CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: September 21, 2026
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
TITLE: STUDY SESSION TO REVIEW A PRELIMINARY DRAFT OF THE PLEASANT HILL SAFE STREETS FOR ALL (SS4A)
COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY ACTION PLAN AND CONCEPT
DRAWINGS
SYNOPSIS
The Safe Streets for all (“SS4A”) Safety Action Plan provides a foundation for a decision-making framework for the City to identify, prioritize, and implement safety countermeasures in future citywide transportation projects. Additionally, an adopted SS4A Safety Action Plan will enable the City to apply for federal funding to improve roadway safety. The Draft Safety Action Plan is now complete and ready for review and feedback from the City Council.
The SS4A Ad Hoc Committee reviewed the draft plan on September 2, 2026, and September 10, 2026, and recommended staff present the plan to the City Council for review and feedback.
The purpose of this study session is for the City Council to review and provide staff with input on the Draft Safe Streets for All Safety Action Plan and Concept Plan Drawings, prior to its final adoption by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Safe Streets for All (“SS4A”) Grant Program was created by the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) in 2022 to support its goal of eliminating roadway fatalities. The SS4A program provides funding to local governments nationwide for both roadway safety planning and implementation projects. Completion of a Safety Action Plan is a prerequisite for obtaining the grant funding necessary to construct the safety projects and strategies identified through the planning process.
During Fiscal Year 2022-23, the City of Pleasant Hill was awarded a $240,000 grant to develop a comprehensive Safety Action Plan. On October 6, 2025, the City entered into an agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to prepare the SS4A Safety Action Plan. Over the course of Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 20 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 approximately a year, the City and Kimley-Horn have worked collaboratively to develop the Draft Safety Action Plan.
The development of the Safety Action Plan has included community and stakeholder outreach, analysis of historical crash data, and identification of proposed safety countermeasures targeting areas of the City with the highest concentrations of fatal and serious injury crashes. The Plan includes the following components:
Community Engagement - Summarizes public outreach efforts conducted by Kimley-Horn and City staff to gather community feedback, including in-person engagement with residents and stakeholders and an interactive project website. Safety Analysis - Provides an analysis of local crash trends, roadway conditions, and community safety challenges. The High Injury Network (HIN) identifies locations within the City that would most benefit from safety improvements. Countermeasure Toolbox – Presents proven engineering safety countermeasures supported by Crash Reduction Factor (CRF) data to reduce the frequency and severity of crashes.
Recommended countermeasures were vetted through public engagement and review by key stakeholders, including the City Council SS4A Ad Hoc Committee and Pleasant Hill Police Department. The section also includes non-infrastructure strategies such as sobriety checkpoints, enforcement, and education.
Safety Projects – Highlights 10 selected corridor improvement projects along the HIN. Actions and Strategies – Identifies policy and program recommendations to streamline and improve the implementation of traffic safety improvements, enforcement, and educational outreach.
Review of Existing Policies, Programs, and Plans – Summarizes the City's existing policies, programs, and practices and recommends enhancements. Examples include the Complete Streets Policy, Safe Routes to School funding, and crash activity review procedures.
Implementation and Evaluation – Identifies priority focus areas for implementation and ongoing evaluation, including specific age groups, bicyclists, and other key populations.
Analysis
Community Outreach
The community engagement process provided an opportunity to gather input from a broad crosssection of the community. A project website was developed to collect public input through a safety feedback survey and an interactive City map, which allowed residents to identify transportation safety concerns at specific locations throughout the City. The website was promoted through the City's website, LED billboard, social media platforms, and the City's electronic biweekly newsletter, and bimonthly Outlook publication. Flyers were also distributed at various public locations, including bus stops, the Library, City Hall, and the Police Station.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 21 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 The online engagement platform received 911 comments. Listed below are the primary concerns identified through the public engagement process, listed in order of most frequently mentioned:
1. Speeding and Aggressive Driving Near Schools and Neighborhoods
2. Unsafe Pedestrian Crossings
3. Sidewalk Gaps and Pedestrian Infrastructure Deficiencies
4. Bicycle Safety and Connectivity
5. Intersection Safety, Traffic Operations, and Visibility Some common themes among these traffic safety concerns included traffic safety near schools, requests for traffic calming near campuses, and safer drop-off and pick-up areas. The desire for bike lanes, sidewalk gap closures, and improved bicycle connections also referenced safer routes to schools. Another frequent concern was safety at larger city intersections, particularly those adjacent to I-680, such as Contra Costa Boulevard and Monument Boulevard.
In addition to the online engagement, the project team conducted in-person outreach at Light Up the Night 2025 in downtown Pleasant Hill and the Earth Day Celebration 2025 in front of City Hall. During the Light Up the Night tabling event, the project team received feedback from 128 participants on what they perceived to be key safety challenges within the City. These challenges specifically included the need for speed reduction, improved pedestrian crossings, and improved bicycle infrastructure. The Earth Day event was intentionally conducted further along in the project to allow for feedback on the proposed safety countermeasures and the High Injury Network, which were both developed in response to crash data analysis and comments from the first round of public engagement. The project team engaged with 70 individuals on Earth Day.
The project team also conducted a virtual public meeting on February 17, 2026, to provide an overview of the Safety Action Plan and its development process. The meeting was attended by 23 residents. An in-person public workshop was subsequently held at City Hall on May 19, 2026, to obtain additional community feedback.
Stakeholder Engagement
A stakeholder working group was established to review the Safety Action Plan and provide input throughout the plan’s development. The group included key City staff, the City Council Ad Hoc Committee, first responders, neighboring jurisdictions, local transportation agencies, and representatives from local schools. The project team met with the stakeholder working group virtually on January 13, 2026, and conducted an in-person workshop on April 21, 2026, to provide project updates, solicit feedback, evaluate proposed strategies, and build stakeholder support for the plan.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 22 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 Following the second stakeholder meeting in April, City staff met with the Pleasant Hill Police Department to review and vet the proposed countermeasure toolbox and assess the feasibility and applicability of the recommended safety measures within the community.
Separately, City staff met with the City Council Ad Hoc Committee following each stakeholder engagement meeting to provide project updates and ensure that development of the Safety Action Plan remained consistent with the City's overall goals and priorities.
City Collision Data
Crashes within the City’s limits were analyzed over a five-year study period from January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2023, utilizing the University of California, Berkley’s, Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) website. This specific time frame was chosen because the TIMS website takes approximately a year to collect, process, and publish crash data from when the incident occurred. Therefore, any crash data from an accident that occurred within a year before the study began would not be available. During this five-year period, a total of 360 collisions were reported within the City, including three fatal collisions and 43 collisions resulting in severe injuries. This dataset included motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. Combined, fatal and severe injury collisions accounted for approximately 13 percent of all reported collisions.
Among these incidents, a broadside collision was the most common, making up for about 20% of all fatal and serious injury collisions; 15% of all fatal or serious injury crashes involved a pedestrian, while 13% involved a cyclist. Analysis revealed the primary factor in fatal and serious injury crashes was unsafe speed, which aligns with much of the resident feedback gathered during the public outreach events. The commonality among the crashes recorded in the data reflect unsafe driving behaviors, which this Safety Action Plan seeks to address.
High Injury Network
As part of the safety analysis, the project team identified a High Injury Network (HIN) consisting of roadways where a disproportionate number of fatal and severe injury collisions occurred. The HIN helps staff and the consultant prioritize locations where safety improvements may have the greatest potential to reduce serious and fatal crashes. Approximately 98 percent of Pleasant Hill’s fatal and severe injury collisions occurred on approximately 10 percent of the City’s roadway network. This concentration of serious and fatal collisions presents an opportunity for the City to focus limited safety resources on the HIN and implement targeted, effective countermeasures. By prioritizing proven safety improvements along the HIN, the City can make meaningful progress toward its goal of eliminating traffic-related fatalities and severe injuries by 2050.
City staff’s professional assessment and Kimley Horn’s data analysis concluded that the following segments and intersections are priority corridors within the HIN:
1. Contra Costa Boulevard – 2nd Avenue to Viking Drive
2. Contra Costa Boulevard – Harriet Drive to Doray Drive Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 23 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026
3. Golf Club Road – Paso Nogal Road to Contra Costa Boulevard
4. Paso Nogal Road – Morello Avenue to Golf Club Road
5. Morello Avenue – Chilpancingo Parkway to Paso Nogal Road
6. Pleasant Hill Road – City Border to Taylor Boulevard
7. Taylor Boulevard – Apollo Way to City Border
8. Gregory Lane – Pleasant Hill Road to Helen Road
9. Gregory Lane – Kahrs Avenue to Contra Costa Boulevard
10. Geary Road – Larkey Lane to Putnam Boulevard
The two concepts along Gregory Lane listed above will be incorporated into the Gregory Lane Complete Streets Improvement Study, which was approved and funded within the FY24/29 Capital Improvement Plan. The public outreach and data collection that was already performed as part of the Safety Action Plan will also be incorporated into the study to avoid redundant work.
Certain major arterial roadway segments identified in the HIN were not selected to move forward with concept drawings for one of two reasons: First, some segments have already included capital improvement projects that incorporated safety measures since the study period ended on December 31, 2023. For example, safety improvements have already been implemented along Contra Costa Boulevard between Viking Drive and Harriet Drive with the Contra Costa Boulevard Complete Streets Project. Second, the City has already produced concept drawings for segments, such as Monument Boulevard, and is pursuing funding for implementation. Developing additional concept drawings for these areas through the SS4A program would duplicate previous efforts.
Concept Plan Drawings
The draft concept drawings were reviewed with the Ad Hoc Committee during two meetings held on September 2, 2026, and September 10, 2026. The following sections were discussed:
Contra Costa Boulevard and Golf Club Road Intersection: The concept drawing proposes the removal of the median and landscaping along the entrance to Golf Club Road. This would result in the removal of the existing palm trees and landscaping that were previously installed for beautification purposes.
Morello Avenue: The roadway will be reduced to a pair of travel lanes - one in each direction - with the potential for a raised or striped median along the centerline. Additionally, parallel parking spaces will be removed in order to accommodate a new two-way cycle track. These improvements will also be adjacent to a housing opportunity site on the northwest corner of the intersection of Morello Avenue and Paso Nogal Road (Netherby Drive).
Morello Avenue and Paso Nogal Intersection: City staff and the Ad Hoc Committee is exploring the option of placing a traffic circle in lieu of the proposed signalized intersection.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 24 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 Norse Drive and Paso Nogal Intersection: The concept drawing proposes to signalize this intersection.
Road Diet on Gregory Lane: The roadway will be reduced to two travel lanes to accommodate bike lanes and a two-way left turn lane. Off-street parking will be removed in front of singlefamily homes that currently abut Gregory Lane.
As these are preliminary concept drawings and not construction documents, staff advises that the proposed safety improvements may be refined or subject to change based on the results of future studies and public feedback.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the SS4A Safety Action Plan is necessary for the City to qualify for the pursuit of federal grant funding for future transportation projects along the identified priority corridors. If the Safety Action Plan is not adopted by the City Council, the City would need to identify alternative funding sources in lieu of federal dollars to advance these projects.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public Contact was made through posting of the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department. The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Review the preliminary Draft Safe Streets for All Safety Action Plan document and associated conceptual drawings and provide staff with feedback and direction, if any. Staff will return at a later date for the City Council‘s consideration of plan adoption.
ALTERNATIVES TO RECOMMENDED ACTION
None recommended.

City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 35 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 1 Executive Summary
The City of Pleasant Hill’s Safety Action Plan is a comprehensive data-driven and communityinformed strategy for reducing roadway fatalities and severe injuries and improving safety for everyone who travels in Pleasant Hill. The Plan provides a framework for identifying, prioritizing, funding, and implementing improvements across the City’s roadway network. It combines analysis of historical crash data with input from residents, City departments, emergency responders, community organizations, schools, businesses, partner agencies, and neighboring jurisdictions. By implementing this Safety Action Plan and focusing investments where they can have the greatest impact, Pleasant Hill is taking proactive steps toward a transportation system where people of all ages and abilities can travel safely whether walking, bicycling, driving, riding transit, or using mobility devices.
The Safety Action Plan is organized around several key findings and recommendations that together create a clear path toward a safer Pleasant Hill:
Current Conditions and the Need for Action
The safety analysis included review of five years of crash data from January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2023. The analysis generally included crashes within the Pleasant Hill city limits, excluding crashes on the State Highway System such as Interstate 680. The City’s roadway network was evaluated using a number of different crash analyses and metrics to identify locations with elevated safety risk.
During the five-year study period, 360 crashes were recorded in Pleasant Hill. Three crashes resulted in fatalities and 43 resulted in severe injuries, meaning that fatal and severe-injury crashes represented approximately 13 percent of all crashes analyzed. While these crashes represent a relatively small share of all crashes, they result in the most serious and life-changing consequences for individuals, families, and the community. Fatal and severe-injury crashes also increased by an average of approximately 1.9 crashes per year during the study period, highlighting the need for proactive investments in transportation safety.
Community-Informed Planning
Community input was an integral part of the Plan and helped ensure that technical analysis was complemented by the lived experiences of residents, students, and visitors. Community engagement occurred between November 2025 and June 2026 and included two rounds of outreach, online surveys and interactive mapping, in-person pop-up events, virtual and in-person public meetings, and coordination with a Community Stakeholder Group. The outreach process was designed to inform the public, understand the community’s traffic safety concerns through lived experience, and identify the improvements residents consider most important.
The online engagement platform received a total 911 community comments and responses, including 640 interactive map comments and 271 survey responses. Pedestrian concerns represented 45 percent of mapped comments, vehicle concerns represented 28 percent, and Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 36 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 2 bicycle concerns represented 23 percent. The most frequently identified safety challenges were aggressive driving, pedestrian crossings, and bicycle lanes. The solutions most often prioritized by respondents included improved crossings with flashing beacons, stop signs, or traffic signals; completion of missing sidewalks; and slower vehicle speeds through traffic-calming measures.
Community feedback consistently emphasized the need to:
• Manage speeding and aggressive driving, particularly near schools and in residential neighborhoods.
• Improve pedestrian crossings, sidewalks, accessibility, and visibility. • Provide safer and better-connected bicycle facilities. • Address intersection operations, traffic conflicts, lighting, and sight-distance concerns. • Improve connections to schools, parks, trails, Downtown Pleasant Hill, BART, commercial destinations, and neighboring
communities.
High-Injury Network
The Plan establishes a High-Injury
Network to identify the portions of
Pleasant Hill’s roadway network
where fatal and severe-injury crashes
are concentrated. Approximately 98
percent of the City’s fatal and
severe-injury crashes occurred on
10 percent of its roadways. Focusing
resources on these corridors allows
the City to direct investments toward
locations where improvements can
have the greatest benefit.
The High-Injury Network (Figure ES-1)
includes key corridors throughout the
City where fatal and severe injury
crashes are concentrated.
Priority Safety Projects
The Plan identifies ten priority HighInjury Network corridors based on crash concentrations, injury severity,
and community concerns. These
corridors represent locations with a
high need for safety intervention and
Figure 1: Pleasant Hill High Injury Network
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 37 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 3 will serve as the initial focus for targeted safety improvements. Proposed improvements include enhanced street lighting, pedestrian and bicycle pavement markings, crossing enhancements, median and curb extensions, and traffic signal improvements. Detailed concepts for the priority corridors are provided in Appendix E of the Plan.
Engineering and Non-Infrastructure Countermeasures
The Plan includes a toolbox of proven safety improvements that the City can apply systemically or at specific locations based on roadway context, crash patterns, project feasibility, and available funding. These strategies range from physical roadway improvements, such as enhanced crossings and bicycle facilities, to operational changes that improve visibility, reduce speeding, and make intersections and roads safer. Examples include improved lighting, road diets, separated and buffered bicycle lanes, rectangular rapid flashing beacons, high visibility crosswalks, leading pedestrian intervals, pedestrian countdown heads, ADA upgrades, retroreflective signal backplates, speed feedback signs, traffic circles, and speed management treatments.
Countermeasures are organized into near-, mid-, and long-term implementation categories. Nearterm improvements generally require fewer resources and may be implemented more readily, while mid- and long-term projects may require additional procurement, engineering, permitting, or construction.
The Plan also recommends education, enforcement, and outreach strategies that address behaviors commonly associated with fatal and severe crashes, including speeding, aggressive driving, impaired driving, occupant protection, and distracted driving. These strategies include high-visibility enforcement, publicized sobriety checkpoints, nighttime seat-belt enforcement, and targeted cellphone and text messaging enforcement.
Programs, Policies, and Recommended Actions
In addition to physical improvements, the Plan recommends coordinated policies and programs organized into six categories: Programmatic and Policy Actions, Education, Enforcement, Infrastructure, Alternative Transportation, and Post-Crash Care. Priority actions include establishing an implementation funding program, continuing coordination through the Traffic Safety Commission, publishing progress reports, conducting staff training, conducting targeted speed and DUI enforcement, expanding the bicycle and pedestrian network, and improving transportation data collection and analysis.
Implementation, Evaluation, and Accountability
Implementation of the Safety Action Plan will occur over time through a combination of capital projects, policy changes, education and enforcement programs, and continued pursuit of local, state, and federal funding opportunities. Over the next three to five years, the Plan recommends emphasizing speed management and aggressive driving, vulnerable roadway users, motorcycles, and impaired driving.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 38 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 4 The City can evaluate progress by continuing to monitor crash activity, convening regular progress meetings, maintaining and updating its list of priority locations, tracking completed safety improvements, and assessing changes in fatal and severe-injury crashes and other identified safety emphasis areas. The Plan recommends updating the Safety Action Plan every five years, obtaining City Council approval for future updates to the Plan and adoption of a Vision Zero policy.
Conclusion
The Pleasant Hill Safety Action Plan represents the City’s commitment to providing a safer transportation network for its residents, workers, students, and visitors. By combining data-driven decision making with community priorities and proven safety strategies, the Plan provides a roadmap for reducing severe injury crashes and saving lives. With continued investment and implementation efforts, successful implementation will help create a safer, healthier, and more connected Pleasant Hill for current and future generations.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 39 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 5 1.Introduction
The City of Pleasant Hill’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan has several notable purposes in improving the safety of all the City’s roadway facilities. The first purpose being to identify traffic safety improvements based on a review of crash data and input from the staff, stakeholders, and the community. This project also aims to provide a foundation for a decisionmaking framework so that the City can identify, prioritize, and implement safety countermeasures from the toolbox in the following years. The report also serves as an ongoing resource for City staff as they identify and pursue funding through various programs to implement the identified safety improvements.
The Safety Action Plan summarizes the existing safety context for the City of Pleasant Hill based on crash data obtained from the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database. This data has been used to identify safety trends, high-crash locations, and locations with unusual crash patterns or high-crash severities within the City. The analysis was conducted using a network screening process for the roadway systems maintained by the City using crash records spanning a five-year period from January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2023.
Section 3 of the report describes the analysis techniques that were used and why these methods were chosen.
SS4A Grant Program
The SS4A Grant Program, established under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021), provides federal funding to support regional, local, and Tribal initiatives aimed at preventing roadway deaths and serious injuries. Administered by the U.S.
Department of Transportation (USDOT), the program aligns with the national Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries.
SS4A funding is available for both Action Plan development and Implementation projects. Action Plans establish a data-driven framework for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing the most significant roadway safety issues in a community, while implementation grants provide resources to carry out projects and strategies identified in these plans.
For the City of Pleasant Hill, participation in the SS4A program provides an opportunity to wholistically examine safety throughout the city and create a transformative plan in the Safety Action Plan. By leveraging federal resources, the City can identify local crash trends, evaluate safety challenges, and establish evidence-based strategies to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes. This collaborative planning effort not only strengthens eligibility for future implementation funding but also supports long-term goals of improving roadway safety, enhancing mobility for all users, and fostering a safer, more resilient City.
Safe Systems Approach
The Safe System Approach (SSA) is the guiding framework for roadway safety in the United States, promoted by the USDOT and central to the SS4A program. The approach acknowledges that while human errors are inevitable, roadway deaths and serious injuries are preventable. Rather than placing sole responsibility on road users, the SSA emphasizes designing a transportation system Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 40 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 6 that anticipates mistakes and reduces crash forces to prevent fatal or life-altering outcomes. The approach is built around five core elements:
Safe Roads – Designing and operating
roadways that prioritize safety for all
users.
Safe Speeds – Managing speeds to
reduce the likelihood and severity of
crashes.
Safe Vehicles – Promoting vehicle
technologies and standards that
protect occupants and vulnerable
road users.
Safe Road Users – Encouraging safe
behaviors through education,
enforcement, and equitable policies.
Post-Crash Care – Ensuring timely,
effective emergency response to
reduce the severity of injuries.
By applying these principles, the SSA shifts from a reactive to a proactive safety strategy, focusing on system-wide improvements rather than isolated fixes. For the City of Pleasant Hill adopting the Safe Systems Approach ensures that roadway design, policy decisions, and safety strategies consider all users—drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders alike. This comprehensive, human-centered framework supports the City’s efforts to move toward zero fatalities and serious injuries, while creating safer and more equitable transportation networks for the community.
Vision Zero
Vision Zero is an international traffic safety movement that originated in Sweden in the 1990s and has since been adopted by cities and regions across the United States. The core principle of Vision Zero is that no loss of life on our roadways is acceptable. Unlike traditional approaches that often view traffic deaths and severe injuries as inevitable, Vision Zero establishes the ethical imperative that the transportation system must be designed to prioritize human life and health.
Vision Zero strategies emphasize proactive, systemic safety improvements that account for human mistakes and vulnerabilities. The initiative promotes safer roadway design, equitable enforcement, community engagement, and policies that encourage safe speeds and protect the most vulnerable users, such as pedestrians and bicyclists. Across the U.S., adoption of Vision Zero has accelerated in recent years as communities recognize the need for bold, measurable commitments to eliminate severe and fatal crashes.
For the City of Pleasant Hill, Vision Zero would provide both a unifying goal and a policy framework that aligns with federal initiatives like the SS4A Grant Program and the SSA. By embracing Vision Zero, the City may affirm their commitment to a future where residents and visitors alike can travel safely—whether by car, bicycle, foot, or transit—without the risk of death or life-changing injury.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 41 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 7 2.Community Engagement
The Public Engagement Plan developed for the Pleasant Hill Safety Action Plan included strategies and activities to reach a broad cross-section of the community throughout the City. The plan included two rounds of public outreach as well as extensive stakeholder engagement with agency partners and interested parties. Outreach and engagement efforts occurred between November 2025 and June 2026 and consisted of three main components:
1. In-person pop-up events
2. Virtual and in-person Public Meetings
3. Online Pleasant Hill Safety Action Plan Survey and Interactive Map hosted on engagement platform PublicCoordinate
In person public engagement officially launched on November 11, 2025, with the first pop-up event held at Light Up the Night on Crescent Drive. The project team later attended the Earth Day pop-up on April, 23, 2026. The in-person efforts consisted of two pop-ups and two public meetings over a six-month period at various community hubs in Pleasant Hill.

Online Community Outreach
Pleasant Hill residents were invited to participate in an online map survey that gave users the option to comment on pedestrian, bicycle, transit and vehicle concerns that they experienced throughout the city. Users could drag and drop their safety concerns to specific locations. These comments were then later considered in the development of safety improvement strategies.
The online survey engagement resulted in a total of 911 contributions. The online interactive map had 640 contributors and site-specific comments recorded, and the survey form received 271 contributions. Two pop-up events within Pleasant Hill aided participation in the online survey platform in addition to the in-person interactive poster board. Comments and surveys received during online engagement can be found in Appendix A.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 45 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 11 Figure 5 — Online Interactive Map Platform
Online surveys collected from various efforts revealed that the majority of the respondents live within Pleasant Hill. Most respondents noted that they mainly drive solo as their primary mode of travel, with a large handful of participants noting that they mainly walk and bike. Survey participants expressed that they feel the safest as a driver when traveling through Pleasant Hill. The top three safety challenges expressed by survey users were:
1. Aggressive driving,
2. Pedestrian crossings, and
3. Bicycle lanes.
When asked how conditions could be made safer for people traveling through Pleasant Hill, the top three solutions were: 1) add crosswalks with flashing beacons, stop signs, or traffic signals at intersections, 2) complete missing sidewalks, 3) slower vehicular traffic/traffic calming. A combination of these top three improvements was selected the most often, but all remained within the top three.

Key Themes from the Survey
Out of the 911 comments received from the online survey platform, key areas of focus and themes were as follows:
1. Speeding and Aggressive Driving Near Schools and Neighborhoods The strongest and most recurring theme was excessive vehicle speed, particularly around school routes and residential streets. Residents repeatedly cited speeding on corridors such as Patterson Boulevard, Lucille Drive, Oak Park Boulevard, Pleasant View Drive, Putnam Boulevard, Taylor Boulevard, and Pleasant Hill Road. Many comments expressed concerns regarding children walking or biking to school and safety during drop-off and pick-up periods.
Areas of focus:
• School-zone traffic calming
• Lower operating speeds on neighborhood streets
• Speed feedback signs, speed humps, and enforcement
• Safer routes to schools
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 47 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 13 2. Unsafe Pedestrian Crossings
Many respondents identified crosswalks and intersections where drivers fail to yield, visibility is poor, or pedestrians have difficulty crossing busy roadways. Numerous comments referenced children and families feeling unsafe when crossing streets, even at marked crossings. Requests for flashing beacons, pedestrian signals, refuge islands, and improved crossing treatments were common.
Areas of focus:
• High-visibility crosswalks
• Pedestrian beacons and signals
• Safer school crossings
• Improved driver yielding behavior
3. Sidewalk Gaps and Pedestrian Infrastructure Deficiencies Residents frequently noted locations where sidewalks are missing, incomplete, too narrow, or poorly connected. Concerns were especially concentrated along routes used by children walking to school and in residential areas where pedestrians must share space with vehicles.
Areas of focus:
• Filling sidewalk gaps
• Completing pedestrian networks
• Improving accessibility and visibility
• Creating safer walking environments in residential neighborhoods
4. Bicycle Safety and Connectivity
Bicycle-related comments highlighted concerns about missing bike lanes, unsafe crossings, conflicts with vehicles, and inadequate facilities near schools and major destinations.
Respondents expressed concern about children biking to school, bike lane discontinuities, and difficult crossings on corridors such as Oak Park Boulevard, Putnam Boulevard, Taylor Boulevard, and the freeway overpass area near BART access.
Areas of focus:
• Protected or enhanced bike facilities
• Safer bicycle crossings
• Better connections to schools, parks, trails, and BART • Reduced conflicts between bikes and vehicles
5. Intersection Safety, Traffic Operations, and Visibility A significant number of comments focused on dangerous intersections, confusing turning movements, congestion, poor sight distance, inadequate lighting, signal timing issues, and Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 48 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 14 visibility problems caused by vegetation or parked vehicles. Residents frequently requested traffic signals, improved signage, lighting, and intersection redesigns.
Areas of focus:
• Intersection control improvements
• Signal upgrades and coordination
• Better lighting and visibility
• Turn-movement and conflict reduction
The public feedback indicates that Pleasant Hill residents are primarily concerned with speed management, school-area safety, pedestrian crossings, bicycle safety, and intersection improvements. Across both the survey and map-based comments, there is a strong emphasis on protecting children and families traveling to and from schools, creating safer walking and biking conditions, and reducing speeding on neighborhood streets. The most frequently suggested solutions include traffic calming, improved crossings, new sidewalks, enhanced bicycle facilities, better lighting, and intersection upgrades.

A critical step in developing a comprehensive Safety Action Plan (SAP) is conducting a detailed analysis of local crash trends, roadway conditions, and community safety challenges. The safety analysis provides the basis of evidence to guide decision-making, helping the City identify where and why severe and fatal crashes are occurring, and which populations or roadway users are most affected.
Using a network screening process, locations within the City that would most likely benefit from safety enhancements were identified. The outcome of this analysis helps inform the identification and prioritization of engineering and non-infrastructure safety countermeasures that are most likely to improve roadway safety in the City of Pleasant Hill. The network screening process ranks intersections and roadway segments by the number of crashes that occurred at each location 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.
Analysis methods such as the Critical Crash Rate (CCR) and Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) were also used to determine crash frequency and severity at each location. The results of the network screening analysis are shown within this section. The appendices associated with this section present all of the intersections and roadway segments with three or more crashes within the five-year study period from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023. The following sections describe the data analysis process.
Data Collection
Crash data were retrieved from University of California, Berkeley’s, Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS). TIMS was developed starting in 2003 as a tool for agencies to retrieve geocoded collision data from the California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS). SWITRS is a database that collects and processes statewide collision data.
Crashes were limited to those that occurred within the City of Pleasant Hill limits during the 5-year study period from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023. Crashes that occurred on the State Highway System (e.g., Interstate 680) were omitted. An exception to include crashes that occurred beyond the City limits was made on a case-by-case basis if the crash occurred near the City limits and was likely to have been influenced by the City’s local roadway network. The City of Pleasant Hill Police Department reviewed the crash data prior to the crash analysis to verify consistency with local records.
City Collision Trends
Table 1 shows the number of crashes by severity that occurred in the City of Pleasant Hill from 2019 to 2023. Of the 360 total crashes that occurred in the City during the study period, three resulted in fatalities while 43 resulted in severe injuries representing a combined 13% of all crashes. The majority of crashes (59%) resulted in other visible injuries, while nearly a third (28%) of crashes resulted in complaints of pain. The three crashes that resulted in fatalities included a Item 10.1

Note: Property-damage only crashes were not included in the analysis as the study is focused on higher-severity crashes that result in injuries or fatalities to roadway users.
The crashes are additionally mapped by severity in Figure 16.
Figure 13 shows the number of crashes by year over the five-year study period. Fatal and Severe Injury crashes exhibit a trend of gradual growth during the study period. Fatal and severe crashes grew at an average of approximately 1.9 crashes per year. In contrast, the total number of crashes dropped from 75 in 2019 to 59 in 2020. The total number of crashes then grew to 64 in 2021 and then to 82 in 2022 before leveling off in 2023. The drop in the total number of crashes is likely an effect caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, during which vehicle-miles traveled in the United States decreased dramatically due to shelter-in-place policies being in effect.

SHSP Statewide Comparison Table
The California Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) focuses on 16 challenge areas identified by the SHSP Executive Leadership and Steering Committees after an in-depth analysis of California fatal and severe injury crash data as well as an extensive statewide outreach process involving hundreds of diverse traffic stakeholders around the state.
Table 2 displays a comparison of challenge areas in which Pleasant Hill has a higher percentage of crashes compared to the State of California. Based on Table 2, the City is challenged in the following areas: aging drivers (≥65), intersections, aggressive driving, and bicyclists. In each of these areas, the City has a disproportionate and higher share when compared to the State. For example, aging drivers (≥65) made up 17.6 percent more of the fatal and serious injury crashes in Pleasant Hill than those of the State.

• The figures in the ranking column show as two numbers divided by a slash. The first number is that city’s ranking in that category. The second number is the total number of cities/counties within that “Group”. For instance, if you see “18/93”, that means that city ranks 18th out of 93 cities of similar size.
• Number 1 in the rankings is the highest, or “worst”. A ranking of 1/93 is the highest or worst. 52/93 is average, and 93/93 is the lowest or best.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 64 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 30 • City rankings are for incorporated cities only, for local streets in those cities, and state highways that run through cities with shared jurisdiction with the CHP and the city. City rankings do not include numbers of crashes, killed or injured on freeways and on state highways where cities do not have jurisdiction.
• *Composite is an aggregate ranking of several other rankings, including Had Been Drinking 21-34, Had Been Drinking Under 21, Alcohol Involved, Hit & Run, Nighttime, and Speed. Composite is meant to give an indication of overall traffic safety.
Equivalent Property Damage Only and Critical Crash Rate The equivalent property damage only (EPDO) method is used to quantify crash activity along local roadway network facilities on a consistent basis. Crashes are assigned dollar costs depending on their severities and locations as shown in Table 4.
Table 4 - Crash Cost by Severity
Crash Severity Severity* Facility Type Crash Cost Weighting Factor
Fatal or Severe Injury
3 Signalized Intersection $2,162,000 120.1
3 Non-signalized Intersection $3,440,000 191.1
3 Roadway Segment $2,978,000 165.4
Other Visible Injury 2 Any $193,000 10.7
Complaint of Pain 1 Any $110,000 6.1
Property Damage Only 0 Any $18,000 1.0

EPDO is calculated by multiplying the number of crashes of a particular severity and facility type by its respective crash costs or weighting factors, dividing the product with the crash cost or weighting factor of a property damage only, and summing the quotient with those of other crashes of particular severities and facility types.
Using weighting factors developed from the crash cost by severity, EPDO values for each intersection and segment were calculated by multiplying the respective number of crashes by severity with their respective weighting factors. Additionally, critical crash rate differentials for intersections and segments were computed by taking the difference between each intersection and segment and expected statewide crash rates of similar facilities.
The EPDO values and Critical Crash Rates (CCR) for each intersection and segment in Pleasant Hill with at least three (3) crashes recorded during the 5-year study period from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2023, are shown in Appendix C and Appendix D respectively.
The following facilities had the highest EPDO values and positive CCR differentials (i.e., had higher crash rates than the statewide average):

As part of the safety analysis, the City of Pleasant Hill has identified a High Injury Network (HIN) to identify roadways throughout the City which experienced a disproportionate number of injury crashes and fatalities to guide safety improvements where they are needed most. Ninety eight percent of Pleasant Hill’s severe injury and fatal crashes occurred on 10 percent of the City’s roadways. By focusing on these high-risk corridors and intersections, the City can make the biggest impact in reducing severe injuries and fatalities.
Figure 19 presents the City’s HIN with fatal and severe injury crashes overlayed, and Table 5 lists the HIN segments.

The following sections provide more information on potential engineering and non-infrastructure safety countermeasures that might address conditions that were observed to contribute to crash activity in the City of Pleasant Hill.
Engineering Countermeasures
The following sections contain a description of Crash Modification Factors (CMFs) and Crash Reduction Factors (CRFs) associated with the engineering countermeasures toolbox.
Crash Modification Factors
When identifying potential systemic safety improvements, it is important to look at CMFs for the proposed improvements. The CMF Method is found in Part D of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM).
CMFs are defined as the ratio of effectiveness of one condition in comparison to another condition and represent the relative change in crash frequency due to a change in one specific condition. In other words, a CMF is a multiplicative factor used to compute the expected number of crashes after implementing a given countermeasure at a specific site. Countermeasures with CMFs less than one are expected to reduce crashes if applied, while those countermeasures with CMFs greater than one are expected to increase crashes. Figure 20 illustrates the definition of CMFs.
Figure 20 — CMF Calculation
A Crash Reduction Factor (CRF) is similar to a CMF but stated in different terms. A CRF is defined as a percentage of crash reduction that might be expected after the implementation of a given countermeasure at a specific site. In application, the higher a CRF value is, the more effective the countermeasure is at preventing crashes. Figure 21 shows how a CRF is calculated in relationship to a CMF.
Figure 21 — CRF Calculation
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 69 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 35 The CMF Method is used to calculate the expected number of crashes by taking the observed number of crashes and multiplying those crashes by the applicable CMF for the proposed countermeasure. It is recommended that CMFs be applied to a minimum of three years of crash data for urban and suburban sites and five years of crash data for a rural site. Figure 22 is a sample calculation of the CMF method with one CMF being applied to a particular site for a single year.
Figure 22 — CMF Method Sample Calculation
Caution should be used in the selection of appropriate CMFs. The following guidance should be considered when selecting CMFs for predictive crash analysis:
▪ CMFs should be selected from the HSM Part D, the LRSM, or from the FHWA CMF Clearinghouse website (http://www.cmfclearinghouse.org). ▪ Read the countermeasure abstract to determine if the CMF is applicable to the proposed improvement.
▪ Only CMFs with a four-star rating or higher should be considered for use in analysis. ▪ Be sure the selected CMF is applicable to the set of crash data being used for analysis.
Some CMFs may only be applicable to a subset of the crash data. ▪ The application of multiple CMFs can overestimate the expected crash reduction.
Unless each CMF addresses independent crash types, multiple CMFs should not be used. It is suggested that no more than three independent CMFs be applied to a particular site.
▪ The countermeasures proposed in this SAP were chosen because of their effectiveness in reducing crashes.

Non-Infrastructure Countermeasures
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Countermeasures that Work, Ninth Edition, is a reference to assist safety stakeholders in selecting effective, science-based noninfrastructure traffic safety countermeasures for major highway safety problem areas. While many of the countermeasures are more appropriate to apply at the state-level or require legislative modifications to implement, Table 8 contains countermeasures that have demonstrated effectiveness. Note that while there are several other non-infrastructure countermeasures available, only those which have an effectiveness rating of four stars or higher are presented.
Access to Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training for law enforcement are not included but can also be considered.

5.Safety Projects
The City of Pleasant Hill has identified ten (10) priority project locations along the HIN based on a combination of factors, including high concentrations of crashes, the severity of injuries, and community feedback of safety concerns. These locations, which are presented in Figure 22 and listed in Table 9, represent areas with the greatest need for intervention and are the focus of targeted safety improvements outlined in this Plan. By addressing these corridors first, the City aims to make measurable progress toward reducing severe injuries and fatalities on its streets.
The safety improvements proposed as part of the Safety Action Plan are intended to reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries on the HIN. Improvements proposed as part of this plan include enhanced street lighting, improved pavement markings for pedestrians and bicycles, median and curb extensions, and traffic signal improvements. Appendix E contains concept exhibits and planning-level cost estimates for the safety improvements proposed as part of this Safety Action Plan.

The City of Pleasant Hill has taken meaningful steps to prioritize road safety and has successfully integrated these approaches into numerous programs, policies, and practices. This SAP includes an assessment of both the existing and the identified opportunities to enhance programs, policies, and practices to address road safety more comprehensively. Appendix F provides a summary of the existing programs, policies, and practices, as well as the recommended enhancements. The City and stakeholders should collaborate to discuss these policy modifications and set tangible goals for implementation.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 85 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 51 8.Implementation and Evaluation
Implementation
Implementation of the SAP can be accomplished through development and implementation of safety improvement projects and strategies, the establishment of new/updated policies and programs, and development/strengthening of relationships with stakeholders. With regard to projects, the following section identifies potential focus areas for the City in the near-to-mid-term.
Near- and Mid-Term Focus Areas
The opportunities identified in this SAP provide more of the systemic countermeasures that can be applied within the City of Pleasant Hill. Over the next three to five years, it is recommended that the City concentrate its efforts on the following emphasis areas:
▪ Aging Drivers
▪ Speed Management and Aggressive Driving
▪ Vulnerable Road Users (Pedestrians & Bicyclists)
▪ Motorcycles
▪ Impaired Driving
Analysis conducted at the citywide level indicated that these factors were some of the most frequent influences contributing to crashes 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. Systemic projects that address these focused areas can be developed with a high benefit-tocost ratio, allowing competitive projects to be developed even at sites with little to no direct crash history, but with conditions that might contribute to future crashes.
It is recommended that the City apply for funding to implement the safety projects identified in this plan, and to implement engineering and non-engineering countermeasures at additional locations.
Appendix G presents a summary of available grant programs which may be considered.
Evaluation
The success of the SAP can be evaluated using the general process outlined below. This process can be useful to monitor progress towards implementation of safety improvement projects and strategies, and to determine when updates to the SAP should be considered. ▪ Law enforcement continues monitoring and recording of traffic incidents on local roadways.
▪ Conduct frequent progress meetings (annually or quarterly) between City staff and the working group to review the latest crash data, including assessing the effectiveness of safety countermeasures implemented, discussing ongoing traffic safety challenges, and tracking progress on plan implementation.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 86 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 52 ▪ Maintain a list of focus/priority areas where there are transportation safety concerns based on review of crash data. The list of priority and/or top crash locations can be updated as an outcome of review of updated crash data and trends.
▪ Perform an update to the plan after no more than five years. It is recommended that updates to the SAP be approved by the City Council and made available to the public in accordance with Caltrans’ Local Roadway Safety Plan guidance. Progress should be evaluated by tracking the quantity of fatal and severe injury crashes and of crashes related to identified Challenge Areas, including but not limited to: aging drivers, intersections, aggressive driving, and bicyclist crashes. Updates should also track where safety improvements have been constructed and the corresponding reduction in crashes achieved.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 87 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 53 9.Next Steps
The City of Pleasant Hill has completed this SAP to guide the process of future transportation safety improvements for years to come. The data-driven analysis process identified crash types, related primary crash factors, and locations of crashes. Emphasis areas have been identified to inform and guide further safety evaluation of the combined transportation network. These emphasis areas will guide corridor improvements, education programs, and capital improvements for the City.
Using the analyzed data and outputs from this SAP, the City can:
▪ Apply for future HSIP, SS4A, OBAG, and ATP funding cycles to implement local, systemic, and multijurisdictional infrastructure improvements. ▪ Actively seek other funding opportunities to improve safety for all modal users. ▪ Collaborate with established stakeholders, safety partners, and 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 the City.

Do you feel safe as a driver, pedestrian, or cyclist traveling in Pleasant Hill? Based on the 271 responses, people generally feel safest as drivers and least safe as cyclists, with pedestrian safety falling somewhere in between but still raising frequent concerns.
Many respondents said they feel safe or mostly safe driving, while several explicitly noted that they feel safe as a driver but not as a pedestrian or cyclist. Cyclist safety was the most consistently negative theme, with concerns about limited or disconnected bike lanes, unsafe on-street conditions, speeding vehicles, and feeling safe only on trails or separated paths. Pedestrian safety concerns were also common, especially related to speeding cars, missing or narrow sidewalks, difficult crossings, school routes, and specific roads such as Pleasant Hill Road, Gregory, Geary, Taylor, and neighborhood streets without sidewalks.

Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 96 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 A9
Many comments called out crosswalks and intersections where drivers do not stop, visibility is poor, or traffic volumes make crossing difficult. Requests included flashing beacons, stop signs, traffic signals, raised crosswalks, pedestrian islands, and improved signal timing.
5. Inadequate or unprotected bicycle infrastructure
People expressed concern that bike lanes are missing, disconnected, too narrow, poorly maintained, or only painted rather than physically protected. Gregory Lane, Pleasant Hill Road, Taylor, Oak Park, Boyd, and freeway/Caltrans crossings were frequently mentioned.
6. Cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods
Respondents described drivers using neighborhood streets to bypass congestion on freeways or arterials, creating speeding, congestion, and safety risks on streets that also serve children, pedestrians, and cyclists.
7. Need for more traffic enforcement
Many comments called for stronger enforcement of speeding, red-light running, stop-sign violations, distracted driving, illegal parking, and unsafe driver behavior, including more visible police presence and ticketing.
8. E-bike and trail user safety concerns
E-bikes and motorized bikes were a recurring concern, particularly youth riding at high speeds on streets, school grounds, and trails. Respondents also noted conflicts between cyclists, e-bikes, and pedestrians on shared trails.
9. Poor visibility, lighting, and sightline issues
Respondents cited dark streets, limited streetlighting, sun glare, blind curves, overgrown vegetation, parked cars near crossings, and unclear signage or striping as contributors to unsafe conditions.
10. Connectivity gaps for walking, biking, and trails
Many comments emphasized the lack of safe, direct connections across I-680, between Pleasant Hill and nearby communities, to schools, downtown, BART, parks, shopping areas, and along major trail corridors such as the Canal Trail and Iron Horse Trail.

PublicCoordinate Comments
Based on the 639 interactive map comments, the top 10 themes expressed are:
Please note that these 10 themes are a synthesization of all map comments, prioritizing the themes that were most frequently noted in descending order.
1. Speeding and aggressive driving
A dominant concern is that drivers are traveling well above posted speeds on both major roads and neighborhood streets, creating unsafe conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, students, and other drivers.
2. Unsafe school travel conditions
Many comments focus on school arrival and dismissal, including congestion, impatient drivers, unsafe crossings, lack of crossing guards, children biking or walking in traffic, and parents blocking or double-parking near schools.
3. Drivers failing to stop or yield
Respondents repeatedly mention cars not stopping at crosswalks, rolling through stop signs, running red lights, ignoring flashing beacons, and failing to yield to pedestrians and cyclists.
4. Lack of sidewalks and safe pedestrian space
Missing, incomplete, narrow, uneven, or poorly maintained sidewalks are a recurring concern, especially where children and families are forced to walk in the street or around parked cars.
5. Dangerous crossings and intersections
Many comments identify intersections and crosswalks that feel unsafe due to high traffic volumes, confusing layouts, wide roads, poor signal timing, lack of traffic control, or the need for flashing beacons, stop signs, traffic signals, or crossing guards.
6. Unsafe or incomplete bicycle infrastructure
Residents frequently note missing, narrow, disconnected, or unprotected bike lanes, with particular concern for children biking to school and adults biking along fast-moving corridors or freeway overpasses.
7. Poor visibility and sightline issues
Blind curves, hills, overgrown vegetation, parked cars near intersections, sun glare, dark conditions, and unclear signage or striping are often cited as reasons drivers do not see pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles in time.
8. Cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods
Several comments describe drivers using residential streets to avoid congestion, freeway delays, or school traffic, bringing higher speeds and larger traffic volumes onto streets used by children, families, and walkers.
Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 100 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 A13
9. Need for traffic calming, enforcement, and better controls Residents frequently request speed bumps, speed feedback signs, lower speed limits, red-light or stop-sign enforcement, police presence, no-turn restrictions, improved signage, and stronger parking enforcement.

Appendix G: Funding Sources
Competitive funding resources are available to assist in the development and implementation of safety projects in the City of Pleasant Hill. The City will continue to seek available funding and grant opportunities from local, state, and federal resources to accelerate their ability to implement safety improvements throughout Pleasant Hill. The following is a high-level introduction into some of the main funding programs and grants for which the City can apply.
1. Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
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. Safety improvement projects eligible for this funding include:
• New or upgraded traffic signals
• Upgraded guardrails
• Marked pedestrian 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 is available at:
https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/hsip/
HSIP Analyzer
The preferred way to calculate the BCR for the HSIP program uses Caltrans HSIP Analyzer tool in the form of an active PDF. The PDF tool contains 4 sections which are used to calculate the Benefit Cost Ratio for the Highway Safety Improvement Program. This tool can be accessed on the Caltrans website:
https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local-assistance/fed-and-state-programs/highwaysafetyimprovement-program/apply-now Projects appropriate for other state grant programs can be analyzed using the Life-Cycle Benefit Cost Analysis Model (CalB/C) which has a much more comprehensive benefit assessment tool set.Projects appropriate for other state grant programs can be analyzed using the California LifeCycle Benefit/Cost Analysis Model (CalB/C) which has a much more comprehensive benefit assessment tool set.
HSIP Eligibility
Per Chapter 9 of the Highway Safety Improvement Program, funds are eligible for projects that improve the safety of its users on any public road or publicly owned bicycle or pedestrian pathway Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 117 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 G2
or trail, or on tribal lands for general use of tribal members. HSIP looks for safety projects that can be designed and constructed expeditiously and do not require significant acquisition of rights-ofway. Proposed projects should not require extensive environmental review and mitigation.

2. Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP)
Caltrans 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:
https://dot.ca.gov/programs/local-assistance/fed-and-state-programs/active-transportationprogram
3. State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
The 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 Item 10.1
City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 118 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 G3
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.
4. California Senate Bill 1 (SB 1)
SB 1 is a 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 funding 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 subsidy for these projects through the Active Transportation Program (ATP). • Local Planning Grants: $25 million
5. California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Grants
This program has funding 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 plan) 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
6. Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
The SS4A Grant Program is a federal program established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. A total of $5 billion are available from 2022-2026 in the form of planning grants and implementation grants. Grant applications for projects that implement the Safe Systems Approach, such as those related to speed management, improvements in underserved communities, and vulnerable road users, are encouraged. Implementation grant projects must be identified in an applicant’s Item 10.1

7. Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation
(ATTAIN)
The ATTAIN program is a competitive funding initiative administered by FHWA. It aims to support the deployment, installation, and operation of advanced transportation technologies that enhance:
• Safety
• Mobility
• Efficiency
• System performance
• Intermodal connectivity
• Infrastructure return on investment.
The ATTAIN program was scoped with an annual budget of $60 million per year from FY 2022-2026 but is closed as of February 2024. Future funding is to be determined. Additional information can be found at: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure-investment-and-jobs-act/attain.cfm
8. Reconnecting Communities Pilot (RCP) Grant Program
The RCP Program was established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act with the aim of reconnecting communities that were divided or harmed by past transportation infrastructure decisions—such as highways, rail lines, or other barriers. It supports both planning and capital construction projects that restore community connectivity, improve mobility, and foster economic development.
The RCP Program has budgeted an annual average of $50 million for planning grants and $140 million for construction grants from FY 2022-2026. RCP priorities include the following:
• Access
• Facility Suitability
• Community Engagement, and Community-based Stewardship, Management, and Partnerships
• Community Development
• Extreme Weather Adaptation and Resilience
• Workforce Development and Economic Opportunity
• Planning Integration

City Council Meeting Agenda - Page 120 of 138 - Monday, September 21, 2026 G5
9. Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART)
The SMART Grant Program was established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) to fund demonstration projects that deploy advanced smart city and community technologies aimed at improving transportation efficiency and safety. The SMART program is organized into two stages, with the first stage focused on planning and prototyping projects with awards up to $2 million; stage two awards are available to stage one recipients only and can be used to further refine, scale up, or integrate the original project into the existing transportation network. Phase two awards range from $2-18 million, and the SMART Program has budgeted a total of $100 million from FY 2022-2026. More information can be found at: https://www.transportation.gov/grants/SMART
10. One Bay Area Grant (OBAG)
The OBAG program is administered by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and distributes federal transportation funding from the FHWA to projects and programs that improve safety, spur economic development, and help the Bay Area meet climate change and air quality improvement goals. The grant is currently on its fourth cycle and includes $820 million in federal funding for projects from 2027 through 2030.
More information can be found at: https://mtc.ca.gov/funding/federal-funding/federal-highwayadministration-grants/one-bay-area-grant-4-obag-4
11. Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA)
The TFCA program was established by the California Legislature in 1991 and authorized the Department of Motor Vehicles to impose a $4 surcharge on vehicles registered within the Bay Area Air District’s jurisdiction to support projects that reduce vehicle emissions. Sixty percent of the funds are earmarked for programs implemented by the Bay Area Air District. The remaining 40 percent is provided to the designated agencies responsible for distributing transportation funds within each of the nine Bay Area counties. CCTA is the designated agency for Contra Costa County and annually distributes approximately $1.5 million in TFCA funds.
More information can be found at: https://ccta.ca.gov/about-us/funding/
12. Transportation for Livable Communities (TLC)
The TLC program allocates five percent of Measure J funds to support projects that improve local access, strengthen connections between transportation and land use, and help create safer, walkable, bikeable, and transit-accessible communities. Measure J is a voter-approved 25-year extension of Measure C and implements a countywide half-cent sales tax to fund transportation programs and projects.
