15 4. Existing Efforts In recent years, City and regional efforts to improve safety have been most visible through a range of plans, programs, and infrastructure projects. Planning efforts include countywide and citywide plans and policies that utilize the Safe System approach, commit to zero fatalities on San Leandro streets, and create vision for multimodal safety enhancements in San Leandro. They are further supported by safety related programs, such as the Alameda County Safe Routes to School program; installation of safety related infrastructure, as described in the Countermeasure Toolbox in Appendix A,. The goals and policies in these plans summarized below helped guide the emphasis areas and strategies included in this LRSP. Countywide and Regional Plans and Projects Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Regional Safety/Vision Zero Policy This policy establishes a strategy for the MTC working with partner agencies to support equitable, data-driven action towards eliminating traffic deaths and serious vehicular injuries in the Bay Area by 2030. The Regional Safety Policy establishes a framework of principles and actions to guide MTC staff in working towards the policy goals: • Provide regional leadership to promote safety; engaging and incentivizing leadership across jurisdictions; working toward aligning funding policy with safety goals. • Apply a data driven approach to inform safety policy and strategic use of available funds and resources. Regional safety data will be housed at MTC so local jurisdictions can benefit from consistent and reliable data. • Promote equity in regional safety policies by considering and analyzing impacts on communities of concern and protecting vulnerable roadway users, such as pedestrians and bicyclists. • Support beneficial safety policies and legislation targeting evidence-based solutions to safety problems. • Engage key regional stakeholders in safety policy development, implementation and collaboration on safety best practices. Provide education and technical assistance within budgetary constraints. Alameda County Countywide Transportation Plan (2020) This plan prioritizes projects within Alameda County based on four goals in the transportation vision: • Accessible, Affordable, and Equitable • Safe, Healthy, and Sustainable
