Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The County has had repeated incidents of vehicles colliding with pedestrians or bicyclists that result in injury or death. Between calendar year 2021 and 2023, there were 82 fatal crashes and 2,692 injury crashes on Yolo County roads. Notably, 25% of fatal collisions and 11% of injury crashes involved pedestrians and bicyclists. This data highlights the serious consequences of collisions, underscoring that when they occur, individuals are likely to be injured or killed.
A significant number of these incidents occur within the city limits of Woodland, West Sacramento, and Davis, where residents frequently walk and bike for transportation and recreation. However, the safety of those living in rural areas such as Knights Landing, Winters, and Esparto remains a significant issue.
Staff hereby recommends approval of the Grant Agreement with the Office of Traffic Safety to fund the County’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program (Att. A), which will target families in Woodland, West Sacramento, Winters and Knights Landing via education at partner agencies, at community events, and through public awareness campaigns. The program will emphasize working with Spanish-speaking families and low-income families by collaborating with partners who serve these populations. Furthermore, county-wide media campaigns to promote safety behaviors among road users will be implemented to reach populations living within incorporated communities and those living in the unincorporated areas of the County.
