Policy and Process Gap Analysis Sample Clauses

Policy and Process Gap Analysis. The goal of this task is to understand what federal, state, regional, and local policies and processes are currently used to make decisions in Fresno, and how those policies and processes could be refined to improve traffic safety and ensure success in Vision Zero implementation. The Toole Design Team will work closely with City of Fresno staff to identify existing local policies pertaining to street design, traffic operations, programming street improvements and funding, as well as traffic-related laws and ordinances and how these are enforced. The City will provide the Toole Design Team with all relevant policies for review, including but not limited to City of Fresno Public Works Standards and locally used Caltrans guidelines. We will compare existing policies and processes to industry best practice to identify those that support or conflict with the Safe System Approach. We will work with staff to identify practices that may or may not be based on official policies and help to determine which of these practices should be endorsed at the policy level or discontinued. During this task we will also ask City staff what barriers the City has faced in implementing safety interventions, so that we can address those issues as part of the Action Plan (Task 5). Together with City staff, the consultant team will review the City of Fresno’s Systemic Local Roadway Safety Plan to understand how much has changed since the plan’s publication in 2020. We will ask City staff to share which elements of the plan are working and should be carried forward into the Action Plan. The consultant team will facilitate up to two (2) meetings with City staff to discuss policy, procedure, and implementation gaps. We will summarize our findings, including proposed changes or additions to policies and procedures in a memorandum.
