Collision Profiles and Hot
Spots in San Leandro
What’s a collision profile?
COLLISION PROFILES
Collision profiles help explain types of collision trends.
Collision profiles may combine information about
roadway characteristics (e.g. speed or roadway
classification), victim demographics (e.g. age), and
proximity factors (e.g. presence of a crosswalk) to
describe common trends in the reported collisions.

Key Trends Countermeasures
Rear-End Collisions
• Traffic calming measures
(road diet, narrowing
lanes)
• Extend yellow and all red
time
Pedestrian collisions at
signalized, unsignalized, and
midblock crossings
• Increase pedestrian
visibility with upgraded
crosswalk markings
• RRFBs or PHBs where
appropriate

Non-Engineering Strategies & Partnership Opportunities
• Education/engagement with
community – extremely
effective, when paired with
engineering changes
• Safe Routes to School
• Bike East Bay
• Enforcement strategies – high
visibility enforcement (e.g.
DUI) highly effective
• Police
• Public campaign strategies –
moderately effective
• Multiple city departments
• BART and AC Transit
• Improving post-crash
response – research limited
• Police, Fire and Alameda County
EMS
Right Turns
Midblock Ped Crossing
DUI; Unsafe Speed

• Council Review and Approval October 17
• LRSP will prioritize and guide projects for future
projects and grant funding
• Project Implementation – Ongoing, 2023 and
Beyond
Questions
Potential Funding Sources
SAMPLE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Funding Source Description
MTC One Bay Area Grand
(OBAG) – Local/Regional
The OBAG program funds $375 million over 4 years. Funds will be targeted to address critical climate and focused growth goals of Plan Bay Area 2050, and used to coordinate and deploy strategies that are best suited for regional implementation.
Lifeline Transportation
Program – Local/Regional
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has created the Lifeline Transportation Program to evaluate state and federal funds to provide grants for mobility and accessibility needs in low-income communities across the Bay Area.
Caltrans Active
Transportation Program
(ATP) – State
ATP is a statewide competitive grant application process with the goal of encouraging increased use of active modes of transportation.
SB 1 Local Streets and
Roads Program (LSRP) –
State
SB 1 dedicated approximately $1.5 billion per year in new formula revenues apportioned by the State Controller to cities and counties for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system.
Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG)
Program – Federal
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a flexible program that provides communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs. Communities often use CDBG funds to construct and repair streets and sidewalks.
Safe Streets For All (SS4A)-
Federal
The SS4A program provides funding to develop the tools to strengthen a community’s approach to safety and save lives. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law established the SS4A program and approved $6 billion in funding, with $5 billion in advanced appropriations.
For fiscal year 2022, $1 billion has been made available for grants under the SS4A program.
