AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 3.
DATE: September 28, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: ANTHONY RAINEY, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAYWOOD AND
SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE MAYWOOD COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY APPROVING THE WARRANTS FOR PAYMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council receive, approve and file the warrant registers, wire transfers dated September 6, 2022 through September 20, 2022, and net payrolls dated August 28, 2022 through September 10, 2022 and adopt Resolution 6266 approving Warrants for Payment..
BACKGROUND:
Staff provides warrant registers and wire transfers to City Council as part of Management Controls, which as a whole are the policies, procedures, and practices conceived and put in place to assure the following:
the economical, efficient, and effective achievement of the City's objectives. adherence to laws, regulations, rules for policies;
the safeguarding of assets and information;
the prevention and detection of fraud and error; and
the quality of accounting records and the timely production of reliable financial and management information.
Furthermore, Internal Controls are a set of rules, procedures, and practices developed and employed to facilitate the safeguarding of the City’s assets, be they liquid (cash or investments) or fixed (infrastructure or equipment), or intangible (credit rating or information).
The City utilizes resolutions for approving warrants for payment to comply with Section 3-2.06 of the Municipal Code regarding Warrants for Payments. Exhibit A entitled Summary of Warrants and Wire Transfers/ Automated Clearing House (ACH) Transactions serves as a Management Control for complying with Section 3-2.06. Exhibit B entitled Detail of Warrants serves as evidence of Internal Controls utilized by City Finance staff that support these Management Controls for payments made by the City. These controls are carried out through the submission of all required documents supporting the invoices submitted for payment. Prior to payment, the Finance staff reviews all disbursement documents to ensure that they meet the approval requirements.
DISCUSSION:
A - PAYMENT APPROVAL - Pursuant to paragraph 37202 of the California Government Code, demands (called Warrant Demand) against the City for payment shall be audited and thereafter submitted to the City Council for approval or rejection prior to payment, either separately or in a register of audited demands and shall have attached thereto affirmation of the City Treasurer and City Finance Director certifying the accuracy of the demands and the availability of funds for payment. This is accomplished using:
A1 - Warrants Registers or checks certified or approved by the City Treasurer and Finance Director as conforming to authorized expenditures set forth in the City Council adopted City Budget.
A1.1 Prepayments – pre-paying allows the City to take advantage of allowable prompt payment discounts and make payments on due dates of invoices. This involves the issuance of checks prior to final warrant approval. Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions are made using a network that electronically moves money between the City’s bank accounts to a payee’s bank account. This is reflected in the Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH Transactions as Accounts Payable prepaid warrants for payment. Wire Transfer is a method of electronic funds transfer from the City of Maywood to one person or organization (payrolls and fees for electronic transfers).
A1.2 Regular Payment – To avoid late fees for payments made beyond due dates of invoices, checks are prepared prior to final warrant approval by the City Council. This is reflected in the Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH Transactions as Accounts Payable regular warrants for payment. After City Council approval, the checks are signed and distributed.
B - DOCUMENTATION – The City uses a Management Control by producing a summary document (Exhibit A - Summary Warrants for Payment and Wire Transfers/ACH transactions) that represents the cash disbursements required and the City uses an Internal Control by producing a detailed document (Exhibit B – Detail Warrants for Payment) that details information about each check issued for Prepaids and or to-be-paid for Regular Payments. These “disbursements” are accounted for in the FY 2022-23 budget.
B1 – SUMMARY WARRANTS FOR PAYMENT AND WIRE TRANSFERS/ACH TRANSACTIONS provide an accounting of the Accounts Payable Registers, wire transfers (method of electronic funds transfer from the City of Maywood to one person or organization), and Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions.
B2 – DETAIL WARRANTS FOR PAYMENTS provides the detailed information of approved payments made to the City's vendors and contractors by check number, identification of prepaid, date of warrant, vendor name, check amount, transaction description, and fund source. Wire transfers also enable the City to send electronic funds to the bank accounts of the City's vendors and contractors. The warrant registers, wire transfers, and net payrolls reflect the financial obligations of the City for the above-referenced dates.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.
DATE: September 28, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: ANTHONY RAINEY, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE
SUBJECT: REVENUE REPORT JULY - AUGUST 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the Revenue Report from July - August 2022.
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to maintain transparency, the City’s Finance Department prepares a monthly Revenue report for the City Council’s review. The Revenue Report is a tool used by the Council to monitor and oversee the financial health of the City.
DISCUSSION:
The attached analysis (see Attachment 1) compares the prior Year to Date (YTD) and current YTD Revenue.
The total revenue received from July - August 2022 totaled $4,045,619.22, which is 3.25% higher than the same period last year. For context, July and August comprise 16.67% of the Fiscal Year that has transpired, leaving 83.33% of the Fiscal Year remaining.
GENERAL FUND - The total General Fund received totaled $189,364.67 (see Column entitled B - Current Fiscal Year to Date Revenue, the row entitled General Fund Revenue Totals), which is 1.52% higher than the same period last year. For the column entitled D - Current YTD versus Prior YTD $ Difference in the row entitled General Taxes Totals, there were fewer Utility Users Tax remittances than last year. Licenses and Permits Totals were 62% greater than the same period the previous year due in part to the increases in the collection of Public Works Permit Fees and Building Permits respectively, due to the efforts of the Building & Planning Department. Charges for Services Totals were nearly 22% above the same period due to the increase in Plan Check Fees collected. SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - The total Special Revenue Fund received totaled $3,856,254.55, which is
3.33% higher than the same period last year. The City received the second installment in the amount of $3,226,257 from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). These Funds support cities in mitigating the fiscal effects stemming from the public health emergency caused by COVID-19.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.
DATE: September 28, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: SHIRLEY QUINONES, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT/DEPUTY CITY CLERK SUBJECT: RECONSIDERATION OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE COVID-19 STATE OF
EMERGENCY AND DETERMINE THAT THE CITY WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD
MEETINGS VIA TELECONFERENCING AND MAKING FINDINGS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54953(e)(3).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a motion finding that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members of the City’s legislative bodies to meet safely in person, and that State and County of Los Angeles officials continue to recommend residents get vaccinated and continue the measures to promote social distancing and therefore, the legislative body meetings of the City shall continue in a virtual teleconference format in compliance with Government Code Section 54953(e).
BACKGROUND:
The City Council has met remotely throughout the pandemic to protect the health and safety of the public and staff. Since the September 6, 2022 Special City Council meeting when this item was discussed, the factual circumstances still exist for the City's legislative bodies to continue to hold meetings pursuant to AB361, enabling local public agencies to continue to use teleconferencing without complying with certain Brown Act provisions related to teleconferencing.
DISCUSSION:
Since the beginning of the year, there have been several COVID-19 variants, including the Delta variant, the Omicron variant, and the subvariant BA2, which is sometimes referred to as the "stealth omicron" and is a subvariant of Omicron. In addition, there are two new Omicron strains; BA.5—the most contagious one so far, along with BA.4, another subvariant—is causing more than 88% of cases nationwide, making it the predominant strain.
Los Angeles County had been in a prolonged summer surge with regard to COVID-19 cases. Because of the summer surge, Los Angeles County’s coronavirus cases rate was at its highest point in nearly five months. In mid-July, daily cases reached a high of 8,359, which was the highest since January and over the summer Los Angeles County remained in the federal government's "high" virus category.
While as of early September, Los Angeles County now has a low-transmission rate, Los Angeles County Health Department is still reporting that viral transmission continues and thousands of new cases are still being reported daily. The County is asking residents to continue following sensible safety measures including indoor masking and staying home and away from others if sick to help reduce the rate of transmission. In addition, the County is stating that as the COVID-19 virus continues to mutate, there is a very real possibility that new
variants of concern could contribute to another surge in the fall or winter, making it important that Los Angeles County residents take steps to reduce the risk for serious illness.
Accordingly, transmission still remains contagious, with increased risk for the elderly, the unvaccinated, people with serious health conditions, and workers in close contact with others. Cal OSHA Emergency Temporary Standards continue to recognize the importance of social distancing and state that the fact that particles containing the virus can travel more than six feet, especially indoors, training and instruction should be given to employees in that regard as well as inform them that physical distancing, face coverings, increased ventilation indoors, and respiratory protection decrease the spread of COVID-19 and are most effective when used in combination. Based on the research conducted since the last City Council meeting, the factual circumstances exist for the City’s legislative bodies to continue to hold meetings pursuant to AB 361.
The flexibility of a virtual format will allow the continuation of the City’s business so that Council meetings would not have to be canceled should members have health concerns or are sick and would provide the flexibility for each member of a legislative body to determine for themselves based on their own health matters whether attending a meeting will be a risk to their health and safety or that of the other attendees. By reconsidering the circumstances of the state of emergency created by the COVID-19 pandemic and finding that the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person and that state and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing, the public meetings of the City can continue to be conducted by teleconference (i.e. Zoom) for the next 30 days pursuant to Section 54953(e)(3).
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact if the City Council makes the determination under AB 361 as the City has been meeting in a remote format since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 6.
DATE: September 28, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: MOHAMMAD MOSTAHKAMI, PE
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTING RESOLUTION NO. 6267 APPROVING THE CITY OF MAYWOOD LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN (LRSP).
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council (i) receive and file a presentation on the City’s Local Road Safety Plan; (ii) and adopt Resolution No. 6267 approving the City of Maywood Local Roadway Safety Plan.
BACKGROUND:
On November 27, 2019, the City submitted the Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) grant funding request to the State. On March 24, 2021, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute all documents and agreements for projects funded through the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The State funding agreement for $72,000 was executed in March 24, 2021. LRSP grant requires a local match of $8,000. On November 24, 2021, the City Council awarded a professional services agreement to Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for the preparation of the LRSP.
The LRSP identifies and analyzes roadway safety concerns Citywide and provides recommendations for potential roadway safety improvements to reduce or eliminate safety issues identified by the plan. Furthermore, the LRSP enables the City to apply for grant funding through the Highway State Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) which is a requirement of the grant this year. The LRSP (see attached Exhibit A) has been prepared in conformance with State and Federal standards.
DISCUSSION:
The LRSP provides a framework for identification, analysis, and prioritization of roadway safety improvements on local roads. The LRSP was developed using outreach and the process outlined by Caltrans to provide a systematic approach to providing safety improvements. The plan is data driven, using a comprehensive analysis of five years of collision data. The collision analysis provides various citywide collision statistics, such as collisions per year; collisions involved with vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, or property; types of injury collisions; and collision causes. The process results in a list of improvements and actions that address the areas of highest need, as supported by the data.
The LRSP identifies emphasis areas to inform and guide further safety evaluation of the City’s transportation network. The LRSP will guide the City to look at ways to set goals and measures that encourage a safe, wellconnected transportation network for people using all modes of transportation and prioritizes safe travel of people over expeditious travel of motor vehicles that will achieve significant declines in roadway fatalities and
serious injuries by the year 2050.
In order to apply for HSIP grant funds, a local agency must have completed their Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) or an equivalent of the LRSP, such as Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) or Vision Zero Action Plan. Caltrans recommends that the LRSP (or its equivalent) and its update(s) be approved by the local agency's Board or Council. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc, is the City's Project Consultant and developed the LRSP for the City.
The LRSP enables the City to apply for grant funding through the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) or other eligible grants such as Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A). Staff recommends adoption of the attached LRSP.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 in adopting the LRSP. The cost to implement recommendations in the LRSP depends upon the initiative, such as availability of grant funding, and whether the recommendation is an infrastructure or non-infrastructure treatment. The recommendations would be budgeted in future fiscal years for City Council consideration and approval.

MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
Executive Summary
Maywood has created a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP), which identifies a framework to identify, analyze, and develop traffic safety enhancements on the City’s roadway network. The LRSP was developed in response to local issues and needs. Through the analysis, this report has identified emphasis areas to inform and further guide safety evaluation and planning for the City’s transportation network. The LRSP also analyzes collision data on an aggregate basis as well as at specific locations to identify high-crash locations, high-risk locations, and citywide trends and patterns. The analysis of collision history on the City’s transportation network allows for opportunities to: 1) identify factors in the transportation network that inhibit safety for all roadway users, 2) improve safety at specific high-collision locations, and 3) develop safety measures using the 5E’s of transportation safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Services, and Emerging Technologies, to encourage safer driver behavior and better severity outcomes.
As one of the smallest and most densely developed communities in Los Angeles County, Maywood relies on its roadway network. Due to the heavy use of its transportation routes throughout the City Maywood is ranked 49 out of 94 in traffic and roadway safety in its California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) rankings. Compared to peer cities in the same category the City performs lower than 50% of its peer cities. The City plans to implement new safety efforts through this plan by identifying areas of emphasis and opportunities for system improvement that can be implemented to enhance safety. This LRSP analyzes the most recent range of collision data (January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020) and recent roadway improvements to assess historic trends, patterns, and areas of concern.
During the LRSP development process, the City has drafted a vision for traffic safety and outlined the goals that will help mark plan success. The vision is to enhance the transportation network to achieve zero traffic fatalities and serious injury related collisions. The goals were identified as:
• Identify areas with a high risk for collisions.
• Illustrate the value of a comprehensive safety program and the systemic process. • Plan future safety improvements for near-, mid- and long-term implementation. • Define safety projects for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and other program funding consideration.
Maywood’s collision history was analyzed to identify locations with elevated risk of collisions either through their collision histories or their similarities to other locations that have more active collision patterns. Using a network screening process, locations within the City that will most likely benefit from safety enhancements were identified. Using historic collision data, collision risk factors for the entire network were derived. The outcomes informed the identification and prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure safety measures that address certain roadway characteristics and related behaviors that contribute to motor vehicle collisions with active transportation users. The figure below shows the results of collision analysis, including the number of crashes that occurred at each intersection and along each roadway segment in the City.

MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
Emphasis areas were developed by revisiting the vision and goals developed at the onset of the planning process and comparing them with the trends and patterns identified in the crash analysis. Where these areas aligned, or major challenges were observed, the following emphasis areas were developed:
1. Aggressive Driving
2. Vulnerable Road Users
3. Signal Improvements
4. Impaired Driving
The LRSP identified countermeasures for both infrastructure and non-infrastructure improvements. The report then applies Crash Modification Factors (CMFs), which are used to estimate the safety effects of safety improvements to compare and prioritize the improvements. This provides a planning level cost/benefit estimate that the City can use to prioritize improvements.
Site-specific opportunities for improvement were identified for the following 9 case study locations. The case study locations were chosen to be representative of the corridor and intersection designs throughout the City.
1. Signalized Intersection: Pine Ave & Slauson Ave
2. Signalized Intersection: Atlantic Blvd & Slauson Ave
3. Signalized Intersection: Atlantic Blvd & 57th St
4. Segment: 59th (Atlantic to King)
5. Unsignalized Intersection: Heliotrope Cir/Heliotrope Ave & 60th St
6. Unsignalized Intersection: Heliotrope Cir/Heliotrope Ave & 59th St
7. Segment: Slauson Ave (Alamo Ave to City Limits)
8. Unsignalized Intersection: Heliotrope Ave & 52nd Pl/56th St
9. Unsignalized Intersection: Loma Vista Ave & Fruitland Ave
10. Unsignalized Intersection: Loma Vista & 56th St
11. Signalized Intersection: Everett Ave & Slauson Ave
The report also identifies opportunities that can be implemented systemically throughout the City. These opportunities were assembled into the “countermeasure toolbox” shown below and include both engineering-based and non-engineering countermeasures. Additionally, this information can be used to help the City apply for grants and other funding opportunities to implement these safety improvements.

MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
1 Introduction
Maywood is a vibrant community in the Gateway Cities area of Los Angeles County, with a population of around 27,000 residents. With an economy based on manufacturing, retail, and commerce, this area has numerous traffic safety needs.
This Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) identifies emphasis areas to focus and guide further safety enhancement to the City’s transportation network. The LRSP analyzes crash data on an aggregate basis as well as at specific locations to identify high-crash locations, high-risk locations, and citywide trends and patterns. The analysis of crash history throughout the City’s transportation network provided the opportunity to: 1) identify factors in the transportation network that inhibit safety for all roadway users, 2) improve safety at specific high-crash locations, and 3) develop safety measures using the five E’s of safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Services, and Emerging Technologies to encourage safer driver behavior and reduced collision severities.
The process and analysis performed for the City’s LRSP is described in this document. The plan includes a vision and associated goals for safety, crash history analysis, and specific emphasis areas that represent the most challenge for safety in the City. The plan provides a foundation for decision making and prioritization for safety countermeasures and projects that enhance safety for all modes.
Maywood has started to take steps to enhance safety for all modes throughout the City. Though their California Office of Traffic Safety rankings identifies it amongst the 50% tier for safety as compared to peer cities in most categories, the City is continuing to implement safety efforts through this plan by identifying areas of emphasis and opportunities for system improvement that can be implemented to enhance safety. This LRSP analyzes the most recent 5-year period of available crash data (January 1, 2016 – December 31, 2020) and roadway improvements to assess historic trends, patterns, and areas of elevated collision activity. 2020 was also analyzed to identify trends related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The intent of the LRSP is to:
• Create a greater awareness of road safety and risks
• Reduce the number of fatal and severe-injury crashes
• Develop lasting partnerships
• Support for grant/funding applications, and
• Help prioritize investments in traffic safety.
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
2 Vision and Goals
The Maywood LRSP evaluates the transportation network as well as non-infrastructure programs and policies within the City. Mitigation measures are evaluated using criteria to analyze the safety of road users (drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians), the interaction of modes, influences on the roadway network from adjacent municipalities, and the potential benefits of safety countermeasures. This effort is intended to use historical data to identify trends and develop a toolbox of countermeasures applicable to conditions in the City that can be used for proactive identification and implementation of opportunities, without relying solely on a reaction and response to crashes as they occur.
LRSPs have been effective across the country as part of the effort to reduce fatal and severeinjury crashes because they provide a locally developed and customized roadmap to directly address the most common safety challenges in the given jurisdiction. Consistent with these findings, the following Vision, Goals, and Objectives have been established for this project.
VISION: To enhance the transportation network to achieve zero traffic fatalities and serious injury related crashes.
Goal #1: Identify areas with a high risk for collision.
Objectives:
• Identify intersections and segments that would most benefit from mitigation. • Identify areas of interest with respect to safety concerns for vulnerable users (pedestrians and bicyclists).
Goal #2: Illustrate the value of a comprehensive safety program and the systemic process.
Objectives:
• Demonstrate the systemic process’ ability to identify locations with higher risk for collisions based on present characteristics closely associated with severe collisions. • Demonstrate, through the systemic process, the gaps and data collection activities that can be improved upon.
Goal #3: Plan future safety improvements for near-, mid- and long-term.
Objectives:
• Identify safety countermeasures for specific locations (case studies). • Identify safety countermeasures that can be applied citywide.
Goal #4: Define safety projects for future HSIP and other program funding consideration.
Objectives:
• Create the outline for a prioritization process that can be used in this and forth-coming cycles to apply for funding.
• Use the systemic process to create Project Case Studies. • Use Case Studies to apply for HSIP funding consideration. • Demonstrate the correlation between the proposed safety countermeasures with the Vision Zero Initiative and the California State Highway Safety Plan.
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
3 Process
Providing safe, sustainable, and efficient mobility choices for residents and visitors is a primary goal for the City and its safety partners. The City will continue its collaboration with safety partners to identify and discuss safety issues within the community through the development of the LRSP and its implementation.
Guidance on the LRSP process is provided at both the national (FHWA) and state (Caltrans) level.
FHWA encourages:
• The establishment of a working group (Stakeholders) to participate in developing an LRSP.
• Review crash, traffic, and roadway data to identify areas of concern. • Establish goals, priorities, and countermeasures to identify opportunities for improvements at spot locations, systemically, and comprehensively.
Caltrans guidance includes:
• Establish leadership
• Analyze the safety data
• Determine emphasis areas
• Identify strategies
• Prioritize and incorporate strategies
• Evaluate and update the LRSP
This LRSP documents the results of data and information obtained, including the preliminary vision and goals for the LRSP, existing safety efforts, initial crash analysis, and resulting emphasis areas. The identification of opportunities to enhance safety presented in this LRSP are connected to the five E's of traffic safety defined by the California Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP): Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Response, and Emerging Technologies throughout its process.
3.1 Guiding Manuals
The following section describes the analysis process undertaken to evaluate safety within Maywood at a systemic level. Using a network screening process, locations within the City that will most likely benefit from safety enhancements will be identified. Using historic crash data, crash risk factors for the entire network were documented. The outcomes will inform the identification and prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure safety measures that address certain roadway characteristics and related behaviors that contribute to motor vehicle crashes with active transportation users.
This process uses the latest National and State best practices for statistical roadway analysis described as follows.
3.1.1 Local Roads Safety Manual
The Local Roadway Safety Manual: A Manual for California’s Local Road Owners (Version 1.5, April 2020) purpose is to encourage local agencies to pursue a proactive approach to identifying
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
4 and analyzing safety issues, while preparing to compete for project funding opportunities. A proactive approach is defined as analyzing the safety of the entire roadway network through either a one-time, network wide analysis, or by routine analyses of the roadway network.1 According to the Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM), “The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) – Division of Local Assistance is responsible for administering California’s federal safety funding intended for local safety improvements.” To provide the most benefit and to be competitive for funding, the analysis leading to countermeasure selection should focus on both intersections and roadway segments and be considerate of roadway characteristics and traffic volumes. The result should be a list of locations that are most likely to benefit from cost-effective countermeasures, preferably prioritized by benefit/cost ratio. The manual suggests using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative measures to identify and rank locations that considers both crash frequency and crash rates. These findings should then be screened for patterns such as crash types and severity to aid in the determination of issues causing higher numbers of crashes and the potential countermeasures that could be most effective. Qualitative analysis should include field visits and a review of existing roadway characteristics and devices. The specific roadway context can then be used to assess what conditions may increase safety risk at the site and systematic level.
Countermeasure selection should be supported using Crash Modification Factors (CMFs).
These factors are the peer reviewed product of before and after research that quantifies the expected rate of crash reduction that can be expected from a given countermeasure. If more than one countermeasure is under consideration, the LRSM provides guidance on how to apply CMFs appropriately.
3.1.2 Highway Safety Manual
“The AASHTO Highway Safety Manual (HSM), published in 2010, presents a variety of methods for quantitatively estimating crash frequency or severity at a variety of locations.”2 This four-part manual is divided into Parts: A) Introduction, Human Factors, and Fundamentals, B) Roadway Safety Management Process, C) Predictive Method, D) Crash Modification Factors.
Chapter 4 of Part B of the HSM discusses the Network Screening process. The Network Screening Process is a tool for an agency to analyze their entire network and identify/rank locations that (based on the implementation of a countermeasure) are most likely to realize a reduction in the frequency of crashes.
The HSM identifies five steps in this process:3
1. Establish Focus: Identify the purpose or intended outcome of the network screening analysis. This decision will influence data needs, the selection of performance measures and the screening method that can be applied.

MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
5 2. Identify Network and Establish Reference Populations: Specify the types of sites or facilities being screened (i.e., segments, intersections, geometrics) and identify groupings of similar sites or facilities.
3. Select Performance Measures: There are a variety of performance measures available to evaluate the potential to reduce crash frequency at a site. In this step, the performance measure is selected as a function of the screening focus and the data and analytical tools available.
4. Select Screening Method: There are three principle screening methods described in this chapter (i.e., ranking, sliding window, peak searching). Each method has advantages and disadvantages; the most appropriate method for a given situation should be selected.
5. Screen and Evaluate Results: The final step in the process is to conduct the screening and analysis and evaluate the results.
The HSM provides several statistical methods for screening roadway networks to identify high risk locations based on overall crash histories. In addition to identifying the total number of crashes, this study uses a method referred to as Critical Crash Rate to analyze the data.
3.2 Analysis Techniques
3.2.1 Crash and Network Screening Analysis
Intersections and roadways were analyzed using four crash metrics:
• Number of Crashes
• Critical Crash Rate (HSM Ch. 4)
• Probability of Specific Crash Types Exceeding Threshold Proportion (HSM Ch. 4) • Equivalent Property Damage Only (HSM Ch. 4)
The initial steps of the crash analysis established sub-populations of roadway segments and intersections that have similar characteristics. For this study, intersections were grouped by their control type (Signalized, Unsignalized, Roundabout) and segments by their roadway category (Arterial, Collector, Minor Collector, Local). Individual crash rates were calculated for each subpopulation. The population level crash rates were then used to assess whether a specific location has more or fewer crashes than expected. These sub-populations were also used to determine typical crash patterns to help identify locations where unusual numbers of specific crash types are seen.
The network screening process ranks intersections and roadway segments by the number of crashes that occurred at each one over the analysis period, and then identifies areas that had more of a given type of crash than would be expected for that type of location. These crash type factors were 1) crash injury (fatal, serious injury, other visible injury, complaint of pain, property damage only), 2) crash type (broadside, rear-end, sideswipe, head-on, hit object, overturned, bicycle, pedestrian, other), 3) environmental factors (lighting, wet roads), and 4) driver behavior (impaired, aggressive, distracted driving). With these additional factors, the locations were further analyzed.
From the results of the network screening analyses, a short-list of locations was chosen based on crash activity, crash severity, crash patterns, location type, and area of the City of Maywood
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
6 to provide the greatest variety of locations covering the widest range of safety opportunities for toolbox development. The intent is to populate the safety toolbox with mitigation measures that will be applicable to most of the crash activity in the City. Ten locations will ultimately be selected for mitigation analysis.
3.2.2 Critical Crash Rate (CCR) Analysis
Reviewing the number of collisions at a location is a good way to understand the cost to society incurred at the local level but does not give a complete indication of the level of risk for those who use that intersection or roadway segment on a daily basis. The Highway Safety Manual describes the Critical Crash Rate method, which provides a statistical review of locations to determine where risk is higher than that experienced by other similar locations. It is also the first step in analyzing for patterns that may suggest systemic issues that can be addressed at that location, and proactively at others to prevent new safety challenges from emerging.
The Critical Crash Rate compares the observed crash rate to the expected crash rate at a particular location based on facility type and volume using a locally calculated average crash rate for the specific type of intersection or roadway segment being analyzed. Based on traffic volumes and a weighted citywide crash rate for each facility type, a critical crash rate threshold is established at the 95% confidence level to determine locations with higher crash rates that are unlikely to be random. The threshold is calculated for each location individually based on its traffic volume and the crash profile of similar facilities. A negative CCR differential value indicates that there are less collisions than expected for a location while a positive CCR differential value means there are more collisions than expected.

Data Needs
CCR can be calculated using:
• Daily entering volume for intersections, or vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for roadway segments,
• Intersection control types to separate them into like populations, • Roadway functional classification to separate them into like populations, • Collision records in GIS or tabular form including coordinates or linear measures.
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
7 Strengths
• Reduces low volume exaggeration
• Considers variance
• Establishes comparison threshold
3.2.3 CCR Methodology
The Process of analyzing the CCR and comparing locations (separately by intersections and segments) is a multi-step process. The following is a high-level description of the process undertaken to develop the initial ranking of locations.
The first step in the process was to establish a citywide crash rate for each facility population.
These populations are broken into two categories with sub-categories:
• Intersection:
o Signalized
o Unsignalized
• Roadway Classification:
o Major Arterial
o Primary Arterial
o Secondary Arterial
o Collector Arterial
o Local
The individual crash rate for each location was then calculated based on the associated traffic volume. This volume was either collected through data count resources or calculated based on the roadway classification. The next step was to establish a Significance Threshold. This Threshold was used to determine what level of exceedance (how much the crash rate exceeded the critical crash rate) a location must have based on traffic volume to provide a high level of confidence that the collision occurring at the location is not random. For this study, a confidence level of 95% was used. The local crash rates were then compared to Significance Threshold to see if each location exceeded the expected CCR and if so, by how much. After this analysis was completed, the locations were ranked by their categories according to that level of exceedance.
3.2.4 Probability of Specific Crash Types Exceeding Threshold Proportion The Highway Safety Manual describes the methodology for determining the probability that crash type is greater than an identified threshold proportion. This helps to identify locations where a crash type is more likely to occur.
Data Needs
The probability of a specific crash type can be determined using collisions records with location data, and classifications of the locations (intersections or segments) studied.
Strengths
• Can be used as a diagnostic tool
• Considers variance in data
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
8 • Not affected by selection bias
The HSM methodology first determines the frequency of a specific collision type at an individual location, then determines the observed proportion of that collision type relative to all collision types at that location. A threshold proportion is then determined for the specific collision type; HSM suggests utilizing the proportion of the collision type observed in the entire reference population (e.g. throughout the entire City of Maywood).
These proportions are then utilized to determine the probability that the proportion of a specific crash type is greater than the long-term expected proportion of that crash type.

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

9 Safety Partners
As part of the LRSP, local stakeholders were included in the process to ensure that a diverse set of local perspectives were consistently involved in this planning effort. In addition to the Project Team which included City Staff from the Public Works Department, a stakeholder group was organized. This group consisted of members from LA County Sherriff’s Department, the Los Angeles Unified School District, and other community members.
These leaders in the City and community were called together to offer insight on the safety issues present in the City’s transportation network. After the initial network screening and safety analysis, the stakeholder group met to discuss potential countermeasures and challenge areas.
The summary of the stakeholder meetings are outlined below.
4.1 Stakeholder Meeting #1
The first stakeholder meeting was conducted virtually using the Zoom platform on March 29th, 2022. At the meeting, stakeholders were introduced to the project and provided an overview of the data used, the required outputs, and the potential outcomes of the study.
In addition to the overview, Stakeholders were asked to provide local insight and knowledge at 12 “case study” locations that were identified after the initial network screening and crash analysis process.
Stakeholder feedback regarding the plan and opportunities were reviewed and incorporated into the study process for the development of the LRSP.
4.2 Field Tour Stakeholder Workshop
On April 5th, 2022 the stakeholder group visited each of the 12 “case study” locations to identify potential issues that are contributing to the collision patterns. Potential countermeasures were identified and discussed. Additionally, potential emphasis/challenge areas were proposed during the meeting to include vulnerable users (pedestrians and bicyclists), signalized intersection, speeding, and aging drivers.
4.3 Public Comment Period
The LRSP document was posted online in August 2022 for public engagement and comment.
Public comments will be used to inform future iterations of the report and plans.
Existing Efforts
Existing plans, policies, and projects that were recently completed, planned, or are on-going within the City of Maywood were compiled at the start of the LRSP process to gain perspective on the existing efforts for transportation-related improvements within the City. High-level key points regarding transportation improvements and safety-related topics were identified to inform decision making in this LRSP. Information reviewed included the following:
• Maywood General Plan: A long-term planning document that defines the city’s longrange intentions regarding the vision, nature, and direction of future City developments
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
10 • Active Transportation Plan (in development): A strategic plan that outlines the visions, strategies, and actions to be implemented to improve active transportation in Maywood Data Summary
As a data driven process, utilizing the most recent and accurate data is crucial. The following section describes the data inputs used for the analysis process of this LRSP.
6.1 Roadway Network
The Caltrans California Road System (CRS) GIS database was used to build the base roadway network used for this analysis. Functional Classifications were then imported from the City’s General Plan. Traffic volumes and signal locations were provided by the City and were included in the analysis network. Intersections and roadway segments were divided into control and classification categories so that each set could have its own crash rates and be evaluated against similar facilities. Figure 3 illustrates Maywood’s roadway network and intersections as classified for this study.
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
11 6.2 Intersections
The collision analysis requires each intersection be classified by type: Signalized or Unsignalized. The safety analysis compares intersection safety performance to locations with similar control types. This information is also displayed in Figure 3.
6.3 Count Data
Vehicular count data is used as part of the analysis process to evaluate the impact of traffic and understand the natural hierarchy of the roadway network. Count data utilized for this project was pulled from the City’s latest Traffic and Engineering Survey. For locations without volume or count data, a reasonable assumption was made based upon available roadways with similar classifications. The traffic volume information allowed the team to assess locations for risk to a given roadway user as well as reviewing locations with the highest number of collisions
6.4 Collision Data
Collision data was collected from Crossroads Software for the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2020. Five years of data are utilized instead of the standard three years to provide more history to evaluate trends or patterns. Analysis of the raw collision data is the first step in understanding the specific and systemic challenges faced throughout the City.
Analyzing the five years of data provided insight on the following collision trends and patterns.
The locations of fatal and severe injury collisions are displayed in Figure 4, and the number of collisions per intersections and roadway segments are shown in Figure 5.

15 Crash Safety Trends
The following section breaks down the collision data by a variety of factors and user types. This information will be used to highlight areas of concern for the City.
7.1 All Crashes
This report utilized collision data for a five-year period to provide a better understanding of trends and to reflect the patterns in crashes that have occurred on City streets. New data is added to the system on an ongoing basis which means that each time the City updates the analysis, a full 5-year draw from the database, rather than just adding records from the last query should be standard practice. Data used for this report were extracted from Crossroads Software analytics on July 7, 2021 and was current as of that date. Collision data from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2020 as reported to Crossroads from the local enforcement indicated that during this time there were 1,131 collisions recorded within Maywood.
During this time, the most common occurring collision types were Sideswipe (37%) and Broadside (21%). The total number of collisions stayed mostly consistent through the 5-year draw from the database.

20 7.6 Significant Trends for Passenger Vehicles
• 35 percent of collisions (395) occurred either at night or during dusk/dawn. Many of these collisions still occurred at or near intersections.
• 21 percent of the total collisions (243) were broadsides. Although significant in number, there are no discernable patterns to these collisions.
• Drivers aged 65 or older were found to be at fault in 4 percent of collisions. • Drivers aged between 16 and 20 years old were found to be at fault in 5 percent of collisions.
7.7 Equity
Figure 10 below displays in yellow the locations in the Los Angeles area which are classified as a Historically Disadvantaged Community. The entire City of Maywood is included in this statistic, therefore the entire city is deemed to be disadvantaged in relation to transportation issues. This document suggests transportation improvements throughout the City, and therefore focuses on equity throughout.
Figure 10: Transportation Disadvantaged Census Tracts (Historically Disadvantaged Communities)4
7.8 Initial Findings
Through the initial crash and network screening analysis, an initial ranking of locations of interest was developed. The intersections and roadway segments by sub-population are identified in Table 2 and Table 3. Locations were only considered if they had three or more crashes to be statistically relevant.
A complete table of crash analysis for intersections and segments can be found in Appendix B. 4 Transportation Disadvantaged Census Tracts (Historically Disadvantaged Communities). https://www.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/d6f90dfcc8b44525b04c7ce748a3674a

Emphasis Areas
Emphasis Areas are behavioral, road user, or road condition characteristics that the City of Maywood can strategically focus efforts on to have a large impact on transportation safety.
Emphasis areas were developed by revisiting the Vision and Goals developed at the onset of this planning process and comparing them with the trends and patterns identified in the crash analysis. Where these areas aligned, or major challenges were observed, Emphasis Areas and strategies were developed.
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
27 Emphasis Area #1: Aggressive Driving
Description: Behaviors that involve driving too fast, tailgating, and additional reckless driving maneuvers are included in the Aggressive Driving category. About 27% of total collisions in Maywood involved aggressive driving.
Goal for Emphasis Area #1:
• Reduce the number of collisions of aggressive driving. • Identify hot spots to implement improvement to address aggressive driving. • Apply for funding and implement countermeasures to help decrease aggressive driving in the City.
Strategies for Emphasis Area #1
• Engineering improvements such as speed safety cameras, dynamic speed signage, roadway design changes and appropriate speed limits for all road users. • Educational campaigns to improve behaviors of aggressive driving such as youth traffic safety education, and community-based programs.
Emphasis Area #2: Pedestrians & Bicyclists (Vulnerable Road Users) Description: Pedestrians and bicyclists are classified by Caltrans as vulnerable road users, meaning they have the highest potential for severe harm during a crash. Pedestrian and bicycle activity is high in Maywood. 5.7% of all collisions in the study period involved pedestrians or bicyclists. 14.1% of these collisions resulted in severe injuries and 14.1% in other visible injury.
Goals for Emphasis Area #2:
• Reduce the number of collisions involving vulnerable road users • Identify hot spots and priority corridors for addressing vulnerable road user collisions • Apply for funding and implement countermeasures to address pedestrian & bicyclist collisions
Strategies for Emphasis Area #2:
• Implement pedestrian and bicycle countermeasures/improvements at key locations • Install active transportation counters to identify high volume locations and implement infrastructure improvements at these locations
• Establish education and training programs to improve vulnerable road user safety citywide
These strategies can be implemented by the City, while partnering with Caltrans, LACMTA, NHTSA, CHP and other community partners. Funding sources for these strategies may include HSIP, ATP, STIP, SRTS, GGRF and SB1 grand funding programs.
Emphasis Area #3: Signal Improvements
Description:
45.8% of all collisions within the study period occurred within 250 ft of a signalized intersection.
3.0% of these collisions resulted in severe injuries, 6.1% resulted in visible injury and 23.9% resulted in complaint of pain.
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
28 Goal for Emphasis Area #3:
• Reduce the number of collisions at signalized intersections • Identify hot spots for signalized intersection collisions • Apply for funding and implement countermeasures at City signals Strategies for Emphasis Area #3:
• Address intersection collisions by implementing proven countermeasures • Identify priority corridors for intersections collisions and implement countermeasures on these corridors
• Analyze signal timing and determine if adjustments are need Emphasis Area #4: Impaired Driving
Description: Impaired driving crashes are a high priority challenge area within the Caltrans SHSP. Caltrans defines these as crashes where any evidence of drug or alcohol use by the driver is present, even if the driver was not over the legal limit. 12% of these collisions attributed to impaired driving resulted in fatalities or severe injuries.
Goal for Emphasis Area #4
• Reduce the number of crashes attributed to impaired driving • Identify hot spots and priority corridors for countermeasures to reduce impaired driving • Apply for funding to implement countermeasures to reduce impaired driving crashes Strategies for Emphasis Area #4:
• Authorize, publicize, and conduct sobriety checkpoints programs • Implement an impaired driving education campaign
• Develop educational programs targeting specific audiences based on age group • Additional enforcement presence
• Create effective media campaigns in both visual and print media Opportunities
The following provides more information on general identified issues, crash modification factors, improvements, and countermeasures identified for the City of Maywood, as well as for specific project locations identified as part of this analysis.
9.1 Infrastructure Improvements
9.1.1 Countermeasure Selection Process
Part D of the HSM provides information on Crash Modification Factors (CMF) for roadway segments, intersections, interchanges, special facilities, and road networks. CMFs are used to estimate the safety effects of highway improvements and apply CMFs to compare and select highway safety improvements. A CMF less than 1.0 indicates that a treatment has the potential to reduce collisions. A CMF greater than 1.0 indicates that a treatment has the potential to increase collisions. The application of an appropriate CMF can influence the decision to implement a particular project, and the misapplication of CMFs can lead to misinformed decisions. Key factors to consider when applying CMFs include:
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
29 1. Selection of an appropriate CMF,
2. Estimation of collisions without treatment,
3. Application of CMFs by type and severity, and
4. Estimation of the combined effect for multiple treatments Examples of Safety Countermeasures can be found through several sources. This Report utilizes the countermeasures found in the California LRSM (https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dotmedia/programs/local-assistance/documents/hsip/2020/lrsm2020.pdf) and the CMF Clearinghouse (CMF CH) website (http://www.cmfclearinghouse.org/).
Countermeasures for each of the Safety Project Case Studies are based on the data analysis and site visits. Additional countermeasures were identified for the high-level issues on a citywide level and are discussed in Section 0 of this Report.
9.1.2 Safety Project Case Studies
From the citywide analysis, ten project case study locations were selected for further analysis and opportunity identification. For each of these locations, Safety Project Case Studies were developed to provide a case study to organize projects when applying for funding. These locations were identified through the analysis process based on their collision histories, the observed crash patterns, and their differing characteristics to provide the most insight into potential systemic safety countermeasures that the City can employ to achieve the most costeffective safety benefits.
A Safety Project Case Study was developed for these locations:
1. Signalized Intersection: Pine Ave & Slauson Ave
2. Signalized Intersection: Atlantic Blvd & Slauson Ave
3. Signalized Intersection: Atlantic Blvd & 57th St
4. Segment: 59th (Atlantic to King)
5. Unsignalized Intersection: Heliotrope Cir/Heliotrope Ave & 60th St
6. Unsignalized Intersection: Heliotrope Cir/Heliotrope Ave & 59th St
7. Segment: Slauson Ave (Alamo Ave to City Limits)
8. Unsignalized Intersection: Heliotrope Ave & 52nd Pl/56th St
9. Unsignalized Intersection: Loma Vista Ave & Fruitland Ave
10. Unsignalized Intersection: Loma Vista & 56th St
11. Signalized Intersection: Everett Ave & Slauson Ave
Appendix A contains the Case Study pages which summarize conditions at each location, and potentially beneficial countermeasures. Countermeasures were subjected to a benefit/cost assessment and scored according to their potential return on investment. These case studies can be used to select the most appropriate countermeasure, and to potentially phase improvements over the longer-term. The potential benefit of these countermeasures at locations with similar design characteristics can then be extrapolated regardless of crash history. These case study sheets can also be used to position the City for future grant funding opportunities.
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
30 9.2 Non-Infrastructure Improvements
Non-Infrastructure improvements have also been proven to impact safety conditions of the transportation network. These education and enforcement measure opportunities are developed to target specific behavior types and populations. Based on a review of the existing plans, policies, and programs within the City, the following topics have been reviewed to identify areas where the City can implement or enhance safety efforts.

33 General Citywide Countermeasure Toolbox
This evaluation considered citywide trends to identify countermeasures that would likely provide the most benefit with widespread implementation. Countermeasures for each of the 5Es of Safety (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Emergency Services, and Emerging Technologies) were identified. These include both infrastructure opportunities, non-infrastructure opportunities. The citywide safety project opportunities can be referred to as the “Countermeasure Toolbox”. Within the toolbox, the description of the countermeasure along with its LRSM ID number is listed. The next column, Crash Reduction Factor (CRF) also known as Crash Modification Factor (CMF), are “multiplicative factors used to estimate the expected number of crashes after implementing a given countermeasure at a specific site (the lower the CMF, the greater the expected reduction in crashes)5
.”
For each of these countermeasures, a planning level benefit/cost analysis was completed.
Applying the benefit/cost at the citywide level was estimated assuming some randomness in crash distribution. The location characteristics, such as whether there is a traffic signal, and the type of crashes, were used at the citywide level to calculate an average cost of crashes that the countermeasure might reduce. The benefit per location was then factored out to a 20-year lifecycle savings, with an Opinion of Project Probable Cost (OPCC) for the initial installation costs and a per-year maintenance cost estimate. The cost shown in Table 6 should be considered initial planning costs using 2021 dollars and not assumed final. 5 LRSM Version 1.5 (2020), Page 27

38 Evaluation & Implementation
10.1 Evaluation
The success of the LRSP will be evaluated using the preliminary process outlined below. This process will be useful to ensure proper implementation of goals and to determine when updates are needed.
• Regular progress meetings can be conducted to track the implementation of the plan. In addition, the success of the plan will be evaluated on an annual basis. • An update to the plan should be considered within five years to maintain eligibility for HSIP funding
• Continued monitoring and recording of traffic incidents on local roadways by law enforcement.
• Maintain a list of focus areas where there are transportation safety concerns.
10.2 Implementation
Implementation of the LRSP can be accomplished through several avenues including development of projects, the establishment of new policies and programs, and development/strengthening of relationships with stakeholders.
With regard to projects, the following identifies potential focus areas for the City in the near-tomid-term.
Near- & Mid-Term Focus Areas
The opportunities identified in this report provide more of the systemic countermeasures that can be applied within the City. Over the next three to five years, the City has the opportunity to concentrate its efforts on the emphasis areas:
1. Aggressive Driving
2. Vulnerable Road Users
3. Signal Improvements
4. Impaired Driving
Analysis conducted at the citywide level indicated that these factors were some of the most frequent influences contributing to collisions within the City. The countermeasure opportunities previously discussed in this report for both systemic and project-specific improvements can be used as a basis for developing projects at locations where addressing these focus areas would be of the most benefit. Projects that address these focused areas can be developed with a high benefit-to-cost ratio (by applying Citywide collision rates), allowing projects to be developed even at sites with little to no direct collision history, but with conditions that might contribute to future collisions.
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
39 10.3 Funding
Competitive funding resources are available to assist in the development and implementation of safety projects in Maywood. The City should continue to seek available funding and grant opportunities from local, state, and federal resources to accelerate their ability to implement safety improvements throughout Maywood. The following is a high-level introduction into some of the main funding programs and grants for which the City can apply. The City should also work with regional agencies such as LACMTA and SCAG to identify and apply for safety improvement funding.
10.3.1 Highway Safety Improvement Program
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a Federal program housed under Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. This program apportions funding as a lump sum for each state, which is then divided among apportioned programs. These flexible funds can be used for projects to preserve or improve safety conditions and performance on any Federal-aid highway, bridge projects on any public road, facilities for non-motorized transportation, and other project types. Example safety improvement projects eligible for this funding include:
• New or upgraded traffic signals
• Upgraded guard rails
• Pedestrian warning flashing beacons
• Marked crosswalks
California’s local HSIP focuses on infrastructure projects with national recognized crash reduction factors. Normally HSIP call-for-projects is made at an interval of one to two years. The applicant must be a city, a county, or a tribal government federally recognized within the State of California.
Additional information regarding this program at the Federal level can be found online at:
https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/hsip/. California specific HSIP information – including dates for upcoming call for projects - can be found at: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/hsip.html.
10.3.2 Caltrans Active Transportation Program
Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP) is a statewide funding program, created in 2013, consolidating several federal and state programs. The ATP funds projects that encourage increased mode share for walking and bicycling, improve mobility and safety for non-motorized users, enhance public health, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Projects eligible for this funding include:
• Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects
• Bicycle and pedestrian planning projects (e.g. safe routes to school) • Non-infrastructure programs (education and enforcement) This program funding is provided annually. The ATP call for projects typically comes out in the spring. Information on this program and cycles can be found online at:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LocalPrograms/atp/
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
40 10.3.3 State Transportation Improvement Program
The State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) provides state and federal gas tax money for improvements both on and off the state highway system. STIP programming occurs every two years. The programming cycle begins with the release of a proposed fund estimate, followed by California Transportation Commission (CTC) adoption of the fund estimate. The fund estimate serves to identify the amount of new funds available for the programming of transportation projects. Once the fund estimate is adopted, Caltrans and the regional planning agencies prepare transportation improvement plans for submittal. Caltrans prepares the Interregional Transportation Improvement Program (ITIP) using Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) funds, and regional agencies prepare Regional Transportation Improvement Programs (RTIPs) using Regional Improvement Program (RIP) funds. The STIP is then adopted by the CTC.
10.3.4 California Senate Bill 1 (SB 1)
SB 1 is a landmark transportation investment to rebuild California by fixing neighborhood streets, freeways and bridges in communities across California and targeting funds toward transit and congested trade and commute corridor improvements.
California’s state-maintained transportation infrastructure will receive roughly half of SB 1 revenue: $26 billion. The other half will go to local roads, transit agencies and an expansion of the state’s growing network of pedestrian and cycle routes. Each year, this new funding will be used to tackle deferred maintenance needs both on the state highway system and the local road system, including:
• Bike and Pedestrian Projects: $100 million
o This will go to cities, counties and regional transportation agencies to build or convert more bike paths, crosswalks and sidewalks. It is a significant increase in funding for these projects through the Active Transportation Program (ATP). • Local Planning Grants: $25 million
10.3.5 California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grants This program has funding for projects related to traffic safety, including transportation safety education and encouragement activities. Grants applications must be supported by local crash data (such as the data analyzed in this report) and must relate to the following priority program areas:
• Alcohol Impaired Driving
• Distracted Driving
• Drug-Impaired Emergency Medical Services
• Motorcycle Safety
• Occupant Protection
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety
• Police Traffic Services
• Public Relations, Advertising, and Marketing Program
• Roadway Safety and Traffic Records
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
41 10.3.6 SCAG Sustainable Communities Program (SCP)
This program is an innovative vehicle for promoting local jurisdictional efforts to test local planning tools. The SCP provides direct technical assistance to SCAG member jurisdictions to complete planning and policy efforts to implement the regional Sustainable Communities Strategies (SCS). Grants are available in the following three categories:
• Integrated Land Use
o Sustainable Land Use Planning
o Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
o Land Use & Transportation Integration
• Active Transportation
o Bicycle Planning
o Pedestrian Planning
o Safe Routes to School Plans
• Green Region
o Natural Resource Plans
o Climate Action Plans (CAPs)
o Green House Gas (GHG) Reduction programs
10.3.7 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grant Program This program has allocated $1 billion annually for the next four years for local cities, counties, MPOs, and other roadway owners (except state DOTs) for safety improvement grants for safety planning, education, enforcement, and roadway improvements. This program is not benefit / cost based. Evaluation criteria are oriented to the project’s alignment with the Safe Systems approach. There is a 20% local match requirement (can be in-kind contribution via staff billable hours). Planning grants are open to any eligible agency and Implementation grants are open to agencies with a completed safety plan such as a Local Roadway Safety Plan. Planning grants are expected to range from $100,000 to $1 million and Implementation grants are expected to range from $1 million to $20 million. Grant applications are due in September 2022.
Implementing a Local Road Safety Plan and the City’s adoption of a Vision Zero resolution makes the City eligible to apply for SS4A implementation grants.
10.3.8 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
In November 2021, the President signed into law the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. In addition to the SS4A grant program described above, this law provides billions of dollars in additional funding for improvements and investment in the transportation sector nationwide. The law provides $30 billion in funding over five years for competitive RAISE grants for transportation projects, as well as additional funding for repair and environmental mitigation projects. As these grant programs continue to be developed, City can position itself by identifying potential projects and programs to pursue.
10.4 Next Steps
The City of Maywood has completed this LRSP to guide the process of future transportation safety improvements for years to come. The data-driven analysis process identified collision types, related primary collision factors, and locations of many collisions. Based on this process,
MAYWOOD LRSP 2022
42 Emphasis Areas were developed. These Emphasis Areas will guide corridor improvements, education programs, and capital improvements for the City.
Using the analyzed data and outputs from this LRSP, the City has the opportunity to complete the following tasks:
• Actively seek other funding opportunities to improve safety for all modal users • Collaborate with established safety partners & neighboring municipalities as improvements are made to create a cohesive transportation network • Iteratively evaluate existing and proposed transportation safety programs and capital improvements to design a safer transportation network in Maywood • Continually review collision data and update the analysis performed in this report • Monitor collision activity at locations where improvements were made to determine their impacts
Based on current Caltrans guidelines, the LRSP is valid for 5 years from date of completion for eligibility for HSIP grant funding.

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.
DATE: September 28, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: CLAUDIA ZAVALA, COMMUNITY SERVICES LIAISON
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND APPLICATION FROM RIVER IN ACTION IN THE AMOUNT OF $10,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Community Benefit Fund Application from River in Action in the amount of $10,000.
BACKGROUND:
The Application is dated September 1, 2022 and was received by email from the applicant. The City of Maywood has established a “Community Based Fund” to support community-based programs and activities.
Applicant eligibility is determined by the City’s Community Benefit Fund Guidelines and Procedures (“Guidelines”) for the distribution of funds to eligible organizations that provide community-based programs, community activities and educational activities.
DISCUSSION:
Per the grant guidelines, this includes non-profit agencies that provide programs or services to residents of the city, a school or school-based/affiliated organization in the city or other city-based organizations. The Eligible Organization must also be in existence prior to submitting an application and have a record of successfully providing the services for which funding is requested. In addition, per the Grant guidelines, the maximum amount will be no more than $5,000. However, in limited circumstances, the City Council has the discretion to award grants in an amount not to exceed $10,000.
The Guidelines also require that an Eligible Organization provide an eligible service or activity defined as a program, service, activity, event, or other similar activity that has a benefit to the residents of the City or a specified target group by: (i) enhancing the quality of life or the delivery of services in the City; or (ii) providing educational opportunities for the residents of the City.
River in Action has been in existence since September 11, 2018, and is a nonprofit organization focused on providing community-based environmental education programs for Kindergarten through fifth (5th) grade youth.
The requestor's proposal is to offer programs and workshops for this age range. River in Action meets all of the grant requirements.
River in Action is requesting a $10,000 grant to be used to facilitate environmental education programs at Riverfront Park which consist of guided painting workshops, birding, nature walks, plant exploration, and
environmental engineering workshops. The program will facilitate learning that helps students and their families navigate the unique challenges that define our era-reversing climate change, protecting biodiversity, and revitalizing our ocean. Maywood families will have the opportunity to create nature-based art pieces and take home interactive science kits after each workshop.
Their goal is to help the residents of Maywood strengthen their environmental literacy through our art and engineering workshops in hopes that they will gain a better understanding of their watershed and local natural environment.
These guided workshops will take place from October 2022 through January 2023.
Accordingly, based on the documentation provided by the applicant in support of their application, staff recommends that the City Council approve their request.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City currently has budgeted $75,000 in the Community Benefit Fund for fiscal year 2022/2023. To date, $27,000 has been spent on this account. Therefore, there is an adequate budget and no additional budget appropriation is needed. Fund = 100 - General Fund; Department = 302 - Community Services; General Ledger (GL) Account = 6301 - Community Benefit Fund Expenditures; Project Code = 9999 - Other F.Y. 22-23 Impact: $10,000 Current F.Y.

These guided workshops will take place from October 2022-January 2023.
Our goal is to help the residents of Maywood strengthen their environmental literacy through our art and engineering workshops in hopes that they will gain a better understanding of their watershed and local natural environment.
River in Action is currently receiving funding from the RMC to host similar workshops in Downey and South Gate.
Through connecting communities to their natural environment, we provide insights needed to foster the next generation of resilient, sustainability leaders. We strongly believe that our STEAM workshops help promote environmental literacy and overall mental health and wellness.
Funding will be used to facilitate learning that helps students and residents navigate the unique challenges that define our era- reversing climate change, protecting biodiversity, and revitalizing our ocean. Maywood residents will have the opportunity to create nature based art pieces and take home interactive science kits at each of our workshops. x

AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MAYWOOD
AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.
DATE: September 28, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JENNIFER VASQUEZ, CITY MANAGER
BY: CLAUDIA ZAVALA, COMMUNITY SERVICES LIAISON
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING THE COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND
APPLICATION FROM THE CSU FULLERTON/CSFU PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $10,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Community Benefit Fund Application from CSU Fullerton/CREAL/CSFU Philanthropic Foundation (Foundation) in the amount of $10,000.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Maywood has established a “Community Based Fund” to support community-based programs and activities. Applicant eligibility is determined by the City’s Community Benefit Fund Guidelines and Procedures (“Guidelines”) for the distribution of funds to eligible organizations that provide community-based programs, community activities, and educational activities.
CSU Fullerton/CREAL/CSFU Philanthropic Foundation (Foundation) has partnered with the City of Maywood, since 2009, to provide the Maywood Education Fair in the Maywood community. The Maywood Education Fair is led by Master's students attending CSU Fullerton in the Educational Leadership program. Through the CREAL, research center on the CSU Fullerton campus, these students work through the CSUF Philanthropic Foundation to educate and develop a "college-going" culture in the community.
The City over the last three years has awarded the Foundation a Community Benefit Grant. Last year, the foundation awarded $50,000 in college scholarships. Prior to that, in October 2019, over 1,300 residents turned out for the event, located at Santa Rosa de Lima School. This year, 2022, will be their 13th year and it will be an in-person event again. Due to COVID-19 the Maywood Education Fair in 2020 and 2021 were virtual events.
DISCUSSION:
Per the grant guidelines, this includes non-profit agencies that provide programs or services to residents of the city, a school or school-based/affiliated organization in the city or other city-based organizations. The Eligible Organization must also be in existence prior to submitting an application and have a record of successfully providing the services for which funding is requested. In addition, the guidelines allow for maximum awards in the amount of no more than $5,000. However, in limited circumstances, the City Council has the discretion to award grants in an amount not to exceed $10,000.
The Guidelines also require that an Eligible Organization provide an eligible service or activity defined as a program, service, activity, event, or other similar activity that has a benefit to the residents of the City or a specified target group by: (i) enhancing the quality of life or the delivery of services in the City; or (ii) providing educational opportunities for the residents of the City.
The requested funds will go towards CSUF’s non-profit efforts to increase the number of minority students completing college. In return, this commitment will have an enormous impact by transforming the Southeast cities of Los Angeles into more college-conscious communities, which will have numerous benefits for our City.
The applicant states that the CSU Fullerton/C-REAL/CSFU Philanthropic Foundation is requesting funds to provide the following services:
Through a competitive process, they will offer eight (8) $1,000 college scholarships to qualified students in the community, which total $8,000. Scholarships are provided for students that attend high schools in Maywood and/or live in Maywood.
$2,000 of these funds will assist in paying for giveaways, prizes, gift certificates, and food for the Education Fair, including the scholarship awards event and the Leadership Development Institute required of all scholarship recipients.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has not yet reviewed this report.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City currently has budgeted $75,000 in the Community Benefit Fund for fiscal year 2022/2023. To date, $27,000 has been spent on this account. Therefore, there is an adequate budget and no additional budget appropriation is needed.
