1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) established the new Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary program to improve roadway safety by supporting communities in developing comprehensive safety action plans based on a Safe System Approach, and implementing projects and strategies that significantly reduce or eliminate transportation-related fatalities and serious injuries involving pedestrians; bicyclists; public transportation, personal conveyance, and micromobility users, commercial vehicle operators; and motorists. This Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) document also serves as the SS4A Action Plan for the City of Commerce.
Overview
Section 24112 of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117–58, November 15, 2021; also referred to as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law” or “BIL”) authorized and appropriated $1 billion to be awarded by the Department of Transportation for FY 2022 for the SS4A grant program.
This report has been prepared per U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The general content of this SS4A Action Plan follows this outline:
● Leadership Commitment and Goal Setting
● Planning Structure
● Safety Analysis
● Engagement and Collaboration
● Equity Consideration
● Policy and Process Changes
● Strategy and Project Selections
● Progress and Transparency
As part of developing SS4A grant applications, the City of Commerce is required to submit a current LRSP, which the City recently adopted on September 2022. This LRSP will become the foundation for traffic safety guidelines moving forward, and the City of Commerce is committed to review these safety guidelines as outlined in the September 2022 LRSP annually. The LRSP fulfills the following purposes:
● Identify the highest occurring collision types and the roadway characteristics contributing to the collisions. ● Identify high-risk corridors and intersections.
● Propose safety countermeasures to address the safety issues. ● Prioritize safety improvement projects based on benefit/cost ratio and other considerations.
Prominent Collision Patterns
Five years of SWITRS collision records were utilized from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2021. The collisions were categorized by severity, collision type, Primary Collision Factor (PCF), involved parties, lighting conditions, and facility type (signalized intersections, non-signalized intersections, and mid-block locations). A total of 2,567 crashes were recorded from June 2016 to May 2021. The following summarizes the collision patterns within the City:
● The most common collision types were broadside, rear-end, and sideswipe. ● Bicycle- and pedestrian-related crashes accounted for approximately 2.3 percent of total collisions and 22.1 percent of KSI collisions.
● Sideswipe due to improper turning is one of the prominent collision patterns.
CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 7 Safety Measures
The following transportation safety emphasis areas were identified based on the collision data analysis:
Signalized Intersections
Bicyclists and Pedestrian Safety
Speeding
Visibility
The LRSP recommends engineering countermeasures derived based on the discussion with stakeholders and city staff, identified emphasis areas, and collision patterns. The emphasis areas were utilized to identify non-engineering programs. Several state and federal grant programs offer funds for non-engineering programs, such as:
Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Program (ATCMTD) Active Transportation Program (ATP)

INTRODUCTION
CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 9
2.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Commerce has retained KOA Corporation (KOA) to develop a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Plan based on the current LRSP. Traditionally, agencies have selected safety projects based on historical crash records, focusing on sites with a concentration of recent severe collisions. This report identifies the most common collision categories across a roadway network to target projects that address the factors associated with these categories. Systemic improvements target broader geography than the traditional spot location improvements. The systemic project selection favors the cost-effective countermeasures for implementation.
2.1 FIVE E'S OF SAFETY
This Plan provides a framework for reducing fatalities and severe injuries across all travel modes and on all public roads. The LRSP focuses on improving roadway safety with engineering improvements and non-engineering programs/campaigns. The plan utilized the following Five E’s: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Services, and Emerging Technologies. Working together with the Five E's at the city level will help make city roads safer.
2.2 PURPOSE OF THE LRSP/SS4A ACTION PLAN
The LRSP systematically identifies and analyzes safety problems and recommends safety improvements. The recommendations in the LRSP also considered the comments of stakeholders involved in the process. Stakeholders included the City's Public Works Department, Los Angeles County Fire Department, Montebello Unified School District and other city staff. The results of the LRSP are summarized with a prioritized list of improvements and actions. The LRSP offers a proactive approach to addressing roadway safety needs in Commerce.
2.3 CITY OF COMMERCE
The City of Commerce is a city located southeast of downtown Los Angeles. According to the American Community Survey, the 2019 5-year estimated population is 12,830 residents. Based on the SWITRS collision database, between June 2016 and May 2021, there were 2,567 collisions in Commerce, of which 41 resulted in fatal and severe injuries.
Figure 2.1 illustrates a map of the collisions citywide.

3.0 SAFETY ANALYSIS
3.1 METHODOLOGY
3.1.1 Collision Data Sources
The collision data drew from four sources. The collision trend data was derived between June 2016 and May 2021 from the (1) California Highway Patrol Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database; (2) University of California, Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS); (3) U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Fatality Analysis Reporting System, and (4) California Office of Traffic Safety Rankings (OTS). The OTS traffic safety data for Commerce compared it with 102 cities in California with a similar population.
California Highway Patrol Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) The California Highway Patrol's Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database collects and processes data on collisions throughout California. The online SWITRS application provides geographically- and temporally-targeted collision reports in an electronic format. The most recent five years of collision data from June 2016 to May 2021 were extracted to identify long–term collision trends and patterns within the City. The analysis is aggregated and classified by control type (signalized, non-signalized, and midblock locations).
University of California, Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) The TIMS database contains geocoded collisions included in the SWITRS database. TIMS geocodes SWITRS collisions that involve either an injury or fatality (i.e., excluding property damage-only collisions). Thus, TIMS provides local agencies with an efficient and straightforward tool to conduct geographic analysis.
U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS)
The Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) from the U.S. Department of Transportation is a nationwide census providing NHTSA, Congress and the American public yearly data regarding fatal injuries suffered in motor vehicle traffic crashes. FARS contains data on every fatal motor vehicle traffic crash within the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. To be included in FARS, a traffic crash must involve a motor vehicle traveling on a public traffic way that results in the death of a vehicle occupant or a nonoccupant within 30 days of the crash.
California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS)
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Rankings compare traffic safety statistics among cities in California with similar populations. The statistics focus on the victims killed and injured in crashes. Cities can use these comparisons to see the areas in which they underperform. In the OTS collision ranking system, Commerce belongs to Group E, containing 102 cities with a population between 10,001 and 25,000. The data is based on 2018 data from the OTS website.
CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 16
3.1.2 Identifying Locations For Engineering Countermeasures Crash data analysis for this LRSP/SS4A Action Plan was conducted using collision data from SWITRS. The collision records include a variety of information about each collision, including the location, date, time of the day, crash type, crash severity, primary violation category, transportation mode of the involved parties, and movement of the involved parties prior to the collision. Per California state law, motor vehicle collisions must be reported when vehicle or property damage exceeds $1,000, or when any parties suffer an injury or fatality. Collisions with no injured parties or little property damage might not be reported and, therefore, are not included in the collision database.
Caltrans' Local Roadway Safety, A Manual for California's Local Road Owners, Version 1.6, April 2022 (LRSM) encourages a proactive rather than reactive approach to safety issue identification. Traditionally, agencies using a reactive approach have located and implemented safety projects solely based on recent crashes, specific crash concentrations, or safety issues raised by stakeholders. According to the LRSM, a proactive approach is preferred.
With traditional methods, "crash concentrations and crash trends may be missed if local agencies rely exclusively on these identifiers for their roadway safety effort." A proactive approach would identify safety improvements by analyzing the safety of the entire roadway network. For this document, the process for identifying candidate locations for safety improvements considers any one of the following three factors:
● An extensive crash history at high-collision frequency locations provides insight into which roadway characteristics are associated with certain types of crashes ● Professional engineering judgment regarding the availability of feasible engineering countermeasures to fix the safety issues
● Applicability of the engineering countermeasures at other locations with similar roadway characteristics regardless of their crash history
The LRSM guidelines require analyzing at least three to five years of the most recent crash data. Five years' worth of collision data from June 2016 to May 2021 were reviewed for the Commerce LRSP. Five years of crash data usage adheres to the maximum threshold permitted by the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) for a safety infrastructure project application for federal funding.
Ranking Function
A candidate intersection or roadway segment for safety improvements does not necessarily need to demonstrate a history of high or severe collisions to be considered for further evaluation. However, locations with high numbers of collisions are often good starting points for safety analysis due to the rich information provided by the collision history. Two ranking methods were utilized to identify high collision frequency intersections and roadway segments:
Average Crash Frequency and Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) scores. A brief description on each of the methods is provided in the following sections.
Average Crash Frequency
The average Crash frequency is the most basic method for assessing collision incidence. The analysis tallies the number of collisions at each location in the system, both aggregate and by category of interest (e.g., level of severity, collision type, etc.). The analysis then ranks intersection or roadway segments based on the collisions' frequency. The method involves easy computation and little data collection. A collision database such as the SWITRS database usually suffices.
EPDO Scores
Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) scores are calculated by assigning weighted factors to collisions by severity relative to property damage only collisions. The weights generally reflect the order of magnitude difference CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 17 between the societal cost of fatal and severe injury collisions versus the non-severe injury collisions. Table 3.1 shows the weights by collision severity, based on the Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM), April 2022.
Table 3.1: Collision Weight by Severity
Collision Severity Location Type Crash Cost
Fatality and Severe Injury
Signalized
Intersection $1,787,000
Non Signalized
Intersection $2,843,000
Combined (KA) Roadway $2,461,000
Evident Injury – Other Visible (B) - $159,900
Possible Injury–Complaint of Pain (C) - $90,900
Property Damage Only (O) - $14,900
EPDO scores are helpful for a benefit-to-cost analysis as collision costs can be translated into measurable benefits from installing improvements that reduce the collisions in question. However, EPDO scores may place undue weight on the injury outcomes of previous collisions rather than overall trends suggested by collision patterns regardless of injury outcome. Furthermore, a location's EPDO score could be inflated by fatal or severe collisions.
3.1.3 Proposing Engineering Countermeasures
After ranking the intersections and roadway segments, the following steps were used to propose engineering countermeasures:
Make citywide collision maps for dominant collision types such as rear-end collisions, broadside collisions, bicycle and pedestrian collisions, and collisions due to unsafe speed. Identify high-risk locations by collision type.
Review crash details (party involved, movement before the crash, primary collision factor, violation code, time of the day, and others) at high-risk locations. Obtain detailed police reports from the City and review all the fatal and severe injury collisions.
Assess the nature of prevalent crash types based on the intersection's control type, geometrical features, and signal phasing/timing.
Review current conditions and recent historical conditions via Google Maps Street View, whenever necessary, to check whether any geometry, signal, or signage changes have been made in the past few years.
Evaluate and screen countermeasures from the LRSM or Crash Modification Factor (CMF) Clearinghouse (http://www.cmfclearinghouse.org/), a searchable database that can be easily queried to identify CMFs and Crash Reduction Factors (CRFs).
Identify intersections/roadway segments that do not demonstrate crash history but resemble other locations with documented crash history and risk factors. Once identified, these locations can be analyzed through the steps mentioned above.

3.2.1 Roadway Fatality Rate
Fatal Motor Vehicle Crashes
The count of motor-vehicle-involved roadway fatalities from 2016 to 2020 in the City of Commerce based on DOT’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) includes a total of 18 fatalities. Table 3.2 shows the yearly number of collisions by month from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020.
Table 3.2 Yearly Fatal Motor Vehicle Crashes by Month
Source: Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), 2016-2020 Fatality Rate
The fatality rate was calculated using a 5-year annual average from the total count of fatalities from 2016 to 2020 based on FARS data, which is divided by the population of the City based on 2019 ACS population. And the rate was then normalized to the number of fatalities per 100,000 population.
As shown in Table 3.3, the City had 12,830 residents in 2019, and 18 fatality collisions. During the same period, Los Angeles County had 10,081,570 residents and 3,543 fatality collisions. Commerce’s normalized fatality rate (28.06) were more than 21 points higher than Los Angeles County (7.03). Figure 3.1 illustrates the fatality rate for both the City of Commerce and Los Angeles County.

3.2.2 Preliminary Collision Analysis
Year Trend
The collision trend analysis draws from the five years of SWITRS data. From June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2021, a total of 2,567 collisions occurred on city roadways. Figure 3.2 shows the annual number of collisions from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2021. As shown in Figure 3.2 below, there was a peak in collisions in 2017, and as the years progressed, collisions declined. Note that 2016 and 2021 contain six months of collision data, not the entire year, and therefore, the data are less than the other years.
Figure 3.3 illustrates the collision severity by mode of transportation. The far-left chart depicts the severity of the total collision (all modes), followed by the breakdown of the transportation mode (e.g., vehicle, pedestrian, and bicyclist). Overall, the pedestrian-related (34.3%) and bicyclist-related (45.8%) severity collisions were associated with complaint of pain, except for vehicle-related collisions. Among the pedestrian-related collisions, fatal accounted for 5.7%, and severe injury accounted for 25.7%. About one-third (29.2%) of the bicycle collisions were associated with property damage only.

Figure 3.4 compares the percent of fatal and severe injury (KSI) collisions for each collision type with the total number of collisions for each type. The total number of collisions is categorized by collision type, as represented by the grey bars in the chart (see Y-Axis on the left side). Sideswipes accounted for the largest category, comprising
29.2% of total collisions. As shown in the chart below (Figure 3.4), both rear end (26% of total) and broadside (26% of total) crash types had the same number of collisions reported.
The green line in the chart shows the percentage of each collision type that resulted in fatalities or severe injuries (see the Y-Axis on the right side). The labeled percentages represent the KSI collision percentages of each collision type. For example, as high as 30% of the pedestrian-related collisions were KSI collisions, while 8.3% of the overturned collisions led to fatalities and severe injuries. In contrast, sideswipe and rear-end collisions were reported with less than one percent of fatal or seriously injured victims.

Primary Collision Factor (PCF)
Figure 3.5 summarizes the Primary Collision Factor (PCF) for all the collisions in the past five years. PCF is the leading cause of a collision based on the law enforcement officer's opinion who conducted the investigation. The blue bars on the left side represent total collisions, and the brown bars on the right side represents KSI collisions only.
SYSTEMIC SAFETY ANALYSIS – COLLISION TREND AND PATTERNS CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 22 As shown in Figure 3.5, improper turning (28.4%), unsafe speed (21.9%), and automobile right of way (14.3%) were the top three causes of all collisions. For KSI collisions, the top three were unsafe speed (30.8%), traffic signals and signs (23.1%), and improper turning (12.8%). Unsafe speed was the highest PCF (21.9%) and the highest cause of KSI collisions.
Note: The pedestrian right of way primary collision factor is a collision where a motorists did not yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing a roadway within a marked or unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, resulting in a collision.

Figure 3.7 summarizes the time of day a collision occurred in the past five years. Most of the collisions occurred in the afternoon, with 25.8% of collisions associated between 3 PM and 6 PM, followed by 17% of collisions between 12 PM and 3 PM. The highest number of KSI-related collisions occurred between 6 AM and 9 AM.

At-Fault Party
At-fault motorists in Commerce tended to be young males, as shown in Figure 3.8. Nearly 14.4% of motorists were in the 25-29 age group, followed by 14.2% in the 20-24 age group. This accounts for the largest share of at-fault motorists among any age group, with the number of at-fault motorists decreasing as the age group grows older. In most age groups, men accounted for the majority of collisions at fault. Note that some of the collision data is unknown in terms of gender and age.
Pedestrians are the most vulnerable roadway users, and they were involved in one-fourth of the KSI collisions.
Figure 3.9 shows the age group distribution of pedestrians involved in crashes from 2016 to 2021. The highest number of pedestrians were in the 50 to 54 year-old (13%) age groups.

3.2.2 Collisions By Facility Type
KOA analyzed collision patterns by facility type (intersections vs. midblock locations) using the most recent five years of collision data (from 6/1/2016 to 5/31/2021). This analysis illustrates the results by control type and the collision frequency. The analysis classifies collisions by facility type as follows:
Collisions that occurred within 250 feet of signalized intersections are considered signalized intersection collisions;
Collisions that occurred within 150 feet of non-signalized intersections are considered non-signalized intersection collisions; and
Collisions that occurred more than 250 feet away from any signalized intersection and more than 150 feet away from any non-signalized intersection are classified as mid-block collisions.
Table 3.4 shows the total number of crashes associated with each type of facility, and 58.82% of vehicle-related collisions occurred at signalized intersections, 21.23% of vehicle-related collisions occurred at non-signalized intersections, and 17.65% of vehicle-related collisions occurred at mid-block locations. Both bicycle and pedestrian collisions showed similar patterns, with most collisions occurring at signalized intersections, 0.39% were associated with bicycle collisions, and 0.62% were associated with pedestrian collisions.

3.2.4 City Of Commerce Vs. Cities Of Similar Sizes
Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) data were utilized to compare traffic safety problems of other cities with similarly sized populations. The rankings are calculated based on crash counts, population, and vehicle miles traveled, adding weights to different statistical categories, including observed. In the State of California's OTS Crash Ranking system, Commerce falls under Group E. This group consists of 102 cities in the state of California with a population between 10,001 and 25,000. Table 3.8 shows the City's 2018 crash ranking among the cities in Group E (1 being the highest or worst and 102 being the lowest or best). Overall, the City's traffic safety performance is average to good, with a few exceptions:
The City ranked 25th for killed or injured speed-related collisions The City ranked 30th for killed or injured nighttime (9 PM to 3 AM) collisions The City ranked 40th for killed or injured pedestrian collisions Table 3.8: 2018 OTS Data

5.0 EQUITY CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Historically Disadvantaged Communities (HDC)
The USDOT developed its own metric for determining which Census tracts can be considered a historically disadvantaged community. This USDOT metric combines multiple datasets from agencies such as CDC, US Census Bureau, and EPA to arrive at an aggregate score for individual Census tracts. This score is an aggregate of the following categories:
transportation access
health
environmental (pollution)
economic
resilience (vulnerability to climate change)
equity (high concentration of individuals who speak English “less than well”) According to the USDOT, disadvantaged Census tracts have scores exceeding the 50th percentile (75th percentile for resilience) in at least four of these individual categories.
The percentage of the population in the City that resides in Historically Disadvantaged Community Census tract is
99.9%, according to USDOT’s Data Hub and corresponding mapping tool. Figure 5.1 illustrates the City’s historically disadvantaged communities.

5.2 Area of Persistent Poverty (APP)
The USDOT offers an additional definition for disadvantaged communities: Areas of Persistent Poverty. This metric focuses solely on poverty rate, according to 2014-2018 American Community Survey 5-Year estimate data, where any Census tract with a poverty rate of at least 20 percent is considered an “area of persistent poverty,” and therefore, a disadvantaged community.
In the City of Commerce, one Census tract out of 3 Census tracts and 26% (3,350) of the City’s total population has poverty rate that meets the threshold for Area of Persistent Poverty. This includes the southeast portion of the City below Sycamore Street as shown in Figure 5.3.

6.0 POLICY AND PROCESS CHANGES
6.1 GENERAL PLAN
Alternative Modes of Travel
Commerce proposed alternative modes of transportation, which will reduce the community’s dependence on private vehicles as a means to travel to work and school. The use of alternative forms of transportation will also reduce traffic congestion during those periods when traffic is the heaviest. A list of policies related with the Action Plan is following:
Transportation Policy 3.4. The city of Commerce will promote the development of safe and convenient pedestrian access between residential neighborhoods and the parks and schools that serve those neighborhoods.
Transportation Policy 3.5. The city of Commerce will encourage the maintenance and improvement of “pedestrian-safe” oriented facilities to ensure safe pedestrian movement. Transportation Policy 3.6. The city of Commerce will establish bus shelters at heavily-used bus stops to increase public recognition and promote the use of the local and regional transit system.
Roadway Improvements
The City will continue to be proactive in the construction of roadway improvements to accommodate existing and projected traffic demand.
Transportation Policy 4.1. The city of Commerce will work with the Los Angeles County Public Works Department to establish a roadway and traffic safety inspection program.
6.2 BICYCLE FACILITY PLANS
Class I Bicycle Paths
There are 3 proposed Class I bicycle paths for the City. The longest one being along Edison Right-of-Way, traversing the entirety of the city north-south. Such a facility would require extensive coordination with Southern California Edison but also with some of the current right-of-way users, which include the Commerce Casino, Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway, and privately owned and operated nurseries. A bicycle path is also proposed along 26th Street, just west of the Commerce Metrolink Station. This facility would be located entirely within BNSF right-of-way, thus requiring extensive coordination with the agency. However, such a facility would provide a critical connection between the Metrolink Station and Eastern Avenue on the west end. Lastly, a short bicycle path is being proposed between Triggs Street and Astor Avenue. The facility would require the construction of a bridge but would be critical in connecting the isolated Bristow neighborhood to the Bandini neighborhood, all while avoiding the mixmaster intersection.
Class II Bicycle Lanes
The City’s Bicycle Facility Plan proposed installing Class II bicycle lanes along roadways where a reduction in vehicle lanes or on-street parking would not be required. This includes roadways such as Harbor Street (east of Eastern Avenue), Jillson Street, and Commerce Way, which can easily accommodate bicycle lanes. However, other streets such as Goodrich Boulevard and Randolph Street would require removing at least one travel lane in each direction.
Class III Bicycle Routes
Bicycle routes were only proposed where existing traffic volumes and vehicle speeds are low – typically focused CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 47 along residential streets and near schools.
Integration with Transit and Bicycle Hubs
The City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan has made sure to integrate into the Commerce Metrolink Station and the Montebello Metrolink Station, located east of the City. At the Commerce Station, the Plan is proposing that a bicycle hub be constructed, which will provide bicyclists with amenities such as short-term and long-term bicycle parking, bicycle repair amenities, and potentially showers and lockers. The types of amenities are dependent on the amount of activity a bicycle hub will see, but providing some of these would improve intermodal connectivity. As part of this Plan, bicycle hubs are also proposed at heavily used destinations, such as Rosewood Park, Veterans Park, and Commerce Center.
Bicycle Parking
In addition to providing connectivity, the Plan also gives amenities for bicyclists to safely secure their bicycles when not in use. The Plan provides recommendations, in addition to the bicycle hub locations, where such short-term parking can be installed and provided.
Proposed bicycle facilities are illustrated in Figure 6.1.

CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 48
6.3 PEDESTRIAN FACILITY PLANS
Currently, the City has an extensive supply of sidewalks along its major arterials and residential streets. As such, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan focused on the following:
Closing sidewalk/pedestrian facility gaps where they exist (such as where sidewalks or curb ramps are missing), Improving deficient facilities such as curb ramps, crosswalks, and poor street lighting Address pedestrian-vehicle conflict zones and improve pedestrian safety, such as adding curb extensions reducing turning radii at intersections, adding median islands, and other similar treatments Improve the pedestrian experience – through the installation of green alleys, pedestrian-scale lighting, and other greening
Traffic calming treatments on residential streets – such as diverters, speed humps, and other elements Improving connections through the addition of bridges and pedestrian paths to reduce exposure to fastmoving traffic and shorten travel distances The planned pedestrian facilities are illustrated in Figure 6.2.

7.0 STRATEGY AND PROJECT SELECTION
7.1 TRANSPORTATION SAFETY EMPHASIS AREAS
Transportation safety emphasis areas provide a strategic framework for developing and implementing the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP). The emphasis areas show the City of Commerce where to focus when developing projects and programs based on the LRSP. The implementation of the emphasis areas should directly relate to the goals, policies, and strategies of the LRSP. Based on the collision data analysis conducted for the City of Commerce, the following are the transportation safety emphasis areas:
Pedestrian Safety
Signalized Intersections
Rear Ends due to Unsafe Speed
Sideswipes due to Improper Turning
Pedestrian safety
The pedestrian safety emphasis area is where a pedestrian was involved in a collision with a motor vehicle.
Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users in the City of Commerce. Although pedestrian collisions only accounted for 1% of total collisions; however, pedestrians accounted for one of the highest frequencies of fatal or severe injury (KSI) collisions - 21% of total KSI. Most pedestrian-related collisions occurred at signalized intersections (46%). Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users because they do not have the same protection a driver in a vehicle has when involved in a collision.
Signalized Intersections
The signalized intersection emphasis area is an intersection with a traffic signal where a collision occurred. In the City of Commerce, signalized intersections are scattered throughout the City, along major primary and secondary roads. The results of the data analysis revealed that the top 10 intersections with the highest frequency of collisions all occurred at signalized intersections. Of the 2,567 collisions, more than half (59.8%) of collisions occurred at signalized intersections. Most collisions at signalized intersections were associated with vehicle-to-vehicle collisions (58.8%). Also, the signalized intersections contained the highest number of bicycle and pedestrian collisions.
Rear Ends due to Unsafe Speed
The rear ends due to unsafe speeding emphasis area where the driver at fault rear ends another vehicle due to unsafe speeding. Unsafe speeding was the second-highest primary collision factor (PCF), accounting for 21.9% of total collisions. However, unsafe speed was the highest frequency of fatal and severe injury (KSI) collisions, accounting for 30.8% of total collisions. Rear ends due to unsafe speeding primarily occurred at signalized intersections (65%).
Sideswipes due to Improper Turning
The sideswipes due to improper turning emphasis area is where the motorist made a turn without giving the appropriate signal, thus causing a collision. Improper turning was one of the top primary collision factors, accounting for 28.4% of total collisions. Of the 699 improper turning collisions, 351 resulted in sideswipes.
Sideswipes due to improper turning primarily occurred at signalized intersections (60%).
CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 51
7.2 ENGINEERING COUNTERMEASURES
The recommended engineering countermeasures were mainly data-driven based on the emphasis areas and collision patterns. The recommended countermeasures focus on the improvements in the four emphasis areas: (1) pedestrian safety; (2) signalized intersections; (3) rear ends due to unsafe speed; and (4) sideswipes due to improper turning. The following summarizes the improvements along with the collision patterns. A summary table of all the safety projects is in Appendix B.
The top three types of most frequently encountered collisions in Commerce were broadside, rear end, and sideswipe. The common causes of these three collision types and the typical safety countermeasures addressing each collision type are listed in Table 7.1.

The Crash Reduction Factor (CRF) listed in the Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) is directly connected to the Crash Modification Factor (CMF). A CRF is measured in the percentage of crash reduction expected after CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 52 implementing a given countermeasure at a specific location. It plays an essential role in cost-effectiveness, which is the form of the Benefit/Cost Ratio (BCR).
Table 7.2 summarizes the list of safety countermeasures included in the LRSM and applied to this project. The table summarizes each countermeasure's applicable crash types, CRF, project life of the recommended improvement, maximum federal reimbursement percentage, and the opportunity for a systemic approach.
The countermeasure numbers (far left column) in Table 7.2 represent the ID number for the types of improvements that are eligible for HSIP funding. Throughout this document, countermeasures eligible for HSIP funding will have the ID number, and those that are not eligible will not have an ID number.

7.2.1 Roadway Segments
Slauson Avenue From Greenwood Avenue To Telegraph Road
Slauson Avenue is a 0.4-mile long corridor that runs east-west from Greenwood Avenue to Telegraph Road. Slauson Avenue has three travel lanes in each direction, with left-turn lanes at the intersections. The posted speed limit on this segment is 45 mph.
CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 53 This roadway segment had 165 collisions from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2021. The top three collision patterns were sideswipe (34%), rear end (27%), and broadside (21%) collisions. Along this corridor, the primary collision factor includes improper turning (27%) and unsafe speed (18%). More than half of collisions on this segment occurred during the daytime (69%).
The recommendations for this roadway segment include the following:
● Install Signal Ahead signage with florescent sheeting at:
o Slauson Avenue and Telegraph Road (eastbound)
o Slauson Avenue and Gage Avenue (westbound)
o Slauson Avenue and Greenwood Avenue (northbound)
● Install dynamic speed warning signs at:
o Slauson Avenue near Todd Avenue (westbound)
o Slauson Avenue near the I-5 freeway bridge (eastbound) ● Restriping the light concrete section with contrast striping to enhance visibility on the travel lanes The improvement concepts are illustrated in Figure 7.1.
Figure 7.1: Concept for Slauson Avenue
Atlantic Boulevard From Telegraph Road To Washington Boulevard Atlantic Boulevard is a 0.7-mile long corridor with 2-3 travel lanes in each direction with a raised median. All intersections along this roadway have a dedicated left-turn lane. The posted speed limit of the entire corridor is 40 mph.
This roadway segment had 301 collisions. The collision types that occurred most frequently along this corridor were sideswipes (37%), rear ends (29%), and broadside (21%) collisions. The primary collision factors include improper turning (27%), unsafe speed (22%), and automobile right of way (9%). 74 percent of collisions occurred during the daytime.
The recommendations for this roadway segment include the following:
● Restriping the light concrete section with contrast striping to enhance visibility on the travel lanes The improvement concept is illustrated in Figure 7.2.
CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 54 Figure 7.2: Concept for Atlantic Boulevard
Eastern Avenue From Atlantic Boulevard To The South City Limit Eastern Avenue is a 0.91-mile long segment with 2-3 travel lanes in each direction. On-street parking is permitted in each direction from Atlantic Boulevard to Jillson Street. The posted speed limit on this segment is 40 mph. The I-5 freeway on/off ramps are located at the north end of the segment.
A total of 130 collisions occurred along this segment. Approximately 40% of collisions were sideswipe collisions. The second and third highest collision types were broadside (28%) and rear end (20%) collisions. The top primary collision factors were improper turning (28%), unsafe speed (15%), and automobile right of way (14%). The City had 24 bicycle-related collisions and mostly scattered throughout the City. The Eastern Avenue segment had three (3) bicycle collisions.
The recommendations for this roadway segment includes the following:
● Install Class II bike lanes (5 feet) from Atlantic Blvd to the South City Limit. The Class II bike lane would require narrowing the travel lanes. In areas where the roadway narrows, the bike lane is not recommended.
A bike lane between Harbor Street and the south city limit is also recommended in the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. A dedicated bike lane would provide a safer environment for bicyclists, separating them from vehicles. Also, the bike lanes would provide a sense of extra space between the sidewalk and vehicles, making it more comfortable for pedestrians utilizing the crosswalk. The concept is illustrated in Figure 7.3.
CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 55 Figure 7.3: Concept for Eastern Avenue
CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 56 Garfield Avenue From Malt Avenue To The South City Limit Garfield Avenue is a 1.8-mile long corridor with two travel lanes in each direction. Most of the segment has a raised median. The posted speed limit fluctuates from 25 mph to 40 mph along this corridor. North of Randolph Street, the posted speed limit is 40 mph and the posted speed limit decreases to 25 mph south of Randolph Street.
Garfield Avenue experienced a total of 278 collisions. Of those collisions, sideswipe (29%) collisions accounted for the most frequent collision type. Rear ends (27%) and broadside (25%) were the second and third most frequent collision type. Improper turning (24%), unsafe speed (21%), and automobile right of way (12%) were the top three primary collision factors. Three (3) out of the 278 collisions were bicycle-related.
A Class II bike lane is recommended from Malt Avenue to the South City Limit. A Class II bike lane is also recommended in the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan starting at Yates Avenue. Narrowing the travel lanes is required to accommodate the proposed Class II bike lane. In areas where the roadway narrows, the bike lane is not recommended. The concept is illustrated in Figure 7.4.

7.2.2 Intersections
Atlantic Boulevard/Telegraph Road/Triggs Street/Goodrich Boulevard/Ferguson Drive Atlantic Boulevard and Telegraph Road is a six-legged signalized intersection, known locally as the mixmaster. The north, east, south, and west approaches have a left turn lane. Triggs Street is a right-turn-only approach to the southbound direction of Atlantic Boulevard, where right-turn on red is prohibited and operates as an overlap phase.
Also, Goodrich Boulevard is a right-turn-only approach to the northbound direction of Atlantic Boulevard, yielding vehicles coming from Atlantic Boulevard. Marked crosswalks are generally provided at this intersection. The posted speed limit varies at each street intersecting the intersection. The posted speed limit is as follows:
Triggs Street: 30 mph
Goodrich Boulevard and Atlantic Boulevard: 35 mph
Ferguson Drive: 40 mph
Telegraph Road: 45 mph
CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 58 The data analysis revealed that 121 collisions occurred at this intersection. The top collision types were sideswipe (42.2%), rear end (29.8%), and broadside (14.9%). The primary collision factor at this intersection includes improper turning (37.2%), unsafe speed (25.6%), and unsafe lane change (9.9%). More than half of collisions occurred in the daytime (68%).
Considering most collisions occurred during the daytime, one of the recommendations for this intersection is to restripe the lanes with contrast striping only on the light concrete part of the roadway. This would provide better visibility of the travel lanes when the sun is directly hitting the road during the daytime. Appendix B contains the striping extent.
Additionally, advanced yield markings and a "right turn only" regulatory sign are recommended for the southbound approach on Goodrich Blvd in advance of the crosswalk. This intersection experiences multiple sideswipe collisions in the northbound direction. The recommendations also consider installing a larger, more detailed sign regarding lane destinations, with the lane assignment sign mounted on the overhead railroad bridge for the northbound traffic on Atlantic Boulevard. Lastly, high visibility crosswalks are recommended on all legs of the intersection. The concepts are illustrated in Figure 7.5.
Figure 7.5: Concept for Atlantic Boulevard & Telegraph Road CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 59 Telegraph Road And Washington Boulevard
Telegraph Road and Washington Boulevard is a four-legged signalized intersection. All approaches have a dedicated left-turn lane. The southbound approach on Telegraph Road has a channelized right-turn lane. All sides of the intersection have crosswalks. The speed limit is 40 mph along Washington Blvd and 45 mph along Telegraph Rd.
The intersection of Telegraph Road and Washington Boulevard experienced 82 collisions. The top collision type at this intersection was rear-end collisions (34.2%). Sideswipe (28.1%) and broadside (18.29%) collisions accounted for the second and third highest collision types. This intersection's top primary collision factors include unsafe speeding (22%) and improper turning (23.2%). Two (2) pedestrian-related collisions occurred in the east and west directions.
All collision types were considered when developing the recommendations for this location. Based on the existing geometric design configuration and travel pattern, consider installing high visibility crosswalks on all legs at this intersection. The recommended concept is illustrated in Figure 7.6.
Figure 7.6: Concept for Telegraph Road & Washington Boulevard CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 60 Eastern Avenue and Slauson Avenue
Eastern Avenue and Slauson Avenue is a four-legged signalized intersection with left-turn lanes in all directions. All legs have marked crosswalks and a center median. The posted speed limit along Eastern Ave is 40 mph and 45 mph along Slauson Ave. Protected left-turn phasing is provided on a pedestal pole on the raised median at this intersection.
The intersection had 90 collisions. The top collision types includes rear ends (34.4%), broadside (24.4%), and sideswipe (22.2%) collisions. The top primary collision factors were unsafe speeding (27.8%), improper turning (24.4%), and automobile right of way (12.2%). Pedestrian-related collisions were not reported at this intersection.
The existing protected left-turn signals mounted on the pedestal poles at each leg are recommended to be moved and replaced with a new mast arm to accommodate the left-turn phase signal head. This would provide better visibility of the signal when drivers approach the intersection. With better traffic signal visibility, drivers may slow down on time when approaching the left turn signal when it is red. Although there were no pedestrian collisions, high visibility crosswalks at all legs are also recommended. The concepts are illustrated in Figure 7.7.

Garfield Avenue and Washington Boulevard is a four-legged signalized intersection with left-turn lanes and protected left-turn phasing. Also, marked crosswalks and center medians are provided at the intersection. The posted speed limit on both roadways, Garfield Avenue and Washington Boulevard, are 40 mph.
This intersection experienced a total of 58 collisions. The top collision types were rear ends (34.5%), sideswipes (27.6%), and broadside (22.4%) collisions. The top primary collision factors were unsafe speed (24.1%), improper turning (20.7%), and traffic sign and signal violations (12.1%). More than half of collisions occurred during the daytime (62%). Two bicycle- and pedestrian-related collisions occurred at the intersection.
Considering most collisions occurred in the day, restriping with contrast striping on the light concrete section of the intersection is recommended. The contrast striping extent is measured from the center of the intersection to the end of the light concrete. The details of the contrast striping extents are summarized in Appendix B. High visibility crosswalks are also recommended at all legs of the intersection. Additionally, installing Traffic Signal Ahead warning sign on northbound Garfield Avenue is recommended since the top primary collision factor is unsafe speed. The concepts are illustrated in Figure 7.12.

7.2.3 Systemic Countermeasures
Signal Coordination
Unsafe speed was the second-highest primary collision factor citywide and the highest KSI frequency. Clusters of unsafe speeding collisions were identified citywide. Based on those clusters, four (4) roadway segments are recommended for improving signal coordination. Unsafe speeding often results in rear-end collisions. Consider improving the signal coordination to enhance traffic flow as it may help reduce speeding. However, further analysis of traffic impacts would be needed for the signal coordination analysis.
Signal coordination is recommended at the following locations:
Garfield Ave from Flotilla St to Randolph St (10 signalized intersections) Washington Blvd from I-5 On/Off ramp to Yates Ave (6 signalized intersections) Atlantic Blvd from Telegraph Rd to Sheila St (10 signalized intersections) Slauson Ave from Eastern Ave to Telegraph Rd (10 signalized intersections) Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI)
Pedestrians are the very vulnerable road users in the City of Commerce. Although pedestrian-involved collisions only
accounted for 30 out of the 2,567 collisions, pedestrians had one of the highest frequency of killed and severe injury (KSI) collisions.
To improve pedestrian safety, leading pedestrian intervals (LPI) are recommended at eight (8) signalized intersections. An LPI gives pedestrians a 3-7 second head start when crossing an intersection and enhances visibility of a pedestrian. Drivers are able to see the pedestrian crossing the street with the pedestrian head start.1
Locations with high numbers of pedestrian collisions were analyzed to identify LPI locations. All locations listed below had pedestrian collisions with the exception of Atlantic Boulevard & Harbor Street, Eastern Avenue & Harbor Street, and Atlantic Boulevard & Washington Boulevard, which were identified in the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Modify signal phasing to implement an LPI at the following locations:
Atlantic Blvd & Jardine St (eastbound/westbound)
Goodrich Blvd & Olympic Blvd (northbound/southbound)
Eastern Ave & Everington St (eastbound/westbound)
Fidelia Ave & Washington Blvd (northbound/southbound) Atlantic Blvd & Everington St (northbound/southbound) Atlantic Blvd & Harbor St (eastbound/westbound)

CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 71 Retro-reflective Backing Plates
Retro-reflective backing plates are recommended at 28 signalized intersections. The locations listed below were selected based on nighttime collision clusters across the City.
Retro-reflective backing plates improve the visibility of traffic signals in nighttime collisions. They also help color visiondeficient drivers to see whether the light is red or green when approaching an intersection.2 Color vision deficient people can typically not see the color red or green. Retro-reflective backing plates help them see whether the light is on at the top or bottom of the signal head.
Upgrade existing signals with retro-reflective backing plates at the following locations:

Nearside traffic signals improve traffic signal visibility as drivers approach an intersection. Violations of traffic signs and signals were revealed in the collision data analysis. Clusters of these collisions and the top intersections were analyzed to determine which locations would benefit from the additional signal head improvements. Locations for installing the
nearside traffic signals were data-driven based on traffic sign and signal violations.
Install nearside supplemental traffic signals at the following locations:
Eastern Ave & Slauson Ave (all approaches)
Greenwood Ave & Slauson Ave (all approaches)
Ferguson Dr & Garfield Ave (southbound approach)
Atlantic Blvd & Sheila Ave (northbound approach)
Atlantic Blvd & Telegraph Rd (northbound and southbound approaches) Additionally, some traffic signal heads appear to be smaller at intersections. Consider upgrading the 8" traffic signal head to the standard traffic signal head, 12". The standard size signal heads would make them more visible to drivers approaching the intersection. A total of 13 signalized locations were identified.
Upgrade existing traffic signal heads from 8" to 12" at the following locations:
Atlantic Blvd & Jardine St

Curb Extensions help improve pedestrian safety by shortening the pedestrian crossing distance. Curb extensions also help improve the visibility of pedestrians by aligning the curb to the parking lane, which typically blocks pedestrians.3 Locations with pedestrian collisions were analyzed to see if curb extensions are feasible. The three bolded locations listed below are the only data-driven locations. The rest of the locations are non-data driven, however, the entire list of locations below is in the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan recommendations.

7.3 NON-ENGINEERING SAFETY MEASURES
This section presents the non-infrastructure safety measures for the City of Commerce’s roadway safety needs. The program promotes safe behavior in each plan's identified transportation safety emphasis areas through education, law enforcement, and encouragement.
7.3.1 PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
As part of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan development, the City of Commerce focused efforts on improving walking and biking infrastructure for students attending Bandini Elementary and Rosewood Park School. The potential benefits of protecting the city’s most vulnerable population can reduce collisions in neighborhoods between students and motorists, lead to lifelong healthy habits amongst students, and increase overall walking and bicycling activity in the community. In order to gain input on the issues and concerns facing each school community, two bilingual walking safety assessments (WSA) took place, one at Bandini Elementary and the other at Rosewood Park School, on February 14, 2019 and February 27, 2019, respectively.4 The following summarizes the recommendations on education and enforcement programs with respective funding sources.
Education
Launch an education campaign for motorists on pedestrian rights. This can include:
Run a Go Human advertisement campaign5 to encourage drivers to watch for people walking and biking. This campaign would be at targeted locations with a history of pedestrian collisions. Advertising can be done with neighborhood lawn signs – residents can post these signs on their properties to urge drivers to slow down/stop for pedestrians
Incorporate pedestrian safety education into physical education classes in the Montebello Unified School District
Develop an education campaign for motorists on pedestrian rights and rules of the road. This can include:
o Advertising on the radio, streaming services (Pandora/Spotify), or social media o Distributing pamphlets or brochures in schools, parks, and other public places Enforcement
● Deploy targeted enforcement at locations with a history of bicycle and pedestrian collisions Funding Sources

7.3.4 IMPROPER TURNING
The improper turning emphasis area is where a vehicle turns left or right at an unsafe time or without giving the appropriate signal, thus causing a collision. Navigation software like Google Maps and Waze has encouraged drivers to use local routes involving non-signalized left-turns in recent years. Thus, the use of navigation software might explain the prevalence of improper turning collisions in the City of Commerce.
There are no existing education or enforcement programs to prevent improper turning or sideswipes in the city.
Most drivers are primarily informed about the rules of turning and the dangers of improper turning during their driver’s education program before getting their license. This emphasizes the need for additional, continued resources to ensure drivers stay up-to-date through education and enforcement.

7.3.5 SUMMARY OF FUNDING SOURCES
Several state and federal grant programs offer to fund engineering and non-engineering roadway safety projects.
The California Department of Transportation's (Caltrans) Active Transportation Program (ATP) aims to encourage bicycle and pedestrian use by funding programs that increase bike or pedestrian mode share or improve bicycle or pedestrian safety. Caltrans also administers the Sustainable Communities Grant Program, which awards grants to municipal projects that reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and support Multi-modal transportation. The Sustainable Communities Program prioritizes projects that solicit stakeholder and community engagement and support state policies like the 2040 California Transportation Plan. The California Office of Traffic Safety awards grants for projects addressing ten priority areas, including driving under the influence (DUI), distracted driving, pedestrian and bicycle safety, law enforcement, safety data collection, and marketing/publicity campaigns.
Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program funds to support planning, infrastructure, behavioral, and operational initiatives to prevent death and serious injury on roads and streets involving all roadway users, including pedestrians; bicyclists; public transportation, personal conveyance, and micromobility users; motorists; and commercial vehicle operators. The Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment Program funds technology to promote safety and efficiency in the transportation system at the federal level. The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds safety projects on any public roadway. The program mainly supports engineering projects, but the program's legislation permits funding for law enforcement and data collection efforts. Table 7.7 summarizes the funding opportunities for roadway safety programs and projects.

7.4 SAFETY PROJECTS
This section provides the project scope, collision reduction benefits calculation, cost estimation, and Benefit to Cost (B/C) ratio analysis. This section also discusses and summarizes the project prioritization.
7.3.1 Project Scopes And Benefit Calculations
The development of project scopes involves identifying one or more specific countermeasures at potential locations for safety improvements. Expected benefits are derived by applying the proposed countermeasures and corresponding Crash Reduction Factors (CRFs) to the expected crashes. This involves:
Identifying the current number of crashes without treatment Applying CRFs by type and severity
Applying a benefit value by crash severity
Calculating the annual collision reduction benefits and multiplying by the project life in years Caltrans has established some key requirements and procedures for its calls-for-projects to allow agencies maximum flexibility in combining countermeasures and locations into a single project while ensuring all projects can be consistently ranked statewide. These include:
Only a maximum of three individual countermeasures can be utilized in the B/C ratio for a project.
For a countermeasure to be utilized in the B/C ratio calculations, it must represent a minimum of 15 percent of the project's total construction cost. This is intended to ensure that minor and insignificant project elements are not misrepresented in the agency's major safety effort.
An engineer determining the benefits of newly installed infrastructure first determines the number of collisions with the potential to be prevented by the improvement. The engineer then applies the CRF, which gives the rough percentage of crashes that would be prevented. The next step in estimating the overall benefit of a proposed improvement project is multiplying the expected reduction in crashes by a generally accepted value for the "cost" of crashes. A project's expected "benefit" value is the expected "reduction in costs" value from reducing future crashes.
The cost source by collision severity level was taken from Appendix D of the Caltrans Local Roadway Safety Manual, as discussed in Section 3.2.
The final step in calculating the total safety project benefits is to divide the benefits by the number of years the collision data was collected (five years for this project) and multiply this value by the project life in years.
For this LRSP, instead of calculating project benefits manually, project benefits were derived from entering collision data directly into the HSIP Analyzer tool. The tool auto-calculates project collision reduction benefits based on the method discussed above and reduces benefits if more than one project is included due to cumulative effects.
The safety project scopes are listed in Table 7.8, including the applicable countermeasure category for each improvement and benefits calculated according to the method above.

7.3.2 Cost Estimate Cost estimates were developed for each countermeasure. Cost estimates were prepared based on recent bid tabulations and estimates of current construction costs consisting of unit-based cost estimates and contingencies. The costs include construction costs and engineering and administrative costs. A contingency is added to the construction cost of each project, depending on the complexity of the scope. The engineering and administration cost is assumed to be 30 percent of the total construction cost, including the contingency. The cost estimates are included in Appendix C.
7.3.3 Benefit/Cost Ratio A Benefit/Cost Ratio (BCR) is the ratio of a project’s benefits relative to its costs, and both are expressed in monetary terms. Projects with a higher BCR mean greater benefits relative to costs, while a lower BCR means fewer benefits relative to costs. Based on Caltrans's need for a fair, data-driven, statewide project selection process for HSIP call-for-projects, the benefit and cost calculations were completed using the same process shown in the HSIP Analyzer to calculate the B/C ratio of the project. The B/C ratios were used to identify the projects with high cost-effectiveness that may have a greater chance of receiving federal funding in Caltrans call-for-projects.
Table 7.9 summarizes the proposed safety projects with respective BCRs.
The detail of the safety project, including the BCR analysis summary table, is provided in Appendix D.

Some improvements have a BCR of zero due to no collisions associated with the improvement type. The calculated BCR for each project summarizes the cost-effectiveness of the 19 proposed safety projects without considering how the project would be funded.
7.3.4 Project Prioritization A prioritized list of safety projects for the HSIP application was identified. The B/C ratios may be used to identify the projects with high costeffectiveness that have the greatest chance of receiving federal funding in Caltrans call-for-projects. BCR is not the only guide to prioritizing and implementing a countermeasure. The safety project list will be used to reference which safety project to implement first. The implementation timeline will be dependent on the City's goals and funding eligibility. The City may choose to move forward with any of these safety projects in any order, depending on funding availability. If the applications are approved for funding, these projects should not be applied for future HSIP cycles. If the safety projects are not funded by the upcoming HSIP Cycle 11, then those projects could be considered for application from other funding sources. Because HSIP grants are competitive, it is typically appropriate to apply only for projects with a higher BCR. According to the HSIP grant application guidelines, a safety project needs to be at least $100,000 and a minimum of 3.5 BCR to submit an HSIP Cycle application. Considering the HSIP application, Table 7.10 summarizes the BCR CITY OF COMMERCE | LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN AND SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL ACTION PLAN 87 analysis for the safety projects. The safety projects are categorized by countermeasure ID and are prioritized by BCR. The City may use the list from Table 7.10 to determine which will be implemented based on the City's goals and funding availability. The City may also determine which project to be prioritized based on available funding sources, public support, and other factors.
