SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL (SS4A) SAFETY ACTION PLAN (SAP) FOR
ROBINSON RANCHERIA
LLG is currently working on the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan (SAP) for the Robinson Rancheria as part of the SS4A Grant program administered by the US Department of Transportation. The preparation of the SAP will provide a framework for identifying, analyzing, and prioritizing roadway safety improvements on the roadways.
LLG is currently reviewing crash data provided by the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) published by the State of California, the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), and the Caltrans Traffic Accident and Surveillance Analysis System (TASAS).
The crash analysis and resulting data visualization in GIS will provide critical safety insights about traffic safety on the rancheria. This analysis will identify:
• Injury/fatality data by severity
• Corridor and area patterns
• Trends related to collision locations, causes,
roadway conditions, and other crash factors
With completion of the crash analysis, LLG will work
with staff to establish safety goals and objectives to
measure progress over time after the SAP is developed.
Emphasis areas will be identified and the project team
will work to develop countermeasures that are
targeted to address priority areas and recommend
improvements at specific locations as well as systemic
improvements that can be implemented throughout
the Robinson Rancheria. These recommendations will
utilize the Safe System Approach as well as the E’s of
roadway safety. Local, State and Federal funding
opportunities for the various identified projects will
also be provided.

SAFE STREETS AND ROADS FOR ALL (SS4A) COMPREHENSIVE
SPEED MANAGEMENT PLAN (SMP) FOR THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO
LLG is currently working on the City of San Diego’s Comprehensive Speed Management Plan. This plan is one of three supplemental planning activities to the City’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Program, for which they received $680,000 SS4A grant funding in 2022.
Assembly Bill (AB) 43 was passed by the California Legislature and signed into law by the Governor on October 8, 2021. AB 43 aims to address traffic safety concerns by providing local authorities with greater flexibility in setting and reducing speed limits through the following approaches:
LLG is currently assessing the City’s roadway network to determine which E&TS segments qualify for the 5 mph reduction under the Safety Corridor or High Concentrations of Bicycle/Pedestrian Corridors, and which segments meet the criteria for a Business Activity District. The Comprehensive Speed Management Plan will include the analysis findings, recommendations, and implementation approach.
The project team is led by Kittelson & Associates, who are also working on the other two supplemental planning activities; Historically Disadvantaged Community Quick Build Program and the Citywide Slow Streets Program.

A Safety Corridor is E&TS segment within the overall network where a disproportionate number of severe and fatal collisions occur. The bill allows for the option to reduce the speed limit by 5 mph on these Safety Corridors through the Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) process.
AB 43 offers another option for reducing speed limits by 5 mph on Corridors that Generate High Concentrations of Bicyclists or Pedestrians through the E&TS process. This provision aims to prioritize the safety of those walking or biking along roadways, helping to reduce the likelihood and severity of collisions.
Roadways currently posted at 30 or 25 mph that meet the criteria for a Business Activity District can be reduced by 5mph.

LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLANS (LRSP) FOR 23 COMMUNITIES INCOUNTY OF SAN DIEGO LLG completed a comprehensive local roadway safety plan for the County of San Diego. This project involves conducting a holistic systemic safety assessment for the County with focused
assessments for each of the 23 unincorporated planning
communities listed below:
Alpine Julian Rainbow
Bonsall Lakeside Ramona
Central Mountain Mountain Empire San Dieguito
Crest Dehesa North County Metro Spring Valley
County Islands North Mountain Sweetwater
Desert Otay Valley Center
Fallbrook Pala Pauma Valle De Oro
Jamul Dulzura Pendleton De Luz
LLG processed over 17,000 crash data points that occurred in both rural and urban areas within the County of San Diego. LLG processed data by translating and extracting relevant information from each collision. With so many collisions and hierarchal information for each collision, the key to successful review and analysis of the data is a clear process and good data management practices.
Using GIS and pertinent shapefiles, LLG mapped out the collision data for each community. The GIS collision figures included the following key elements:
- All Intersection/Segment Collisions - Pedestrians Involved Collisions (All & Youth) - Mode Share by Census Track - Bicyclist Involved Collisions (All and Youth - Senior Involved Collisions
Maps aided in identifying "hot spot" intersections and segments, while trend analysis revealed over-represented collision patterns on Countymaintained roads. Up to 50 data queries were performed to determine data-driven emphasis areas. The analysis also calculated collision rates and identified trends by type, demographics, locations, and other parameters.
LLG developed a unique process to identify the top 10 intersections and segments, incorporating collision frequency, collision rate, severity, vulnerable users, and the Healthy Place Index. This approach ensures equitable selection of locations for focused assessment and improvements.

5.2 – Citywide Crash Analysis: LLG will conduct a
thorough analysis of accident data, focusing on rates
of collisions, fatalities, injuries, and known high-risk areas. This analysis will uncover key trends related to crash locations, causes, time of occurrence, party-atfault, and victim demographics such as age.
Additionally, the data will be compared against the
condition of roadways and roadside facilities to better understand how infrastructure contributes to crash
patterns.
5.3 – Identify The Highest Occurring Crash Types: To
effectively prioritize safety improvements, the
analysis will pinpoint the top five (5) crash types
responsible for fatalities and severe injuries within
the City's roadway network. This will involve
calculating crash frequencies and rates for all crash
types, alongside identifying the number of fatalities
and serious injuries, fatality rates, and combined
bicycle and pedestrian injuries. Analysis of existing
conditions will also being included in this stage.
5.4 – Travel Mode Analysis: The crash data will be
segmented by travel mode (e.g., motorcycle, bicycle,
pedestrian) to identify any clustering of incidents
specific to these modes. Further filtering will be done by time of day, gender, and age of those involved in
crashes, with the goal of pinpointing specific
conditions or demographics that are
disproportionately affected.
5.5 – Identify the High-Collision Locations: LLG will
identify high-collision locations through a detailed
analysis of the data, including:
• Intersections: City-owned intersections with
the highest number and rate of crashes, with
collision rates compared to published
standards or the City's average.
• Road Segments: City-maintained roadway
segments with the highest number and rate
of crashes, again compared to relevant
collision rates.
• Severity Analysis: Identification of locations
with the highest number of fatalities and
serious injuries, including combined bicycle
and pedestrian fatalities/injuries.
• Risk Factors: Analysis of potential risk
factors such as age, driving behavior, speed,
traffic conditions, sight distance, and more,
focusing on the safety design of these
locations.

provided to the City for their records.
5.8 – Near-Miss Analysis: As previously mentioned,
LLG will partner with a subconsultant to conduct a
detailed near-miss analysis, combining video data,
simulation models, and crash reports to identify
locations with significant safety risks. The
subconsultant will use advanced video analytics to
detect and document near-miss events, such as
abrupt braking, unsafe lane changes, and close
interactions between vehicles, pedestrians, and
bicyclists. Simulation tools will be employed to
complement video findings by modeling potential
conflict scenarios under various traffic conditions.
Additionally, LLG will review historical
crash reports to provide context and
validate the findings from the nearmiss data. By applying this methodology, LLG will proactively
identify locations with frequent near-miss incidents
that may not yet show a crash history but pose
significant safety risks.

Public Works Director/City Engineer
City of Hemet, Public Works Department
445 E. Florida Avenue, Hemet, CA 95243
uuu RE: Proposal for the Development of a Citywide Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan Dear Mr. Rau,
NV5, Inc. is pleased to provide our qualifications to the City of Hemet for its first Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP). Our experience, team structure, and passion make us the best choice for the City to carry out this plan that will consist of a data-driven safety analysis, robust public and stakeholder outreach, and ambitious yet achievable implementation. This CSAP will also help leverage future Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Implementation funding from USDOT.
NV5’s practice is grounded in a collaborative approach, led by a skilled multidisciplinary project manager, and supported by highly technical and experienced staff and task leaders. We combine the technical expertise of the transportation engineering field with human-scaled solutions that bring about safe, comfortable, and equitable multimodal corridors. The planners and engineers at NV5 are specifically focused on ensuring that those who walk, bike, or use wheelchairs and other wheeled mobility devices receive the attention they deserve when we look at road safety. Known as Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) since they are not protected by a vehicle enclosure, these modes take on a disproportionate number of deaths and serious injuries on our roadways. Several of the staff at NV5 that will work on this project commute by active transportation and have first-hand experience in the safety concerns of those walking and biking. NV5 works for communities of all sizes, from small towns to large cities, to bring multimodal safety solutions to public rights of way. We have shown our clients that our ethos of matching the technical with functionality is a recipe for success. We also believe that our well-rounded capability to plan and design with all modes of mobility in mind, drawing upon our collective experience in other similar walkable and bikeable cities, can be useful during the study process.
The NV5 team will be led by James Miller, PE. His involvement with numerous federally-funded transportation projects in California and several other states will ensure that process, standards, and criteria are strictly adhered to. Erika Becker, AICP will serve as deputy project manager, assisting James in the management and allocation of resources. Rachana Sheth, AICP, who is currently working on multiple comprehensive safety action plans, will be NV5’s Quality Control Manager. Joining our team to provide public and stakeholder engagement is a firm we know and trust, Southwest Strategies, led by Hope Reilly. The NV5 team’s unique multi-modal planning and design experience will bring the City of Hemet a balanced perspective and a strong knowledge of best practices.
Our NV5 team is well aware of what is at stake with this work. The infusion of funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) is giving Hemet a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make more equitable investments to prevent deaths and serious injuries on their streets and roads. Hemet is a such a special place within the San Jacinto Valley, and we strive to continue your mission to make the city a more livable place in which people of all ages and abilities can walk, bike, roll, or drive safely. We hope you find in our proposal a strong commitment to these goals. If you should have any questions regarding this submission, please contact me at 858.531.6666 or [email protected]. Thank you for the opportunity. We look forward to building upon our strong relationship with the City of Hemet.
It is the policy of this Company to assure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, religion, sex, color, national origin, age or disability. Positive and affirmative action is taken to ensure the fulfillment of this policy in regard to all aspects of the employment relationship.
Sincerely,
NV5, Inc.

NV5 was recently selected by the City of Philadelphia Streets Department as an on-call consultant for its SS4A program. To date, Philadelphia has been awarded over $46 million in SS4A Implementation funds for multiple projects citywide. Prior to the SS4A program’s inception, NV5 worked with Temple University to reimagine North Broad Street (SR 611) through the heart of its main campus. North Broad Street is on Philadelphia’s Vision Zero High Injury Network. To mitigate this, NV5 examined safety improvements throughout the corridor as a springboard for the design such as raised intersections, curb bump-outs, pedestrian refuge islands, and raised medians. NV5’s plan led to the city’s initial SS4A award in 2022.
Philadelphia’s SS4A program will consist of improvements on High Injury Network corridors throughout the city, and will involve the installation of other safety and quality of life improvements like lower speed limits, road diets, protected bicycle lanes, RRFBs, traffic calming, transit-priority signalization, and speed cameras.

WEST ORANGE VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN
LOCATION: WEST ORANGE, NJ
CLIENT: NJDOT / WEST ORANGE, NJ
NV5 is nearing completion of the first NJDOT LTA-funded Vision Zero Action Plan in New Jersey for West Orange Township. The Vision Zero Action Plan aims to eliminate all fatal and severe injury crashes in West Orange Township by 2030. The Action Plan was developed by adopting the Safe System Approach to work towards Vision Zero.
The team conducted background research, existing conditions review, crash data analysis, identified a High-Injury Network, assessed equity/ environmental justice data and conducted field visits, The action plan was also informed by a review of Vision Zero best practices around the Country and documenting existing programs related to safety in West Orange Township.
The team facilitated outreach activities including engaging a multi-disciplinary Vision Zero Task Force, development of a ArcGIS hub website with a crash data dashboard, online survey and map, targeted outreach to older adults and seniors with paper surveys, public workshops, social media posts, and an online pledge form.
The final action plan is organized by five elements of the Safe System Approach (Safer Roads, Safer Speeds, Safer Road Users, Safer Vehicles and Post-Crash Response and Care). It also includes an implementation matrix with prioritization criteria, lead and supporting stakeholders, cost and timeframe. Actions developed for the plan are based on FHWA’s Proven Safety Countermeasures for infrastructure related recommendations and NHTSA’s Countermeasures that work for behavioral countermeasures.

NV5 assisted VTC and Middlesex County in developing the first Countywide Vision Zero Action Plan in New Jersey. The Vision Zero Action Plan aims to eliminate all fatal and severe injury crashes in Middlesex County by 2040. The Action Plan was developed by adopting the Safe System Approach to work towards Vision Zero.
The team conducted a crash data analysis, identified a High-Injury Network and assessed equity/ environmental justice data. The Action Plan was also informed by a review of Vision Zero best practices around the Country and documenting existing programs related to safety in Middlesex County and New Jersey.
The team facilitated outreach activities including a Partnership meeting to engage critical stakeholders in the development of the Vision Zero Action Plan and solicit input into the needs and priorities of Middlesex County municipalities. The final Action Plan was organized by five elements of the Safe System Approach (Safe Roads, Safe Speeds, Safe Road Users, Safe Vehicles and Safe Post-Crash Response and Care). The Action Plan also included a rationale on why the action was included, lead and supporting stakeholders, cost and timeframe. The team also identified priority actions based on the action’s impact on safety to achieve Vision Zero in the County.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
uuu PROJECT UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH
The City of Hemet faces a generational opportunity over the coming years to reinvest in its streets to create safer and more equitable corridors for its residents to walk, roll, drive, and take transit. With the dramatic increase in formula and discretionary federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), Hemet will have the ability to deliver a higher number of safer and more efficient streets to residents. The goals of the new Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program from USDOT are to utilize a Safe System Approach to employ low cost and high impact strategies to prevent death and serious injuries on our roadways.
The NV5 team recognizes the importance of generating the city’s SS4A Action Plan appropriately.
NV5’s planning and design ethos is centered around the consideration for all modes of travel, especially Vulnerable Roadway Users (VRUs). We are known across the nation as a collaborative and practical transportation planning and design practice that is centered around implementing safe and efficient design that considers an equitable balance between modes. We recognize that all modes of travel, from bicycling and walking, to driving and the delivery of goods, are important. But because a disproportionate number of deaths and serious injuries are encumbered by VRUs, special attention must be paid to the way we design our streets to ensure that everyone gets home safely, not necessarily faster. This philosophy goes into each and every project that NV5 delivers.
This SS4A CSAP will build upon previous work completed
in the city and will identify opportunities to improve current processes and create new policies, plans, guidelines, and standards. The CSAP process will listen to stakeholders and community users, both permanent residents of Hemet as
well as visitors, to understand the perceived transportation safety deficiencies in the multimodal network. Combined with a data-driven crash analysis and coordination with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG),
Riverside County, and overlapping jurisdictions, the NV5 team will compile a comprehensive list of implementation needs that will be competitive for future phases of SS4A funding.
Vulnerable Roadway Users (VRUs) include people who walk, bike, or use devices like wheelchairs. They are roadway users who are not protected by a vehicle enclosure.

City of Hemet Public Works | Citywide Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan NV5 | 14 Descripton f services
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
uuu SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1: Safe System Approach
NV5 will employ the following eight (8) core elements of the SS4A Safe System Approach to develop an impactful CSAP with actionable strategies and recommendations aimed at significantly reducing fatal and serious crashes for all roadway users within the City of Hemet and surrounding areas.
I. LEADERSHIP COMMITMENT & GOAL SETTING
Engage City of Hemet elected/high-ranking officials to achieve an official commitment to zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries.
Strong leadership is essential for driving safety initiatives. As such, NV5 will meet with City of Hemet leadership and elected officials to share the evolution of the CSAP and to elicit support. We will work to achieve an official public commitment (e.g., resolution, policy, ordinance, etc.) to an eventual goal of zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries. At the conclusion of the study, NV5 will present an overview of the CSAP to the City Council, provide recommendations for implementation projects, and encourage commitment from the City to the Action Plan.
II. PLANNING STRUCTURE
Establish a Leadership Committee responsible for the development, implementation, and monitoring of the CSAP.
NV5 will establish a multi-disciplinary Leadership Committee that will lead the City’s Vision Zero effort. The committee will include representation from elected public officials, police, transportation, planning, public health, emergency responders, schools, and others. Regular communication between the leadership committee and the NV5 team is crucial to the success of the project.
Throughout the development of the CSAP, meetings will be held every month to review previous meeting items, compliance items, project schedule, project plan tasks, and upcoming tasks.
Collaborative, informal meetings will occur as needed to discuss any specific items that require immediate attention.
III. SAFETY ANALYSIS
Conduct a thorough analysis of existing conditions and historical crash data to identify high-risk locations and contributing factors.
Data tells the truth about the crash trends within and around Hemet. Identifying existing crash hot spots, patterns, and historical trends is an important step in the development of spot and systemic safety countermeasures and informs multidisciplinary programs and priorities. NV5 will collect and analyze historic crash data across Hemet, also examining the rest of Riverside County as well as overlapping jurisdictions, focusing on the over-represented types of crashes that emphasize systemic risk factors associated with the most serious crashes at the regional and local levels (e.g., vehicle left turns, lack of walking or bicycling facilities, roadway speeds, crossing treatments). Data will be summarized in maps, tables and charts. The analysis will include an understanding of the crash factors by the various modes with a focus on vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, alternate travel modes). The team will identify crash contributing factors for the following by mode:
• 15 highest vehicle crash locations
• 10 highest pedestrian crash locations
• 10 highest bicyclist crash locations
• 5 highest crash alternate mode locations
16.C.
City of Hemet Public Works | Citywide Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan NV5 | 15 Descripton f services
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
The team will also conduct a systemic analysis of all roadways within the City regardless of ownership. This analysis will identify the common attributes of roadway and intersection types with the most crashes. This can include road system attributes such as jurisdiction, speed limits, and number of lanes. The team will develop a High-Injury Network (HIN) for the entire City of Hemet.
Typically, a high-injury network is developed based on a sliding window analysis of fatal and severe injury crashes. Based on the team’s collective experience with developing High-Injury Networks for similar Vision Zero Action Plans, it is recommended that the HIN for Hemet be developed by also factoring in moderate injury crash locations in addition to fatal and severe injury crash locations. This methodology assists in the development of a more robust HIN and factors in crashes that could have resulted in severe injury or fatalities, especially in the case of vulnerable users such as pedestrians and bicyclists. A higher weight is often assigned to fatal and severe injury crashes while developing the HIN.
A HIN for the entire City, regardless of jurisdiction, will be developed and refined based on feedback from the City and the Leadership Committee. In addition, a subset of the HIN with only City roadways will be developed. A HIN score will be assigned to each segment based on the number and severity of crashes. A separate HIN network and score for each mode will also be developed (pedestrian, bicyclist and vehicular).
We will develop crash “heat maps” to identify concentrations of crash occurrences and/or severity to visually identify areas of need or “hotspots” for further evaluation. The team will prepare summary crash statistics and hotspots for the City. The crash data will also be overlapped with environmental justice and overburdened communities to identify the impact of crashes on the most vulnerable populations in the Hemet.
IV. ENGAGEMENT & COLLABORATION
Engage the public and relevant stakeholders in the CSAP planning process to ensure community representation and feedback.
To help facilitate the City of Hemet’s Safety Action Plan, Southwest Strategies Group (SWS), in coordination with NV5, will work with the project team to provide extensive community engagement opportunities. To meet people where they are, the team will coordinate with local stakeholder groups and host public outreach meetings in the community, featuring opportunities to learn more about safety efforts throughout the region. This could include mapping exercises, physical models or visualizations with real materials, such as bollards and reflective striping, helping community members envision the possibilities for the future of transportation safety.

Finally, we will provide recommendations for virtual opportunities to ensure everyone has access to project information and a chance to provide their input. The following tasks will be further developed in the Community Engagement Plan (CEP) created for this project:
• Host community outreach meetings/stakeholder briefings (2) • Host pop-up public engagement sessions at two (2) community events • Identify virtual engagement opportunities, including, but not limited to virtual meetings and a dedicated project webpage
• Develop social media campaign to solicit feedback
• Develop e-blast campaign to solicit feedback
• Evaluate results of the Equity Analysis and create curated outreach methodologies • Document and summarize findings and responses received from the engagement and collaboration efforts
V. TRANSPORTATION EQUITY PLAN
Ensure the CSAP planning process is inclusive and representative and addresses the needs of underserved communities.
An existing conditions equity analysis will enable the City of Hemet, stakeholders, and the community to understand if and to what extent the burden of deaths and severe injuries in Hemet are disproportionately experienced. Building on the Environmental Justice chapter of the City of Hemet General Plan 2030, we will create a customized analysis based on our national expertise but specific to the conditions in Hemet, exploring demographic dimensions that lead to transportation inequities including but not limited to income, national origin, English proficiency, age, and vehicle access. This task will also review the descriptive statistics, systemic analysis, and High-Injury Network through an equity lens to identify existing disparities. The methodology for this analysis will be built with City and stakeholders to ensure it adequately addresses the local context.
An equitable approach to traffic safety is centered on solving for and with those most impacted. The equity analysis will discover who is over-represented in fatal and serious injury crashes, where there are populations living or congregating who are most susceptible to serious injury in traffic crashes (the very old and the very young, for example, and whether there are neighborhoods that are overexposed to frequent crashes.
Our team will work to quantify how the proposed strategies, policies, and projects in the CSAP will benefit groups seeking equity, as identified in the equity analysis. We also plan to engage the Leadership Committee in assessing the potential unintended consequences of proposed strategies, determining additional actions that may need to be reflected in actions to implement strategies, and in creating a plan to continue engagement and capacity building with underserved people in Hemet.
The NV5 team will summarize the results of the Environmental Justice (EJ) analysis in a technical memorandum highlighting areas of vulnerable populations and ensure that this data informs the development of priority projects and recommendations by minimizing adverse impacts and ensuring equitable distribution of infrastructure investment. The team will ensure that this equity data informs the overall safety analysis and network screening, such as the development of the high-injury

network. Additionally, the equity data will be integrated in the implementation matrix of the potential projects, strategies and recommendations. The analysis, performed in the early phases of the study, will also ensure that meaningful public outreach is conducted throughout the entirety of the planning process for the identified overburdened/vulnerable populations.
VI. POLICY & PROCESS CHANGES
Implement changes in policies and processes to support the goals of the action plan.
The NV5 team will collect and review existing programs, policies, planning documents, and provide a summary of existing efforts to address transportation safety in and around the City of Hemet. We will also conduct a review of comparable cities in California. These peer cities will be used as benchmarks for comparing crash rates per capita. Key points and takeaways will aid in our understanding of both local and national best practices in safety planning, policy, and implementation. We will identify best practices in developing Safety Action Plans, Vision Zero Action Plans, and Safe System standards that are applicable to the City. Key points and takeaways from the literature review will aid in our understanding of both local and national best practices in safety planning, policy, and implementation. Given that team members have developed and are currently involved in several Vision Zero Action Plans, we expect to hit the ground running with the literature review.
Based on this assessment, and in consultation with Hemet staff, NV5 will create a draft set of policy and process recommendations. The CSAP will outline implementation steps for each policy or process through the adoption of revised or new policies, guidelines, and/or standards. NV5 will also work with elected leaders to achieve an official public commitment (e.g., resolution, policy, ordinance, etc.) to an eventual goal of zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries.
VII. STRATEGY & PROJECT SELECTION
Identify and prioritize projects and strategies that address the most significant safety risks.
In consultation with City staff, NV5 will develop draft focus areas for the CSAP using the information gathered in the data analysis and stakeholder outreach process. Draft strategies proven to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes and that reduce crash rates within the various focus areas will be identified. FHWA’s Proven Safety Countermeasures, low-cost, high-impact safety improvements at both a system and site-specific level, and complete street principles will be considered. NV5 will work with the City to prioritize all of the safety strategies developed in this plan. Cost estimates, feasibility, expected benefits, and equity, among other factors, will be included in the prioritization process.
Vulnerable user projects (bike and pedestrian) can be prioritized independently.
The Implementation Matrix will set the stage for Hemet’s SS4A improvements over the next several years. Prior to the development of the matrix, it will be important for the NV5 team to understand the financial, maintenance, and personnel operations of the City and its partners so that an appropriate plan can be developed that is in line with City capabilities. The implementation matrix will be informed by a combination of Stakeholder and Public Engagement, the Safety Analysis, and the Transportation Equity Review. It is through this research that an initial list of solutions to spot, intersection, and corridor issues will be developed. We will work with the City to develop evaluation criteria that balance metrics, performance management goals, and public input to assemble a list of possible projects. A cost-benefit analysis will be conducted, and we will calculate the Crash Modification Factor based on specific countermeasures. Based on these criteria, we will provide a list of projects, strategies, and countermeasures prioritized into an actionable plan for deployment across three implementation time horizons, those being (1) immediate-term, (2) short-term, and (3) long-term.

To best position the City for the next round of implementation funding, and with permission and coordination from the City, NV5 will perform a demonstration of two (2) safety projects. This may include the deployment of a safety measure in a board form: cones/barrels/parked cars/flaggers/ etc. to showcase a possible improvement. We will incorporate methods and designs that are proven to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities documented by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
This would be a proof of concept and utilize City Public Works staff to help with the temporary installation.
Another added value that NV5 can provide is conceptual design for up to five (5) high priority locations. These 30% plans will be displayed in a colorful, easy to read format to allow the public to visualize the change to given intersections or corridors. The purpose of this task is to identify recommendations that would be best eligible for the next round of SS4A funding. Callouts of proposed construction items will include example photos of improvements (i.e. crosswalks, signal upgrades, signage, bulbouts, etc.) and/or details of the proposed improvements, where practical.
Approximate highway boundaries will be included using GIS mapping. No topographic survey is included. NV5’s Transportation Design team will prepare a graphic showing the limits of the project and an initial estimate of cost.
VIII. PROGRESS & TRANSPARENCY
Monitoring and reporting on the
progress of the action plan to ensure
accountability and transparency.
Progress and transparency are key
components of a successful Action Plan.
The NV5 team will develop a process
on maintaining a data dashboard using
ArcGIS or similar platform to ensure there
is ongoing transparency with relevant
stakeholders. The NV5 team will develop
the initial dashboard to include key crash
data, high-injury networks, safety projects
and measures. The team will identify
methodology to provide regular updates
and reporting on Hemet’s progress towards
reducing roadway fatalities and serious
injuries. Additionally, the team will develop
a safety toolkit containing a set of tools
for improving safety in Hemet. The toolkit
will aim to address the issues identified
during the crash data analysis tasks with a
focus on the high-injury network locations.
It will include safety countermeasures
most applicable to the study area with information on location context for application, application to specific crash types, description of the countermeasure, source and additional notes/design guidance, as applicable.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Sample data dashboards prepared for NV5 projects.

Task 2: Community Engagement Plan
To guide overall communications and ensure alignment over a broad range of outreach tactics, SWS will develop a comprehensive community engagement plan to be shared with all team members.
The highlight of this plan would be a detailed community outreach strategy, outlining our tried-andtrue ladder-style approach to educate and engage stakeholders, encourage significant feedback, and cultivate lifelong safety advocates. This plan would also provide recommendations to leverage relationships with local businesses and community-based organizations that the public already trusts, ensuring participation from even the most hard-to-reach populations. As described in the Engagement and Collaboration
Task 3: Coordination with the County of Riverside
The NV5 team understands that coordination with Riverside County is critical to ensuring the Hemet CSAP is a complimentary, comprehensive and effective plan that is free from conflicts with Riverside County and overlapping jurisdiction initiatives. Below are key strategies our team will employ to ensure successful coordination:
Joint Planning: Collaborate with County staff to develop and align safety plans. This ensures that local and regional safety goals are consistent and mutually supportive.
Data Sharing: Share data on traffic incidents, road conditions, and safety concerns to create a unified understanding of the issues and prioritize interventions effectively.
Policy Alignment: Work together to align policies and regulations that affect road safety, such as speed limits, enforcement practices, and infrastructure design standards.
Regular Meetings: Establish regular meetings between local City and County staff to discuss progress, challenges, and opportunities for collaboration.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Riverside County Experience: NV5 has an office in Riverside County and has an extensive history of providing solutions for various agencies throughout the County, including the County’s Transportation Department, its Economic Development Agency, and its Flood Control and Water Conservation District. In addition to serving the County directly, NV5 has extensive experience assisting cities in the region with projects that require County jurisdictional approval and coordination. Our deep understanding of the region’s unique needs and challenges has enabled us to deliver tailored, effective solutions across a wide range of projects.

Task 4: Key Project Deliverables
I. DATA
The SS4A program requires specific data deliverables to ensure the effectiveness and transparency of safety initiatives. The NV5 team will conduct a thorough analysis of existing conditions and historical crash data to set a baseline level of crashes and to identify hot spots, patterns, and historical trends. Key deliverables from this effort will include, but not be limited to:
• Baseline Data: Data on current road safety conditions, including traffic volumes, crash data, and roadway characteristics.
• Safety Analysis Reports: Detailed reports analyzing the data collected to identify hotspots, high-risk areas, and roadway intersections and segments prioritized by crash rates.
• Equity Analysis: Assessment and identification of communities experiencing transportation inequity and overburdened communities.
• Stakeholder Engagement Summaries: Documentation of community and stakeholder engagement activities, including feedback and how it was incorporated into the CSAP. • High Injury Network: Maps and geospatial data identification/visualizations showing high-risk locations.
These deliverables help track the progress of safety initiatives, ensure accountability, and provide valuable insights for future projects.
II. RECOMMENDATIONS
The purpose of the CSAP is to coalesce data review, safety analysis, stakeholder input, and public engagement efforts to form a set of recommendations to be implemented over the next five years – and beyond – with a goal of targeting zero traffic-related deaths and serious injuries. The plan will be holistic and include interventions that address infrastructure, behavioral, and/or operational safety, and will be organized around focus and/or emphasis areas to deliver meaningful benefits to underserved communities.
We will provide a list of projects, strategies, and countermeasures that are prioritized into an actionable plan for deployment across three implementation time horizons, those being (1) immediate-term, (2) short-term, and (3) long-term. Each identified safety intervention will identify the applicable safety target areas the project, strategy, or program is addressing, (i.e., evaluation, encouragement, education, enforcement, engineering, or emergency response). We will include countermeasures with documented crash reduction factors (CFRs) and each project and program will include an estimate of probable cost, responsible party, and potential funding sources. In addition, to best position the city for the next round of implementation funding, and with permission and coordination from the City, NV5 will perform a demonstration of two (2) safety projects and provide 30% concept design for up to five (5) high priority locations.

IV. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
NV5 realizes that effective project management is critical to overseeing the SS4A Action Plan development to ensure a timely result that maintains the project budget with implementable deliverables. We will develop a draft Project Management Plan (PMP) and provide it to the City for review before the kickoff. The PMP will provide the City and consulting team clear roles and coordination on work efforts, a detailed project schedule, milestone dates, and a directive on completing the SS4A Action Plan on time and on budget, while ensuring all project deliverables go through a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QA) review prior to submission to the City.
NV5 will hold a kick-off meeting with the City of Hemet staff. Key topics will include proposed schedule, project approach to network screening, coordination with key stakeholders, including Riverside County and overlapping jurisdictions, the documentation process, available data and documents, public outreach methodology, and project deliverables. As needed during contract negotiations, the NV5 team will refine their scope of work for the development of the CSAP. Once a contract has been executed, NV5 will refine our project schedule. Scheduling is an important task given the nature of the tasks that will be performed in this project, and a desire to complete the CSAP to be poised to pursue future SS4A Implementation funding. The NV5 team schedule is included on page 23 of this proposal.
Regular communication between City staff and the NV5 team is crucial to the success of the CSAP development. Throughout the life of the project, up to fourteen (14) monthly meetings will be held to review the project progress and next steps, ensuring the project remains on time and on budget through in-person, video conferencing, and phone calls. Meetings will include the NV5 team, City staff, and stakeholders. Collaborative informal meetings will occur as needed to discuss specific items that require immediate attention. We will prepare the agendas, handouts, and minutes. We will include a monthly progress report and an updated project schedule with the monthly invoice and progress reports.

V. FINAL REPORT
Executive Summary/Fact Sheet
The team will develop a concise and visually engaging executive summary with a fact sheet to provide a high-level summary of the overall Hemet CSAP. The summary and fact sheet will include key graphics, plan highlights, and recommendations in the overall Action Plan. It will be developed in both digital and print format. The team envisions a maximum of 6-page executive summary and an accompanying factsheet of the key data highlights. An outline for the executive summary and factsheet will be developed for approval by the City and the stakeholder committee. One key feature will be to highlight the next steps for the City to prepare for the next round of implementation funding through the SS4A grant program.
Administrative Draft and Final Plan
The NV5 team will prepare draft CSAP recommendations and identify policies needed to support the City’s vision for growth, development, and public safety. We will provide prioritized recommendations across three implementation time horizons, those being (1) immediate-term, (2) short-term, and (3) long-term. We will present recommendations in an implementation matrix, categorized by time, travel mode, project sponsor, cost, and funding availability. The CSAP report will provide all data collected and used in the completion of the project and articulate the City’s Vision Zero strategy. The findings will be categorized at the subarea, corridor, and intersection levels.
Compiling all the materials from the elements above, the NV5 team will complete a draft of the CSAP. The document, which will be a detailed but easy to read and understand, will be aligned with USDOT SS4A guidelines, as we understand that this will be a key document in obtaining future SS4A funding.
The draft CSAP will be provided to City staff, and if appropriate, Riverside County staff and other stakeholders. The NV5 team will incorporate all applicable comments into a draft for final review by the City. At the conclusion of the project, NV5 will provide three (3) hard, color copies of the final Hemet Citywide Comprehensive Roadway Safety Action Plan.

QUALITY CONTROL
NV5’s QA/QC PROCESS
NV5 achieves our quality vision and objectives by
maintaining and continually improving a Quality
Management Plan (QMP).
Accurate, complete and timely deliverables are
our priority. Our process includes having an
independent, qualified reviewer review project
deliverables before every milestone submittal.
This makes the products cleaner and enables
the recipient to focus on the findings and
recommendations of the project. We ask for the
same level of commitment from all of our NV5
team members, including our subconsultants.
We search for ways to improve each task by
employing economical thinking and ideas,
without sacrificing quality. NV5 has streamlined
and standardized the QA/QC process to improve
project delivery. The QMP incorporates best
practices to be followed; however, every project
should be tailored to meet specific project intent
and requirements. The objectives are:
• Identify key project quality roles and resources.
• Identify and describe quality processes and
procedures applicable to the project. The
QMP assures that all team members are
following the same processes.
• Serve as a reference tool for the Project
Manager and Project QA/QC Manager in
carrying out the steps related to quality
control and quality assurance.
• Provide the City with a concise picture and
documentation of NV5’s quality- related
processes and procedures.
The QMP describes the quality assurance
reviews that are to be performed for each
project. Reviews include the following:
QC Review: Review performed by a supervisor
not involved in the portion of the work being
reviewed. The objectives are to review the
documents for correctness and identify (red
line) incorrect assumptions, items not meeting
standards, or missing information that needs to
be included. This is a check for fatal flaws in the
design and to verify the project standards have
been met.
Inter-disciplinary Review: Review by technical
staff familiar with each element of the project
(including subconsultants) for consistency and
continuity and to avoid conflicts.
QA Review and Audit: Review to verify the
process and procedures of the QMP have been
followed and implemented.
The QMP also identifies the need and frequency
of quality audits. These audits are a means to
assure that a QMP is in place, is appropriate, and
is being followed. Typically audits occur at the key
project milestones. Additional optional reviews
may also be performed.

Local Roadway Safety Plan Client
Downey, CA
Willdan prepared an LRSP for the City
of Downey. The draft report was
completed and shared for review by
the project stakeholders. The plan
evaluated crash history on an
aggregate basis to identify high-risk
roadway characteristics, rather than
looking at high-collision concentration
locations through site analysis. TIMS
and SWITRS were used for the collision
analysis. With a population of 114,400,
Downey had a 6-year crash history of
5,557 Citywide crashes between 2015
and 2020. Willdan set up virtual
meetings with stakeholders from the
public works department, planning department, enforcement, fire department, and school district to identify collision hot spot locations and location-appropriate countermeasures and projects throughout the City. The evaluation helped identify safety projects within the City and prioritize countermeasures across the entire system. The results of the evaluation identified safety projects within the City that can be used to apply for future funding consideration through the HSIP and other safety program applications. The LRSP developed a prioritized list of 5 safety projects with competitive benefit cost ratios that were included in HSIP Cycle 11 applications. The project was completed on time and within budget.

Inglewood, CA
Willdan has prepared a
Local Road Safety Plan
(LRSP) for the City of
Inglewood. This LRSP
reviewed collisions between
2016 and 2021 to identify
high-risk roadway
characteristics. The City of
Inglewood has had a lot of
capital improvement project
recently completed or
planned for construction.
With this knowledge, this
LRSP focused on locations
that have not had any
recent work done. In the
early analysis stages,
Willdan identified over 40
top collision locations and with the stakeholders’ input, determined the top ten intersections and the top 5 corridors within the City for further analysis. A discussion in the LRSP for each of the high-priority locations included the existing conditions, a summary of the collision data analysis at that location and recommended improvements to mitigate the problems identified in the field review and collision review. Following this section in the LRSP, Willdan developed HSIP-ready capital improvement projects which included discussion on the included locations, project scope, countermeasures used, cost estimates, and BCR calculation. The stakeholders reviewed the proposed projects and prioritized the projects for future HSIP applications. The project was completed on time and within budget.

Paramount, CA
Willdan developed a
citywide Local Road Safety
Plan to systemically analyze
and identify safety
problems and develop
recommendations for
safety improvements in the
City of Paramount. This
evaluation identified safety
collision hot spots in the
City, developed
countermeasures to
address those hot spot
locations, and packaged
together systemic projects
that are turn-key for future
HSIP applications. TIMS and
SWITRS were used for the
collision analysis. With a
population of 54,400, Paramount had a 5-year crash history of 2,974 Citywide crashes between 2017 and 2021. Citywide trends and mitigation measures were identified and presented to the project stakeholders. We performed a thorough evaluation of the top ten intersection and corridors which helped identify spot location projects and identify trends that developed into systemic Citywide projects.
Paramount has been awarded $581,900 in HSIP Cycle 10 funding using two projects that were identified early-on in the LRSP development process. Following completion of the LRSP, two projects were submitted for HSIP Cycle 11, hoping to win the City over $1 million in HSIP Cycle 11 funds. The project was completed on time and within budget.
