 crisis. A comprehensive patient survey conducted prior to the pandemic revealed that over 20% of respondents reported experiencing food insecurity.

However, after implementing the USDA Household Food Security Survey, we uncovered an even more alarming reality—54% of our screened patients were identified as food insecure.

Our program was purposefully designed to address the immediate needs of our patients who were grappling with feeding themselves and their families. Moreover, it aimed to ensure that our patients had access to healthy food options crucial for managing their chronic conditions. We take immense pride in the remarkable growth and accomplishments of our program since its inception in 2020, and we are thrilled to share these transformative achievements with you in this comprehensive report.

Together, we are making a profound impact on the lives of our patients, tackling food insecurity, and empowering individuals to lead healthier, more vibrant lives.

Evaluation

● Food Voucher Program: Our transformative Food Voucher Program empowers enrolled patients with $40 per month in food vouchers to access fresh, nutritious essentials like fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and proteins at a local grocery store. With an impressive enrollment of 59 patients and a remarkable distribution of 2,673 vouchers since June 2020, we have witnessed an outstanding utilization rate of close to 85%.

● Bounty Box Program: Our Bounty Box Program serves as a lifeline for patients facing mobility or transportation challenges, as well as those at higher risk of contracting COVID-19 by visiting grocery stores. With utmost dedication, our compassionate volunteers deliver weekly boxes of fresh produce directly to the doorsteps of 39 enrolled patients. Since its inception in June 2020, we have proudly distributed 1,288 boxes of nourishing produce, ensuring that our patients have access to the vital nutrients they need to thrive.

● Food Pharmacy: Our groundbreaking Food Pharmacy program represents a significant milestone in our commitment to a "food as medicine" approach for managing chronic diseases.

Through the distribution of weekly healthy meal boxes, meticulously curated with wholesome grains, proteins, vegetables, and fruits, we empower our enrolled patients to take control of their health journey. Each box is accompanied by customized recipes and vital health information tailored to their specific chronic conditions, offering nutrition and education as key pillars of their self-care. With 35 patients currently benefiting from this program and a remarkable distribution of 1,568 boxes of nourishment since its launch in December 2020, we are revolutionizing the way chronic diseases are managed through the power of proper nutrition.

These impactful programs showcase our unwavering commitment to addressing food insecurity and promoting holistic health among our patients. Together, we are not only nourishing bodies but also transforming lives, fostering resilience, and creating a community built on wellness and well-being.

Together, we are making a profound impact on lives, one meal, one patient at a time.
