Moving Towards Zero Safety Action Plan Steve Brown, P. Eng Manager – Traffic and Data Management
Moving Towards Zero: Action Plan • May 2016 - initial update • December 2016 – detailed strategy • Annual updates
Moving Towards Zero: Action Plan 1. Enhanced Data 2. Evaluate and Prioritize Locations 3. Engineering Action Plan 4. Education & Public Outreach 5. Enforcement 6. Next Steps
1. Enhanced Data: Current Data Sources • Transportation Related Fatalities – VPD o Summary reports as they occur o Annual review • Collisions involving – ICBC o 2014-15 data received in mid 2016 o Serious injury data – included since 2014 o Annual review • NEW- Hospital injury data-Vancouver Coastal Health

Hospital Injury Data Pilot Benefits: Challenges: Quarterly updates VGH Incidents Only • • Demographics Data Quality • • Serious injuries o Location (i.e. outside • Non- Motor Vehicle COV) • Collisions o Description o ICBC – only motor o Miscoding (i.e. sports, vehicle related falls) o 53% of cycling injuries o Returning patients do not involve a motor vehicle (BICE Study)
