Today’s topics • Context for Vision Zero Crash Study • Key crash study information • Next steps for Vision Zero 2

Minneapolis Vision Zero Goal: zero deaths and severe injuries on City streets by 2027 Between 2006 and 2015, 35 people walking and in wheelchairs, 14 people riding a bicycle, and 57 people driving or riding in motor vehicles died in crashes on streets in Minneapolis. “A commitment to Vision Zero is a commitment to life and equitable opportunity for people in the City of Minneapolis.” Vision Zero Resolution (2017) 3

Vision Zero timeline • September 2017: City Council adopted Vision Zero Commitment • November 2017: Pedestrian Crash Study finalized • December 2017: Funding approved for Vision Zero Program Coordinator and Action Plan development • February 2018: Vision Zero Task Force started • Summer 2018: Initial engagement • Summer 2018: Vision Zero Program Coordinator started; consultant for Action Plan selected • November 2018: Vision Zero Crash study finalized • December 2018: Vision Zero advisory committees started • Early 2019: Launch next phase of engagement • Fall 2019: Draft Action Plan released • 2020: Vision Zero Action Plan adopted by Council 4

Vision Zero Crash Study context • Parallel document to the Pedestrian Crash Study (2017) • Builds off several initiatives that highlight safety: • Safe Routes to School (initiated in 2006); Strategic Action Plan (2017) • Bicycle Master Plan (2011); Bicycle-Vehicle Crash Study (2013), and Bicycle Master Plan Update (2015) • Complete Streets Policy (2016) • 20 Year Streets Funding Plan (2016) • Commitment to Vision Zero (2017) 5

Study purpose • Supplements the Pedestrian Crash Study to provide data to inform our Vision Zero and other safety planning efforts • Better understand where, how, and why vehicle and bicycle crashes are occurring in Minneapolis • Document trends, contributing factors, and characteristics of vehicle and bicycle crashes 7

Data notes • Generally 2007-2016 Minneapolis data • Bicycle – all ten years of crashes & deeper analysis for 2014- 2016 • Vehicle – missing 2016 • Excludes: • Freeway and ramp crashes • Intentional injury crashes • Parking lot crashes • Vehicle to parked car crashes from in-depth analysis 8

National trends in traffic crashes • Nationally, traffic injuries and deaths are rising recently after years of decline • Speeding, impaired driving, distracted driving, and failing to yield are the most common contributing factors 40,000 3,500,000 1000 80000 900 35,000 70000 3,000,000 800 60000 30,000 2,500,000 700 Number of Fatalities Number of Fatalities Number of Injuries 50000 25,000 Number of Injuries 600 2,000,000 500 40000 20,000 1,500,000 400 30000 15,000 300 20000 1,000,000 10,000 200 10000 100 500,000 5,000 0 0 0 0 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 1988 1990 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 Bicyclist Fatalities Bicyclist Injuries Motor Vehicle Fatalities Motor Vehicles Injuries Source: Vision Zero Crash Study based on national safety data 9

Vehicle crash concentration corridors • Most vehicle crashes are concentrated on the major traffic corridors • 62% of crashes on 6% of the streets with 28% of vehicle miles traveled 24 Source: Vision Zero Crash Study

Vehicle high injury network • Severe injury and fatal crashes • Concentrated on busy streets, especially 4-lane streets • 63% of fatal and severe crashes on 4% of streets with 18% of vehicle mile traveled Source: Vision Zero Crash Study 25

Pedestrian crash concentration corridors • 80% of all pedestrian crashes occurred on 10% of streets • 75% of all major crashes occurred on 5% of streets Pedestrian crash concentrations Severe/fatal pedestrian crash concentrations Source: 2017 Pedestrian Crash Study

Bicycle crash concentration corridors • 53% of crashes on 4% of streets with 13% of vehicle miles traveled • Density is highest in downtown and uptown • Few concentrations in the rest of the city • Many of the crash concentration corridors do not have existing bicycle facilities 27 Source: Vision Zero Crash Study

Bicycle high injury network • 81% of fatal and severe crashes on 3% of streets with 10% of vehicle miles traveled • Concentrations are scattered • Focused on intersections more than corridors 28 Source: Vision Zero Crash Study

Crash concentration corridors: all modes • Traffic crashes are more concentrated on some corridors • 36% of all crashes happen on 2% of streets 29 Source: Vision Zero Crash Study
