(Project No. 24-6904) (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with KTU&A, LLC dba KTUA to
provide traffic engineering and transportation planning services for the Santa Ana Vision
Zero Plan Update in an amount not-to-exceed $180,832, for the term beginning
November 4, 2025 and expiring November 3, 2026, with provisions for one, one-year
extension (Agreement No. A-2025-XXX).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Engineering Services Division (PWA) is responsible for the
administration and oversight of all capital improvement projects in the City including the
planning, design, and management of its active transportation network. The Santa Ana
Vision Zero Action Plan (Plan), adopted by City Council on June 4, 2024, is an initiative
to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries in Santa Ana by 2040. Adoption of the plan
was also a pre-requisite to apply for federal transportation grants, such as the Safe
Streets for All program for Euclid Street improvements. When the Plan was adopted,
City Council identified the need to amend the Plan by evaluating and incorporating
additional corridors such as MacArthur Boulevard and Alton Avenue. Staff has
performed preliminary evaluations and community outreach and recommends
incorporating the following five additional priority corridors/street segments (1-2 miles
long) into the framework:
Flower Street from Warner Avenue to MacArthur Boulevard
Edinger Avenue from Flower Street to Standard Avenue
Segerstrom Avenue from Bear Street to Flower Street
MacArthur Boulevard from Fairview Street to Main Street
Dyer Road from Flower Street to the City Boundary

Two new sample non-priority corridors/street segments (1-2 miles long) will also be
included as part of the scope of work – Alton Avenue from Bristol Street to Bear Street
and Bear Street from Segerstrom Avenue to MacArthur Boulevard. These non-priority
segments will serve as examples for how Vision Zero based improvements may be
incorporated into street improvement projects throughout the City. All seven new
corridor/street segments were selected based on recent collision data, coupled with
bicycle and pedestrian activity and are depicted in Figure 1 below.
This expansion aims to enhance traffic safety measures, reduce traffic-related fatalities
and severe injuries, and promote a more pedestrian and cyclist-friendly urban
environment in more areas of the City of Santa Ana.

Safe Mobility Santa Ana Update (Santa Ana Vision Zero)
The Santa Ana Vision Zero Update (SAVZ) builds on the original SMSA from 2016
to evaluate citywide traffic safety through a comprehensive analysis of traffic
collisions . The analysis phase includes identifying contributing factors or patterns
in the collision data, to locate specific hot spot locations, citywide trends, and best
practices in traffic safety to identify solutions to evolve the roadway network in
Santa Ana into one where roadway users can make transportation decisions and
unanticipated mistakes without risk of severe injury or death . The plan utilized
the FHWA-sanctioned Safe Systems approach to improve the safety across the
network, using low-cost but highly effective countermeasures .
KTUA provided data collection, analysis, GIS map production, and led the safety
evaluation and field reviews for street segments and intersections that present
the highest risk to vulnerable roadways users (bicyclists and pedestrians) . The
prioritization of risk factors established included collision patterns, severity of
injuries, and proximity to school, parks, and other pedestrian/bicycle generating
uses . Based on the data collection, field review and collision analysis; counter-
measures for proposed projects were recommended and CAD drawings were
produced in AutoCAD for 20 corridors, segments, and intersections to mitigate
potential future collisions and facilitate safe and comfortable trips for children’s
travel to and from school .

City of El Monte Vision Zero Action Plan
KTUA worked with City staff and stakeholders to develop
a Vision Zero Action Plan (VZAP) that defines, develops,
and recommends implementation activities supporting a
Vision Zero approach to multimodal transportation systems
planning, policy and programs . This project analyzed colli-
sion data, roadway configuration to mitigate transportation
system fatalities and severe injuries which are preventable
by providing accessibility for all . The planning process
established community goals for the City of El Monte’s
transportation system, including context sensitive design(s)
and traffic speeds appropriate for enhancing safety and
mobility for all system users .
The VZAP accomplishes the following:
• Considers Vision Zero best practices, including policies,
programs, and strategies, that are successful elsewhere
and applicable to the City of El Monte
• Develops a High-Injury Network (HIN) to identify corri-
dors for bicycle and pedestrian improvements
• Coordinates with existing road safety efforts underway
in the City and Vision Zero initiatives elsewhere
• Engages community stakeholders in setting the priori-
ties for investment in Vision Zero strategies
• Identifies partnership opportunities with public, private
and non-profit organizations to advance Vision Zero
strategies in the City
• Refines existing and propose new metrics to track plan
progress towards Vision Zero

The Downtown Complete Streets
study area focused on the connec-
tions between the Regional Transpor-
tation Center (SARTC) and Downtown .
The area included a wide range of
land uses and transportation modes .
The plan provides recommendations
for physical changes to streets, side-
walks and intersections that supports
safe, active transportation along and
across the study area .
A multi-lingual public outreach com-
ponent included surveys, community
advisory meetings, and a neigh-
borhood workshop - a consecutive
three-day workshop with walking
and biking tours to gather input and
intimately experience the Downtown
area . Through the community engage-
ment process, preliminary designs for
five priority projects were developed,
including concepts, 3D illustrations
and costs estimates .
KTUA continued the planning effort for
Central Santa Ana Complete Streets
and created StoryMaps to keep
residents informed and to address
technical topics . The city identified
five existing corridors for the study
with the goal of adding connections
between them and adding new corri-
dors for a complete network .
Grassroots organizations were an
integral component of the community
engagement program from Central
Santa Ana . Activities included tacti-
cal urbanism with a demonstration
cycle track and parklet, walking and
biking tours, and a bus-walk tour
combination, allowing participants to
experience the City streets and transit
firsthand and to provide insight on
improvements that improve safety and
enhance their quality of life .
The eleven recommended corridors
were selected based on public input,
as well as in-depth analysis of land
use and activity centers; existing
and proposed bike and pedestrian
facilities; street classifications; average
daily trips; transit routes; and bike and
pedestrian collisions .
The recommended projects from
the two Complete Streets plans
served as the basis for grant funding
applications. As a result, the city has
obtained more than $20M in grants
to prepare engineering and imple-
mentation plans.
The goal of the Santa Ana Active
Transportation Plan was to create a
walkable, bikeable, livable and vibrant
city . The city has a good framework
to support active transportation,
including a strong grid network; a
mixture of land use; an extensive
sidewalk network and urban forest
that increases comfort and estab-
lishes a sense of place; a com-
munity and business supported
arts program; a demographic that
would benefit from a connected
multi-modal network; high transit
use; and close proximity to the
Santa Ana River . The city faced
challenges to the implementation
of a complete multi-modal network,
including: high speed/high volume/
wide arterials with narrow side-
walks and few pedestrian cross-
ings; transit stops that lack shade
and amenities; inadequate bicycle
facilities; and generational chang-
es between established business
owners and a new era of retailers .
The objectives of the plan were
to: improve multi-modal safety and
accessibility for all users; foster
livable and healthy communities
and promote social equity; provide
balance for a complete multi-mod-
al system; and create grant ready
project fact sheets to enable the
city to obtain design and imple-
mentation funding .

City of Upland Mobility Master Plan
KTUA conducted a policy review and data analysis to
understand existing conditions; spearheaded a compre-
hensive, year-long community engagement process to
understand community needs; and developed project
recommendations to improve safe and efficient active
transportation and public transit options for Upland .
The relative quality and quantity of mobility infrastruc-
ture of the City is well-served by an aging but nominally
sufficient pedestrian network, whereas safety and com-
fort in accessing regional non-vehicular mobility options
such as light rail, bus, and multipurpose paths is deficient .
This is especially true for the disadvantaged communi-
ties within the wealthier 80,000-person City of Upland,
though public outreach efforts were challenged to reach
this population . In-person and online outreach methods
were employed through multiple channels, with metrics
for tracking success in reaching these areas slowly and
surely improving . Walk audits in these neighborhoods
were key outreach endeavors for understanding issues
and distributing more information about surveys and addi-
tional opportunities for input .

LATINO HEALTH ACCESS
Latino Health Access (LHA), was founded in
1993 . Our mission has two priorities: 1) de-
livering culturally appropriate health-related
services and programming to address urgent
health concerns; and 2) engaging individuals
in low-income, low opportunity areas in trans-
forming their environment and creating positive, concrete
changes in their homes and communities by providing
tools, training, and mechanisms for civic participation . We
firmly believe that achieving our vision of a healthy, equi-
table, inclusive and prosperous community requires that
community residents should be involved in every decision
and every step of the process to create change . LHA’s
official motto is “Participation Makes a Difference,” and
we constantly reflect as an organization the importance
of expanding opportunities for residents to participate in
creating solutions and healthier communities .
Our community-centered approach has helped the City of
Santa Ana and the County to actively connect with hard-
to-reach populations to be active participants of equitable
active transportation policy and strategies . The activi-
ties have been multi-generational at various community
settings (e .g . schools, parks and trails, community-based
organizational partners, neighborhoods, bus stops, trails,
among others) . We have previously collaborated with mu-
nicipalities and city staff from Santa Ana, Tustin, Newport,
Costa Mesa, Los Alamitos, and Anaheim .

Project Understanding
KTUA recognizes the City’s commitment to
enhancing safety for residents and visitors by im-
proving transportation facilities for all users. The
goal of the Vision Zero Plan Update is to revise
the recently completed Vision Zero Plan (2024)
by incorporating new policies aimed at increasing
safety across all modes of transportation, as well
as outlining programs and projects for imple-
mentation. This update also includes the addition
of seven new corridors, as directed by the City
Council, along with expanded outreach in each
of the six wards. The following scope of work
details the tasks and deliverables
associated with this project.
TASK 1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1.1 Kickoff meeting

3.2 Workshops
LHA has been ingrained in the community for many years
and has built an extensive network to solicit feedback
and gain trust with Santa Ana residents . LHA will lead
promoting and organizing one (1) community workshop in
each of the six (6) wards to gather input and feedback on
safety concerns, priorities for improvements, and com-
munity-specific needs related to the selected corridors .
A total of six (6) workshops will be conducted as part of
established community meetings, wherever possible . For
the coordination, implementation and promotion of com-
munity workshops, LHA will have constant communication
with representatives of neighborhood associations and
employees of the Santa Ana Neighborhood Initiatives and
Environmental Services and attend its meetings . Time will
be invested in promoting and inviting to community work-
shops during in-person activities such as City and SAUSD
community events, neighborhood association meetings,
LHA and other partners classes and events, etc . The KTUA
team will develop materials such as flyers, announcements,
and social media messages to promote the workshop and
garner online engagement to collect community feedback .
Promotional material distribution will be conducted through
the City’s existing social media accounts and LHA’s exten-
sive network and platforms (Webpage, Facebook, Insta-
gram, Newsletters) to collect community recommendations
and to promote the community workshops, we will post the
workshop flyers and modify the educational videos created
in the last phase of SAVZ and use them again as an educa-
tional tool that will allow us to inform the community about
project and as an invitation to community workshops . We
will also ask our community partners to promote flyers and
videos on their social media platforms .
TASK 3 DELIVERABLES:
• Community Outreach and Engagement Plan
• Outreach materials (flyers, announcements, social media
messaging, etc .)
• Community workshop materials and summaries
Santa Ana community workshop
TASK 4: ANALYSIS:
4.1 crash Analysis
To conduct the collision analysis, KTUA will use guidance
from the following sources:
• Local Roadway Safety Manual (LRSM)
• Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool
• The Caltrans Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program
(SSARP) Guidelines
• The current SAVZ plan (to provide longitudinal consistency)
Analysis will consist of a systematic review and study of the
data collected, particularly the collisions within the past ten
years (numbering more than 20,000 datapoints citywide)
with a special focus on all pedestrian and bicycle-involved
collisions . People walking and biking are more vulnerable
than other road users and therefore giving them increased
attention and countermeasures will more likely reduce
fatality rates . The analysis will review collisions to identify
correctable collision patterns such as, but not limited to:
time of day, day of the week, lighting conditions, age of
parties, year-by-year trends, primary collision factors, type
of collisions, severity of injury, and fatalities .
The first step in the collision analysis involves the selec-
tion of focus collision types . In this case, focus collision
types can be determined by the City based on the known
prevalent collision types or causes . The focus will be on
fatality and high injury collisions rather than Property Dam-
age Only (PDO) crashes . The next step, selecting focus
facilities, involves analyzing the physical characteristics of
intersections and roadways associated with each collision
to determine patterns in collision .
TASK 4 DELIVERABLES:
• Update SAVZ Update plan maps, tables, charts, graphics,
text, etc . based on crash analysis, as needed

TASK 5: LOCATION PRIORITIZATION AND FIELD REVIEW
5.1 Project Selection
Based on a review of the existing Vision Zero Action Plan’s
collision analysis and identified projects, the KTUA team
will work with the City and community to select five (5) new
corridors/street segments that present the highest risk to
vulnerable roadways users (bicyclists and pedestrians) . The
selection process will be consistent with the Vision Zero
Action Plan and select corridors that were not incorporat-
ed into the original process . The selection process may
include collision patterns, severity of injuries, and proximity
to school, parks, or other pedestrian/bicycle generating
uses . Additionally, two (2) other corridors will be identified
based on discussions with City staff for a total of seven (7)
projects . Up to three (3) site visits will be conducted for the
selected corridors while school is in session at high-colli-
sion rate segments or intersections .
5.2 develop corridor designs
KTUA will host a focus call with City staff to discuss a rough
outline of features to implement along the study corridors
based on right-of-way and traffic constraints, traffic opera-
tions, and desired improvements . The focus meeting will
occur prior to the detailed development of the corridor
concepts in AutoCAD . Subsequently, the KTUA team will
develop corridor concept plans at the seven (7) identified
corridors/street segments for 1-mile in length each . A total
of seven (7) corridors will be designed for feasibility and
grant pursuits . Each corridor segment will be developed
at a scale of 1” = 50’ and shown on an aerial graphic using
AutoCAD base drawings consistent with the Vision Zero
Action Plan . Refer to the representative rendered concept
plans previously prepared for the City .
5.3 corridor renderings
To support these concepts, one (1) 3D cross-section will be
developed for each corridor to illustrate the improvements
which will also be used as part of the community engage-
ment process . A total of seven (7) cross-section renderings
will be developed .

TASK 6: ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT PLAN
6.1 Santa Ana vision Zero Plan Assessment and Plan Updates
KTUA will conduct a comprehensive review of the exist-
ing Santa Ana Vision Zero Plan including but not limited
to the goals, strategies, and current corridor selection .
Through this process and in combination with community
feedback, KTUA will also identify strengths, weaknesses,
and opportunities for improvement and updates to maps,
tables, exhibits, appendices, and all other items related to
the addition of the seven (7) new corridor/street segments .
Updates can also include new language, plans/recommen-
dations, and any other relevant information as deemed
necessary that will support and provide an explanation
how non-priority corridors/street segments can be system-
atically improved . Updates will be made at the discretion of
KTUA and in coordination with City Staff .

TASK 7: DEVELOP SAFETY STRATEGIES
7.1 develop Safety Strategies
Based on the collisions identified, roadway design, road-
way conditions, and other trends identified from the
crash analysis, KTUA, with support from Mark Thomas
will develop tailored safety strategies and interventions
(countermeasures) for each of the five selected corridors .
Santa Ana Vision Zero exhibits and drawings/plans will
incorporate the new corridors/street segments and align
with current best practices in traffic safety . The team will
review published research and the latest trends to identify
potential countermeasures with the greatest potential to
address collision types . The Highway Safety Manual (HSM)
and Crash Modification Factors (CMF) Clearinghouse will
be utilized heavily for this task . CMF factors will be used
to estimate the expected number of collisions after imple-
menting a given countermeasure at a specific intersection
or MPAH corridor (the lower the CMF, the greater the
expected reduction in collisions) .
KTUA will use an innovative approach such as complete
streets design, traffic calming measures, improved signage,
enhanced crosswalks, and protected bike lanes . Strategies
may include but are not limited to:
• Implementation of traffic calming measures (speed
humps/cushions, new or mod . traffic signals, etc .)
• Enhanced crosswalks and pedestrian signals
• Dedicated bike lanes or shared-use paths
• Improved street lighting and signage
• Implementation of landscaped concrete mediums
TASK 7 DELIVERABLES:
• List/table outlining safety strategies and interventions
(countermeasures)

plan outlining the timeline, responsibilities, and budget for
each safety strategies and interventions (countermeasure) .
Coordination will be conducted with relevant City depart-
ments and agencies to ensure alignment with broader
transportation and urban planning initiatives .
TASK 8 DELIVERABLES:
• Implementation plan of safety strategies and interven-
tions (countermeasures) of the seven (7) new corridor/
street segments
TASK 9: DEVELOP COST ESTIMATES
9.1 cost estimates
Based on the corridor Conceptual Engineering Plans devel-
oped, quantities will be generated, and unit pricing applied
