18 • Modernize interchanges for safer multimodal travel, including addressing pedestrian experience at underpasses • Enhance safety at at-grade rail crossings The program includes the 6 Es Framework: • Education: Education programs improve traffic safety and awareness. Classroom activities in the K-5 Walk and Roll Educator Guide teach students how to navigate busy streets and make the connection between active transportation, health, and the environment. • Encouragement: Encouragement programs provide incentives and support to help students and families try walking or bicycling instead of driving. Walk and Roll to School Days and other events show that walking and bicycling can be fun. • Engineering: Engineering, in the form of walk audits, bring engineering experts to assist the community in evaluating streets and identifying improvements for walking and biking to school. • Evaluation: Evaluation programs help schools measure walking and bicycling. Regular parent surveys and student hand-raising tallies indicate how students get to school and what barriers parents feel should be addressed. • Engagement: Engagement means working alongside students, families, teachers, school leaders, and existing community organizations to build long-term capacity and sustainable programming. Intentional and active engagement is a core principle of the SR2S Program. • Equity: Equity ensures support for safe, active and healthy opportunities for ALL students in Alameda County. Alameda CTC Rail Safety Enhancement Program Individual rail crossings throughout Alameda County were examined to identify crossings and corridors most impacted by rail traffic, and where rail crossings can be improved. The crossings analysis considered several factors including safety, delay, noise, and air quality. The program identifies near-term upgrades with significant and immediate positive safety impacts for local communities. Safety benefits of the projects identified through the program include: • Improvement of pedestrian safety with an emphasis on schools • Improvement of rail and roadway safety BART Walk and Bicycle Network Gap Study (2020) This study identifies conceptual access improvements to make walking and biking to and from 17 BART stations safer and easier, including the San Leandro BART station. It includes a set of “Global Recommendations” and a toolkit for station-specific recommendation strategies. There are several recommendations for increasing safety and active transportation connections to the station. The following recommendations apply to the local roadway outside of the station that are significant to the development of this LRSP: • Install high-visibility crosswalks with RRFB at several locations: o Parrott Street under BART tracks o At Williams Street/UPRR o At San Leandro Boulvard/Thornton Street o At W Estudillo/Hays Street
