Attachment B. 2024 Safe Oakland Streets (SOS) Initiative Annual Report 2024 Rapid Response Investigations and Implementation Status OakDOT mobilizes its Rapid Response Program primarily in response to fatal traffic crashes. A Rapid Response investigation is activated following fatal traffic collisions involving vulnerable populations, including but not limited to children, seniors, people with disabilities, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The Program involves an engineering assessment that is separate and informed by police investigation of the crash, focused on the prevention of future loss of life.
Identified improvements are delivered through the Rapid Response Program (via a maintenance treatment or quick-build improvement) or through other existing programs, such as the paving program or capital improvements when there are existing plans for improvements as part of a larger project. In some cases, the engineering investigation may determine that the crash and resulting fatality was not preventable through engineering treatments, and no engineering action is identified for these cases.
Numerous Rapid Response investigations in 2023 were related to fatalities on International Boulevard. Improvements developed from these investigations have been folded into the International Boulevard Quick Build Project.
The following table includes the status of all Rapid Response investigations activated in response to 2023 fatalities or collisions. 2023 Rapid Response Investigations and Status
