DEVIATION
6. COUNCIL ITEMS – Council Member Bedolla stated he wanted to bring an important point to the attention of the Tracy Press adding several citizens have voiced their concerns as of late in regard to the integrity of the reporting specifically on our Council.
Many in the community are relying on the Tracy Press to present Council discussion and decisions accurately. Consensus is while articles are written with a neutral tone there are often inconsistency of order and accuracy of events. This calls in question whether the journalist is truly neutral. It does favor senior Council Members. It simply frames votes as division when there is a simple disagreement. Council Member Bedolla thanked Council for understanding his urgency at last Monday’s special meeting as being scheduled on short notice and as head coach for one of our City’s Junior Warrior League basketball teams he was pressed for time as the meeting overlapped into the practice start time but was able to vote in support of a unanimous Council decision in favor of displaying the Pan African flag on an annual basis. Council Member Bedolla added it is mind-blowing to continue to make progress through unity and bring our communities together especially right now as we celebrate Black History Month. It was an incredible easy decision for him as well as his colleagues just like in 2021 when he voted to raise the LGBT+ and the Gold Star Flag. While small gestures, Council Member Bedolla looks forward with his Council colleagues to making Tracy continuously more inclusive for all walks of life. Council Member Bedolla wished everyone a great Super Bowl weekend.
Council Member Evans stated he received two calls and six complaint letters from the community about interactions happening at the warming center at the Sports Complex.
Last Thursday he met with the City Manager and the Assistant City Manager to discuss this issue and have recommended the City get security out there immediately. Best of intentions but it is the wrong location, and we need to figure it out and protect our kids.
Council Member Evans asked to keep thoughts and prayers with people in Turkey and Syria who have been affected by the disastrous 7.8 followed by a 7.5 earthquake.
Council Member Arriola wished everyone a happy Valentine’s Day and Super Bowl, and happy and safe next couple of three-day weekends.
5. STAFF ITEMS - Michael Rogers, City Manager reported if there is anyone still in need of FEMA assistance with claims related to the winter storm the County has opened a Disaster Recovery Center at 2101 East Earhart Avenue in Stockton that is open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily. This is an opportunity to go there and find out about the different claim processes. Residents can also go to SJReady.org for more details on the resources that are available to support any claims.

BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
The City of Tracy is committed to inclusivity and proudly serves its community members, regardless of religion, immigration status, ethnicity, race, disability, gender, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity. In 2020, in the wake of tragedies that sparked nationwide demonstrations and protests for police reform and social justice, the Tracy City Council initiated community forums on race, policing, and impacts to local youth. These forums provided opportunities for residents to voice their concerns and perspectives and hear directly from community stakeholders. In July 2020, the Tracy City Council approved a resolution condemning racial injustice and declaring Black lives matter (Attachment C) and approved the Tracy Equity and Empowerment Initiative (Attachment D) which outlines policies to prevent police violence and implement an equity-based framework for local governance.
To continue the work and vision of the Tracy Equity and Empowerment Initiative, the City issued an RFP for DEI Consultant Services to perform an assessment of the organization, establish key priorities with internal staff and stakeholders, create an action plan t o guide the work, and set measurable outcomes to determine program effectiveness. The RFP was released on Agenda Item 1.B
February 21, 2023
July 25, 2022 and staff held a virtual preproposal meeting on August 9, 2022. The proposal deadline was August 22, 2022 and nine (9) proposals were received. The City formed an internal evaluation and scoring committee to review and rank proposals, and after thorough review and discussion, MGT was selected as the top candidate.
MGT is a qualified professional consulting firm with proven expertise and hands-on experience in developing and implementing DEI programs for local governments. Since 1990, MGT has conducted over
220 studies related to DEI for cities, counties, school districts, higher education institutions, and non-profit organizations. Some of MGT’s California-based clients include the County of Sacramento, County of Santa Clara, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, City of Riverside, and the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
MGT’s
scope of work includes conducting an organizational assessment that identifies current barriers and
opportunities for supporting an inclusive organizational culture and service delivery model. The DEI assessment will evaluate key governance areas including recruitment, hiring, and retention;
promotional and career development opportunities to cultivate leaders; training to increase DEI competencies, skills, and implementation; government transparency; procurement and
budgeting procedures; land use and capital improvements; policing; boards and commissions; communication and public engagement. The formation of an equity commission may also be derived as a recommendation through the DEI assessment.
In addition to
the organizational assessment, MGT will work collaboratively with the City to develop an internally f
ocused strategic plan that identifies tailored strategies, actions, and metrics to advance the City’s culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The completion of the proposed sc
ope of work will prepare the City for additional work in the future. Future work may include conducting
an externally-focus DEI assessment with a strategic plan that addresses how
the City may serve and impact its residents with a focus on equity and inclusion.
FISCAL
IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $50,000 is currently available in the Human Resources operating budget. To fully fund the agreement with MGT of America, LLC., staff recommends that the Council appropriate $116,500 from the General Fund reserves to the Human Resources operating budget
and amend the FY 2022-23 Operating Budget to reflect such appropriation.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item supports the City Council’s adopted Tracy Equity and Empowerment Initiative.

Assessment**
Additional Service #1: COMMUNITY LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS
Stakeholder engagement is a crucial aspect of MGT’s methodology. We engage stakeholders across a multiplicity of engagement options including telephone, email, paper surveys when appropriate, and a Qualtrics web survey. Our survey is a tool that consists of approximately thirty Likert questions related to the quality of DEI at the City. Once the survey responses have been gathered, we analyze the survey data using a combination of the built -in Qualtrics analysis tools bolstered by a program called Dedoose.
Dedoose allows us to efficiently analyze open -ended survey questions while allowing MGT to take an intersectional view of respondent’s experiences with the City. This allows MGT to confidently address not only the biggest opportunities for improvement, but also allows for a robust understanding of how different experiences intersect with one another to create unique experiences for all the stakeholders surveyed.
Task A: Analysis of External Operations
MGT will conduct an external audit of the organization’s policies, practices, and impact on the residents of The City of Tracy . We will determine strengths and weaknesses of the City’s work and identify opportunities for change to elevate its success in ensuring equity for all residents without exception to one’s race, ethnicity, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identify, or religion. MGT builds upon the work of the Government Alliance on Racial Equity (GARE) by paralleling their racial equity tool to identify relevant community partners, qualitative and quantitative data, and specific analysis strategies through the indices of segregation. This will involve an analysis of quantitative and qualitative data and other information to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the impact of the Cit y’s work related to ensuring equity. A sample of the items for analysis are as follows:
External Operations
o Community engagement
o External communications
o Interactions between the City and its residents
o Breadth and access to community support programming
Policies and practices that have a disparate impact on people from traditionally marginalized communities using MGT’s Indices of Systemic Oppression which include the following:
o Access to Healthcare – locations of hospitals and free clinics, and the demographic makeups with easy access to these services.
o Neighborhood & Built Environment – The actual infrastructure of different neighborhoods and along with understanding the proximity of different demographics to capital improvements
ATTACHMENT B
o Social & Community Context – refers to the actual demographics of a community along with the histories and policies that directly impact them. o Economic Stability – The economic opportunities that are afforded to the residents of a region including data related to employment, income, coupled with select demographic indicators.
o Education Access & Success – relates to information typically housed in the school district including student demographics, graduation rates, and funding. MGT will analyze external data points of the City of Tracy community to identify inequities in practice and/or disparities that are impacting the residents of the City. Using ACS (American Community Survey) and Census data, we will be able to provide a current picture of the state of eq uity throughout the City. We will use this analysis to craft a concise reader -friendly presentation for the organization to use to drive its DEI goals and action plan.

We will seek to understand barriers and opportunities regarding pervasive inequities that are relevant to the community served by the City of Tracy . In order to provide a more comprehensive assessment that is contextualized with a 360 -degree perspective, we will seek insight from a sample of members of the following local experts:
o Local historians
o Educators (PK-12 and Higher Education)
o Business Leaders
o Healthcare providers
o Community Based Organizations
o Organizational department/division heads

ADDITIONAL SERVICE # 2: DEI EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLAN MGT believes that high quality staff training can elevate and accelerate the City’s commitment to promote and sustain a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Dr. Browne, the project’s executive has nearly two decades of experience designing meaningful, practical, and participant-centered training that meets staff where they are, while engaging them in fun, thought-provoking activities, conversations, initiatives that challenge people in a way that is inclusive, empathetic, patient, and understanding, with a sense of urgency. We believe that A) Learning is most effective when participants engage in multiple “at-bats” to practice what they’ve learned and B) Impact is maximized when learning is translated into action. To this end, each session will be composed of training facilitation, live practice, and action planning.
A key differentiator that separates MGT’s adult learning approach from other companies is the critical marriage between content knowledge and pedagogical expertise. While many consultants and trainers are competent in what participants need to learn, very few ar e skilled in the art of instruction and adult learning. Our training team includes DEI content experts as well as instructional specialists who are adept at delivering engaging sessions that create a safe space for participants to be honest, respectfully critical, self-reflective, and driven to maximize impact.
Task A: Development of DEI Decision Point Guide
In order to ensure that policy changes, budget development, and other key decisions are made with DEI in mind, we will create a customized DEI Decision Guide which will serve as a tool that the City can use to apply a DEI lens to actions taken by leaders. This will ensure a general ‘best practice’ type of approach for leaders to use in the decision-making process.

TRACY EQUITY & EMPOWERMENT INITIATIVE:
POLICY PROPOSALS FOR EQUITY & JUSTICE REFORM IN THE CITY OF TRACY I. INTRODUCTION
“From the b
eginning of the formation of the United States, government played an instrumental role in creating and maintaining racial inequities.”1 Despite progress, “many overtly discriminatory policies became illegal, but racial inequity nevertheless became embedded in policy that did not name race explicitly, yet still perpetuated racial inequities… Now, with a growing movement of government leaders examining the racial impacts of public policy on their communities, there is tremendous opportunity for the development of active policies, practices, and procedures that advance racial equity.” 2 Failing to address this issue and take action now increases the risk that injustices and inequality may occur for the most disproportionately affected groups in our community.
The policies proposed herein will address the historical factors that contribute to systemic racism and recommend strategies for dismantling such institutions and securing justice and equality for all in our community.
The City of Tracy is not immune to the existence of racism or the expression of anti-Black sentiments. Tracy was formerly one of two headquarters for the NSWPP (National Socialist White Peoples Party), a neo-Nazi group believed to have been active up until the 1980s. 3 The purpo
se of this proposal is to establish a framework that will promote racial and social equity in the City of Tracy—across its organization, departments, projects, and programs.
Equity should be accessible to anyone who works or engages with the City of Tracy, including—but not limited to — partner institutions, local schools, and beneficiaries of local funds. Injustice of all forms shall be purposefully eradicated through the administration of strategies, policies, and procedures affecting constituents and staff alike. 1 Julie Nelson & Lauren Spokane, “Advancing Racial Equity and Transforming Government,” Local & Regional Government Alliance on Race & Equity, https://www.racialequityalliance.org/wp- content/uploads/2015/02/GARE-Resource_Guide.pdf.

II. BACKGROUND
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, an African-American man, was killed by police during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A video recording of the killing, which showed one officer needlessly kneeling on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, quickly circulated around social media platforms and garnered international news coverage. In response to this killing, protests were held in cities throughout the country and the rest of the world.
Afterwards, public polls reported that 67% of Americans believe the criminal justice system favors white people over black people in the United States, an increase from 52% in 2016.
4 This massive shift in public opinion also enhanced engagement in our own community. On May 23, 2020, approximately 300 people—mostly young people —gathered at the intersection of 11th Street and Corral Hollow Road to protest the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police and to support the Black Lives Matter movement.5
To quote one organizer of this demonstration, Manuel Zapata: “People actually care about the issues and specifically how flagrantly wrong this one was… We even saw police officers across the country speaking up and some of them joining protests, so we knew that we had a lot of energy here in Tracy, and wanted to make sure that we could stand in solidarity, just against the negativity in the air, and then the constant stories of police brutality in the media. We just had to do something for our community to show our strength here.” 6 Similarly, on June 3, approximately 550 people marched from Corral Hollow Road along 11 th Street to Tracy City Hall in 103 degree heat.7 Two days later, nearly 100 gathered in front of Tracy City Hall to hold a vigil honoring the lives lost to police brutality, including George Floyd.8 Finally, on June 12, approximately 150 individuals – most of whom were youth activists – marched approximately 2.1 miles from Tracy Sports Complex to City Hall.
There, they expressed their frustration with the criminal justice system and its failure to protect Black lives. The speakers at all of these events emphasized the need for greater engagement with and accountability over local policies and elected officials. The activists urged that the demonstrations could not stop with mere marching and posting on social media, but that they must translate into policy proposals by elected officials at all levels.
While the murder of George Floyd prompted the recent protests, the calls to move towards more just and equitable systems extend beyond that single atrocity. His death was a reminder that government at all levels still has an obligation to ensure equal opportunities and protection under the law, regardless of race, religion, or other characteristics.

III. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Given the heightened public opposition to systemic inequality and governmental abuse, the City of Tracy has an opportunity and responsibility to acknowledge, address, and dismantle any structural racism or implicit inequalities that may inherently exist in the City’s own policies, programs, and practices. While our local community may have only limited experiences with overt prejudice in recent years, it is important to acknowledge a historical record that includes both explicit and implicit racism. The City of Tracy must accept the public’s call for action and act now to investigate the impacts of structural racism. The “Tracy Equity and Empowerment Initiative” is the first step towards truly promoting equity and justice in our city.
IV. SOLUTIONS
There is no simple, easy solution for dismantling systemic racism or achieving justice.
However, through its central promotional strategy, the City of Tracy already positions itself as “a great place to live, work, and play.” To this end, the City has been very intentional about efficiently responding to community concerns and continually engaging with residents through open events. Similarly, the Tracy Police Department has a record of fostering strong rapport with locals through its community policing strategy, which pushes officers to stay engaged with and visible in the neighborhoods they protect and serve.
Evaluating city strategies and policies and working together with community members and other stakeholders is integral to securing justice and equality for all in our Tracy community.
A. PUBLIC SAFETY POLICY
Modern police policies have substantially evolved over the history of our nation, and today’s best practices are evolving to acknowledge and address historic systemic racism.
Overwhelming statistical data demonstrates that People of Color, especially Black men, are arrested and convicted of crimes at disproportionately higher rates than other demographic groups. Police reform initiatives encourage law enforcement agencies to evaluate their own roles within the criminal justice system and the resources utilized to achieve such responsibilities, while seeking solutions to achieve justice and equality for all.
On June 10, 2020, the Tracy Police Department issued a press release in response to public demands for action, particularly regarding use of force policies. (See ATTACHMENT A.) It is important for the City Council to adapt and implement these demands in the time to come.
On June 24, 2020, a part-time Professional Standards Officer, responsible for conducting Internal Affairs investigations for the Tracy Police Department, was alleged to be involved in a private Facebook group in which he and others made comments about killing a Black
ATTACHMENT D
Lives Matter activist. The matter is currently being investigated by the FBI, and per the Tracy Police Chief, the individual is no longer serving with the department.
Given the current public sentiment, the City of Tracy has a unique opportunity and obligation to assume a leading role in the movement for greater equity and justice.
Therefore, Councilmembers Arriola & Ransom request the following policy proposals:
● ADOPT POLICIES TO PREVENT POLICE VIOLENCE.
o Substantial research has evaluated how the adoption of various policing practices result in demographic disparities in criminal justice outcomes.
Particularly, evidence-based strategies and policies should be adopted as “best practices” to ensure justice and equality for disenfranchised groups, especially African Americans. Given that research shows that “Black people are three times more likely to be killed by police than their White counterparts,” these restrictions would go a long way towards minimizing systemic disparities and injustices. 9 o Moreover, research strongly indicates that adopting specific use-of-force standards reduces police violence, increases police officer safety, and bears no negative impact on crime rates.10 These policies make officers much less likely to be killed, assaulted, or injured in the line of duty.11
o Any policy reform proposals should be assessed with stakeholder input regarding the reasonableness, practicality, and impact of reform proposals.
● EVALUATE AND CONSIDER COMMUNITY CAMPAIGNS CALLING FOR POLICE REFORM.
o Several initiatives and community campaigns seeking to address police reform have developed in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd—including the #8CantWait campaign, the #8ToAbolition campaign, and the NAACP “Ten Point Action Plan,” among others. Such initiatives have raised questions as to whether there are areas of policing that are detrimental to community trust or that are cost prohibitive. Key areas that have been considered by these community campaigns include funding reallocations, division of police services from non- criminal services; the elimination of qualified immunity; the separation of police from schools; the repeal of laws that criminalize survival—such as anti -homeless ordinances; and the development of a “care, not cops” doctrine. 9 Campaign Zero, “Policy Analysis.”

ATTACHMENT D
o Specifically, the community sentiment has generally expressed a call to action for adoption of the “#8CantWait” policy proposals:
▪ Clarifying Duty to Intervene Standards
▪ Requiring De-Escalation Training and Policies
▪ Requiring a Clear Use-of-Force Continuum
▪ Requiring All Force Be Reported
▪ Requiring Warning Before Shooting
▪ Exhausting All Alternatives Before Shooting
▪ Prohibiting Shooting at Moving Vehicles
▪ Prohibiting Chokeholds & Strangleholds
“POLICE DEPARTMENTS THAT
PLACE CLEAR RESTRICTIONS ON
WHEN AND HOW OFFICERS USE
FORCE HAD SIGNIFICAN TLY FEWER
POLICE KILLINGS THAN THOSE THA T
DID NOT HAVE THESE LIMITS IN
PLACE .”
12 o The Tracy Equity & Empowerment Initiative calls for a study and evaluation of these community campaigns with a response for their viability and effectiveness from the Tracy Police Department in the near future.
● REVIEW TRAINING FOR TRACY POLICE OFFICERS & REQUIRE
IMPLICIT BIAS AND CULTURAL COMPETENCY TRAINING.
o As policies change, it is imperative that officers receive the training necessary to actualize the goals behind these policies. Some “biases may occur at the implicit level, where people’s subconscious biases guide their choices even when they’re not fully aware of it.”
13 This is critical because “Black people

ATTACHMENT D
account for 31 percent of police killing victims, even though they make up just 13 percent of the US population.”14
o Nonetheless, the optimistic part of all this grim research is that implicit biases may be reduced over time through practice, training, and experience.15
o Notably, EPIC Officers Helping Officers is a training program used in New Orleans, LA. The program—identified in “ Subject to Debate,” Vol. 30, No. 2, a publication of the Police Executive Research Forum—is said to protect officers from inadvertent misconduct by providing practical prevention tools.
o Suggested training should include: implicit bias training; cultural competency training; the benefits of intervention and the legal risks of non-intervention; helping officers identify when intervention is necessary; teaching effective intervention strategies; teaching officers how to accept intervention respectfully; and protecting officers who intervene or accept intervention.
● REVIEW THE CITY OF TRACY’S BUDGET PRIORITIES & CONSIDER INCREASING FUNDING FOR PREVENTATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES.
o There are opportunities to more effectively deploy City resources to respond to community concerns, such as trauma inflicted by violence and addiction.
Such opportunities could include protocols such as sending trauma clinicians as co-responders when police respond to shootings or violent acts. The City of Tracy has an opportunity to better coordinate local resources and institutions. The effective allocation of resources will lead to stronger and safer communities.
o Police officers often “take the place of social workers, emergency medical personnel, and welfare caseworkers,” handling homelessness, drug addiction, and other crises despite inadequate training with any of those societal ills.16 “This moment in time and history gives us a lot of momentum to make everlasting changes within the department.”17 Notably, research indicates that “in a city of 100,000, each new nonprofit community organization leads to a 1.2 percent drop in the homicide rate, a 1 percent reduction in the violent crime rate, and a 0.7 percent reduction in the property crime rate.” 18 14 Lopez, “American Policing,” VOX, September 1, 2017, https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/29/12989428/police-shooting-race-crime. 15 Ibid.

“Expanding social and economic programs for under-resourced communities leads to an overall decrease in crime.”19 The City of Tracy has an opportunity to increase support for local organizations engaging in these types of services to further reduce crime and violence in our community.
o The Tracy Equity & Empowerment Initiative calls for a study and evaluation of the City of Tracy’s budget priorities, and consideration of increasing funding towards preventative and support services in the near future.
● ENHANCE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCESS TO PUBLIC SAFETY
POLICIES AND STATISTICS.
o Enhanced transparency in public safety policies with comprehensive and regularly scheduled data and statistics should be made available for the public to review. Such data should include information related to complaints, findings, and other significant statistics.
B. SOCIAL EQUITY POLICY
“Current inequities are sustained by historical legacies, structures, and systems that repeat patterns of exclusion.”20 While progress has been made “in addressing explicit discrimination, racial inequities continue to be deep, pervasive, and persistent across the country. Racial inequities exist across all indicators of success, including in education, criminal justice, jobs, housing, public infrastructure, and health, regardless of region.”21
Generally speaking, the systemic oppression of groups of individuals based on race, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, age, and other features have resulted in prominent and pervasive inequities in our society. Nonetheless, racial equity can be achieved when “race can no longer be used to predict life outcomes, and outcomes for all groups are improved.”
22 Public policy is the mechanism through which governments have perpetuated racial disparities and injustices throughout the history of our country. As such, public policy has a role to play in reversing that harm and ensuring justice and equality for all in our City.

Doing so will require an entire rethinking, reevaluation, and recommitment to ensure that all members of the Tracy community are supported, invested in, and valued—a goal best achieved by embedding an equity framework into every aspect of governance.
Therefore, Councilmembers Arriola & Ransom request the following policy proposals:
● ADOPT AN “EQUITY FRAMEWORK FOR GOVERNANCE” TO
ADVANCE EQUITY & JUSTICE IN ALL AREAS OF GOVERNMENT.
o This consistent evaluative lens will ensure the equitable development and delivery of future policies, programs, and services.23
o Such a commitment, in the form of a resolution, will affirm the City’s vision towards achieving social equity. Making a long-term commitment to achieving equity begins with a “declaration that all residents deserve an equitable opportunity to succeed – regardless of their race, color, sex, nationality, sexual orientation, religion, disability, income, or where they live.”
24 o This resolution shall require a commitment to opposing racism and prejudice.
The language should also (1) express a commitment to equity in City contracts and MOUs; (2) promote a safe place for employees and citizens to express concerns regarding our City’s response to issues related to race, sex, age, or sexual orientation or identity; (3) direct the City Manager to develop annual “equity plans,” which would include mandatory training for City employees and department heads; and (4) commit to improving data collection and using equity tools to examine policy and service decisions.
● REQUIRE “EQUITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT” FOR ALL CITY POLICIES, PROGRAMS, AND SERVICES.
o It will allow local “leaders to look intentionally, comprehensively, and systemically at barriers that may be creating gaps in opportunity.”25
o By requiring such analysis, the City Council will be better equipped to introduce and consider legislation to support all Tracy residents. The analysis will evaluate the proposed policy and offer recommendations or explore other policy options when appropriate. The analysis will be required to consider the impact of proposed legislation through an equity lens, including race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and identity, 23 Fairfax County, Virginia, One Fairfax, https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/topics/one-fairfax. 24 Fairfax County, Virginia, One Fairfax, https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/topics/one-fairfax. 25 Fairfax County, Virginia, One Fairfax, https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/topics/one-fairfax.

socioeconomic status, and geographic location. This analysis should also include an examination of the historical context of the policy in question.
o This requirement will push all government agencies to rethink the way they create and implement policy, while also normalizing and prioritizing equitable outcomes in all public decision-making. Prior to voting on any local legislation, the City Council should know what the proposal will do, how much it will cost taxpayers, and how it will impact all demographics of Tracy residents.
o All municipal departments should also directly consider equity in their decisions. Many cities have initiated work to promote racial equity and social justice throughout their governmental structures. Cities that do not directly address such issues can inadvertently perpetuate harmful educational, health, and financial inequities.
● ESTABLISH A “GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY COMMISSION” FOR THE CITY OF TRACY.
o This commission would make evidence-based recommendations for local reform and monitor outcomes, with special focus on racial equity and social justice. It would also identify existing government policies that could be changed to address historical and contemporary inequities.
o The commission should be composed of individuals with policy-area expertise to study and provide recommendations on how to address the opportunities our City may have to enhance equity in all areas. Areas of interest may include housing fairness and accountability, landlord/tenant laws, environmental justice, and other socially responsible policy practices.
o The commission should collect and use data and metrics, so the City of Tracy can develop equity plans while sharing information, tracking progress, and achieving results.
V. CONCLUSION
Ultimately, the proposed public safety and social equity policies must be prioritized by the City of Tracy to accomplish the goal of achieving justice and equality for all in our City.
Therefore, Councilmembers Arriola and Ransom request that all of these policy proposals be considered and adopted by the Tracy City Council to address the issue of systemic racism and prejudice in our community.

Agenda Item 1.C
RECOMMENDAT
ION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a Master Services Agreement with Crossroads, Inc. for the installation, implementation, training, and annual maintenance of automated traffic collision and citation technology for a term of five (5) years and a total not to exceed amount of $180,000, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement and any amendments.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This staff report is to prov ide the City Council with background information supporting a services agreement with Crossroads , I nc. for the implementation, training and annual maintenance of traffic c ollision and citation technology for use by the Tracy Police Depart
ment.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
In 2021, the Department transitioned from West Covina Service Group’s (WCSG) records management system
and computer aided dispatch system to our current vendor, Mark
43. This
transition helped the Department move closer to its goal of becoming more “paperl
ess” in its record management, however, this left the Department lacking in traffic
collision data to support the Department’s annual report, applications for traffic safety grants, and other statistical data as Mark 43 does not capture or report the information in the manner that WCSG did and requires staff to conduct manual tabulations.
Presently, the Department completes collision reports in two formats. Officers not assigned to the Traffic Safety Unit complete reports on paper forms provided by the California Highway Patrol. Traffic Safety Unit officers complete reports electronically through a separate system called Brazos. Traffic Unit reports are often more complex and lengthier due to the severity of the collision.
Patrol officers and other personnel also issue paper citations, while Traffic Safety Unit officers utilize Brazos and issue electronic citations with a handheld “e-t icket” writer and thermal printer and provide the driver or violator with a paper copy.
As it relates to traffic stops, officers are also required to collect “stop data” under the Racial and Identity Profiling Act or RIPA (PC 13012 and 13519.4, GC 12525.5) currently reported via
Mark 43 software.
ANALYSIS
When the Brazos suite of handheld “e-wr iters” and thermal printers were purchased, the use of the devices was optional and in general officers found the “e-writers” cumbersome and difficult to use due to their design. The “e-writers” were upgraded but only for the Traffic Safety Unit as, at the time, it was viewed they would be the only unit Agenda Item 1.C
February 21, 2023
to benefit from them and because few officers were using them before the upgrade due to the design not
being user-friendly.
Currently, the records department is processing both paper and Brazos generated citations and collision reports. This inefficiency forces staff to input information into the Department’s records management system from two sources, and since the transition to Mark 43, crash data is not captured in the manner it was with WCSG. To provide statistical data for annual reports to Council, other informational requests, and for traffic safety grants, staff is, often times , f orced to hand collect data from c ollision reports. Grant applications typically require several years of statistical history to support a specific request for funding.
Once Crossroads, Inc. is acquired, the use of electronic citations and paperless crash report writing would be implemented Department wide. This would result in standardization across the Department, increased efficiency for the Records Department in collecting and disseminating crash data, increased efficiency for officers in the field, and citations would be submitted to the court system electronically. The Department would no longer incur costs related to ordering standardized state crash forms, and the costs of having Department citations supplied by a printer.
Additionally, the “e-ticket” writer hardware would be condensed into an application used by officers on existing smartphones they are currently issued, and this would reduce the pieces of equipment they are required to carry in the field. Thermal printers originally purchased with the Brazos suite are compatible with Crossroads, Inc. and have an estimated remaining life span of approximatel y three years. It is estimated there is a savings of approximately $45,000 by using the printers the Department already has.
State mandated collection of stop data or RIPA, would also be completed using the Crossroads, Inc. software from the smart phone at the conclusion of a qualifying police contact with a community member and the data would be directly uploaded to the Department of Justice. At point in time, officers are required complete RIPA reports via Mark 43, and traffic safety unit officers do not have this capability in the field as they lack a mobile data computer on their motorcycles, which is cost-prohibitive at this time.
The Department sought out traffic collision software bids through our current vendor, Mark 43; however due to problems encountered by the vendor they were not able to offer a sufficient product. The Department
also researched and reviewed presentations from
two other vendors. Crossroads, Inc. was the sole vendor who offered the full scope of services and interface
with our CAD/RMS system. Pursuant to Tracy Municipal
Code section 2.20.180(b)(2), the formal request for proposals process is not required because Crossroads, Inc. was determined to be a sole source vendor.
FISCAL IMPACT
Total
project costs over a period of five years:
• First-year cost $128,600
• Maintenance $39,000 ($7,800 per year x 5 years)
Agenda Item 1.C
February 21, 2023
Funding is p rovided through the Police Department’s operating budget i n the General Fund.
PUBLIC OUTREACH/INTEREST
The Department is in continuous receipt of feedback from the public regarding traffic concerns and traffic safety. Acquisition of this technology would increase the efficiency in which the Department maintains and accesses, and provides data related to traffic safety to Council,
the public and Department members, and to better deploy its resources to address traffic concerns.
COORDINATION
The Department has coordinated internally among the Bureau of Support Operations, Bureau of Field Operations, and Information Technology, and externally with Mark 43 and Crossroads, Inc.
CEQA DETERMINATION
CEQA is not applicable for this proposed project.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This agenda item relates to Council’s strategic priority for Public Safety.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving a Master Services Agreement with Crossroads, Inc. for the installation, implementation, training, and annual maintenance of automated traffic collision and citation technology for a term of five (5) years and a total not to exceed amount of $180,000, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement and any amendments.

Agenda Item 1.E
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution approving the Local Roadway Safety Plan and setting a Vision Zero goal for 2050.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City of Tracy has completed a Loca l Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP), which establishes a framework to identify, analyze, and develop traffic safety enhancements on the City’s transportation system. The LRSP was developed with a combination of data analysis, and local stakeholder feedback to create a plan that meets federal and state guidelines and responds to local issues and needs. Vision Zero is an international road safety movement rooted in the philosophy that no loss of life due to road crashes is acceptable or inevitable. This agenda item with City Council approval will adopt the City’s Local Roadway Safety Pl an and set a Vision Zero goal for the City for the year 2050.
BACKGROUND AND LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
Caltrans announced that starting April 2022, applications for Highway Safety Improvement Project Program (HSIP) Cycle 11 funds will require agencies that are eligible to apply to have a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP). The City received $72,000 State funds for developing the LRSP in March 2020. The City entered into an agreement with Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc. for the development of the LRSP through Resolution No. 2021-097 under the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) 72119. The development of the LRSP will better position the City to apply
for all safety funding from state and federal grant programs. A special concurrent meeting of the Tracy City Council and the Tracy Transportation Advisory Commission was held on February
7, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. in the City of Tracy’s Council Chambers to present the LRSP and receive feedback from the community.
Vision Zero is a global movement to end traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries by taking a systemic approach to road safety. The premise of this strategy is tha t road deaths and injuries are unacceptable and preventable. First implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, Vision Zero has proved successful across Europe — and now it’s gaining momentum in major American cities like New York, San Francisco, and San Jose. California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) also adopted a policy on February 15, 2022, that commits to setting a vision to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries on California’s roadways by 2050 and provide safer outcomes for all communities.
ANALYSIS
The City of Tracy’s LRSP has now been com pleted. The LRSP evaluates the transportation net
work as well as non-infrastructure programs and policies and identifies the vision to reduce the frequency of traffic fatalities and serious injury related crashes and outlines t he goals to achieve it. It was developed in accordance with the latest National and State best practices for statistical roadway analysis. As part of the LRSP, local stakeholders were included in the process to ensure the local perspective was kept at the forefront of this planning effort. I n addition to the Project Team which included Engineering Staff, a stakeholder group was Agenda Item 1.E
February 21, 2023
organized. This group consisted of members from the Tracy Police Department, Tracy Unified School District, City of Tracy ADA Compliance Office, the South San Joaquin County Fire Authority, San Joaquin County Public Health Services, and the City of Tracy Transit Service Division. These leaders in the City and community were called together to offer insight on the safety issues present in the City's transportation network.
Existing plans, policies, and projects that were recently completed, planned, or are on-going within the City of Tracy were compiled, high-level key points regarding transportation improvements and safety-related topics were identified, and several data inputs were used in analysis, namely the roadway network, intersection classification, traffic counts and collision data for
the period between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019. With this data the collision safety trends were analyzed. The analysis of collision history on the City’s transportation network
allowed 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 safe driver behavior, reduce the frequency and severity of crashes, and to institutionalize a process for monitoring safety and making safety investment decisions. A special concurrent meeting of the Tracy City Council and the Tracy Transportation Advisory Commission was held on February 7, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. in the City of Tracy’s Council Chambers to present the LSRP and receive feedback from the community.
Vision Zero is an international road safety movement rooted in the philosophy that no loss of life due to road crashes is acceptable or inevitable. A core principle of Vision Zero is that people should not
be killed or severely injured due to mobility. Crashes are not accidents; that is, they are entirely preventable if the transportation system is designed to minimize the consequences of human errors and mistakes. As stated in the LRSP, during the 5-year study period, the City has s
een 3,442 collisions, of which 9 were fatal collisions, 81 pedestrian involved collisions, and 102 bicycles collisions. Vision Zero sets the goal of reducing traffic-related fatalities and severe injuries to zero. While zero crashes may sound unrealistic, the objective is to set this as a goal rather
than an expectation.
Vision Zero is gaining momentum across the United States. Currently there are 53 cities in the US that are officially members of the Vision Zero Network with completed Vision Zero plans, 13 of which are in California. Vision Zero Network is a non-profit that is the nation’s leading voice and advocate for Vision Zero. Many other cities in the US have developed Vision Zero plans or adopted resolutions to support Vision Zero goal but haven’t yet joined the Network. It is recommended that in alignment with this global movement, and in solidarity with the adopted Caltrans policy
, City set a goal for attaining Vision Zero in the year 2050.
FISCAL
IMPACT
The Development of the LRSP makes the City better positioned to apply for a variety of state and federal
grant opportunities for traffic safety projects.

3 1.1 Executive Summary
Tracy has created a local roadway safety plan (LRSP), which establishes a framework to identify, analyze, and develop traffic safety enhancements on the City’s transportation system.
The LRSP was developed with a combination of data analysis, and local stakeholder feedback to create a plan that meets federal and state guidelines and responds to local issues and needs.
Through this process, the plan has identified emphasis areas to inform and refine the safety improvement process and to focus future evaluation and planning for the City’s transportation network. The emphasis areas include impaired driving, lane departure collisions, young drivers, and vulnerable road users (pedestrians and bicyclists). 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 city-wide trends and patters. 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, reduce the frequency and severity of crashes, and to institutionalize a process for monitoring safety and making safety investment decisions.
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) has ranked Tracy in the 57th percentile for safety as compared to peer cities. The City continues its safety efforts in this LRSP by identifying areas of emphasis and systemic opportunities that can be implemented to enhance safety. This LRSP analyzes the most recent range of crash data (January 1, 2015 – December 31, 2019) and roadway improvements to assess historic trends, patterns, and areas of increasing concern.
As part of the LRSP development process, the City identified a vision and outlined goals to achieve it. The vision is to enhance the transportation network to reduce the frequency of traffic fatalities and serious injury related crashes. 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. • Define safety improvements for the near -, mid- and long-term, including projects for HSIP and other program funding consideration
• Identify emphasis areas to prioritize countermeasure application.
Tracy’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 collisions . 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.

5 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. Impaired Driving
2. Lane Departure Collisions
3. Young Drivers
4. Vulnerable Road Users (Pedestrians and Bicyclists)
The LRSP identified countermeasures for both infrastructure and non- infrastructure improvements. The report then applies Crash Modification Factor’s (CMFs) where available, which are used to estimate the safety effects of safety improvements to compare and prioritize the improvements. An order of magnitude planning level cost estimate is also provided for each countermeasure, providing a cost/benefit estimate that the City can use to prioritize improvements.
Site-specific opportunities for improvement were identified for the following 8 case study locations. The case study locations were chosen to be representative of a variety of corridor and intersection designs throughout the City.
1. Unsignalized Intersection: F Street & 11th Street
2. Unsignalized Intersection: Parker Avenue & Eaton Avenue
3. Roadway Segment: Holly Drive from Larch Road to Sloan Court
4. Roadway Segment: Pavilion Parkway from Robertson Drive to Auto Plaza Way
5. Signalized Intersection: Naglee Road & Grant Line Road
6. Roadway Segment: Grant Line Road from Lammers Road to Byron Road
7. Roadway Segment: Byron Road from Berg Road to Belconte Drive
8. Signalized Intersection: Lowell Avenue & Corral Hollow Road
9. Roadway Segment: Lammers Road from 11th Street to Redbridge Road
10. Roadway Segment: Tracy Boulevard from Schulte Road to Menay Drive Citywide opportunities that can be implemented systemically throughout the City have also been assembled into the “countermeasure toolbox” shown below, and include both engineering-based and non-engineering countermeasures. This information can be used to help the City apply for grants and other funding opportunities to implement these safety improvements.

11 2 Introduction
Tracy is a vibrant community in southern San Joaquin County, known for its rich history and proximity to the San Francisco Bay area. Tracy has a population of around 93,000 residents, and a median age of 34 years. With an economy based on retail, light manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare, the City has varied transportation needs.
This Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) identifies emphasis areas to inform and guide further safety evaluation of the City’s transportation network. he emphasis areas include impaired driving, lane departure collisions, young drivers, and vulnerable road users (pedestrians and bicyclists) . 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 city-wide trends and patters.
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, reduce the frequency and severity of crashes, and to institutionalize a process for monitoring safety and making safety investment decisions.
The process and analysis performed for the City’s LRSP including initial vision and goals for the LRSP development, crash history analysis, and emphasis areas is included in this Plan. The information compiled will provide a foundation for decision making and prioritization for safety countermeasures and projects that enhance safety for all modes.
The California Office of Traffic Safety ranked Tracy against 105 peer cities. Compared to these peer cities, Tracy ranks as a relatively safe community and shows the efforts the City has taken to create a safe network have been successful. According to the California OTS’ 2019 rankings (most recent available), Tracy was ranked 60/105 for traffic injuries and fatalities. Tracy received its lowest ranking in the category: Had Been Drinking with Driver under 21 (10/105). Other areas of concern are for collisions involving motorcyclists and bicyclists. The City ranks well for pedestrian collisions, being ranked 86/105. The City is continuing these 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, 2015 – December 31, 2019) and roadway improvements to assess historic trends, patterns, and areas of elevated collision activity.
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.

12 3 Vision and Goals
The Tracy 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 severe- injury 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.

14 4 Process
The following section describes the analysis process undertaken to evaluate safety within Tracy 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 collision data, collision risk factors for the entire network are derived. 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 collisions with active transportation users.

The following section describes the analysis process undertaken to evaluate safety within Tracy 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 collision data, collision risk factors for the entire network are derived. 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 collisions with active transportation users.
This process uses the latest National and State best practices for statistical roadway analysis described as follows.
4.1.1 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 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
1 Local Roadway Safety Manual (Version 1.5) 2020. Page 5.
TRACY LRSP 2023
15 2
15 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 collision 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.
4.1.2 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 least likely to realize a reduction in the frequency of collisions.
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.
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.

16 The HSM provides several statistical methods for screening roadway networks to identify high risk locations based on overall collision histories. In addition to identifying the total number of collisions, this study uses a method referred to as Critical Crash Rate to analyze the data.
4.2 Analysis Techniques
4.2.1 Collision and Network Screening Analysis
Intersections and roadways were analyzed using four collision metrics:
• Number of Collisions
• 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 collision analysis established sub-populations of roadway segments and intersections that have similar characteristics. For this study, intersections were grouped by their control type (Signalized and Unsignalized) and segments by their roadway category (Arterial, Collector, Minor Collector, Local). Individual collision rates were calculated for each sub- population. 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) collision injury (fatal, serious injury, other visible injury, complaint of pain, property damage only), 2) collision 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, and distracted driving). With these additional factors, the locations were further analyzed and assigned a new rank.
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 Tracy 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 county. Ten locations will ultimately be selected for mitigation analysis.
4.2.2 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.
TRACY LRSP 2023
17 2
17 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.
Figure 1: Critical Crash Rate Formula
Source: Highway Safety Manual
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.
Strengths
• Reduces low volume exaggeration
• Considers variance
• Establishes comparison threshold
4.2.3 Probability Analysis
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.
TRACY LRSP 2023
18 2
18 Strengths
• Can be used as a diagnostic tool
• Considers variance in data
• 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 Tracy).
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.
Figure 2: Probability of Specific Crash Types Exceeding Threshold Proportion

4.2.4 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). 5 Safety Partners
As part of the LRSP, local stakeholders were included in the process to ensure the local perspective was kept at the forefront of this planning effort. In addition to the Project Team which included City Staff, a stakeholder group was organized. This group consisted of members from the Tracy Police Department, Tracy Unified School District, City of Tracy ADA Compliance
TRACY LRSP 2023

19 Office, the San Joaquin County Fire Department, San Joaquin County Public Health Services, and the City of Tracy Transit Service Division.
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 meeting(s) are outlined below.
5.1 Stakeholder Meeting #1
The first stakeholder meeting was conducted virtually using the Microsoft Teams platform on November 15th, 2021. 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 10 ‘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.
5.2 Field Tour and Stakeholder Meeting #2
On December 7th, 2021, the Project Team performed a field tour of the 10 ‘case study’ locations to observe traffic, look for roadway features that can be related to collision activity and to get input from stakeholders on things they have seen, heard of, or experienced at these locations.
Following the field tour, a virtual meeting was held on December 14th to review the findings and brainstorm potential projects that could improve safety at the case study locations. This information was processed and incorporated into the LRSP.

22 7 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.
7.1 Roadway Network
The collision analysis is built upon the existing roadway network. The base network was derived from the Caltrans California Road System (CRS) and updated to include more newly developed neighborhoods within the city. Figure 3 illustrates Tracy’s roadway network categorized using Caltrans’ Classification System. This classification assigned to each corridor roadway segment as either Other Principal Arterial, Minor Arterial, Major Collector, Minor Collector, or Local road is used in the analysis process. Ultimately, corridors will be compared to roadway segments with similar designations.
7.2 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.
7.3 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. The volumes were collected from the 2015 Tracy Travel Demand Model. For locations without volume or count data, other resources were utilized to identify a reasonable assumption for individual corridors and classification types.
7.4 Collision Data
Collision data was collected from Crossroads Software for the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2019 to have a complete set of collision data for analysis. This project uses five-years of data instead of the standard three 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 43. The locations of fatal and severe injury collisions involving bicycles and pedestrians are shown in Figure 5. The density of collisions at intersections and along roadway segments is show in Figure 6.

27 8 Collision Safety Trends
The following section breaks down the collision data by a variety of input factors and user types.
This information will be used to highlight areas of concern for the City.
8.1 All Collisions
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 in 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 22nd, 2021 and was current as of that date. Collision data from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2019 as reported to Crossroads from the local enforcement indicated that during this time there were 3,442 collisions recorded within Tracy.
During this time, the most common occurring collision types were Rear-End (30%) and Broadside (26%) The total number of collisions per year was similar in 2015, 2016, and 2019, with 725, 778, and 737 crashes respectively. Crashes dropped significantly in 2017, 2018 and 2020, with 618, 584, and 540 crashes respectively.

• Six percent of collisions (229) occurred at night without streetlights or during dusk/dawn.
Many of these collisions still occurred at or near intersections. Figure 11 shows the location of these collisions.
• 30 percent of collisions (1025) involved rear -end and 26 percent of collisions (890) involved broadside. Although significant in number, there are no discernable city -wide patterns to these collisions.
• Six percent of drivers at fault were aged 65 and older. Looking at the expanded range of aged 55 and older, this group accounts for just over 14% of collisions. • 27 percent of the drivers at fault were between 16 and 25 years old.

8.7 Behavioral
8.7.1 Driving Under the Influence
292 collisions, just over 8% of all collisions, were reported as the driver being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 70% of the DUI collisions resulted in property damage only. 33% of the traffic fatalities involved a DUI.
8.7.2 Aggressive Driving
Twenty-nine percent of the collisions were primarily caused by aggressive driving (drivers traveling at unsafe speed or following too closely). These types of collisions are located primarily on major arterials.
8.7.3 Driver Inattention
Less than one percent of collisions had driver inattention as a possible contributing factor. This category is assumed to be underreported as it is difficult to determine that driver inattention led to a crash. Caltrans is prioritizing improved reporting of these types of crashes.
8.8 Statewide Comparison
Due to the availability of data, a comparison of fatal and severe injury data to the State averages could only be conducted for data from 2009-2018. These numbers may vary slightly from those mentioned previously, due to the differences in the years of the study period. The following table compares factors involved in serious injury and fatal crashes between the City of Tracy and totals for the state.

8.9 Network Screening Analysis Results
Table 5 and Table 6 show the number of crashes occurring at locations in Tracy by crash type for the locations that will be studied further in the Report, and highlights locations in which the probability of those crash types exceeding the threshold proportion is greater than 33%.
The tables are ordered by the number of collisions that occurred at that segment or intersection.
In order to be statistically significant, only locations where more than two collisions occurred are represented. At locations with two or less collisions, random chance can account for crash history as much or more than specific roadway characteristics. The tables include the top 10 locations by number of crashes for each intersection and roadway type.
The tables are separated into sub-sections visible by the blue gradient. The first two columns, Crashes and Local CCR Differential, represent the level of crash activity in absolute terms, and as relative to other similar locations, respectively.
Per guidance from the Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM) each sub-population of locations was ranked according to the number of collisions. The second column shows the CCR, which highlights whether or not the collision activity was higher or lower than the average for the sub- population based on the individual segment or intersection volume. This volume was either collected through data count resources or calculated based on the roadway classification. All averages used in the CCR calculation were established based on City of Tracy’s crash data to determine what locations might be best to prioritize at the local level. This process highlights locations of collisions that are unusual for the City to determine Tracy’s challenge areas, and not problems faced by peer cities that do not apply in Tracy. The remaining columns total collisions by type, to evaluate each sub-population and understand what proportion of crashes in the City are of a particular type. The city-wide proportion was compared with the local intersection or segment specific proportion to determine which locations have more of a given crash type than would be expected when considering the City average. A confidence level of 95% was used for the CCR Calculations. For this study, two categories of ranges were highlighted:
• Light Gray: >50% probability that this crash type is over-represented on this segment/intersection as compared to other characteristically similar locations within the City of Tracy. Although these locations have a slightly higher probability of this crash type than their counterparts, they are not necessarily highly significant. • Dark Gray: >75% probability that this crash type is over-represented on this segment/intersection as compared to other characteristically similar locations within the TRACY LRSP 2023
36 2
36 City of Tracy. These locations are highly significant in regard to the number of collisions occurring here and should be further investigated.
After this analysis was completed, the locations were ranked against other similar locations within the City by their categories according to the expected proportion of that crash type within Tracy. Locations with higher than expected crashes of that type were identified by the probability that random chance would not account for exceedances.
Additionally, it should be noted that the columns for Collision Severity, Type, Involved With, and Behavior are additional characteristics of the collisions and should not be counted as a separate collision.
The following provides an example of how to read Table 5 and Table 6.
Table Definitions:
- Total Collisions: Number of collisions observed at the intersection or segment from January of 2015 through December of 2019.
- Local Critical Crash Rate (CCR) Differential: The CCR specific to the intersection or segment.
- Fatal, Severe, Other Visible Injury, Complaint of Pain, Property Damage Only (PDO):
The number of collisions with that injury level that occurred at this location in the study period.
- Broadside, Sideswipe, Rear-End, Head-On, Hit Object, Overturned, Other, Pedestrian, Bicycle: The number of these types of collisions that occurred at this location in the study period.
- Other: The number of miscellaneous collision types (mostly single vehicle) that occurred at this location in the study period.
- Aggressive, Distracted, Impaired, Dark, Wet: The number of the collisions with this factor identified as the cause of collision.

53 9 Emphasis Areas
Emphasis Areas are collisions factors or conditions that the City of Tracy can strategically focus efforts 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 collision analysis. Where these areas aligned, or major challenges were observed, Emphasis Areas and strategies were developed.
9.1 Emphasis Area #1: 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. 292 collisions, just over 8% of all collisions, were reported as the driver being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 70% of the DUI collisions resulted in property damage only. 33% of the traffic fatalities involved a DUI.17% of the collisions in the study period were reported as the driver being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Eight of these crashes resulted in a fatality and 27 in a severe injury. Almost 2/3 of these crashes (423) resulted in Property Damage Only.
Goal for Emphasis Area #1:.
• 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 #1:
• 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 • Implement additional lighting along corridors with high frequencies of impaired driving collisions
• Install speed control measures such as speed feedback signage or lane width reductions along corridors with high frequencies of impaired driving collisions These strategies will be implemented by the City, law enforcement, and community organizations. Funding sources for these strategies may include HSIP, OTS, and SB1 grant programs.
9.2 Emphasis Area #2: Lane Departure (Head-On, Hit Object, Overturned)
Description: Lane Departure, as defined by the Caltrans SHSP, includes head-on, hit object, and overturned collisions. This includes instances where a vehicle runs off the road or crosses into the opposing lane prior to the collision. 55.1% of fatal & severe injury collisions involved TRACY LRSP 2023
54 2
54 lane departure collisions in the City , compared to 42.1% statewide. These types of collisions were 17% of the collisions in the study period.
Goal for Emphasis Area #2:
• Reduce the number of crashes due to lane departure collisions in the City • Identify hot spots and priority corridors for lane departure collisions • Apply for funding and implement countermeasures to address lane departure collisions Strategies for Emphasis Area #2:
• Address l ane departure collisions by implementing proven countermeasures , such as guardrails, median barriers, safety edges, segment lighting, speed feedback signage Identify priority corridors for lane departure collisions and implement countermeasures on these corridors. These strategies will be implemented by the City, law enforcement, and community organizations. Funding sources for these strategies may include HSIP, OTS and SB1 grant programs.
9.3 Emphasis Area #3: Young Drivers
Description: Young drivers, as defined by the Caltrans SHSP, are drivers between 15 and 20 years of age. 13.7% of fatal & severe injury collisions involved young drivers in the City, compared to 12.3% statewide. 27% of collisions involved a driver at fault that was between the age of 16 and 25 years old.
Goal for Emphasis Area #3:
• Reduce the number severity and of young driver collisions • Identify hot spots and priority corridors for young driver collisions • Apply for funding and implement countermeasures to address young drivers Strategies for Emphasis Area #3:
Strategies to address young driver behaviors will mainly focus on education, encouragement, and enforcement. Strategies that have had success nationally include driver’s education courses, implementing technology in young drivers’ vehicles, and education campaigns to target aging drivers with messages regarding road safety, common mistakes, and challenges that young drivers face. Strategies may also include increased enforcement near hotspots of young driver collisions and increased coordination with community organizations. Strategies can also address challenges faced by inexperienced drivers by simplifying complex driving environments by reducing sign clutter and simplifying signage.
These strategies will be implemented by the City, law enforcement, and local community organizations. Funding sources for these strategies may include HSIP, STIP, and SB1 grant programs.
TRACY LRSP 2023
55 2
55 9.4 Emphasis Area #4: Vulnerable Road Users (Pedestrians and Bicyclists)
Description: Vulnerable road user collisions, as defined by the SHSP, are those identified as those involving pedestrians and bicyclists. 44% of fatal injuries in the City involved pedestrians. 21% of severe injury collisions involved pedestrians. 14% of severe injury collisions involved bicyclists.
81 pedestrian-involved collisions occurred during the study period, resulting in 4 fatal collisions, 9 severe injury collisions, and 63 with some form of reported injury or pain. About 25% of pedestrian collisions occurred while the pedestrian was crossing in the crosswalk. During the study period, 102 collisions involving bicycles were reported. Of these, six (6) resulted in severe injuries, twenty-seven (27) resulted in property damage only, and sixty-nine (69) with some form of reported injury or pain. About 23% of collisions occurred at night.
Goal for Emphasis Area #4:
• Reduce the number of collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists • Identify high areas of pedestrians and bicycle collisions • Apply for fund ing and implement countermeasures at pedestrian and bicycle collision hotspots
Strategies for Emphasis Area #4:
• Implement pedestrian and bicycle priority detection at certain key locations • Install pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure at key locations , su ch as bicycle lanes, rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs), pedestrian scrambles, and Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) timing
• Install pedestrian and bicycle counters to determine where high active transportation volume locations are
• Establish education and training program to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety in the City
10 Opportunities
The following provides more information on general identified issues, crash modification factors, improvements, and countermeasures identified for the City of Tracy, as well as for specific project locations identified as part of this analysis.
10.1 Infrastructure Improvements
10.1.1 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 TRACY LRSP 2023
56 2
56 implement a particular project, and the misapplication of CMFs can lead to misinformed decisions. Key factors to consider when applying CMFs include:
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/dot- media/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 city- wide level and are discussed in General City-Wide Safety Project Opportunities in Section
10.3 of this Report.
10.1.2 Safety Project Case Studies
From the city-wide 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 cost- effective safety benefits.
A Safety Project Case Study was developed for these locations:
1. Unsignalized Intersection: F Street & 11th Street
2. Unsignalized Intersection: Parker Avenue & Eaton Avenue
3. Roadway Segment: Holly Drive from Larch Road to Sloan Court
4. Roadway Segment: Pavilion Parkway from Robertson Drive to Auto Plaza Way
5. Signalized Intersection: Naglee Road & Grant Line Road
6. Roadway Segment: Grant Line Road from Lammers Road to Byron Road
7. Roadway Segment: Byron Road from Berg Road to Belconte Drive
8. Signalized Intersection: Lowell Avenue & Corral Hollow Road
9. Roadway Segment: Lammers Road from 11th Street to Redbridge Road
10. Roadway Segment: Tracy Boulevard from Schulte Road to Menay Drive 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 collision history.
These case study sheets can also be used to position the City for future grant funding opportunities.

10.3 City-wide Countermeasure Toolbox
This evaluation considered city-wide trends to identify countermeasures that would likely provide the most benefit with widespread implementation. Countermeasures for each of the 5E Safety Strategies (Engineering, Enforcement, Education, Encouragement, and Emergency Services) were identified. These include both infrastructure improvements, non-infrastructure improvements. Section 10.3 outlines the city-wide safety project improvements, which is also TRACY LRSP 2023
60 2
60 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)4.” For each of these countermeasures, a planning level benefit/cost analysis was completed.
Applying the benefit/cost at the city-wide 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 city-wide 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 life- cycle savings, with an Opinion of Project Probable Cost (OPCC). The cost shown in Table 9 should be considered initial planning costs using 2021 dollars and not assumed final.

11 Evaluation & Implementation
11.1 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.
• Quarterly progress meetings will 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 after no more than five years. • 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.
11.2 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-to- mid-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. Impaired Driving
2. Lane Departure Collisions
3. Young Drivers
4. Vulnerable Road Users (Pedestrians and Bicyclists)
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 TRACY LRSP 2023
64 2
64 be of the most benefit. Projects that address these focused areas can be developed with a high benefit-to-cost ratio (by applying City-wide 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.
11.3 Funding
Competitive funding resources are available to assist in the development and implementation of safety projects in Tracy. 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 Tracy. The following is a high-level introduction into some of the main funding programs and grants for which the City can apply. In addition to the funding sources mentioned below, the City should consider examining and allocating a portion of its Measure A and other local funding sources to help fund safety improvements. The City should also work with regional agencies such as San Joaquin County Council of Governments, San Joaquin Valley Council of Governments, and Caltrans to identify and apply for safety improvement funding.
11.3.1 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.
11.3.2 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) TRACY LRSP 2023
65 2
65 • 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/
11.3.3 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.
11.3.4 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
11.3.5 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

11.4 Next Steps
The City of Tracy 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, 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 also completed, or plans to complete, the following tasks:
• Actively seek other funding opportunities to improve safety for all modal users • Collaborate with established safety pa rtners & 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 Tracy. • Begin designing safety improvements identified in the Case Study sheets contained in this report.
Based on current Caltrans guidelines, the LRSP is valid for 5 years from the date of completion for eligibility for HSIP grant funding.
