TASK 3: CITYWIDE SAFETY ANALYSIS
SAFETY ANALYSIS
Leveraging their deep local knowledge and
prior experience in developing the 2019
Hemet SSAR, STC will update the safety
analysis by evaluating existing conditions
and historical trends to establish a collision
baseline within the City. They will analyze
a period of five years (minimum) of recent
collision history within Hemet, using the
City’s preferred data source. Collision records
will be mapped and analyzed for various
factors, including but not limited to collision
severity, type, primary collision factor, location,
time, roadway user involvement, and highfrequency collision trends such as incidents near local schools and parks, involving
school-aged children, seniors, nighttime
collisions, and those related to alcohol or
drug impairment. The collision analysis will
help identify prevailing safety issues, high
collision locations, longitudinal trends and
determine if any roadway user groups are
disproportionately represented among the
collisions.
In addition, STC, in collaboration with CRA,
will attribute roadway characteristics to all
collision records to enable Systemic Collision
Analysis using available GIS data, recent aerial
imagery (Near Map and Google Earth), and
field verification. Examples of characteristics
to be collected may include traffic control
presence/type, crosswalk presence/type,
number of travel lanes, median presence/
type, traffic volumes, and posted speed limits.
This critical step will lay the groundwork for
the Systemic Collision Analysis.
SYSTEMIC COLLISION ANALYSIS
Systemic collision matrices will be developed
by CRA as a supplemental tool to understand
and visualize study area trends and patterns
for both intersection and midblock defined
collisions, to facilitate the identification of
citywide trends within each environment.
The matrices will provide for a truly systemic
analysis. This task will involve identifying
variables to represent the crash types or
behaviors contributing to the collisions (matrix
rows) and the roadway characteristics where
they occur (matrix columns), which will be
informed by the safety analysis previously
described. The matrix rows and columns
define the crash profiles and establish the
framework for identifying systemic issues and
improvements.
In addition, STC, in collaboration with CRA, will attribute roadway characteristics to all collision records to enable Systemic Collision Analysis using available GIS data, recent aerial imagery (Near Map and Google Earth), and field verification. Examples of characteristics to be collected may include traPic control presence/type, crosswalk presence/type, number of travel lanes, median presence/type, traPic volumes, and posted speed limits. Collision locations will be defined as intersection or the midblock according to data attributes, surrounding environment and judgement, which will assist in identifying high frequency collision locations, determining the safety issues, as well as countermeasures. This critical step will lay the groundwork for the Systemic Collision Analysis.

High-Injury Network Development
In recent years, federal and state agencies have encouraged practitioners to move beyond the isolated, spot-based approaches, advocating instead for network-level analyses of crash patterns and infrastructure characteristics to proactively recommend systemic improvements. CRA will consider various High-Injury Network (HIN) identification methodologies that we have utilized on other safety projects, and ultimately propose the most suitable approach for developing Hemet HIN.
CRA will identify the City’s HIN. HIN analysis will include, at a minimum, high-risk intersections and roadway segments; vulnerable roadway users; high frequency collision types and primary collision HIN identification methodology examples.

TASK 4: SCHOOL-FOCUSED MOBILITY
ASSESSMENTS
$ $
$
VALUE ADDED!
CRA proposes conducting School Mobility
Assessments for all public elementary, middle
and high schools within the City. This process
involves coordinating with the Hemet Unified
School District (HUSD) to obtain permission
for connecting with each school site. We will
then work with school principals to meet with
school leadership, observe pick-up/drop-off
routines, conduct public walk audits, and
confirm field conditions. Understanding that
parental perceptions of safety significantly
impact walking and bicycling habits, CRA
will gather insights from both parents and
administrators, including reports of “near
misses” and potential hazards. To capture this
information, we will administer a parent survey
and invite parents to participate in a walk
audit at each school site.
Each School Mobility Assessment will focus on
the area of the school enrollment boundary
within one-mile of the school by streetnetwork distance. The assessments will collect data on crossing guard locations, crosswalks,
stop controls, pedestrian ramps, and walking
and rolling barriers. This data will be overlaid
with broader datasets from Replica Big Data
and use the Riverside County Transportation
Model (RIVCOM) to analyze student
origins and destinations within each school
attendance boundary.
The outcome of this task will be an
individualized school profile with specific
recommendations designed to have the
greatest impact on youth, caregivers
(including seniors), and families. The School
Mobility Assessments will combine qualitative
information obtained from stakeholders
familiar with conditions at school with
our team’s analysis and data collection to
formulate recommendations supported by
each school site and the HUSD.
Deliverables: District Leadership

TASK 5: EQUITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT
CRA will analyze equity needs in the City,
including identifying where historically
disadvantaged groups, areas with persistent
poverty, rural regions, and those adversely
affected by inequality are most concentrated.
Our team will analyze data in accordance with
SS4A Equity Data Sources and the Justice40
Initiative to assess population characteristics
and inform initial equity impact assessments.
This will also guide stakeholder engagement

TASK 8: DEVELOP AND PRIORITIZE
PROJECTS
PROJECT PRIORITIZATION AND
PROJECT SHEETS
In consultation with City staff, CRA will make
recommendations throughout the City based
on the findings from the safety analysis
and countermeasure suitability, assemble
recommendations into project areas and
develop a prioritization process for ranking
projects. Potential prioritization criteria may
include variables such as HIN score, systemic
environment/injury collision history, equity
considerations, distance to schools, parks, and
transit stops, cost, ease of implementation,
public input, and alignment with grant criteria.
The criteria scoring and accumulated results
will be documented in tables and maps.
These resulting set of projects will be sorted
into phases, for near-term, mid-term, and
long-term implementation. Project sheets will
be developed for up to 20 highest ranked
projects. These projects may vary in scope
and could include systemic improvements,
area or neighborhood enhancements,
corridor upgrades, or standalone intersection
improvements.
Each project sheet will include:
Project description, including location,
limits, components, and potential
implementation obstacles

RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
City of Vista Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP), Vista, CA: Principal-in-Charge – CRA is currently leading the CSAP which is a traffic safety improvement plan developed within the framework and guidance of the U.S. Department of Transportation administered Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. The CSAP will ultimately recommend and prioritize infrastructural, behavioral, and/or operational safety projects, and enable the City eligibility to pursue SS4A funding. Project recommendations are informed by the study’s comprehensive analysis of collision data, stakeholder input, equity considerations, and various other implementation factors. The CSAP supports the City of Vista’s broader policy commitment toward reducing and eventually eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries.
La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP), San Diego County, CA: Principal-in-Charge – CRA is assisting the La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians to prepare a CSAP funded by the SS4A grant program. Discussions with tribal members and project stakeholders supplemented the collision analysis and review of roadway features to inform the identification of transportation safety issues facing residents and visitors to the reservation. Recommendations are being developed in consultation with stakeholders and tribal members to address the identified safety issues. The effort will result in a prioritized list of recommended safety improvements, supported by conceptual designs and cost estimates.

The CSAP will be used to pursue grant funding for transportation safety improvements on tribal lands.
City of San Diego Systematic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP), San Diego, CA: Project Manager – CRA worked with the City of San Diego to develop the region’s first Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program. The SSARP served to formalize a process for performing multimodal collision analyses to identify roadway network safety issues and recommend countermeasures. The project entailed conducting a detailed collision analysis coupled with roadway characteristic data collection at each location. This information was used to populate a matrix to identify potential trends and environmental characteristics that may influence collisions. A list of systemic, low-cost countermeasures was developed that can be applied to the varying roadway environments where deficiencies are identified. The SSARP information was recently utilized in the successful pursuit of $1.5 million in HSIP Cycle 9 grant funds to improve pedestrian safety at 60 locations citywide. This SSARP was the 2019 Vision Zero Award winner in the region.
LADOT Vision Zero 2017 Priority Corridors Technical Analysis, Los Angeles, CA: Project Manager – CRA prepared a Technical Analysis for 14 priority corridors in support of the City of Los Angeles’ 2017 Vision Zero initiative. The 14 priority corridors were gleaned from the City’s High Injury Network. The recommended safety improvements employ strategies such as reduction of travel or peak-hour lanes to accommodate alternative travel modes such as bus-only or bike lanes.
Other corridors received enhancement of on-street parking. Corridor-specific safety improvements were chosen based upon the highest degree of suitability for the individual roadway in question.
The report documents project impact significance, change in delay for motorists, and corridor travel time implications with project implementation.
City of Ontario Euclid Avenue (SR-83) Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP), Ontario, CA: Project Manager – The Euclid Avenue SSARP project provides an analysis of collision records along the nearly 5-mile long corridor in the City of Ontario. Multimodal counts were conducted to aid in the calculation of collision rates at intersections and segments and to better understand exposure. Safety improvements or countermeasures were proposed to address high collision locations or features throughout the corridor found to contribute to collisions. The data collection effort, analysis approach and findings, and resulting recommendations were compiled into a comprehensive Caltrans compliant report, that provides the City of Ontario with planned projects that will contribute to improved safety along the Euclid Avenue corridor.
Pedestrian Safety Study and Crosswalk Guidelines, City of San Diego, San Diego, CA:
Principal-in-Charge – This project provides a systematic approach to assessing varying roadway locations for the potential installation of marked crosswalks and additional pedestrian safety and traffic calming treatments. The analysis of 14 years of pedestrian collision data and the creation of a pedestrian risk model informed the development of an uncontrolled crossing location warrant system, crossing treatment thresholds and crossing treatment option tables. In addition to identifying potential infrastructural improvements, the Pedestrian Crosswalk Guidelines outline sample programs to help improve safety, including education, awareness and encouragement, and enforcement programs. The project resulted in an update to Council Policy 200-07, previously adopted in 1990. CRA and subconsultant SafeTREC received the Excellence in Safety Research for Active Living at the 2015 Active Living Research national conference for our work on this project.

Subject: Request for Proposals - City of Hemet Citywide Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan (Action Plan)
Dear Noah Rau,
The City of Hemet’s (City) decision to proceed with a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) is an important step towards improving roadway safety and a necessary step for eligibility of Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Implementation Grants. We would be honored to partner with you, and we are extremely qualified to do so for the following reasons:
• Data-driven, systemic safety approach – Our staff have been trained by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in the elements of a Comprehensive Action Plan and are leading efforts in California and beyond to support the transition to a more datadriven, systemic approach to safety. Proactive safety planning and context-based implementation is a critical approach to achieve meaningful improvements in safety.
• Feasible, fundable, locally-derived projects – While we thrive on analytics and the objective selection of countermeasures based on benefit-cost analysis, we also recognize that for projects to make a difference in safety they must reflect community values, address critical safety needs, and position the City for competitive funding awards. We have a strong track record of supporting our clients from the earliest planning stage all the way through grant writing, near- term quick build implementation, long-term design and construction support, and project evaluation.
• Recognized state and national experts – We created the award-winning Pedestrian Safety Assessment program now in use throughout California; teach multimodal safety and complete streets courses at the regional, state and national level; contributed to the development of a new Vision Zero resource co-released by the Vision Zero Network and the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE), “Core Elements for Vision Zero Communities;” and wrote ITE’s recommended practice on how to safely accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians where City streets meet freeway ramps. The knowledge our team has gained from these efforts positions us to efficiently assist the City with its goal of developing an Action Plan.

I, Steve Brown, will oversee the Action Plan as the project’s Principal-inCharge, leveraging my thirty-five years of experience on similar safety projects including Safety Plans for Montclair, Hermosa Beach, San Jacinto, Vista, and Lake Elsinore.
Our proposed Project Manager, Diwu Zhou, is a Licensed Professional Civil Engineer and registered Roadway Safety Professional with nearly ten years of experience, a key member in the Fehr & Peers Multimodal Safety Initiative and serves as the Vice-Chair of the ITE Transportation Safety Council. He is an author for the recently published ITE Technical Brief, “Applications of Big Data in Safety Analysis”, and an instructor for ITE’s Safe System Approach certification course. He brings the critical blend of safety efficacy knowledge, operations analysis skills, and design and implementation experience.
We hope this proposal illustrates our genuine interest in this project, our strong qualifications to successfully execute it, and our commitment to improving communities through critical safety work. Fehr & Peers also has an existing business license from the City of Hemet.
Please contact me at (949) 308-6321 should you have any questions or would like to discuss our submission further.
Sincerely,
FEHR & PEERS

Fehr & Peers believes that all persons are entitled to equal employment opportunity and does not discriminate against employees or applicants because of race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, mental or physical disability, pregnancy, medical condition, marital status, sexual orientation, or other categories defined by Federal, State, or Local Law. Because we accept, support, and practice the principles of non-discrimination, we extend this belief to all areas of employment, including recruitment, hiring, training, education, tuition assistance, classification, promotion, demotion, discipline, transfer, layoff, return from layoff, termination, compensation, benefits, and social and recreational programs. At Fehr & Peers, equal employment opportunity is not only a legal principle, but a moral commitment as well.
Fehr & Peers believes that all persons are entitled to equal employment opportunity and does not discriminate against employees or applicants because of race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital or parental status, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, genetic information, political affiliation, military service (or other categories defined by federal, state, or local law. Because we accept, support and practice the principles of non-discrimination, this policy applies to all areas of employment, including recruitment, hiring, training, classification, promotion, demotion, discipline, transfer, layoff, return from layoff, termination, compensation, and benefits.
It is the intention of Fehr & Peers to take positive and affirmative measures to advance the employment opportunities of women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and protected veterans. We are committed to their protection and advancement, and our overall goal is to increase the representation of women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and protected veterans within all levels of the Company to a level comparable to their representation in the relevant labor force.
To enhance diversity at Fehr & Peers, we participate in a variety of diversity-focused outreach efforts. On a monthly basis, we list our entry-level and internship job postings at diversity-focused universities with transportation programs.
We post entry-level openings at least twice yearly with minority-focused industry organizations. A Diversity Recruiting Focus Group, comprised of staff throughout the firm, works together to enhance diversity and inclusion at Fehr & Peers through focused recruiting efforts.
Fehr & Peers has developed and implements an annual Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) that further supports our commitment to equal employment opportunity and meeting federal requirements. The AAP includes an analysis of areas within the organization where we may be deficient in the utilization of minority groups and/or women and further establishes goals and timetables to which we will apply our good faith efforts to correcting any found deficiencies.

We would like to request the following contract conditions:
1. METHOD OF PAYMENT AND INVOICING. Section 5(c)
Changes Requested: “Except as to any charges for work performed or expenses incurred by Consultant which are reasonably disputed by City, City will use its best efforts to cause Consultant to be paid pay Consultant within thirty (30) forty-five (45) days of receipt of Consultant’s correct and undisputed invoice.” Reasons for Changes: A thirty-day payment period is standard. Furthermore, the consideration to be provided by the City that makes this a valid, binding contract is payment for the Consultant’s services. A mere promise to use “best efforts” to pay the Consultant does not constitute valid contractual consideration.
2. INSPECTION AND FINAL ACCEPTANCE. Section 6
Changes Requested: “City may inspect and accept or reject any of Consultant’s work under this Agreement, either during performance or when completed, provided, however, City’s acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, and City shall only reject Consultant’s work if the work is defective or not in conformance with the requirements of this Agreement. City shall reject or finally accept Consultant’s work within sixty (60) days after submitted to City. City shall reject work by a timely written explanation, otherwise, Consultant’s work shall be deemed to have been accepted.
City’s acceptance shall be conclusive as to such work except with respect to latent defects, fraud, and such gross mistakes as amount to fraud. Acceptance of any of Consultant’s work by City shall not constitute a waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, Section 17 “Indemnification” and Section 18 “Insurance.” Reason for Changes: The City should only reject the Consultant’s work if it has reasonable grounds for doing so.

3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ASSIGNMENT. Section 8
Changes Requested: “For no additional compensation, Consultant hereby assigns to City all of Consultant’s rights, title, and interest in and to the content of all deliverable materials created by Consultant or its employees, agents, or sub consultants, including copyrights, in connection with the Services performed under this Agreement. Consultant shall promptly execute and deliver and shall cause its employees, agents, and sub consultants to promptly execute and deliver, upon reasonable request by the City or any of its successors or assigns at any time and without further compensation of any kind, any power of attorney, assignment, application for copyright, patent, trademark or other intellectual property right protection, or other papers or instruments which may be reasonably necessary or desirable to fully secure, perfect or otherwise protect to or for the City, its successors, and assigns, all right, title and interest in and to the content of the deliverable materials. For purposes of this section deliverable materials include all works, tangible or not, created under this Agreement including, without limitation, documents, material, data, reports, manuals, specifications, artwork, drawings, sketches, computer programs and databases, schematics, photographs, video and audiovisual recordings, sound recordings, marks, logos, graphic designs, notes, website, domain names, inventions, processes, formulas matters and combinations thereof, and all forms of intellectual property. The provisions of this paragraph are binding on the successors, assigns and heirs of Consultant and shall survive the termination of Consultant’s Services under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any provision to the contrary herein, intellectual property owned or created by any third party other than Consultant, its subconsultants, or City (“Third-Party Content”), and inventions, improvements, discoveries, methodologies, models, formats, software, algorithms, processes, procedures, designs, specifications, findings, and other intellectual properties developed, gathered, compiled or produced by Consultant or its subconsultants prior to or independently of their performance of this Agreement (“Background IP”), including such Third-Party Content or Background IP that Consultant or its subconsultants may employ in their performance of this Agreement, or may incorporate into any part of the deliverable materials, shall not be the property of City. Consultant, or its subconsultants as applicable, shall retain all rights, titles, and interests, including but not limited to all ownership and intellectual property rights, in all such Background IP.
Consultant, and its subconsultants as applicable, grant City an irrevocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royaltyfree license in perpetuity to use, reproduce, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, disclose, derive from, perform, and display such Background IP, but only as an inseparable part of, and only for the purpose intended by creation of, the deliverable materials. In the event the deliverable materials contain, or incorporate, any Third-Party Content, or derivative work based on such Third-Party Content, or any compilation that includes such Third-Party Content, Consultant shall secure all licenses to any such Third-Party Content, but only as an inseparable part of the deliverable materials, where such licenses are necessary for City to utilize and enjoy Consultant’s Services and deliverable materials for their intended purposes. Any use of Consultant’s deliverable materials for any other project or purpose not authorized in writing by Consultant, any modifications to the deliverable materials made by anyone other than Consultant, and any use of incomplete deliverable materials (“Unauthorized Uses”) shall be at City’s sole risk, and Consultant shall bear no liability for City’s Unauthorized Uses of the deliverable materials. The City agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Consultant and its officers, agents and employees harmless from any claims, losses, damages, costs, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, arising out of any such Unauthorized Uses of the deliverable materials by City.”
Reason for Changes: First, we may use or integrate some of our own pre-existing intellectual properties into our work product, which we believe will enhance our services and further the goals of our clients’ projects. However, we cannot take the risk of losing our rights to our intellectual properties. The only alternative would be to not use any of them.
Second, we may have to use third-party content, such as big data provided by third-party data providers, for which we may receive only a limited-use license and not ownership. It is often necessary for such third-party providers to retain ownership of such data for the uses of other clients or purposes. In such cases, we will secure a license for the City to such content if it is incorporated into our deliverables. *Introductory Letter not included in page limit Page 87 of 495

4. STANDARD OF PERFORMANCE. Section 11
Changes Requested: “Consultant represents and warrants that it has the qualifications, experience and facilities necessary to properly perform the Services required under this Agreement in a thorough, competent and professional manner. Consultant shall at all times faithfully, competently and to the best of its ability, experience and talent, perform all Services. In meeting its obligations under this Agreement, Consultant shall employ, at a minimum, generally accepted standards and practices the care, skill, and diligence ordinarily utilized by persons engaged in providing services similar to the Services required of Consultant under this Agreement and under similar circumstances to that of Consultant under this Agreement. In addition to the general standards of performance set forth this section, additional specific standards of performance and performance criteria may be set forth in Exhibit “A” “Scope of Work” that shall also be applicable to Consultant’s work under this Agreement. Where there is a conflict between a general and a specific standard of performance or performance criteria, the specific standard or criteria shall prevail over the general.”
Reason for Changes: The definition of the applicable prevailing professional standard of care is clear in California:
A professional is to exercise the degree of skill, knowledge, and diligence that other professionals in similar circumstances commonly use. The standard is not that of “first class” professionals, or professionals of the highest standard. (See, Gagne v. Bertran (1954) 43 Cal.2d 481.) We cannot agree to any language that might be interpreted as requiring us to exceed what is commonly exercised. The phrase “at a minimum” creates a heightened, elevated standard of care.
5. INDEMNIFICATION. Section 17(a)
Changes Requested: “To the fullest extent permitted by law, Consultant shall indemnify, protect, defend (with legal counsel reasonably selected by the City) and hold harmless City and any and all of its elected and appointed officials, officers, and employees, representatives and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions and proceedings (whether at law or equity, administrative or judicial), demands, orders, judgments, losses, injuries (including, without limitation, injury to or death of an employee of Consultant or sub consultants), liabilities of every kind (including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, court costs, and litigation expenses, and fees of expert consultants or expert witnesses incurred in connection therewith and cost of investigation), damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, (collectively “Claims”) that to the extent such Claims arise out of, pertain to, or relate to, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, the negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct in the performance of Services by Consultant, its officers, agents, employees, representatives, sub consultants, anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them, or anyone that they control.
Consultant’s duty to indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless Indemnified Parties, shall not include any Claims arising from to the extent caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties.” Reason for Changes: The Consultant awarded this Agreement will be performing transportation engineering services.
The changes are to align Section 17(a) with the requirements and limitations found in Civ. Code section 2782.8. *Introductory Letter not included in page limit Page 88 of 495

Project Duration: 2023-2024
Contract Value: $79,980.00
Current Status: Completed
Fehr & Peers developed a Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP)
for the City of Lake Elsinore that satisfies the federal requirements of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. In
addition to a data driven safety analysis, the updated plan included community engagement, equity considerations
and evaluation of underserved communities, and the
establishment of a vision zero goal. Development of
the LRSP incorporated input from a multi-disciplinary
stakeholder group facilitated by Fehr & Peers and from
street-based outreach efforts which included discussions with local business owners and unhoused community
members. The draft plan was recently completed
and qualified the City of Lake Elsinore for future HSIP funding cycles and Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Implementation Grant funding. Fehr & Peers prepared
two HSIP Cycle 12 grant applications for the City of
Lake Elsinore in 2024, both of which proposed systemic
improvements.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Duration: 2022
Contract Value: $200,000
Current Status: Completed
Fehr & Peers developed a Local Road Safety Plan
(LRSP) focused on County maintained roadways within
unincorporated San Bernardino County. This Local
Road Safety Plan applied a dual-pronged approach: 1)
identifying priority systemic safety improvement projects based on high-risk roadway features that are correlated with fatal and severe collision types, and 2) reviewing collision trends to develop behavioral countermeasures.
This project incorporated the safe system approach,
shifting from the traditional goal to reduce overall vehicle collisions towards the goal of reducing overall kinetic energy transfer at impact, thereby reducing the number
of fatal and severe collisions. The plan incorporated input from a multi-disciplinary stakeholder group facilitated by Fehr & Peers. Strategies included roadway design
projects, education programs, and enforcement
efforts, based on safety efficacy research and equity
best practices. Through this plan, Fehr & Peers
developed six HSIP grant applications for the County
under a constrained timeline, and helped the County
secured 10 million dollars in funding for project
implementation.

Current Status: Completed
CPOG supported SBCOG to support a public relations
campaign to inform member jurisdictions about raising
dues. The campaign sought to provide context, explain
why a raise in membership dues should be considered,
and introduce the formula to raise membership dues.
SBCOG had a deadline of early January 2024 to present
at the first SBCTA/SBCOG Board meeting of the year.
CPOG began the campaign work in early December
2023. Given the abbreviated schedule that spanned the
year-end holiday season, CPOG met internally to review
staff workload and availability to ensure CPOG could
accommodate the agency’s tight turnaround.CPOG’s
deliverables included creating PowerPoint presentations for the 24 member jurisdictions and the SBCTA/SBCOG
Board of Directors, videos highlighting four agency
programs, updates to the agency website, an ArcGIS
StoryMap, social media content, and fact sheets uniquely tailored for each member jurisdiction. CPOG performed
research that included review of the agency website and existing program and Board recording videos. CPOG
coordinated the production of the four impactful videos for SBCOG, handling everything from the scripts to
dignitary interview coordination. For the social media
campaign, CPOG developed a comprehensive strategy
that highlighted SBCOG’s key programs and regional
impact, as well as the assets and copy for the campaign.

Current Status: Completed
To reduce pedestrian and bicycle collisions, while
increasing levels of walking and biking in Southern CA, SCAG initiated a safety and encouragement campaign
as part of its regional active transportation program.
The objectives of the campaign were straightforward:
1) educate all roadway users on the rules of the road; 2) encourage more people to bike/walk through education;
3) increase public awareness and support for active
transportation as a mode of transportation; and 4)
build a regional partnership between transportation
agencies, health departments, local agencies, nonprofits, and private sector partners to cost effectively expand the reach of the campaign. CPOG developed
and implemented the Targeted Trainings and Toolkit,
and established and facilitated six user group panels.
The user group panels included four key constituencies:
elected officials, employers, community organizations,
and transportation/public health professionals
throughout the SCAG region – Imperial, Riverside, San
Bernardino, Orange, Los Angeles, and Ventura counties.
To ensure that local champions from each of the SCAG
counties were included, CPOG developed a database of
key stakeholders and implemented various options for
participating in the panels given the geographic reach
of the SCAG region. CPOG also developed strategies,
messaging, and materials for the panels; identified
partners to serve as “train the trainer”; developed
fact sheets, maps, “how to” guides, and presentation
materials; and assisted with conducting workshops.

16 Description of Services
16.C.
17 Fehr & Peers is excited for the opportunity to support the City of Hemet in its commitment to improving roadway safety. The Action Plan will apply a systemic safety approach to identify transportation features correlated with collisions, engage stakeholders to understand the needs of the community, and create strategies to implement safe designs that are effective and equitable to all road users. Additionally, the Action Plan will conceptualize safety improvements to enable Hemet in the pursuit of grant funding opportunities for safety related projects and identify non-infrastructure solutions to address issues in behaviors leading to collisions.
SS4A Compliance
We understand that the City of Hemet is seeking consultant support to establish an SS4A-compliant action plan. Fehr & Peers currently has 15 SS4A Action Plans underway, including some of the first Action Plans to be completed with SS4A grant dollars. This experience provides us with a very thorough understanding of SS4A program requirements and best practices, and we can leverage this collective experience to create a streamlined, compliant document for Hemet that we know will meet SS4A requirements.
Key CSAP components include:
• Leadership Commitment and Goal Setting: Action Plans should include official public commitment to an eventual goal of zero roadway fatalities and severe injuries. Collaborative goal setting will be part of the agenda for stakeholder group meeting #1. • Safety Analysis: Analysis should include existing conditions and historical trends; analysis of locations where there are severe crashes, and systemic analysis of road features. Our threepronged analysis approach in Task 2.2 covers these components. • Equity Considerations: As defined by the USDOT Justice 40 program, there are opportunities to examine equity through several lenses locally. As part of our analysis in Task 2.2, we will look at the demographics of people involved in collisions, and the impact on vulnerable road users.
• Policy and Process: Task 2.4 will examine both non-engineering countermeasures, as well as policy and process opportunities for Hemet to integrate the Safe System Approach.
• Progress and Transparency: Recommendations for tracking progress on safety action items over time will be included in the final CSAP.
UNDERSTANDING OF SCOPE OF PROJECT
The Safe System Approach
Fehr & Peers staff on this project
helped FHWA develop their educational
materials on the Safe System Approach,
and have helped jurisdictions integrate
the approach, underlying both the
federal and state roadway safety
programs, into local safety planning
efforts. We propose building this
CSAP on the Safe System Approach
to align with the SS4A program.

18 Grant-Ready Projects
We are in the midst of an unprecedented amount of grant funding available for safety-related transportation projects. Our proposed scope will get the City to a list of projects that have the stakeholder and community support, along with the technical analysis, needed to seek grant funding for additional planning and implementation.
Specifically, the Action Plan can provide the City with the opportunity to accomplish the following:
• Incorporate recently available collision data to identify new and emerging safety trends,
• Build a culture of safety and safety champions within the City, and • Integrate the Safe System framework with equity as a core consideration with a focus on impact to underserved communities, and
• Create organizational capacity as well as agency partnerships serving as stewards and facilitating implementation
The primary goal of this Action Plan is to establish a comprehensive strategy aimed at preventing roadway fatalities and serious injuries throughout the City. Our approach is designed not only to meet the plan’s requirements and position the City for future grant funding opportunities but also to maximize the use of the current funds awarded through optional tasks. The City's total available budget for this project is $640,000 and local funds match is $160,000. Due to budget constraints, both optional tasks cannot be incorporated into the core scope without exceeding this allocation.
We are dedicated to collaborating with the City to determine which, if any, of these optional tasks would offer the greatest value in supporting the City's safety objectives. These optional tasks go beyond the requirements of the SS4A grant, and Fehr & Peers will work closely with the City to prioritize those that provide the highest benefit for Hemet.

19 Work Plan
TASK 1.1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Fehr & Peers will be responsible for project management, including overall technical quality of the work and meeting project schedules, our project manager (PM) will serve as the main point of contact. Our management structure focuses on open lines of communication and an open-door policy, allowing for regular access to the most appropriate technical minds for the task.
Fehr & Peers will prepare a detailed schedule with project delivery dates and preliminary target dates for all meetings, public engagement efforts, and work closely with the City PM to advance the project. We will prepare monthly invoices and progress reports for submittal to the City. The invoices will include staff hours, rates, and dates of work along with progress report notes identifying what was completed during the invoicing period. Fehr & Peers accounting practices ensure close monitoring of deliverables to ensure that milestones are met within the committed timeframe and budget. In the event we anticipate a delay or potential cost overrun, we will prepare a recovery plan and submit it with the invoice.
TASK 1.2: PROJECT MANAGER MEETINGS
Throughout the Project, we anticipate regular (monthly) coordination between our project management staff (PM/DPM) and the City PM. Fehr & Peers will schedule monthly video conference PM status meetings, which will allow for screen-sharing and notes to be recorded in real-time. We will prepare and share all agendas and presentation materials with the City PM at least five days in advance of each meeting. Meeting notes will be drafted and shared with the City PM on the next business day, and will included clear action items.
TASK 1.3: PROJECT KICKOFF MEETING
Fehr & Peers will organize and facilitate a kickoff meeting with City staff.
We will prepare and share an agenda with the City PM at least five days in advance of the Kickoff Meeting. We expect the meeting to include discussion of the project background, goals, schedule, and introduction of key stakeholders. The kickoff meeting will aim to align the project's vision, goals, and objectives with the City's expectations and to establish a clear roadmap for successful project execution. During the meeting, participants will establish communication protocols, meeting frequency, file sharing procedures, mechanisms for progress reporting, invoicing, and other pertinent procedures.
A summary of the kickoff meeting will be prepared to identify key action items.
Task 1 Deliverables:
• Project Schedule
• Kickoff meeting (agenda, attendance, and meeting notes) • Monthly coordination calls with City PM
• Monthly invoicing and progress reporting
Task 1.
Project Management
& Coordination
Success Under Constrained Schedules
Fehr & Peers has a track
record of delivering results and
recommendations from complex
analysis under schedule constraints.
Most recently, we worked with San
Bernardino County to develop a
complete Local Road Safety Plan
and six HSIP applications (including
systemic applications for 50+
locations) within eight months, a
schedule driven by the HSIP deadline.
While development of a robust
safety plan for the nation's largest
county was daunting, our continued
investment in the development of
safety analysis tools and processes
allowed for an efficient process,
complete with robust stakeholder
engagement, real-time collaboration
with County staff, development of
an online data dashboard, systemic
analysis, and big data sources.
With Diwu and Sean in leadership
positions, this project was completed
on time and within budget.

20 TASK 2.1: COORDINATION WITH THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE
It is anticipated that the County of Riverside would participate in the Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) described below in task 2.2. In addition to participation in these meetings, specific coordination meetings with County of Riverside staff will be scheduled throughout the project to ensure the data collection, research, analysis, development of recommends, and community outreach are all performed in alignment and cooperation with the County. Our scope includes twelve (12) coordination meetings with County of Riverside to ensure frequent and ample communication and cooperation between the consultant team, City staff, and County staff.
TASK 2.2: ESTABLISH STAKEHOLDER WORKING GROUP (SWG)
Fehr & Peers will collaborate with City staff to identify relevant stakeholders of the community to establish a Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) including businesses, local and regional transportation agencies (RCTC and Caltrans), emergency services departments (Police, Fire, etc.), representatives of the business community, school district (HUSD), and community groups. The purpose of their engagement is to obtain a wide variety of input and to capture the range of needs of the community.
In meetings with the SWG described in task 3.2, the Project team will work with community members to listen, inform, and educate.
TASK 2.3: STAKEHOLDER WORKING GROUP MEETINGS
Fehr & Peers will organize and conduct a total of four (4) SWG meetings in the process of developing the Action Plan with the following objectives.
Meeting 1 – Introductory meeting to help SWG members understand the scope of an Action Plan, collaborate to define objectives and ideal outcomes, explain the process of developing a comprehensive plan, and discuss focus areas. (This meeting should take place after task 2.1)
Meeting 2 – Meeting to contextualize findings of the analysis in task 2.2 by providing members of the SWG insight to significant trends or hotspots of collisions, document needs based on the results of the analysis, identify safety focus areas, and collaborate to develop effective and measurable strategies to address community needs related to safety.

21 TASK 2.4: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PLAN AND ACTIVITIES
In coordination with City staff, CPOG will develop an Community Engagement Plan (CEP) outlining strategies and tactics to solicit feedback from the community while providing emphasis on input from disadvantaged community members. CPOG will prepare a draft plan for city staff review and comment and finalize and implement the plan. The plan will also detail meeting elements including format, topics to be covered, strategy for publicizing the meetings such as social media, public events, and digital engagement, costs of the outreach strategy, suggested dates and duration for the meetings, points of contact for each meeting, and method for collecting feedback.
CPOG will work with the team to host up to three community meetings:
1. In-person stakeholder meeting to include residents and property owners to collect data
2. Virtual stakeholder meeting to include residents and property owners to collect data
3. Stakeholder meeting to share findings and discuss potential solutions with property owners, patrons, community members, and city officials
For each meeting/workshop, CPOG will invite community members through storefronts (QR code), take home flyers at businesses and restaurants (or QR code), posts on the city’s website and social media, and partnerships with local community groups and faith-based organizations.
• Develop all agendas and sign-in sheets.
• Document each meeting including attendance and photos for documentation, and prepare a summary report of each meeting documenting ideas, and both verbal and written comments. • Provide reports to team and city staff.
CPOG will develop a survey that can be accessed from the city’s website and CPOG will host up to four booths at city-sponsored functions including recreational events/activity centers to engage the community to take the survey. In addition, CPOG will work with the team to develop and execute a direct mail campaign to key stakeholders and disadvantaged communities to provide an outline of topics to be covered at the stakeholder holder meetings, a comprehensive list of dates and locations of the meetings, and providing a QR code to provide input virtually if desired.

22 TASK 3.1: RESEARCH
Fehr & Peers will gather and compile records, available data, and characteristics pertinent to the City's roadways and Active Transportation network. This task will involve collecting information including roadway volume, cross sections, speed limits, intersection controls, and areas of potential conflict among bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles. Additionally, we will focus on gathering data on suggested routes to schools, designated truck routes, special user areas, land use, streetlights, census data, and existing studies or master plans.
Collision Data
Fehr & Peers will obtain the five (5) most recent years of available and complete injury crash data for the City of Hemet using the UC Berkeley SafeTREC Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS). To bolster our crash analysis, Fehr & Peers will compare this dataset to the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) to confirm all injury collisions are accounted for. We will manually clean and geocode up to 50 additional collisions not present within the TIMS database, to create a complete collision record database. Fatal, severe injury, bicycle, and pedestrian collisions will be prioritized for manual updates to the database.
Roadway and Built Environment Contextual Data
Recognizing that not all necessary data may be readily available or up to date, our team is prepared to conduct field reviews of up to 8 hours. This handson approach will allow us to fill gaps in data, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of current conditions and nuances of the City's transportation infrastructure. Our aim is to provide complete documentation that reflects the actual state of the roadway and Active Transportation network, aiding in the analysis in the task 2.2 as well as recommendations in task 2.3.
Consistent with SS4A guidelines, Fehr & Peers will develop a GIS database of up to ten (10) existing roadway and built environment data, to be used in the safety analysis. Fehr & Peers will work with Hemet staff to identify existing GIS data resources, and we will use other publicly available data (e.g. from OCTA, Caltrans, etc.) to fill in potential gaps. For data not available through public agencies, Fehr & Peers will create or update up to five (5) roadway characteristic GIS data layers, based on our field review. These could include:
• Posted speed
• Number of lanes
• Intersection control type
• Signalized left-turn control type
• Key destination locations
In addition to these items, Fehr & Peers will use two big data sources to provide additional contextual information:
• StreetLight data (through SCAG portal) will be used to identify bicycle and pedestrian activity hot spots
• Wejo connected vehicle data will be used to identify observed speed on local streets

23 Streetlight Data Experience
Fehr & Peers was an early partner with
Streetlight, and we have used their
location-based services big data on
countless projects, including several
safety efforts. We make our own
investments to validate Streetlight's
data, to ensure that our clients are
getting the most accurate data
product. In the context of safety work,
we have used Streetlight's networkwide volumes, travel time data, and origin-destination data to understand
the relationship between trip patterns
and collision trends. Streetlight data
collected at the network-wide level can
be a critical input for systemic analysis.

TASK 3.2: CRASH ANALYSIS
The SS4A Program encourages local agencies to conduct safety demonstrations and technology pilots for new safety countermeasures before applying for implementation funding. Under this task Fehr & Peers would identify a location for the City to install a quick-build countermeasure and conduct a before-and-after evaluation using near-miss video analytics.
Near-miss traffic events are used to define roadway user trajectories that cross the same location within three seconds – although the interaction between the roadway users did not lead to a crash, the post encroachment time between the users can be used to quantitatively measure the safety risk.
The results of the near-miss/technology pilot will be documented in a separate memorandum that used to support future grant funding pursuits.
Since the cost of the quick-build countermeasure varies based on location and context, the fee assumes a base material and installation cost of $50,000 at a single location. Fehr & Peers will use the five-year collision database and contextual database developed as part of Task 2.1 to perform three key types of safety analysis consistent with SS4A guidelines:
• Summary of collision trends
• Identification of collision hotspots
• Identification of collision risk factors
Collision Trends
Fehr & Peers will use the collision database to summarize key trends, including:
• Collision type
• Primary collision factor
• Modes involved
• Turning movement
• Month and day
• Time of day and lighting
• Demographics of victims and parties (e.g. seniors and students) Collision Hotspots
Fehr & Peers will use the collision database to develop a network of high collision count/high collision severity streets and intersections. Each network segment and intersection will be scored, based on a weighted index for collision severity and potential other factors based on City priorities (e.g. additional weighting for collisions involving young people, seniors, or people walking or biking). This process results in the development of a high injury network, as well as a ranked list of all intersections and segments in the City, from which a top 10 list can be easily identified. The results of this analysis will be mapped, with one round of edits based on consolidated comments.
The collision weighting aligns with HSIP crash costs, so that the most competitive grant funding locations can be identified.
16.C.
24 Collision Risk Factors
Following Highway Safety Manual and National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) guidance, we will pair collision data with contextual factors to develop a systemic analysis matrix and identify the top 10 collision types (e.g., top pairs of collision and contextual factors with high concentrations of severe collisions), their associated locations, and their most common contexts. Based on the collision types, we will identify up to 10 systemic risk factors (e.g., roadway, demographic, trip pattern, or land use characteristics) that capture the highest-risk contexts for fatal and severe injury collisions in Hemet.
This systemic matrix process, based on the FHWA Systemic Approach, has the effect of evaluating risk across the entire roadway system, rather than only managing risk at certain locations. It allows us to identify patterns that may not be reflected in standard collision data sources. The results of this analysis will be mapped, with one round of edits based on consolidated comments.
The results of this analysis will provide the key collision types, primary collision factors, modes, and various other collision factors occurring at the following location types or built environment factors, for example:
• Mid-block, at signals, and at unsignalized intersections • On roads with lower posted speeds vs. higher posted speeds • Residential and commercial land uses
• Near schools, parks, or transit stops
The analysis will result in the identification of patterns and related needs to support and inform recommendations in tasks 2.3 and 2.4 to be considered by the Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) and inclusion in the final Action Plan. The analysis will also include a focus on equity considerations (census data, demographics from collision data, and vulnerable road users), in alignment with SS4A guidance. Fehr & Peers will summarize the findings of this task in a memorandum. The memorandum will be written in a manner that aligns with SS4A guidelines so that it can be seamlessly incorporated into the final report and future grant funding opportunities.
Evolving the High-Injury Network
Tacoma Local Road Safety Plan - April 2018 21
Figure 13: Map of Locations with Greatest Number of Risk Factors Fehr & Peers worked with clients on
some of the first High-Injury Networks
in California, including Los Angeles, San
Francisco and Sacramento. Since that
time, we have continued to evolve our
methodologies in High-Injury Network
development, including through Sean's
involvement in the creation of HIN
guidelines for California. One important
consideration is the opportunity to involve
a systemic approach in HIN development,
to understand high priority locations
based on risk factors, in addition to
collision history.
By incorporating contextual factors in
HIN development, we can set Hemet up
for success in future grant applications,
as the prioritization process can have
grant requirement factors built in.
This process also results in a network
that can be used as the City's "safety
corridors," for the purpose of speed
limit setting flexibility under AB 43.

TASK 3.3: ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS
Infrastructure Solutions
We will work with City staff to develop realistic and achievable objectives and goals to measure improved travel safety over time. The community engagement and crash analysis will inform the corridors and spot locations within the City where infrastructure solutions are needed. Our team will develop engineering recommendations utilizing established countermeasures which will include the probability of each treatment to reduce collisions based on the Clearinghouse Crash Modification Factors (CMF). The countermeasures will be curated to cover up to 7 E’s of transportation safety, including Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Encouragement, Emergency Response, Emerging Technology, and Equity.
There may be additional countermeasures identified that do not currently have a document CMF, and our team will make recommendations for use based on available industry data and publications for consideration by the City.
16.C.
25 Concept Plans
While not identified in the RFP, we believe positioning the City for future grant pursuits is a value add that our team can contribute. We will develop up to three (3) grant ready conceptual designs and cost estimates for top-ranked projects. The concept plans and cost estimates will position the City for future funding opportunities including grant applications.
The concepts will be developed to identify key challenges and ensure accurate conceptual engineering cost estimates can be prepared. The concept-level alternatives will illustrate motor vehicle lane widths, bikeway options, conflict zone management, pedestrian improvements, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp modifications, landscaping, potential changes to utilities, and traffic signal modifications. We will prepare conceptual engineering plans at a scale of 1” = 50’ and shown on an aerial graphic using AutoCAD base drawings. We assume the concepts will be developed for a 1/2-mile long corridor for each of the three projects.
The conceptual engineering plans will be prepared consistent with the applicable City Standards; Caltrans (applicable Standard Plans, Specifications & Special Provisions, and other reference materials); National Association of City Transportation Officials guidelines; California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices; and Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Green Book). Based on the conceptual engineering plans developed, quantities will be generated, and unit pricing applied to prepare a conceptual level cost estimate.
Our team ensures that recommendations have feasibility for future implementation by public works staff at each agency. Having a well-thought out set of engineering improvements is important to position the City for future capital grant pursuits for realistic and implementable projects. Each project will eventually need to address key implementation measures such as funding, environmental review, utilities coordination, final design preparation, permitting, and construction.
Applying the Safe System Approach
We will develop project
recommendations to address the
documented need through qualitative
and quantitative analysis as well as public
input. Our team firmly believes in a multidisciplinary Safe System Approach to create a culture of safety and improved
network. The Safe System Approach is
built upon the following principles:
1. Death and Serious Injuries are
Unacceptable
2. Humans Make Mistakes
3. Humans are Vulnerable
4. Responsibility is Shared
5. Safety is Proactive
6. Redundancy is Crucial
Additionally, our team is embedding
the Safe Systems Pyramid concept
(Ederer, D. J., Panik, R. T., Botchwey, N., &
Watkins, K. (2023)) into our work where
increased focus on the built environment
and socioeconomic factors can yield
greater population health benefits with
less reliance upon individual effort.
Concept Plan Examples
TASK 3.4: NON-INFRASTRUCTURE RECOMMENDATIONS
In addition to infrastructure related solutions, Fehr & Peers will provide thoughtful recommendations to address behaviors that lead to collisions. Based on the findings of the analysis in task 2.2, recommended actions may include efforts to educate, promote awareness, and encourage road users to practice safe behaviors through opportunities for local partnerships, public outreach, and emerging technologies. These considerations will also balance the requirements for enforcement and emergency response, while ensuring programmatic changes are equitable in nature. This task will identify opportunities to improve existing processes and policies, per SS4A guidelines. Fehr & Peers will engage the Stakeholder Working Group (SWG) in review of the recommended solutions to be incorporated into the final Action Plan.
16.C.
26 TASK 4.1 FUNDING AND NEXT STEPS
The California 2020-2024 Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) is a datadriven traffic safety plan that coordinates the efforts of a wide range of organizations to reduce traffic crash fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The California SHSP was developed collaboratively with public and private sector safety stakeholders and establishes goals, objectives, and challenge areas. The SHSP addresses the 5Es of traffic safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Response, and Emerging Technologies.
Our approach also includes a another key safety focus area; Equity, aligned with the Federal policies for the SS4A funding.
The funding recommendations will align projects for successful grant funding pursuits such as the RCTC CSP, Federal SS4A, and HSIP. The SS4A and HSIP funding programs require the LRSP satisfy specific checklist requirements. The funding section will demonstrate compliance with the SS4A & HSIP requirements, providing eligibility for subsequent implementation grant pursuits. The funding plan will include mechanisms to track and estimate the proportion of funding allocated to projects specifically benefiting under served communities and disadvantage populations, ensuring equitable distribution of resources in alignment with the goals of the Safe System Approach. Our team is composed of transportation planners with demonstrated experience and ability facilitating public and agency engagement.
Our recommendations will focus on matching project recommendations to grant funding programs where the projects are best suited to address program goals. The funding and next steps review will consider Federal, State, and Regional funding programs that can be pursued by the City to advance planning, design, permitting, environmental clearance, property acquisition, and construction of projects. The next steps evaluation will create a simple list of actions by the City and will align with the SMART criteria:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable

The Fehr & Peers Team has included additional tasks that we feel the City could take advantage of to bolster their safety initiatives in the proposed Action Plan and fully utilize the grant funds that have been awarded. This is a customized approach and prior to kick-off, we will work with the City to fully explore each task outlined below and discuss in detail the benefits.
TASK 6: ADA TRANSITION PLAN
In November 2023, the Federal Highway Administration launched an initiative to encourage states, including California, to develop publicly accessible geospatial data for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plans. In line with current ADA initiatives, Fehr & Peers will develop a pedestrian infrastructure asset database through a pedestrian roadway safety audit - a systematic review and assessment of the pedestrian facilities, with the purpose of reducing and eliminating inaccessible pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way. Pedestrian assets include, but are not limited to, the width, slope, and obstructions along sidewalks and pathways, curb ramps, crosswalks, push buttons and signal equipment, and bus stop amenities. Data collected in this task can also be used to supplement roadway contextual data used in Task 2.2 in the Crash Analysis.
The data collected will be used to document the City’s current state of compliance. Fehr & Peers will develop a transition plan, incorporating findings from the Crash Analysis, and establish priority corridors for improvement. The pedestrian infrastructure asset database will be provided to the City.
Task 6 Deliverables:
• Develop a geospatial inventory of citywide pedestrian facilities, and
• Prepare a citywide ADA Transition Plan.
TASK 7: ROADWAY SAFETY SIGNAGE AUDIT
A roadway signage safety audit is a systematic review and assessment of the signage system along one or more streets, with the purpose of identifying any potential hazards, deficiencies, or noncompliance issues with the sign itself, its placement, and other variables. Sign audits help improve the safety of drivers, pedestrians, and other road users by ensuring that signs are clear, visible, and provide accurate information.
Task 7 Deliverables:
• Develop a geospatial inventory of the citywide signage system, and
• Evaluate citywide sign MUTCD compliance and retro
reflectivity.

ABOUT
Mr. Brown is a Senior Principal with 37 years of experience in transportation planning and engineering. In addition to his 32 years of consulting experience, Mr. Brown was the Director of Transportation Planning for the City of Sacramento. He has managed projects in eight states and three countries. Mr. Brown is a licensed Traffic Engineer in CA with practical and research experience in safety issues related to autos, freight, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Mr. Brown is a senior partner in the firm and is part of the executive team. He also oversees the firm’s national freight practice.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Mr. Brown was either the project manager or principal-in-charge of all the following studies conducted by Fehr & Peers:
Systemic Safety Analysis Reports
Mr. Brown served as Principal-in-charge of many recent Systemic Safety Analysis Reports (SSARs), including the cities of Montclair, Hermosa Beach, San Jacinto, and Vista. In all cases, these studies have yielded insights for the jurisdictions regarding collision patterns, hot-spots, and appropriate remedies. Our process has made it easy for agency staff to provide input and review key materials. We have engaged key stakeholders, at the direction of staff, to provide feedback on key issues and trouble locations. Some of these jurisdictions have asked Fehr & Peers to use the SSARs to prepare grant applications for state monies to implement the high-priority recommendations.
Road Safety Audits
Fehr & Peers led roadway safety audits for the following agencies/locations:
- Caltrans, SR 70 corridor (2019)
- Caltrans, SR 49 corridor (2020)
- LA Bureau of Engineering, 4 arterial corridors (2020) These studies incorporated a team of experts and stakeholders that ranged from 10- 15 people. Fehr & Peers led the team through data review, field reviews, brainstorming, and countermeasure identification. The reports are concise representations of the challenges, options, and recommendations.
16.C.
38 Pedestrian Safety Audits (25 cities)
Fehr & Peers developed a manual for Pedestrian Safety Audits to be performed upon request from California cities/communities.
The manual included collaboration with an expert review panel and review of best practices in pedestrian safety. The program won numerous awards and has been recognized as a national model for such programs. Upon completion of the manual, Fehr & Peers was retained to conduct audits throughout California.
Mr. Brown was the lead investigator for more than 25 individual studies from small towns (Lomita and Hermosa Beach) to large cities (Los Angeles and Irvine). These audits included a full day of walking the streets with City staff and interested parties to identify the problems and remedies related to pedestrian safety. The studies also created a GIS map of historical pedestrian-involved collisions in each jurisdiction.
Roadway Safety Expert Witness
Mr. Brown has conducted roadway safety analysis as an expert witness. These analyses included field reviews of potentially hazardous conditions, comparison of roadway designs to
professional standards, and statistical analysis of collision records to identify patterns. Mr. Brown testified in each of these cases, and the courts have ruled favorably for our client in each case.
Traffic Calming, National Expert
Mr. Brown, who co-authored the US Traffic Calming Manual, has led the firm’s efforts in creating citywide traffic calming programs (more than 15) and developing plans for individual
neighborhoods (more than 25). This includes the largest traffic calming project in the US (Downtown Sacramento) and awardwinning programs from Ithaca, NY to Ft. Bragg, CA.
Truck Safety, Beverly Hills
Mr. Brown was the principal investigator on behalf of the City of Beverly Hills in developing remedies to enhance safety for trucks on their steep residential streets. A series of fatal collisions led the City to engage Fehr & Peers in creating a plan to improve conditions. The plan included treatments such as a citysponsored truck inspection program, escorting of over-sized trucks, time-of-day limitations, parking management, traffic calming treatments, and new signing/striping.
Cal Poly Pomona Pedestrian Safety Study
Fehr & Peers conducted a pedestrian safety study of the entire Cal Poly campus. We evaluated existing pedestrian facilities and vehicle data on campus, with particular attention to pedestrianvehicle conflict locations. As part of our work we recommend specific crosswalk, roadway, and intersection improvements both on-campus and on City of Pomona roadways. We developed
guidelines for the University for future pedestrian treatments, including crosswalk design standards.
California Central Valley Freight Safety
Fehr & Peers, as part of two related studies, created a GIS spatial database of truck-related collisions covering five counties in central CA. This database was then used to query issues related to location, type, and cause of collisions to develop countermeasures for both pilot testing and long-term implementation.
Mr. Brown was the principal for both of these efforts.
Rancho Mission Viejo Sustainable Transportation
Program
Fehr & Peers prepared a sustainable transportation program for Rancho Mission Viejo, a new development in Southern Orange County. Our work on the sustainable transportation program included development of the bicycle plan, bicycle facilities and NEV (Neighborhood Electronic Vehicle) plan. The comprehensive NEV network is a unique feature that highlights the
development’s sustainable transportation program and is only the second such plan in the state. In Rancho Mission Viejo NEVs, bicyclists, and pedestrians will coexist on a well-connected network of paths and trails that link residential, retail, and recreational land uses, thus reducing the amount of automobile trips within the development.
Downtown Anaheim Pedestrian Safety
Fehr & Peers assisted the City of Anaheim on a number of transportation projects that will enhance the downtown
environment. We evaluated the safety and performance of modifications to Anaheim Boulevard and Broadway, which
included: angled parking, bulb-outs, reduced lanes, and wider sidewalks. Our analysis resulted in several refinements to the proposed street modifications. We have also analyzed the ability of the existing and proposed parking supply to support
additional development in the area.
Auto/Ped Safety Study, West Hollywood
Mr. Brown led an effort by Fehr & Peers to address
auto/pedestrian safety conflicts on a critical section of Santa Monica Boulevard. The data collection effort included a detailed review of driver behavior during evening hours when bars and nightclubs are active. Our recommendations included adding traffic signals, consolidating crossing locations, enhancing pedestrian visibility, and removing dynamic pedestrian signals.
Northrop Grumman Safety Study (Palmdale, CA)
Northrop Grumman retained Fehr & Peers to evaluate safety conditions on Avenue M, adjacent to their site in Palmdale. They were concerned for the safety of their staff, vendors, and the community at-large. Fehr & Peers provided a comprehensive review of the corridor to evaluate the collision history, identify the key issues/patterns, and develop counter-measures to enhance safety. This built upon, and complimented, a previous effort by the City of Palmdale to identify short-term improvements. Fehr & Peers assisted Northrop Grumman in communicating the ideas and implementation strategy with adjacent property owners and the City. Mr. Brown was the Project Manager.

40 San Bernardino County Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP)
(San Bernardino County, CA)
Fehr & Peers developed the San Bernardino County’s LRSP focused on County maintained roadway within unincorporated San Bernardino County. This particular Local Road Safety Plan applied a dual-pronged approach: 1) identifying priority systemic safety improvement projects based on high-risk roadway features that are correlated with fatal and severe collision types, and 2) reviewing collision trends to develop behavioral
countermeasures. This project incorporated the safe systems approach, shifting from the traditional goal to reduce overall vehicle collisions towards the goal of reducing overall kinetic energy and thereby reducing the number of fatal and severe collisions. Development of the LRSP incorporated input from a multi-disciplinary stakeholder group facilitated by Fehr & Peers.
Strategies included roadway design projects, education
programs, and enforcement efforts, based on safety efficacy research and equity best practices. Fehr & Peers prepared six HSIP grant applications and secured over ten million dollars in funding. Diwu was the project manager for this effort.
Canyon Lake LRSP (Canyon Lake, CA)
Fehr & Peers developed a LRSP for the City of Canyon Lake focused on the Railroad Canyon Road corridor, the only public roadway in the City. Since the LRSP was focused on a single highspeed roadway, the systemic safety identification process was focused on similarities between intersections and roadway segments within the corridor. Recommended countermeasures included roadway and intersection improvements, as well as behavioral countermeasures like education programs, media campaigns, local policies, and enforcement efforts, for segments of the Railroad Canyon Road corridor that have exhausted the list of engineering countermeasures. Fehr & Peers prepared one HSIP grant application for the City of Canyon Lake and secured over one million dollars in funding. Diwu was the project manager for this effort.
Lake Elsinore LRSP (Lake Elsinore, CA)
Fehr & Peers is updating the City of Lake Elsinore safety plan to satisfy federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
Implementation Grant funding requirements. In addition to a data driven safety analysis, the updated plan included community engagement, equity considerations and evaluation of
underserved communities, and the establishment of a vision zero-like goal. Development of the LRSP incorporated input from a multi-disciplinary stakeholder group facilitated by Fehr & Peers and from street-based outreach efforts which included
discussions with local business owners and unhoused community members. The draft plan was recently completed and will qualify the City of SS4A funding in 2024. Diwu was the project manager for this effort.
Railroad Ave Complete Streets Study (Pittsburg, CA)
Fehr & Peers evaluated Railroad Avenue within the vicinity of the newly opened BART station to identify potential multimodal safety and access improvements. As part of this project, Fehr & Peers conducted a safety evaluation by evaluating recent collision reports and performing a near-miss analysis. Fehr & Peers provided recommended improvements to address identified safety concerns, which were vetted through microsimulation operational analysis, and provided recommended programmatic solutions for reducing single occupant vehicle travel in the project area. Selected improvements were laid out in a conceptual plan.
SR-55 Safety Assessment (Orange County, CA)
Fehr & Peers worked with Orange County Transportation
Authority to evaluate the safety implications of modifying a proposed freeway mainline auxiliary lane, that would facilitate weaving between two off ramps, to separate acceleration and deceleration lanes due to right-of-way constraints along the SR55 corridor. Crash reduction factors were estimated for four alternatives using the Highway Safety Manual, NCHRP’s Crash Modification Factors Clearinghouse, and FHWA’s Interchange Safety Analysis Tool. Diwu served as the lead engineer on the project.
Community Based Transportation Plan - CBTP (Contra
Costa County, CA)
Fehr & Peers worked with Contra Costa County to identify local infrastructure needs in the cities of Richmond and Pittsburg, California. Our GIS specialists developed maps of the CBTP areas using collision data and information about gaps in the current bicycle and pedestrian network. The Existing Conditions Report and Preliminary Needs Assessment was used during public outreach to develop recommended strategies to address
transportation challenges identified by community members.
Diwu served as the Project Manager for this project
Connect Orinda (Orinda, CA)
Fehr & Peers worked with the City of Orinda to identify streetscape and transportation projects that beautify, improve travel through and preserve the uniqueness of downtown Orinda for people traveling by all modes. Fehr & Peers’ extensive community outreach included interviews, surveys, walking tours, and three well-attended community events; Connect Orinda engaged hundreds of residents and business-owners, who
submitted over 1,000 comments. Collision data and data from cellular devices was used to create infographics for travel to and within the City. Diwu served as the Project Manager for this project.

City of Hemet - Development of a Citywide Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan (CIP 2402) 3 Noah Rau, P.E.

SUBJECT: Development of Citywide
Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan
(CIP 2402)
Dear Mr. Rau
On behalf of GTS, I am pleased to submit
our proposal for the Development of Citywide
Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan (CIP
2402).
GTS commits to providing the City with a team
of experts who will bring a proactive approach,
leveraging the latest technology and innovations
to develop strategies that will reduce fatal and
serious crashes for all roadway users and
guide the programming, funding, planning,
design, construction, and maintenance of your
community’s future multimodal transportation
network. Our multi-disciplinary team members
have demonstrated capabilities to deliver topquality results throughout the planning process and final product, across the disciplines of planning,
safety, public outreach, engineering, and design.
Because of our team’s technical expertise in road
safety planning and our extensive experience on
similar projects -- from the San Gabriel Valley to the
Inland Empire and throughout Southern California
-- as well as our specific experience with innovative
methods of near-miss analysis, we believe GTS
is the best qualified firm to develop the Citywide
Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan.
At GTS, saving lives and preventing injury are
central to our mission and values. Because we
work on both the planning and the engineering
side, we are deeply familiar with all the things that
are needed to make streets safer and develop a
top-quality citywide multi-modal transportation
network, from policy crafting to planning,
interagency coordination, stakeholder engagement,
engineering, and design. Our recent successful
projects are testimony to our expertise in the fields
of transportation safety and active transportation
planning, from Local Road Safety Plans and Safe
Streets for All Plans to Bicycle Master Plans,
corridor safety improvements, and neighborhood
traffic calming plans.
GTS understands the need for a comprehensive
action plan to address road safety issues in the
City of Hemet. According to the data available
from the Transportation Injury Mapping System
(TIMS), during the five-year period from Jan. 1,
2019 to Dec. 31, 2023 there were 1,895 crashes
in the City that resulted in injuries or fatalities,
including 94 severe injuries and 41 fatalities.
163 crashes (5.6%) involved pedestrians and 95
crashes (3.2%) involved bicyclists. As such, it is
of paramount importance to develop a road safety
action plan that will guide the City in future safety
efforts and help to secure grant funding to address
safety issues for all travel modes.
I will be your project manager for this project and
will manage and coordinate the activities of our
proposed team. I am a licensed PE with over 22
years of experience and have served in similar
capacities for various projects, most recently the
City of Irwindale Safe Streets for All Comprehensive
Safety Action Plan, the City of Glendora Local
Road Safety Plan, and the Downtown Torrance
Systematic Safety Analysis Report Program. My
role is to ensure that every project deliverable
not only meets but exceeds your expectations,
providing data-driven and actionable insights and
effective solutions to enhance safety and mobility.
Ariel Godwin, AICP will be the planning lead for
this project. He has over 16 years of experience
as a transportation safety planner specializing in
improving safety outcomes for vulnerable road
users, and has served in similar capacities in
several locations, most recently for the Cities of
Glendora and Irwindale.
Our team includes Rock Miller (PE, TE), a
professional engineer and nationally recognized
safety expert with more than 40 years of
transportation planning, design, and operations
experience. Rock has worked with communities
throughout California as a consultant in traffic
design and safety for walking, urban bicycling,
and complete streets infrastructure. He has
served on the Caltrans Zero Traffic Fatalities Task
Force and is responsible for many safety-related
MUTCD updates. Rock provides strategic, highlevel guidance grounded in extensive experience and a proven track record of delivering impactful
transportation and planning solutions.
To deliver the best possible outcome for the
community engagement portion of the planning
process, we have added Communications LAB
to our team. The Comm LAB team of seasoned,
award-winning professionals has provided public
affairs and community outreach services to cities
throughout southern California. They will bring
