The City was developed with an Arabian Nights theme as can be seen by the Moorish architecture and street names in the city. The city has a mixture of residential, commercial, and industrial zones, in addition to a general aviation airport (Opa-locka Executive Airport three parks (Ingram, Sherbondy, and Segal Parks), two lakes, and a tri-rail station.

Engineering and legal services are provided to the City on a contract basis. d Purpose of Reauest A comprehensive safety action plan (CSAP) is a powerful way to prioritize safety improvements and justify investment decisions within area jurisdictions. These plans can serve as the basic building block to significantly improve roadway safety by reducing and eliminating serious injury and fatal crashes, communicating, and collaborating with stakeholders and community members, and providing information on funding opportunities. As a recent recipient of an FY22 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Plan Grant, this first -of -its -tie regional CSAP for the City of Opa-locka will provide a framework of innovative strategies and implementation actions intended to reduce transportation -related fatalities and serious injuries while also supporting federal safety initiatives. The CSAP will identify safety issues and specific actions that can be implemented to improve safety for people traveling by any mode throughout the City. The plan will develop recommendations for both motorized and non -motorized modes in the roadway network as well as other elements including land use, transit, freight, and other community factors to create a comprehensive course of action. The plan will address federal and state regulations, including design guidance as well as performance management goals, measures, and targets, and will promote equitable outcomes. Cl I Y OF OPA-LOCK.RFP 4 July, „ 2023 SS4A COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY ACTION PLAN As noted, this plan will be funded in part through an Action Plan Grant through the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) discretionary grant program. The purpose of this program, established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), is to support local initiatives to prevent death and serious injury on roads and streets, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation users, motorists, personal conveyance and micro -mobility users, and commercial vehicle operators. Once complete, the CSAP will allow the City of Opa- locka to apply for implementation (capital construction) discretionary grant funds through the SS4A initiative. 1 Project Narrative The City of Opa-locka understands our shared responsibility in eliminating fatal and serious crashes for all roadway users, including those who walk, bike, drive, ride transit, and travel by other modes in our community. We are committed to a holistic approach in how we think about transportation safety and how we prioritize investments across the entire transportation system so that we can build a safe and better system for all users of all modes. By developing the first comprehensive safety action plan for the City, our area will commit to providing a framework of innovative strategies and implementation actions that will ensure crash reductions and support federal and state safety initiatives. Through expanded collaboration with stakeholders and community members, as well as guidance from FHWA's Safe System approach and SS4A's Action Plan Components, the City will develop a comprehensive safety action plan that is founded upon the following: • Stakeholder and public engagement plan, with a strong emphasis on equity and outreach to residents, businesses, visitors, and community builders. • Data collection and review, including a summary of existing programs, policies, and studies as well as a peer review of comparable surrounding small cities. • Safety analysis, including an analysis of regional trends, contributing factors, and patterns of transportation -related accidents in the region. Transportation equity review, including an assessment of regional equity indicators related to accessibility, connectivity, environment, health, engagement, and effectiveness, and how transportation systems affect and/or influence safe and equitable outcomes. • Dashboard and toolkit, including graphic visualizations that illustrate safety countermeasures, context -sensitive solutions, user educational components, and performance measure tracking. Implementation matrix for implementing safety measuresincluding: • Policies, programs, innovative practices, and low-cost/high-impact strategies; and • Specific construction projects with scope, budget, and time frame.

Our staff understands the various goals the City of Opa-locka staff, elected officials, stakeholder, and residents have in developing a successful Comprehensive Safety Action Plan and initiating a Vision Zero program.

Our team is fully committed to the success of the City of Opa-locka and to reducing fatal and serious injury crashes within the City's transportation network. TASK 1 - PROJECT STRUCTURE AND WORK PLAN EXP understands that the success of this project goes beyond developing and submitting a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. Through this project, the City of Opa-locka is delivering on its promises and duties to FHWA, its residents, and visitors. Time is of the essence to meet the criteria of the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Plan Grant agreement between the City and FHWA, and ultimately to implement policies, processes, infrastructure, and strategies that save lives and cultivate a culture of safety. This is why our project manager is already using a project management software to visualize and understand the project schedule, dependencies between task activities, critical path, and assign task leaders and subtask activities. Table 2 illustrates a draft project schedule summary with important milestones such as the submittal of a Final Comprehensive Safety Action Plan by September 2024, assistance with Final Plan approval through the City Council anticipated to occur on the fourth Wednesday of October 2024, and last invoice by December 2024. Within 14 days of authorization, the project management staff will schedule an Project Kick-off meeting with City staff to review key parameters and requirements of the SS4A Action Plan Grant agreement, draft stakeholder list, draft project schedule, and scope of services. Table 1 and Table 3 identify key project stakeholders and organizations that could be invited to participate in a Project Steering Committee (PSC). Our team anticipates conducting nine monthly progress meetings with the City Project Manager, in -person or virtual, as needed based on project milestones and deliverables. Our team will submit monthly invoices to ensuring timely reporting to FHWA. With our help, the City of Opa-locka will maintain a great working relationship with FHWA staff to increase future funding opportunities.

The Carrie Meek Foundation New Baptist Church Bike305 EXP will aid City staff with briefing and presenting to elected officials the draft and final Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) as needed to get the City Council to adopt the plan and pass a Vision Zero ordinance/resolution. After this, our team proposes to continue working with City staff to apply to the Vision Zero Network Communities. More than 45 communities around the U.S. have committed to a goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries, and our team will ensure that the City of Opa-locka gets recognized as one of those communities. Through coordination with City staff, elected officials, stakeholders, and citizens, our team will aid in building consensus to determine appropriate goals, objectives, and performance measures. Using these principles, our team will draft an ordinance setting a target date for achieving Vision Zero to be in compliance with FHWA's Action Plan Components. TASK 2 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT & COORDINATION Jesus Fuentes, PE (Project Manager) will be the primary point of contact for the City's project manager and Ivan Jimenez, AICP, EIT (Deputy Project Manager) will be secondary point of contact. Both Jesus and Ivan will ensure the project administration is efficient and on schedule. For each of the anticipated nine monthly progress meetings between March and December 2024, they will prepare progress reports and draft invoices for review by the City's Project Manager. During these meetings, the Work Plan will be reviewed and revised accordingly to ensure the project is on track to meet scheduled milestones. Potential project risks or concerns will also be discussed with the City's Project Manager to obtain approval on corrective actions mitigate or avoid identified risks. 3 Furthermore, Jesus and Ivan will also be available to aid the City's project manager with strategizing, understanding, and complying with the parameters and requirements of the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Plan Grant, Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) Assistance Listing #20.939. Both Jesus and Ivan have a deep understanding of United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) guidance on developing CSAPs, including the National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS), the Safe System Approach, Executive Order 14008 — "Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad (86 FR 7619)", and Executive Order 13985 — "Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government (86 FR 7009)" and other key topics such as the President's Greenhouse Gas Reduction, Climate Resilience, and the Federal Workforce Investment Program. During the Project Kick-off meeting with City staff, the project scope, Work Plan, and Stakeholder and Public Engagement Program will be discuss in detail. Monthly progress meetings will be coordinated so that the project management team meets with the City project manager prior to any meetings with the proposed PSC and with the community or other stakeholders. This will ensure the City Project Manager and staff are comfortable and knowledgeable of project data, analysis, findings, and work -products before they are presented to stakeholders or the public. TASK 3 - STAKEHOLDER AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM EXP has full-time community outreach staff that will ensure our teams engagement and collaboration efforts are extensive, authentic, and empowering. Our Stakeholder and Community Engagement Plan will take into account USDOT's Promising Practices for Meaningful Public Involvement in Transportation Decision -Making and will be a living document throughout the duration of this project. Our program will identify potential partners and key community groups/members, describe group/individual interests, needs, and concerns, create a database of contacts and resources, identify communication channels and tools, develop a messaging and outreach schedule, define key messages and talking points, establish engagement and collaboration success metrics, as well as identify strategies for sustainable long-term engagement. The cornerstone of the Stakeholder and Public Engagement Program will be the PSC. This interdisciplinary committee is pivotal to the development of a successful CSAP. While the size of the PSC can be flexible, representation from each Safe System Approach objective is paramount. After the PSC is formed, EXP will prepare to conduct committee meetings in the preferred format (i.e., virtual, in -person, or hybrid) to enable collaboration and discussion among the committee members. To ensure the seamless execution of this effort, we are committed to establishing clearly defined roles and responsibilities across our team to foster a robust collaboration among committee members throughout the duration of the project. Additionally, preceding these critical meeting sessions, presentation materials, surveys, and handouts will be delivered to ensure meetings are concise and effective. During the convened meeting sessions, the discussion will focus on a particular phase of the CSAP scope to keep the discuss centered on receiving actionable feedback. Outcomes, decisions, and actions resulting from the PSC meetings will be documented to underscore the commitment of PSC members towards a holistic and systematic approach to creating safe roadways for all and striving torward the goal of zero fatalities or serious injuries within the City of Opa-locka. 4 EQUITABLE ENGAGEMENT Equitable engagement is fundamental to ensuring all community members have an equal opportunity to participate in decision -making processes that will impact their lives. Equitable engagement emphasizes inclusivity, fairness, and representation, aiming to address historical disparities and empower marginalized voices. EXP recognizes the importance of equitable engagement and has developed a toolkit that facilitates meaningful and impactful community involvement. This toolkit enables the team to go directly into neighborhoods and engage with residents, listening to their concerns, understanding their needs, and collaborating on solutions. The EXP team is multilingual, multicultural, and mindful of accessibility in communications. From regional public workshops to social media, EXP will use the most effective communication method to ensure equitable engagement opportunities for a broad representation of the City of Opa-locka.

Project branding generates interest and provides easy access to project information. Public workshops and meetings create opportunities for discussions, sharing of project details, and gathering community input. A dedicated project website serves as a centralized hub for comprehensive information and feedback channels. Geographic Information Systems (GIS), such as ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS online tools, enhance understanding of project impacts through geospatial overlays, interactive mapping, visual StoryMaps, and data -driven dashboards. Social media platforms are utilized to disseminate timely information and encourage stakeholder engagement. Online surveys are employed to gather valuable feedback on travel patterns and inform planning decisions. Equitable engagement with traditionally underserved communities is a multifaceted strategy, which is described below. With a toolkit in place, we will ensure meaningful community involvement and effective communication throughout the project engagement process. 6 Figure 3: Public Engagement Toolkit Project Branding Project Branding will involve creating a unique and attention -grabbing name and brand identity for this effort. This helps generate interest and engagement among stakeholders, partners, and the public, while also making it easy to access project information. Stakeholder Engagement Ensuring that all interested parties, including partner agencies, are informed and engaged on this effort is key for the success of the program. Partner agencies, and the general public will be engaged throughout this effort, with a commitment that needs are met. Public Workshops/Meetings Public Workshops and Meetings are opportunities to facilitate productive interactions, present project information, gather public input, and encourage meaningful community engagement. These meetings will ensure the responsiveness to community needs and concerns. Pop-up Events Pop-up Events can showcase captivating mobile displays, effectively provide comprehensive project information, and actively engage the public, significantly enhancing community involvement and enthusiasm. Web The project website will be a dedicated online platform to provide detailed information about the project, including updates, news, and progress reports. It will also provide a way for stakeholders to give feedback on project issues and study products. ArcGIS ArcGIS seamlessly integrates photos, maps, and text, providing comprehensive project information and crucial geographical context. It will effectively help stakeholders visualize, comprehend, and understand project impacts on their local communities. Social Media Social Media platforms like Facebook, X, and Instagram effectively and efficiently disseminate timely project information, increase public involvement, and foster widespread stakeholder awareness and engagement. Online Survey Online surveys will effectively solicit valuable feedback from the community. Online surveys enhance understanding of travel patterns and attitudes, while informing crucial planning decisions that will impact the community. 7 1:Y.%)) PUBLIC OUTREACH AND EDUCATION In an effort to ensure extensive community involvement and awareness, part of our role encompasses organizing community engagement workshops, focus groups, and online surveys. These channels will gather insights from residents and stakeholders, establishing a feedback loop that directly informs the plan's recommendations and garners vital public support. Additionally, educational campaigns will be crafted to further promote safe road behavior. Our strategy places great emphasis on early engagement, beginning with internal education and a relatable outreach campaign that resonates with the community. By incorporating this strategy into the initial phases of the Vision Zero Action Plan, the City lays the foundation for widespread acceptance. Our strategy also helps embed Vision Zero principles into the City's operations, to showcase the City's unwavering commitment to safety. As the action plan unfolds, these proactive measures cultivate a culture of safety that surpasses infrastructure interventions and contributes to an overall safety - conscious community. The campaign slogans seen below are ideas we propose to implement, cleverly playing on the City's identity while aligning with a strategy relevant to all. '? COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL STRATEGY At EXP, we have a team of outreach experts that can develop targeted social media campaigns to disseminate crucial road safety information. Collaborating with the Miami -Dade School Board and UM's BikeSafe/WalkSafe, our team can promote road safety to targeted audiences, like students and parents, and virtual engagement offers an innovative approach to gather data and exploring unique strategies such as mobile workshops coordinated with events like food truck gatherings at high -concentration areas such as Amelia Earhart Park and Ingram Park, where families gather. VIS161711 �Z=R� Your Drive Impact Lives Figure 4: Safety Outreach and Education Campaigns TASK 4 - DATA COLLECTION AND REVIEW EXP's proficiency in data collection and inventorying is a cornerstone of our comprehensive approach to transportation and mobility planning. We have a seasoned team with extensive experience in a wide array of planning disciplines, including Vision Zero and safety studies, corridor studies, community and neighborhood planning, transportation planning, design and engineering, and growth -management. Our overarching goal is to create vibrant, thriving, connected, safe, equitable, and accessible communities and networks that offer high -quality services while preserving the natural and built environment, and community visions. Our approach is one that is data -driven, and leverages data on existing and proposed infrastructure, field investigation reports, crash and speed data, annual average daily traffic (AADT), turning movement counts (TMC), level of service (LOS), level of traffic stress (LTS), policies, and valuable public input to establish stakeholder consensus. We will compile a list of the desired data sets and propose data collection points and methods that will be a critical part of our systemic safety analysis, including data points like number and width of lanes, measured speeds, posted speeds, context classification and land use. These contextual and roadway factors may help us better understand where and why crashes may be occurring and proactively identify countermeasures to mitigate them. 8 ) LITERATURE REVIEW AND PEER CITY COMPARISON Our data collection effort will begin by performing a literature scan and review of the City's plans, policies, operations, and guidelines. This approach ensures that our recommendations take into consideration the goals, objectives, analyses, and guidelines/recommendations in the City's Comprehensive Development Master Plan, Five - Year Plan, Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Neighborhood Improvement Program, and Downtown Master Plan, among others. This is crucial to the overall CSAP development since it guarantees planning consistency and creates a roadmap for integrating the Safe Systems Approach and Vision Zero principles. Our team brings an extensive background and wealth of knowledge regarding regional Vision Zero policies and plans and national best practices. Through the literature review process, our team will use our extensive knowledge background to perform a peer city comparison to provide a summary of strategies other similar municipalities are using to address safety, identify programs that have evidence of measurable success, and provide an assessment of the best methods suitable application to the City of Opa-locka. ,) CRASH AND EQUITY DATA Our team has begun analyzing the most recent 6 -year period (2017 - 2023) crash data available through Signal 4 Analytics. On average, 2.17% (144 crashes) of 6,621 crashes that have occurred within the City of Opa-locka have resulted in a fatality (F) or serious injury (SI). Of these F&SI crashes, a disproportionate number involved pedestrians and bicyclist (18.75%), especially when considering that people walking and bicycling or using taxicabs, motorcycles, motor scooters, public transportation, or other means of transportation only account for 13.9% of commuters (2022 ACS 1 - year Estimate). Furthermore, of the 27 total fatal crashes, approximately 18.51% (5 crashes) involved pedestrians and bicyclists, and 22.92% of the total crashes (33 crashes) were a result of lane departures. Figures 5 and Figure 6 graph the 2017 - 2023 crashes by severity and mode. 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 ■SI F iSI+F 2023* 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Figure 5: 2017-2023 F&SI Crashes by Severity 9 i i Pedestrians and Bicyclists ® Motorcyclists and Motor Scooter Riders Commercial Motor Vehicle Operators 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 SI NI F Figure 6: 2017-2023 F&SI Crashes by Mode Our team will assess the quality and completeness of this data to then develop recommendations based on literature, policy, and data review on best analysis strategies and data requirements. For instance, based on our preliminary literature review of completed studies, we found that in Florida, between 2017 and 2023, pedestrian and bicycle crashes accounted for 4% of all crash but 28% of all fatalities, and that lane departures accounted for 33% of all fatalities. FDOT's root cause analysis of lane departure and bicycle and pedestrian crashes determined that these crashes often occur in suburban commercial contexts, on roads with 4 or more lanes and posted speed limits of 45 mph or higher. Such metrics will be used for comparison purposes to evaluate crash trends and behavior patterns. Sl+F Almost i of crashes in the City of Opa-locka occur during the afternoons with the majority of them occurring on Thursdays through Sunday, Additionally, such review of existing programs, policies, and activities will be summarized to provide local, regional, State, and Federal plans, studies, and/or initiatives that may be helpful in identifying opportunities to address transportation safety concerns in the City of Opa-locka. This will include reviewing strategies that other cities and counties are using to address safety, identify programs that have evidence of measurable success, and provide an assessment of the most effective and efficient methods used to achieve outcomes. Transportation, land use, and demographic data will also be evaluated. For instance, based on the Tri-Rail Bicycle and Pedestrian Needs Study recently completed by EXP on behalf of the Miami - Dade TPO, approximately 60% of train commuters using the Opa-locka Tri-Rail Station do so by riding the bus, cycling, or scooting to the station. However, despite being a popular multimodal facility, between 2017 and 2023, 72 pedestrian -related and 39 bicycle -related crashes occurred on nearby roads. Additionally, between 2017 and 2023, most F&SI crashes within the City of Opa-locka also occurred after 4:00 p.m., from Thursday to Sunday, and between March and April as well as between June and October as depicted in Figure 7 through Figure 9. This temporal distribution coincides with weekends and Summer, when more leisure trips happen, as well as between Memorial Day and Labor Day, which has been designated the 100 Deadliest Days for teen drivers. These and other metrics will be compared with similar -sized cities, including but not limited to, a review based on crashes per VMT and crashes per capita, and exposure to risk/crash risk. 10 SI ■ F ■ SI+F 20 15 10 5 0 Jan Feb 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 20 15 10 5 0 Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Figure 8: 2017-2023 F&SI Crashes by Day of the Week Mon Figure 7: 2017-2023 F&SI Crashes by Month • SI ■ F ■ SI+F SI ■ F ® SI+F Sun LI.JIIJ]lJJg.1IJjjJ1IJ 1 2 3 4 5 am 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 pm 7 8 9 10 11 12 Figure 9: 2017-2023 F&SI Crashes by Time of the Day 11 TASK 5 - SAFETY ANALYSIS Based on the preliminary results presented earlier, our experienced staff will conduct a thorough safety analysis to determine a historical baseline level of F&SI crashes and observed trends, study the locations of occurrence, as well as their severity, contributing factors, crash types, and relevant road users. These evaluation steps will guide the systemic and specific safety needs determination process to identify high -risk road features, safety needs by relevant road users, as well as public health and equity concerns. Such process will be used to further analyze F&SI crash frequency data, such as crash rates per regional Vehicles Miles Travel (VMT), to determine if clusters of crashes are occurring within the road network. A HIN will be then developed by grouping F&SI crash locations into roadway segments to determine a subset of the road network equal to 5-20% of total road mileage that captures 40% or more of the F&SI crashes. Once completed, our team will then present the draft safety analysis results and HIN to the PSC, other stakeholders, and the community to obtain input and build consensus. This task will be complemented by generating a citywide -specific Safety Risk Index (SRI) to evaluate and quantify the potential risks associated with pedestrian and bicycle travel on all roadways within the City of Opa-locka and its sphere of influence, without regard for ownership of the facility. This index will be designed to help identify and prioritize areas or factors that contribute to safety risks to take targeted measures to mitigate those risks. The index will consider various risk factors that can affect road safety, which may include road infrastructure quality, traffic congestion, weather conditions, driver behavior, and more. Data from various sources will be used to compile the index, including accident statistics, road condition assessments, traffic volume data, and weather information. The SRI and the HIN will identify areas where a disproportionate number of severe crashes occur to direct resources and interventions to address safety issues at these locations, These metrics will not assess the overall danger of the road network, however will rather indicate the specific corridors citywide that bear an elevated likelihood of severe injury or fatality. A preliminary HIN for the City of Opa-locka is depicted in Figure 10. • • • • Miami Opa•locka Executive Airport • • A 0 0 ❑ OM OILY#* • v \eaya E • • ,erk • Pie • • NW11951 • • •tt c SVy Legend t.: City of Opa-kxka • Vision Zero Priority Projects — High Injury Segments Equity Priority Areas Railroad • • • Figure 10: City of Opa-locka Preliminary HIN 12 Another metric to be developed is the Stress Level Index (SLI) for non -motorized users to assess the perceived level of stress or discomfort experienced by pedestrians and cyclists when using the road network in the municipality. This index will be used to evaluate the user -friendliness of roadways for non -motorized modes of transportation, such as walking and biking. The SLI will consider various factors and conditions that can contribute to stress for non -motorized users such as traffic volume, traffic speed, roadway width, and the presence of bicycle lanes or sidewalks, among other criteria. The goal of developing and using an SLI is to encourage the design and modification of roadways to better accommodate non -motorized users, making walking and cycling more attractive and safe modes of transportation. This index will be paired with a Multimodal Connectivity Index (MCI), needed to assess how well the road network supports multiple modes of transportation, such as walking, cycling, and public transit. It will help gauge the level of accessibility, convenience, and efficiency of transportation options within the City. Evaluation will include assessing how well the non -motorized network is safely connected to public transit stops and stations. This includes the density of transit stops along roadways and their proximity to key destinations. This assessment will also review the presence and quality of bike lanes and bike parking facilities along roadways, considering factors such as bike lane width, separation from vehicular traffic, and connectivity of the bike routes. The presence of sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and pedestrian -friendly infrastructure like benches and shade along roads will also be evaluated, looking at factors that encourage safe and comfortable walking. All three (3) indices will be later used for the development of a criteria matrix to identify potential locations where projects, strategies, and recommendations are needed to align the safety improvements with future grant opportunities, measures that can be included in regular maintenance cycles, and potential updates to the City of Opa-locka area jurisdictions to better align with safety best practices. TASK 6 - TRANSPORTATION EQUITY REVIEW Our team will use available GIS tools, as appropriate, to perform the equity analysis. These tools include the CEQ's Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST); USDOT's Equitable Transportation Community (ETC) Explorer, Screening Tool for Equity Analysis of Projects (STEAP), and Areas of Persistent Poverty and Historically Disadvantaged Communities lists; EPA's Environmental Justice (EJ) Screen; and CDC's PLACES. Underserved communities will be mapped, and an Equity Priority Index (EPI) will be developed to prioritize proposed improvements for the most vulnerable road users and underserved communities. This index will assess and prioritize safety projects or investments based on principles of equity and social justice. The goal of such an index is to ensure that the infrastructure development benefits all members of a community, including those who are traditionally underserved or marginalized. The index will be designed to promote equity in non -motorized transportation by addressing historical disparities, socioeconomic inequalities, and the unique needs of different communities. Equity principles may include a focus on vulnerable populations, such as low-income individuals, people with disabilities, and communities of color. Data related to demographics, income levels, access to transportation, and other relevant factors will be collected and analyzed to assess the existing disparities and needs within a region or community. 13 Equity assessment is key in the City of Opa- Iocka, requiring a multi -faceted approach. Identifying historically underserved areas is crucial, followed by overlaying crash data to highlight the need for intervention. This helps map out the High Injury Network (HIN) and determine potential locations for safety improvements. Transportation equity refers to how the impacts, both costs and benefits, are shared among project stakeholders and communities, with a goal of ensuring fairness to all. This review will depict how the current built environment impacts the lives of all users, including underserved and underrepresented residents in the City of Opa-locka. When conducting equity analyses, the EXP team evaluates the various concepts, including: . The types of transportation equity (e.g. external costs, inclusivity with regard to mobility needs and abilities, affordability, social justice, etc.) . Impact categories, including public facilities and services, user costs and benefits, service quality, economic impacts, and regulation and enforcement . Performance metrics, such as mobility versus accessibility -based planning and trips to life -sustaining activities . Categorization of people based on their needs, abilities, demographics, and geography.

Figure 12: City of Opa-locka Underserved Communities 14 We also adopt the strategies below when working in equity analyses, which have been identified as international best practices for achieving transportation equity. After applying those strategies during our transportation equity analysis, the EPI will be paired with the SRI, SLI, and MCI to analyze the systems, services, and processes that support safe and easy -to -use multimodal options, amenities that are accessible to all populations for reaching destinations independently, and strategies to reduce socioeconomic disparities experienced by underserved and underrepresented communities. Transportation barriers indicators such as accessibility, connectivity, mobility, safety, and the level of community engagement, among others, will be used to guide the development of the EPI. This index will also be used for the development of a criteria matrix to identify potential locations where projects, strategies, and recommendations are needed. Data to be used for the analysis include low- income households, zero -vehicle households, population under 15 -years old and over 65 - years old, population density, as well as distribution of population based on race and ethnicity, among others. ONLINE DATABASE AND TOOLS The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will make a historic down payment on deficit reduction to fight inflation, invest in domestic energy production and manufacturing, as well as will reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40% by 2030. Over $1.8B is being administered to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to issue grants for the improvement of walkability, safety, accessibility, and externality remediation as they relate to transportation, especially in disadvantaged communities. Funding can be applied for through the use of The U.S. DOT Equitable Transportation Community (ETC) Explorer. The ETC Explorer is an interactive web application that uses 2020 Census Tracts and data to explore the cumulative burden communities experience as a result of underinvestment in transportation in the following five components: Transportation Insecurity, Climate and Disaster Risk Burden, Planning Reforms:1 these policy changes create more affordable and efficient transportation systems through developing, or redeveloping, more multimodal communities. Fair Share:1 this policy enables multimodal infrastructure and services to receive more public resources, as traditionally most funding is fed to roadway capacity projects. the adoption of certain policies, such as complete streets and incentive programs may decrease the utilization of automobiles, which will in turn decrease external costs. Automobile utilization has the highest external costs of all modes, after wear and tear of the infrastructure and the cost of crashes. ensuring everyone has access to life sustaining activities, including employment, healthcare, basic shopping, recreation, and civic activities, is imperative, especially when planning for transportation systems near environmental justice communities.

By utilizing the ETC Explorer and other relevant online tools, the team will be able to analyze data, identify areas of need, and justify grant applications that address walkability, safety, accessibility, and externality remediation in transportation, particularly in disadvantaged communities. This strategic approach will help maximize the chances of securing funding under the Inflation Reduction Act, and will contribute to the broader goals of deficit reduction, energy production, manufacturing, and carbon emissions reduction.

TASK 7 -DASHBOARD AND TOOLKIT k ,) PROGRESS & TRANSPARENCY Our team's staff is uniquely qualified to help the City of Opa-locka develop a useful and reliable public tracking mechanism. Our team member Isaac Pickney, from Consor, is currently helping Miami -Dade County develop their first Vision Zero Dashboard, and our team can transfer that knowledge into building the City's own dashboard that is in line with regional and national indicators. Our team understands the importance of measuring Vision Zero progress reliably. Not only will a great dashboard and indicators create opportunities for additional funding from FHWA and FDOT, these tools will also allow the City staff to easily prove the fruits of their labor and will help educate citizens and visitors through interactive functions and reliable information. Figure 15 shows some indicators we have developed that are reliable measures of progress towards the adopting the Safe Systems Approach and eliminating fatal and serious injury crashes. We will prepare a methodology for the City's review to measure progress over time to ensure that ongoing transparency is established with the public and other key stakeholders.

Our dashboard will also include a recommended update schedule for the CSAP and maintenance schedule for all public -facing components. DATA VISUALIZATION, GRAPHICS, AND TOOLKIT Working together with our engineers, planners, and community outreach specialists, our graphic designers are able to enhance the City's CSAP and Vision Zero Dashboard by developing a safety toolkit and graphics that: . Concisely present complex data and information, making it more accessible and understandable by a diverse population at a glance. . Simplify communication by presenting safety behaviors, strategies, and interventions in 2D or 3D images that reduce the need of extensive explanation. . Enhance memorability by engaging visual, verbal, and mathematical skills to increase audience comprehension and recall. . Increase engagement by creating vibrant and dynamic animations that are interactive and create an environment for more robust user experience. . Improve storytelling by weaving a strong narrative throughout the development of the CSAP that is encourages further interest and engagement with the City's future Vision Zero efforts. Our toolkit will easily explain the benefits and disbenefits of different safety countermeasures depending on the typical contexts throughout the City. Our toolkit will focus on interventions that can be developed within the identified HIN and will also educate audiences on how these safety countermeasures are properly used. 17 TASK 8 - IMPLEMENTATION MATRIX Our team will develop proposed improvements with the recognition that, to attain the goal of zero fatalities, the proposed improvements will have to focus on more than just infrastructure. Our team will evaluate all aspects of the Safe System Approach and propose programs of improvements in the areas of public engagement and education (Safe Road Users), transportation policy and infrastructure (Safe Vehicles, Speeds, and Roads), and Vision Zero program maintenance and progress along with policy and Committee administration of actions (Post -Crash Care). EXP will provide data - driven, informed improvements that are effective in achieving the goal of reducing and eliminating traffic -related severe injuries and fatalities. An essential aspect of the Vision Zero approach involves identifying policies that span short-, mid-, and long-term timeframes. Our team will not only conduct the policy review but also formulate a strategy for policy changes. This approach guarantees a dynamic policy landscape, catering to immediate safety concerns and facilitating enduring systemic improvements, which will require a collaborative partnership with and assistance of members of the PSC to ensure a seamless integration and enforcement of these policies. Proposed policy improvements may include but will not be limited to context -sensitive design based on land use and zoning, target speed/speed reduction measures, and the prioritization of infrastructure spending in HIN corridors and/or areas with the disproportionally high environmental impacts and health disadvantaged communities. STRATEGY AND PROJECT SELECTION Prioritizing infrastructure projects, outreach strategies, and policy improvements requires a thoughtful screening process that balances quantitative and qualitative data to ensure the most impactful projects are prioritized. To accomplish this, we will develop a Safety Risk Index (SRI), a Equity Priority Index (EPI), a Stress Level Index (SLI), and a Multimodal Connectivity Index (MIC).

These safety improvements will include Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Proven Safety Countermeasures and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Countermeasures That Work such as better road design, traffic calming measures, improved visibility, or enhanced pedestrian and cyclist facilities. Additionally, a Cost -Benefit Index (CBI) will be developed to access the economic viability and potential benefits of these road safety infrastructure projects. This index helps our staff determine whether a proposed road project is worth pursuing based on a comparison of its expected benefits to its associated costs. The CBI typically calculates the Net Present Value (NPV), which is the difference between the present value of benefits and the present value of costs. A positive NPV will indicate that the project is expected to generate more benefits than costs. Another common metric is the Benefit -Cost Ratio (BCR), which is calculated by dividing the present value of benefits by the present value of costs. A BCR greater than 1.0 will suggest that the project is economically justified. Improvements will be scored by adding each project's SRI, SLI, MCI, and CBI scores as depicted in Table 4. A project readiness timeline will also be developed to be factored in for each strategy, establishing short-term (0-2 years), mid-term (3-4 years), and long-term (5+ years) implementation periods. Once prioritized, future grant opportunities will be Identified for each improvement and their benefits will be tied back to the Progress Indicators identified in Task 7 so City staff can track the progress towards zero deaths and serious injuries. Moreover, the implementation plan will outline fiscal and staff time resources necessary for a continued, sustained, and successful effort to achieve traffic safety goals that meet the Safe Streets for All's objectives after plan adoption. Table 4: Implementation Matrix TASK 9 - ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT AND FINAL PLAN Creating a comprehensive safety action plan for Vision Zero involves a multifaceted approach aimed at eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries. Our team is led by safety advocates, and as such, we will prioritize human life over all other factors on the road. We will adhere to Section A.i., Table 1 "Action Plan Components" as outlined in the FY22 NOFO (#20.939) during the development of a set of recommendations in a final report for review and comment by the City Staff and City Council. The Plan will specify how the City of Opa-locka can improve safety outcomes by prioritizing evidence -based proposed improvements that address findings and conclusions from previous tasks. Non -infrastructure recommendations will be developed based on clear evidence of success, while enforcement recommendations will be vetted with the PSC, community, and City staff before being proposed. The Plan will also tie to regional and state frameworks and the report will be visually appealing for easy comprehension by policymakers, stakeholders, and the public. EXP will assist the City with the final approval process, providing clarification regarding key implications as they relate to policies, programs, practices, strategies, infrastructure projects, funding, and other proposed improvements. IMPLEMENTATION Metric MATRIX Score Safety Risk Index (SRI) 0 -10 Stress Level Index (SLI) 0 - 5 Equity Priority Index (EPI) 0 -10 Multimodal Connectivity Index (MCI) 0 - 5 Cost -Benefit Index (CBI) 0 - 1 Project Readiness 0 - 3 19 The Plan will also compare priority projects identified for Miami -Dade County as part of the 2021 Vision Zero Framework Plan with projects resulting from the City's Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. County projects were prioritized using the total weighted score of the top 50 Countywide priority Vision Zero safety projects, evaluating crashes, equity, as well as safe access to existing and future transit. DISTRICT I PRIORITY PROJFCIS Figure 18: Miami -Dade District 1 Vision Zero Priority Projects To provide Miami -Dade County's program flexibility, five projects within each Commission District were identified to be implemented over the next 5 years. These projects are separated based on right-of-way jurisdiction or ownership. The top five priority projects, whether located on the County - owned roads, on municipal -owned roads, or that are multijurisdictional, were noted as year -one. Then, the next five priority projects were noted as year -two, up to year -five as see in Figure 18. For instance, Sharazad Boulevard in the City pf Opa-locka, between Ahmad Street and Kalandar Street has been ranked as the ninth year -one, top priority project in Miami -Dade County's Top 50 projects. Another example in Opa-locka is SR 916/NW 135 Street between SR 9/NW 27 Avenue and NW 26 Court, which is listed as a year -five, multijurisdictional top safety project for Miami -Dade District 2. It is important to note that the top priority project location countywide is just a couple blocks outside city limits, on NW 154 Street, between NW 22 Avenue and NW 20 Avenue. Hence, with the recent award of $16.2 million Implementation Grant under the SS4A program to Miami -Dade County, the calibration between county and municipal Vision Zero plans is crucial for the effective and coordinated implementation of traffic safety initiatives citywide. When both county and municipal entities align their efforts, several benefits arise such as: Consistency and Continuity in the approach to road safety across different jurisdictions. Consistent strategies and messaging contribute to a unified and easily understood safety framework for both drivers and pedestrians. Resource Optimization by pooling resources, avoiding duplication, and optimizing the use of funding and personnel. This can lead to more efficient implementation of safety measures, such as improved road designs, signage, and enforcement. Unified Vision and Goals ensures that all involved entities are working towards the same objectives, reducing conflicts and complementing efforts rather than being contradictory. Political and Community Support resulting from a clear and coordinated effort that builds consensus and gains the necessary support for implementing sometimes challenging safety measures. Adaptability to Local Context since the City of Opa-locka has unique challenges that require specific solutions, and a calibrated approach allows for the flexibility to address these issues appropriately. 20 TASK 10 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/FACT SHEET Our team is well -versed in distilling intricate and multifaceted information encapsulated within the CSAP into concise, and also comprehensive executive summaries and fact sheets. We begin this process by meticulously sorting through a myriad of data, identifying the pivotal aspects including major assumptions, core strategies, and impactful recommendations. Structuring this information strategically is paramount, and we achieve this by implementing a systematic approach that involves the use of formatting techniques, such as color coding and clear headers, to enhance readability. To amplify the clarity and accessibility of the summary, we utilize visual aids, such as infographics, maps, graphs, and charts. These visual representations serve to communicate complex statistics, highlight trends, and underscore the essence of the plan's key points, making hard data easily digestible for all audiences. In structuring the summary, we meticulously segment the content into distinct sections, each addressing a crucial facet of the safety plan. These sections serve as focal points, highlighting the nuances of risk assessment, mitigation strategies, future projections, and more. By employing descriptive titles and organizing information in a logical sequence, we facilitate seamless comprehension and navigation throughout the documents. Ultimately, our approach distills complex information into a clear, concise, and visually engaging format that allows readers to understand the CSAP, and it culminates in a compelling call to action that underscores the significance of the plan's implementation. By summarizing the benefits and impacts of the strategies and projects proposed within the plan, we motivate stakeholders to take actions that advance safety objectives. TASK 1 1 - DELIVERABLES One of our core strengths lies in our proficiency in developing deliverables and final documents that not only meet the highest standards of quality, but also include a vital public involvement element. We are committed to fostering community engagement and transparency throughout the planning process. As such, we'll produce a draft document that is primed for public review, soliciting valuable input and insights from the residents and business owners within Opa-locka. This iterative approach ensures that the plan reflects the community's visions, needs, and concerns, aligning with the principles of Vision Zero. We want to make sure that this plan is truly reflective of all voices within the community. EXP will use the information generated from the preceding tasks to develop the City's first CSAP, including layout/design, infographics, data, mapping, more expansive appendices with additional information, and an Executive Summary. In addition to providing a high -resolution document in PDF format, EXP will provide the City will all data and study products, including infographics, maps, and feedback collected. Furthermore, we excel in the finalization of documents, being able to prepare printed documents for distribution. This involves the production of printed and bound documents, creating a tangible resource that can be shared with key stakeholders, policymakers, and the broader public. To ensure broad accessibility and enhance equity, all of our printed and web documents will follow guidance from the US Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division regarding Accessibility of State and Local Government Websites to People with Disabilities accessibility, and ADA Requirements: Effective Communication. Our commitment to the tangible dissemination of the CSAP underscores our dedication to making it accessible and actionable for everyone involved. With EXP's expertise, the City of Opa-locka will be well prepared to produce a comprehensive, visually engaging, and community -driven Plan. 21 TASK 12 - VISION ZERO NETWORK COMMUNITIES APPLICATION After the Final Report and Vision Zero ordinance/resolution are adopted, EXP is available to help the City submit a request for recognition as a Vision Zero Community by the Vision Zero Network. The Vision Zero Network is a collaborative nonprofit campaign to help communities reach their goals of zero traffic deaths and serious injuries. The Vision Zero Network offers support and resources for all communities committing to Vision Zero. At EXP, we believe this recognition will further the City's reputation and knowledge base and will increase opportunities to make progress toward the goals and objectives set in this CSAP. VIStOH 44:t.NITWORK More than communities have committed to Vision Zero in the U.S. Experience and Qualifications EXP's team has extensive experience in conducting Roadway Safety Analyses (RSA) for various agencies and multimodal project types. Prior to conducting an RSA, we select a team of objective individuals who bring international expertise to a given project. The professionals are designated as the Analysis Team and will be the subject matters dedicated to a specified project. We have completed safety analyses for a number of projects throughout the state including the CR-108 Roadway Safety Audit, the Town of Miami Lakes NW 154 Street and Miami Lakeway North Safety Study, Port Saint Lucie Village Parkway and Traditions Parkway Protected Intersection Study, the Blackrock Road Sidewalk Gap Analysis, and the Felmor Road Safety Analysis as part of the Safe Routes to School grant application. Based on this experience, we begin our RSAs with a review of historical crash data, identifying clusters of crashes that will allow us to pinpoint high -crash -frequency segments and intersections along a given corridor. Once we identify high -hazard areas, we dive further into the crash analysis to note any trends in crash types on the approaches to the hazard area. For example, a high instance of rear -end collisions at a signalized intersection may suggest that there is inadequate advisory signage or stopping sight distance for drivers on a horizontal or vertical curve. Our safety experts generate a crash diagram that graphically highlights trends and patterns along a subject corridor. We also consider crash severity and whether bicyclists or pedestrians were involved to ensure implementation of a safe systems approach and safety for all users. We follow this crash safety investigation with a site visit to the field to identify any design flaws or lacking safety features that could be contributing to the high frequency of crashes. Our field reviews include geometric assessment, signage inventory assessment, speed data collection, lighting assessment, facility obstacle review, and useful life of infrastructure reviews. We also observe pedestrian, cyclist, and driver behaviors to identify any unusual trends. For example, cyclists that choose to ride their bikes on the sidewalk might indicate a high Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress on the facility. Our Team scores these criteria as well as the Pedestrian Level of Traffic Stress based on the following factors depicted in Table 5 and Table 6. 22 Table 5: Factors Affecting Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress BICYCLE LEVEL OF TRAFFIC STRESS FACTORS Context Classification On -street Parking Type of Bicycle Facility Width of Bicycle Facility Speed limit Separation of Facility from Corridor MDT Slope Table 6: Factors Affecting Pedestrian Level of Traffic Stress PEDESTRIAN LEVEL OF TRAFFIC STRESS FACTORS Context Classification Sidewalk Presence Horizontal Sidewalk Separation Unobstructed Path Speed limit Vertical Sidewalk Separation While our experts conduct the technical review of the RSA, our team of Public Involvement specialists conduct community outreach to engage all users, including those most vulnerable, to listen and learn about the local resident experience. No one knows the day-to-day safety concerns better than those who face them regularly. Understanding the feedback from the public as far as personal near -crash experiences or simply understanding connectivity issues that could reroute pedestrians and cyclists away from potentially dangerous dangerous vehicular areas is critical to understanding the holistic picture of how the facilities can best be improved. Our technical team compiles all the data from the crash history, field review, and resident surveys and develops an illustrative report demonstrating areas of concern, outlining findings of analysis, and documenting feasible short- and long-term solutions for implementation to enhance safety. Our recommendations are based on weighted scoring criteria leveraging quantifiable metrics that account for high -risk road features, specific safety needs of relevant users, public health, the built environment, demographics, and structural features. We also include a cost estimate for each proposed improvement, helping the City of Opa-locka identify projects that could see immediate improvement, interim improvement, and long-term improvement through benefit -cost -analysis (BCA). This methodology comes from our significant participation in projects such as the 2050 Miami -Dade Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, the Miami Downtown Mobility Master Plan Update, the Safe Routes to School FY2022-23 grant funding applications, as well as other efforts such as the NW 154 Street and Miami Lakeway North Intersection Safety Study, the South Miami -Dade Trail Connectors, the Miami -Dade County Transportation Master Plan, the US -1 Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge Feasibility Study, and the efforts related to Enhancing Safe Routes to School Program along the South Dade Trail. Decision -making for all these projects has been rooted in following the Miami - Dade Vision Zero Framework's guidelines that include performing data analysis as well as developing project prioritization criteria, engineering design tools, engagement framework, and actionable and time -bound strategies, considering Miami -Dade County's Vision Zero goal to end traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2040 while increasing safe, reliable, sustainable, and equitable mobility for all. For instance, during the development of concept alternatives and multimodal improvements for both the NW 36 Street Multimodal Corridor Study and the NW 67 Avenue Freight Intermodal Analysis, EXP hosted multiple walking audits, which were attended by different stakeholders and volunteers such as AARP Florida. This type of outreach helped identify locations where creating safer road environments for all users was urgently needed to reduce the number of crashes, injuries, and fatalities in close coordination with the Village of Virginia Gardens, the City of Miami Springs, FDOT District Six, and Miami -Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW). 23 EXP provides cost-effective planning, design, and public information services that align with the objectives of Vision Zero. For instance, EXP prepared a set of recommendations for all five (5) Tri- Rail Stations in Miami -Dade County, including the one in Opa-locka, to address bicycle and pedestrian safety needs after collecting and analyzing comprehensive crash data to identify trends, high -risk areas, and contributing factors to crashes. Commuter station -specific HINs were developed to allocate resources for road safety initiatives, infrastructure improvements, and educational campaigns, using data to inform decision -making and prioritize interventions as part of the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Street Transportation Enhancements Program (STEP) from the Miami -Dade TPO Urban Mobility and Non -Urban Core Task Forces. EXP also integrates environmentally friendly practices into their planning and design processes, considering the broader environmental impact of their projects. We strive to protect natural habitats and resources by implementing green infrastructure and sustainable design principles. This commitment to sustainability ensures the creation of resilient and environmentally conscious communities within Vision Zero, where the integration of sustainability and Vision Zero concepts that can lead to more holistic, resilient, and people -centric urban environments that prioritize safety, mobility, and resiliency. For the "Wedge Parcel" Truck Parking Feasibility Study part of the Miami - Dade Truck Parking Implementation Master Plan, EXP led evaluated pedestrian -friendly environments, safe cycling infrastructure, and efficient public transportation as a requirement to implement freight infrastructure improvements within the urban context of this site to reduce reliance on individual vehicles for access. With a focus on sustainable design, this approach aimed at reducing pollution and environmental degradation, indirectly enhancing road safety by minimizing potential road hazards to create a more livable and resilient environment surrounding this potential truck parking site. EXP has been conducting walking audits in traditionally underserved communities or historical underinvestment, to draw attention to the need for equitable distribution of resources and infrastructure. As part of the City of Hialeah 2050 Master Plan, EXP alongside Urbe Studio, collected evidence to support policy changes or investments on E 4 Avenue, a high -injury corridor identified in the 2021 Miami -Dade Vision Zero Framework to address systemic safety issues related to poverty and inequality within the communities adjacent to the former Hialeah Park and the Hialeah Metrorail Station. With a HIN already established in the area, the We possess both local and national experience in developing Vision Zero Action Plans Figure 19: Walking Audit in Miami Springs (top) and Safety Concerns on NW 36 Street (bottom) team focused on identifying physical barriers or deficiencies in infrastructure that are hindering accessibility, safety, or mobility for community members. This firsthand data on the condition of the built environment, pedestrian amenities, and safety concerns, was then provided to Miami -Dade DTPW to be used to effectively prioritize and allocate resources for necessary safety improvements in line with the Miami -Dade County's Vision Zero goal of zero road fatalities by 2040. 24 Walking and biking audits also provide community leaders and residents with a way to identify unsafe roadway conditions, gather and document needed information and observations to then advocate for solutions to make streets safer for all users. For instance, EXP conducted a walking as part of the multiple public outreach efforts to engage the communities adjacent to the NW 36 Street for a Multimodal Corridor Study in the area. Our team created a StoryMap to showcase the walking audit entries that were submitted by 30 participants at the event, which took place, covering a length of 1.2 mile segment of this corridor from NE 57 Avenue to Lee Drive. EXP team members have also led biking audits such as the "Florida Bicycle Month" celebratory bicycle ride along the S -Line with City of Jacksonville residents, 'advocates, partners, and staff where we identified safety concerns and provided recommendations along the S -Line, Jacksonville's first dedicated urban pathway. This pathway runs for about 4.8 miles and follows an old CSX railway trackage, and it connects four (4) urban neighborhoods. While the S -Line is ridable, it is not yet complete, with another 1.3 -miles planned, part of the planned 30 - mile Emerald Trail Master Plan. Figure 20: Scooter rider at the Opa-locka Tri- Rail Station These audits are conducted using an interactive smart phone tool, similar to Build Better Opa-locka, that captures data in the field through geolocation. The user enters a location -specific comment, in addition to a photo, which is then directly transmitted to our team's GIS server. From there, we utilize ArcGIS tools to develop an interactive map that tells the story of the corridor, while helping viewers visualize and understand the concerns identified. Based on these experiences, our team has gained valuable insights into the importance of conducting walking and biking audits as we continue to refine our data -driven approach. By engaging with City staff, project stakeholders, and community members, we have realized that these audits are essential for collecting field data and comprehending the unique needs of the communities we serve. EXPERIENCE WITH TRANSPORTATION SAFETY IN AN URBAN CONTEXT The EXP team has robust experience in safety and transportation planning on all scales, inclusive of both large and small urban contexts. Such expertise has been essential for addressing the unique challenges posed by the combination of cautious drivers, limited safe pedestrian crossings, diverse modes of transportation, and close community engagement, which are typical of small urban settings, allowing safety measures to not only be effective but also tailored to the specific needs of the local communities. Figure 21: Walking Audit in Hialeah We have done this work throughout the State of Florida, helping us manage and mitigate the risks associated with a large number of people navigating the limited space available (Refer to Appendix B for more information regarding our past projects and expertise). Additionally, our team also includes individuals who have actually worked with local agencies to develop and adopt Vision Zero policies and Action Plans. Consequently, our focus will be ensuring that the goals and objectives of 25 Vision Zero are incorporated in the planning process, which is reflected in our approach to developing a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan for the City of Opa-locka. WORKING TOWARDS A MUCH SAFER SOUTH FLORIDA Prior to joining EXP, Ivan Jimenez was the Complete Streets and Vision Zero Coordinator for Miami -Dade County's Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW). In this role, he was responsible for leading Complete Streets and safety projects on County roadways and coordinating with municipalities to identify eligible projects for inclusion in the County's Vision Zero Action Plan, to assist them with funding and implementation in outer years. • Walking and Biking Audits are important during the Discovery Phase of Safety Issues During Ivan's tenure with Miami -Dade County as the DTPW Program Manager from 2022 to 2023, he was responsible for a substantial $13.7 million budget dedicated to advancing the Vision Zero Program. His responsibilities also encompassed requesting a $16.2 million Implementation Grant under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, which was recently awarded. He was also involved with securing $7.19 million in Congressional Earmarks, accessing $4.2 million from the FDOT High Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), obtaining $965 thousand from the Transportation Alternative Program, and securing $150 thousand from the National Safety Council Road to Zero grant. Similarly, and on a smaller scale, during her time as the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency's (TPA) Pedestrian and Bicycle Coordinator, EXP's Alyssa Goldberg was responsible for helping lead Palm Beach County's charge on safety and Vision Zero and working with municipalities of all shapes and sizes to adopt policies and develop Action Plans. In this role, she assisted with the development and adoption of Vision Zero policies in the Cities of Belle Glade, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, and Village of Palm Springs, and led the facilitation of various safety projects and studies.

This program, which Alyssa led while at the TPA, is aimed at collaboratively identifying pedestrian and bicycle issues by experiencing the built environment to enhance safety and accessibility for people of all ages and abilities. VISI 6-11R ZE R�1 Your Drive Impact Lives Our traffic engineers ARE FiG&,1ILf cauu.ipm AND ?IN'ERII N ; 'D in analyzing crash data and proposing effective countermeasures that balance institutional constraints and planning consistency POLICYMAKING IN SMALL MUNICIPALITIES Small urban areas may have limited infrastructure compared to larger cities. This can pose challenges in terms of road design, traffic management, and the implementation of safety measures. Experience in this context is valuable for finding innovative and practical solutions within resource constraints. For instance, as the former City Engineer of West Palm Beach, Uyen Dang, from DDEC, played an important role in transforming transportation elements within the City and initiating Palm Beach County's first Vision Zero policy and initiatives. Using mobility, complete streets, and Vision Zero, Uyen helped the City secure over $70 million in federal grants and established a transportation capital improvement program. Additionally, she played a crucial role in the City of West Palm Beach Reconnecting Communities and Safe Streets for All Fund Strategies, working on grant narratives for federal fund submissions that connect transit, micro -mobility, and rail. CityFi also brings invaluable expertise to our team, drawing from their extensive experience in urban areas of all sizes, including Miami -Dade County and Omaha, Nebraska. Their contributions, led by CityFi's Karla Peralta, span the orchestration of informative workshops, fostering comprehensive understanding among policymakers, and the creation of tools that promote the long-term success of the plan, emphasizing safety improvements. Their adept establishment of a flexible Vision Zero Evaluation Criteria measures project success and guides enhancements. In tandem, their role in Omaha's Vision Zero Action Plan involves a comprehensive landscape assessment, the identification of best practices tailored to the city's unique context, and the formulation of performance metrics. These efforts, extending beyond traditional infrastructure measures to encompass communication strategies, community engagement, and innovative enforcement alternatives, underline CityFi's pivotal role in driving Vision Zero forward. RAIL SAFETY When planning for rail safety, our team is focused on the South Florida Rail Corridor (SFRC), which serves Amtrak long-distance and Tri-Rail commuter train services. According to a report by The Associated Press, there have been a total of 98 deaths in incidents involving trains between Miami and West Palm Beach since Brightline passenger service began. This information is based on the news organization's analysis of federal train -crash data dating back to 2019. The high number of fatalities underscores the significance of ongoing safety concerns in the region. 27 Ensuring rail safety around the Opa-locka Tri- Rail Station in the heart of the City is of utmost importance, as almost 8,000 passengers use this station on average during the week. Consequently, it is imperative that the planning efforts incorporate a crucial railroad safety component to guarantee safe access to the commuter train station. This proactive approach is essential to prepare for future multimodal trips as they continue to grow in popularity to and from the Opa-locka Tri-Rail Station as more mass transit users, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor scooter riders, choose to commute through the region without a motor vehicle. Drawing from DDEC's experience in establishing quiet zones and rail safety initiatives for the Cities of West Palm Beach and Riviera Beach, our team possesses the expertise to guide the establishment of train - horn regulations areas within city boundaries, enhancing safety without compromising the community's quality of life. Balancing between safety and minimizing noise disturbances for the surrounding community remains a key goal as part of our safety efforts. This requires inspecting and validating that all at grade crossing have the proper Supplemental Safety Measures (SSM) installed per permitting requirements. It also involves collecting traffic data to ensure that Rail Inventory Forms are up to date, while maintaining an ongoing working relationship with the Federal Railway Administration (FRA). The development and implementation of quiet zones and horn management strategies are vital elements in this proactive safety approach, leveraging our team's experience in similar initiatives. Lastly, as part of our ongoing Safe Systems Planning, we will prepare reports documenting train crash data to inform both immediate and long-term safety improvements. These reports will be focusing on crashes within the HIN, considering incidents occurring at and around rail crossings at NW 135 Street, Dunad Avenue, Opa-locka Boulevard, Codadad Street, NW 27 Avenue, and NW 22 Avenue. This effort will result in identifying locations with broader rail traffic safety concerns for further evaluation. Figure 24: Opa-locka Tri-Rail Station Platform Figure 25: Opa-locka Tri-Rail Station Bus Bays Figure 26: Opa-locka Tri-Rail Station Bicycle Parking 28 EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN In alignment with our dedication to rail safety and the demand for public safety awareness education, Team members at DDEC are actively involved in the development of an educational campaign called "Keepin' it Rail Safe." This campaign is specifically designed to educate grade school children on rail safety behavioral adoption, preparing them for any future rail -related developments. This planning effort is currently underway in the City of West Palm Beach, and it has proven to be a community priority with the presence of the new Brightline services to Orlando with train speeds exceeding 110 mph. DDEC is also collaborating with a local nonprofit called RISE to conduct preferential surveys digitally and engage in equitable faith -based outreach to residents who lack internet access, ensuring that rail safety education reaches every corner of the community. As we advance these initiatives and promote rail safety awareness, we remain committed to fostering a culture of safety around the Opa-locka Tri-Rail Station. This proactive stance ensures that safety measures are in place, and lays the foundation for a safer, more equitable, and harmonious community. Our partners at DDEC conduct annual analyses of railroad crossing inventories to identify areas that require improvement for upcoming projects and programming. In addition, they have assisted municipalities with making significant capital investments based on thorough public engagement before drafting Capital Improvements Plans (CIP). As part of their effort with the City of West Palm Beach, they are developing innovative programs, such as the Rail Safety Ambassador Program, in partnership with local girl scouts and the non- profit organization RISE. These initiatives demonstrate our team's commitment to robust and effective rail safety planning. One of the rail safety campaigns developed by DDEC is designed to be engaging and less complicated than most information available. It is tailored towards children to ensure they understand and enjoy it. At EXP, we believe that educating children on rail safety is crucial, as they are often the ones who use public transportation with their families. To make campaigns kid friendly, DDEC has incorporated fun and interactive activities, such as coloring pages, as part of their "Keepin' It Rail Safe" in the City of West Palm Beach. They have also made sure to use language that is easy for children to understand, avoiding using jargon or technical terms. By doing this, campaigns are more accessible to children of all ages and backgrounds. Figure 27: Rail Safety Workshop in West Palm Beach Figure 28: "Keepin' it Rail Safe" Campaign Based on this educational campaign experience, our team plans to partner with local schools and community organizations to spread awareness about rail safety and provide hands-on learning experiences. This will include visits to the Opa-locka Tri-Rail Station with talks from rail safety experts just as the outreach campaigns Ivan Jimenez and Jesus Fuentes were involved with as part of the Operation Statewide Traffic and Railroad Initiative Using Dynamic Envelopes (STRIDE) for FDOT District 6, and the 2023 Rail Safety Week for the South Florida Regional Transportation 29 Authority (SFRTA) and the Miami -Dade TPO, respectively.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND DESIGN WORKSHOPS Fabian is often invited to facilitate and develop programs for engaging community members, public officials and staff, and industry professionals for the purposes of reaching informed consensus on planning and design initiatives. Activities often include facilitated walking audits, workshops, public meetings, or outreach strategies for entire projects. He has coordinated and facilitated charrettes/workshops, conducted one-on-one interviews, and applied both hand - drawn graphics and digital media to effectively engage community members in communicating ideas, input, and discussion. LIVABLE TRANSPORTATION & COMPLETE STREETS Fabian has been involved in several Complete Streets projects for a variety of agencies and state transportation departments in Florida and New Jersey, among others. These projects focused on developing multi -modal context -sensitive solutions that support community goals, cater to the access and mobility needs of all users, and are financially and economically sound. Fabian led between 2016-2017 the concept development and implementation of a Complete Streets pilot project featuring the first bus -only lane and dedicated bicycle lane in Downtown Miami. Miami ranks among the top metropolitan areas with the highest pedestrian and bicycle crash rates in the country, underscoring a critical need to allow people more transportation choices. This project repurposed a downtown corridor into a multimodal street that provides transit priority and expands mobility choices to all street users. He recently also developed Complete Streets concept alternatives for NW 9th and NW 7th Avenues in Fort Lauderdale and for Atlantic Shores Blvd in Hallandale Beach.

The goal for was to implement a demonstration project along Curry Ford Road between Bumby Avenue and Crystal Lake Drive in the City of Orlando. The showcased improve- ments through this demonstration were planned to increase safety, lower driving speeds, better accommodate pedestrians and cyclists along the cor- ridor, and encourage driving behavior that is acceptable to neighbors and sensitive to its context. Fabian led this project while employed with Kittelson & Associates.The project team worked with City of Orlando staff to develop a concept plan and permit package for the implementation of the demonstration project. The final plan, which has been implemented and opened to the public, redesigned a half mile segment of a five -lane arterial into a narrower, safer street, introduc- ing protected bike lanes along both sides of the street, and a mid -block crossing island with median refuge for pedestrians, in order to provide an additional safe crossing opportunity along this busy street. Objectives for this project included: Showcasing a street redesign that created a safer and more comfortable environment for all street users and is also business friendly; Creating an opportunity to engage the commu- nity as part of a learning/test process with hopes that it served as a model that could be replicated in other ar- eas; Building a stronger relationship with OrangeCountyand other partner agencies in order to achieve common goals. ❑rmo:,;lration r, :r,t•.::r„4, 59% VEHICLES 19,000 v EHICLEs r:. 5% rnn!Flc 26% tAAPPIC Client/Protect Owner City of Orlando Status Completed in 2018 Proposed Concept Implemented Project 1,450 RESIDENTS 40% p jkfiAA " AA AAA 89% , 1,9% rinaot=trr>s PEDESTRIANS 55% fei VEHICLES YIELDED 0.6% ai'sioinn 78.3% nssiD'ata www.urbe-studio.com / info@urbe-studio.com r e STUDIO COrnrr unity I Places I P67bilitY Expertise Community Workshops Stakeholder Facilitation Public Agency Coordination Mulomodal Corridor Planning Complete Streets Alternatives Development Context Sensitive Design Solutions Graphics & Storytelling Strategic Communications Services 000 L�l Livable Transportation Community Engagement Project Management & Coordination SE/SW 1st Street Complete Streets Pilot Project ■ ■ Complete Streets Pilot Project Implementation Miami consistently ranks among the top metropolitan areas with highest pedestrian and bicycle crash rates in the country, underscoring a critical need to provide for more transpor- tation choices. The Miami DDA part- nered with Miami -Dade County and City of Miami to implement a Com- plete Streets pilot project in the heart of Downtown Miami in response to the 2015 U.S. Department of Trans- portations Mayor's Challenge for Safer People and Safer Streets. Fabian led this project while employed with the Downtown Miami Development Au- thority. SE/SW 1st Street is a three lane, one- way corridor within Downtown Miami's CBD heading eastbound. Through this project, and as part of Miami DDA's team, we led a team of experts in the development of a street redesign con- cept and implementation plan for SE/ SW 1st street. A design workshop was held in April 2016 where key stake- holder groups were engaged and giv- en the opportunity to provide input through a participatory process. Start- er ideas were vetted and project goals confirmed.The plans for the pilot proj- ect aimed to address pedestrian safety and connectivity through the applica- tion of Complete Streets principles. Through this process, the Miami DDA was able to get partner agencies on- board with the mission to repurpose this corridor into a multimodal street that provides mobility choices to all street users. As the first of its kind in Downtown Miami, this pilot project featured a bus -only laneand a dedicat- ed high visibility bicycle lane, marking a shift from the conventional approach of designing our transportation net- work only for automobiles. For the implementation of the proj- ect, the team coordinated approvals and funding of the proposed redesign with the City of Miami and Miami Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works, A public outreach campaign and a media strategy was also coordinated as part of this initia- tive. Work on the street started on June 2017 and project was completed by mid -August 2017.

This area is characterized by commer- cial, industrial, and multifamily resi- dential land uses including multiple mobile home parks. This effort builds upon recently completed and ongoing planning efforts in the area that have already established a vision for years to come. Fabian played the role of project prin- cipal for this project while employed with Kittelson & Associates. The study team worked with stakeholders and agency partners to evaluate multi - modal needs and develop potential roadway modifications to improve safety, operations, and connectivity for all users. Because the role of the front- age roads is to provide access to cor- ridor destinations, travel needs focus on local demand, with the assumption that U.S, 19 will continue to serve re- gional trips. As part of this process the team provided municipalities recom- mendations for land use changes that may facilitate the recommended mul- timodal improvements. Based upon an understanding of the corridor needs, the project team evalu- ated a range of possible improvement scenarios, from location -specific multi- moda l improvements to corridor -wide typical section changes, that serve as prototypes to showcase potential im- provements along the corridor. These improvements include turn lane im- provements, pedestrian and bicycle accommodations, signal retiming, transit stop amenities, etc. Recommendations were developed in an environment that encourages input and collaboration from stakeholders, as well as from various units within FDOT. Outcomes of this study include an implementation plan that outlines long-term strategies that support fu- ture development within the corri- dor, as well as specific improvements that can potentially be advanced in the near -term through local agency participation and/or by FDOT as Re- surfacing, Restoration, Rehabilitation (3R) projects, safety enhancements or push-button projects, such as traf- fic operations signal re -timing proj- ects. This plan identifies the degree of impact associated with each of the proposed short- and long-term multi - modal transportation improvements.

The Proposer certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the Proposer and/or any of its Principals: A. Are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency. B. Have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, state, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, or receiving stolen property; and C. Are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph 1-B of this provision. 2. The Proposer has not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any City, State or Federal agency. A. "Principals," for the purposes of this certification, means officers; directors; owners; partners; and persons having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a subsidiary, division, or business segment, and similar positions). This Certification Concerns a Matter Within the Jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States and the Making of a False, Fictitious, or Fraudulent Certification May Render the Maker Subject to Prosecution Under Section 1001, Title 18, United States Code. B. The Proposer shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Proposer learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. C. A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation, However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Proposer's responsibility. Failure of the Proposer to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Proposer non- responsive. D. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of a Proposer is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. E. The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Proposer knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.
