for Vision Zero
DRAFT
10 – Year Vision
Zero Strategy
6
✓ Review data and practices for traffic law enforcement
✓ Revise draft equity statement developed from Meeting #3
✓ Discuss equity framework considerations and scorecard for
engineering and education
7
➢ During Q&A, raise your hand and wait for the facilitator to call on you.
➢ Avoid interrupting another task force member.
➢ Avoid distracting sidebar conversations.
➢ Question assumptions, but don’t assume someone is wrong. We all have
different perspectives and our task does not have a right or wrong textbook
answer. Build on other’s ideas instead of tearing them down.

for the current fiscal

22% of the Vision

Of the $26,014,889
in the FY19 budget
for Enforcement,
76% is for speed
and red light
automated
enforcement. Not
explicitly included in
the Vision Zero
budget are Patrol
and Field Services in
MCPD since officers
perform more duties
than traffic
enforcement.
For Vision Zero, the County
utilizes the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s
(NHTSA’s) annual
communications calendar for
issue specific timing. For
example, each May is National
Bicycle Safety Month, mid-
September is Child Passenger
Safety Week, and December is
Impaired Driving deterrence.
NHTSA and the Maryland
Highway Safety Office
(MHSO) provide marketing
materials to anyone looking
to spread the message.
11
MCPD utilizes the Maryland
Highway Safety Office’s high
visibility enforcement (HVE)
calendar to perform regular
stepped up enforcement all
year round. MCPD utilizes
analyses from MHSO, Traffic
Division data analyst, and
CountyStat to identify
hotspots for crashes.
Enforcement is typically tied
with education to inform
residents of the dangerous
behaviors, ways to curb the
behaviors, and explain why
we perform high visibility
enforcement.

2013 to 2018.
Each traffic stop
averages 1.8
violations.
88% of people
stopped have a
Maryland driver’s
license, followed by
3% for DC and VA.

County Police utilize
crash and citation
data to prioritize
locations for DUI
high visibility
enforcement and
checkpoints. The
map shows areas
with higher rates of
DUI crashes and
citations around
Halloween 2014-
2017.

The number of
violations written to
drivers violating
pedestrians’ right of
way and pedestrians
crossing illegally
were nearly equal
each year. MCPD
conducts 280
pedestrian safety

Placement of speed
cameras are set by
Maryland state law,
Traffic Article 21-
809.
Legal Requirements, cameras can only be placed
• Residential roads with a speed limit of 35 MPH or less OR
• School Zones
Site Selection:
• Pre-enforcement verification: requests from citizens,
collision data, community and environmental concerns
(places of worship, schools, public facilities, etc.),
pedestrian activity
• Data collection and analysis
• Site Visit
• Approval by Citizen Advisory Board for Traffic Issues (CAB-
TI), and the Director of MCP’s Traffic Division. The Traffic
Division Director has final approval.
23
IIHS review showed:
• 10% reduction in
mean speeds
• 62% reduction in
likelihood
travelling 10 mph
above speed
limit
• 39% reduction in
likelihood that
crash resulted in
incapacitating or
fatal injury

Questions
How do you define
equity of
Montgomery
County’s Vision
Zero Program?
What does Equity
look like if we are
able to achieve it? 27
28
To achieve Vision Zero, Montgomery County will prioritize and allocate funding and
resources to the communities that experience a disproportionate burden of traffic-
related fatalities and serious injuries.
Guiding Principles:
• Community Engagement: Montgomery County will consider everyone’s voices
and concerns, which includes being proactive to engage communities that may
not be represented in the process
• Access: Residents all over Montgomery County can safely access multiple
transportation options to reach their destination.
• High Injury Network: Using a data-driven approach, Montgomery County will
prioritize funding to the high injury network, with special attention to community
that have higher rates of poverty, young people, and persons of color.
• Address Historical Disinvestment: Investments in areas that are historically
underserved by transportation funding and projects.

Performance Monitoring Methodology
– Data on midblock crossings and signal adherence
– Baseline data collected 10/25 and 11/1
– Post-education data collected 11/30 and 12/5
– AM Peak (7:00am–9:30am) and PM Peak (2:30pm–6:30pm)

Data Source: Foursquare ITP
The High Injury Network
(HIN) identifies roadway
segments that have a
higher amount of crashes
(at least one crash per mile
per year) relative to the
amount of traffic on that
road. MCDOT uses this
initial list to identify
roadways for engineering
improvements.

Driver Pedestrian Both Not Determined
Note: numbers may not add to 100% due to rounding. MCPD will be reviewing the 2015-2017 unknowns and will update the results.
For the party deemed at
fault, the rate has remained
steady since 2012 with 60%
drivers at fault, 30%
pedestrians at fault, and
10% both/undetermined.
For fatal crashes between
2012 and 2017, the at fault
rates were flipped with 40%
for drivers, 57% for
pedestrians, and 3% for
both.
