SUBJECT: Vision Zero Action Plan and Local Road Safety Plan
RECOMMENDATION
Review and recommend the City Council adopt the Integrated Vision Zero Action Plan/Local Road Safety Plan Draft Report.
BACKGROUND
On December 10, 2019
, Council adopted a Vision Zero Policy, which established a goal of reaching zero fatal traffic collisions by 2030 . Council also received information on existing, recent, and proposed actions cover ing the Vision Zero 7Es: E ngineering, Education, Encouragement, Engagement, Emergency Response, Evaluation, a nd Enforcement. One of the initial actions identified was to develop a Vision Zero Action Plan (VZAP) to identify priority projects, programs, strategies, and actions that encompass all 7Es.
In 2020, the City contracted with Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates , Inc. , to prepare an integrated VZAP and Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP).
VZAPs typically use a multi-pronged hotspot
approach to transportation safety by addressing key crash factors and improving conditions along High-Injury Network corridors (shown in Figure 1) using the 7Es. By comparison, LRSPs use a systemic infrastructure approach to transportation safety by identifying locations with similar characteristics to those of where fatal or severe injury collisions occurred a nd treating these locations with engineering countermeasures. Building on these two approaches, this integrated plan aims to:
1. I dentify priority segments and intersections based on systemic crash analysis and prioritization criteria;
Vision Zero Action Plan and Local Road Safety Plan
June 4, 2024
2. D evelop eight emphasis areas to achieve Vision Zero; and
3. R ecommend multi-pronged actions.
Throughout the plan process, the project team provided input and received feedback from the Vision Zero Working Group, B icycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) , Council Transportation Committee (CTC), and the broader Mountain View community.
Vision Zero Working Group
As part of the initial Vision Zero policy adoption, a Vision Zero Working Group (VZWG) was established to review and provide feedback on Vision Zero-related projects. This working group includes staff from multiple departments , including Public Works , Community Development, Police, Fire, City Manager’s Office, Community Services , and Library. Over the course of plan development, the VZWG met five times to review and provide feedback on crash analysis, emphasis areas, proven countermeasures, prioritization criteria, scored segments and intersections, infrastructure projects, and noninfrastructure program recommendations.
Community Meetings
While the VZAP/LRSP approach is largely a data-driven process based on Caltrans LRSP direction and F ederal Highway Administration (FHWA) Proven Safety Countermeasures, staff held two community engagement events for the public to provide feedback. The first community meeting was held virtually on March 22, 2022 , with 100 participants. Community members reviewed crash analysis findings , expressed their personal experience on recent crashes, and provided feedback on prioritization criteria and proven safety countermeasures. The second community meeting was an in-person open house on March 27, 2023 with 20 participants. C ommunity members reviewed and provided feedback on scored segments and intersections, infrastructure projects, and potential noninfrastructure program recommendations. Outreach for both events included postings on social media platforms, email blasts, and Citywide yard signs.
Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee and Council Transportation Committee
The BPAC reviewed and pr ovided feedback on key deliverables , including systemic collision analysis, a safety countermeasure s toolbox, prioritization criteria, scored locations , and draft recommendations at their meetings on January 27, 2021, March 30, 2022, August 22, 2022, and
February 22, 2023.
On March 27, 2024
, BPAC reviewed the draft VZAP/LRSP final report and supported the draft recommendations. BPAC also suggested th at staff add a recommendation related to implementing “No Right Turn on Red ” prohibitions at certain locations in the City and provided feedback on the importance of reporting traffic collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists Vision Zero Action Plan and Local Road Safety Plan
June 4, 2024
even if there are no apparent injuries. Additionally, BPAC members requested ongoing tracking and progress updates regarding implementation of VZAP/LRSP recommendations.
In addition to BPAC review, the CTC also reviewed and provided feedback on the VZAP/LRSP prioritization framework and draft infrastructure recommendations on May 3, 2022.
ANALYSIS
The VZAP/LRSP Draft Report compiles the analysis, findings , and recommendations developed through the integrated process. These findings are outlined below.
Systemic Safety Analysis and Safety Corridors
Based on the Caltrans LRSP methodology, a systemic safety analysis identifies risk factors associated with crashes to guide Citywide investments in countermeasures that could prevent crashes in similar locations. In Mountain View, the systemic analysis was conducted from 2014 to 2019.
The systemic safety analysis also identified the City’s High- Injury Network (HIN), which is largely equivalent to Safety Corridors, as described in Assembly Bill 43 (AB 43) and the California Vehicle Code (CVC). Based on the CVC,
1 a Safety Corridor is defined as a roadway segment within an overall roadway network where the highest number of serious injury and fatality crashes occur.
In Mountain View, the City’s Safety Corridors include the following:
1. Rengstorff Avenue from El Camino Real to Garcia Avenue/Charleston Road;
2. Shoreline Boulevard from El Camino Real to North Road;
3. California Street from San Antonio Road to Hope Street;
4. Ellis Street from Middlefield Road to Manila Avenue;
5. El Monte Avenue from Springer Road to El Camino Real;
6. San Antonio Road from El Camino Real to Central Expressway;
1 California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22358.7(a)(1) instructs Caltrans to define safety corridors in the revised California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA-MUTCD) based on considerations regarding the number of serious injuries and fatalities.
Vision Zero Action Plan and Local Road Safety Plan
June 4, 2024
7. Middlefield Road from western C ity limit (400 ’ east of San Antonio Road) to Central Expressway; and
8. Old Middlefield Way from Middlefield Road to U.S. 101.
The City’s Safety Corridors represent approximately 7% of the overall roadway network, well within the 20% limit established by CVC. Furthermore, this percentage is consistent with surrounding jurisdictions such as Palo Alto and Sunnyvale.
In addition to the above Safety Corridors, El Camino Real and Central Expressway are also listed in the City’s High-Injury Network but do not meet Safety Corridor criteria due to being outside of the City’s authority. El Camino Real is under the authority of Caltrans, and Central Expressway is under the authority of the County of Santa Clara.

Infrastructure Recommendations
The VZAP/LRSP Draft Plan includes recommendations for infrastructure projects and noninfrastructure programs based on technical analysis and input from the VZWG, community meetings, and BPAC.
Caltrans guidance for LRSPs requires recommendations for specific infrastructure improvements at prioritized street corridors and intersections. Staff has included BPAC suggestion of including “No Turn on Red” countermeasure as part of El Camino Real and Grant Road intersection recommendation. Recommended corridor projects are listed in Table s 2 and Figure 2 , and recommended intersections projects are listed in Table 3 and Figure 3. Each recommendation is subject to further engineering feasibility analysis.

Noninfrastructure Recommendations
The noninfrastructure recommendations listed in Table 4 focus on policy and programming to improve road safety for all road users. Actions include:
• Safe Routes to School training and encouragement;
• Public messaging on speeding;
• Enforcement efforts focused on behaviors associated with fatal or severe injury crashes ; and
• P olicy and organizational efforts to support the City’s 2019 Vision Zero Policy goals.
The noninfrastructure recommendations were developed using the eight VZAP/LRSP emphasis areas and cover the following “Es”: Education, Encouragement, Engagement, Enforcement, Emergency Response, a nd Evaluation. In accordance with the FHWA Safe System Approach ,
noninfrastructure recommendations are presented in relation to the five safe system elements:
• Safe Road Users (RU);
• Safe Roads (SR);
• Safe Speeds (SP);
• Safe Vehicles (VE); and
• Post-Crash Care (CC).
In response to BPAC’s feedback, Table 4 includes noninfrastructure recommendations to explore “No Turn on Red” (SR -14) policy and provide ongoing progress report on VZAP/LRSP recommendations (SR-15).

If Council adopts the Plan, staff will continue to work with multiple departments to implement next steps in relation to noninfrastructure recommendations. Staff will also apply for grants to design and construct infrastructure recommendations.
Vision Zero Action Plan and Local Road Safety Plan
June 4, 2024
CONCLUSION
The Draft Vision Zero Action Plan (VZAP)/Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) responds to Council’s Vision Zero Policy, which aims to eliminate fatal traffic crashes in Mountain View by 2030. The plan was developed through a data-driven process involving crash and systemic safety analyses, with feedback from the Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee, stakeholders, and community members. Based on this process, the plan identifies seven safety corridors including: Rengstorff Avenue, Shoreline Boulevard, California Street, Ellis Street, El Monte Avenue, San Antonio Road, Middlefield Road, and Old Middlefield Way. The plan includes infrastructure recommendations to address these corridors and other priority roadway segments and intersections. The plan also includes noninfrastructure recommendations to provide additional direction in relation to safe road users, safe roads, safe speeds, safe vehicles, and post-crash care.
