T11 Street Safety

All of the data for the injury collision maps came from TIMS – the Transportation Injury Mapping System. TIMS is a project of UC Berkeley’s Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC). It takes data from another mapping system called SWITRS (State-Wide Integrated Traffic Records System), which is compiled by the CHP from law enforcement agencies throughout the state.

RC 3 Municipal Energy Use-2

Electricity and natural gas usage in buildings and facilities; vehicle fuel use from vehicle fleet and transit fleet. The City procures RECs to offset almost 100% of its SCE accounts. Emissions related to electricity use reflect the actual grid without the use of RECs. The Climate Registry has only recently recognized the use of RECs.

Signal Timing

The ATMS project has been divided into a multi-phased implementation plan, as described below. Phase 1 (Complete): Phase 1 included the downtown section of 4th Street and extended between California Avenue and Olympic Drive. The project was completed in June 2006. Phase 2 (Complete): Phase 2 included traffic signal improvements in the Downtown area bounded by, and including, Ocean Avenue, Wilshire Boulevard, Lincoln Boulevard and Colorado Avenue. Phase 2 also incorporated Lincoln Boulevard from Downtown to the southern City limit. Construction of Phase 2 was completed in 2008. Approximately $1.4 million of the Metro grant were used for transit priority system infrastructure improvements in the Downtown. Phase 3 (Complete): This phase implements the Advanced Traffic Management and bus priority system improvements along Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, Pico Boulevard, the three other Rapid corridors. Construction will be completed in August 2011. Phases 4A and 4B (Complete): Phase 4 condenses several future phases to implement ATMS along Arizona Avenue, Office District, and Mid-City areas. Phase 4C (Complete): Two transit corridors along Ocean Park Boulevard and Main Street/Neilson Way receive fiber optic communications and traffic signal upgrades at 26 intersections. Phase 5 (Underway): Phase 5 will cover outlying areas such as San Vicente Boulevard and streets north of Wilshire Advanced Traffic Management System - City of Santa Monica Boulevard as the final phase of the ATMS project.

T10 Vehicle Volumes

The City conducts transportation conducts, which counts the numbers of vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles moving through an intersection. Counts are typically conducted every 2 years during the weekday and weekend peak hours. The peak hours represents the time period where traffic counts are the highest due to worker commute. Weekday counts are conducted at all City signalized intersections during the AM Peak Hours (7:00 A -9:00 AM) and PM peak hours (5:30 PM – 7:30 PM) either on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday in the Fall (when school is in session). Weekend counts are conducted during the midday peak hour (1:00-5:00 PM) either on Saturday or Sunday in the Summer at signalized intersections in the Downtown and Main Street areas, as these areas tend to experience greater traffic as a result of the tourist/visitor population on the weekends
