13 ORANGE COUNTY ORANGE UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION BOARD ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: August 21, 2019 Action Agenda Item No. 5.a. SUBJECT: Bicycle Safety Implementation Subcommittee (BSIS) Recommendation on Future Handling of Bicycle Safety Implementation DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections ATTACHMENTS: INFORMATION CONTACT: 1. None. Nish Trivedi, Transportation Planner, 919-245-2582 Tom Altieri, Comprehensive Planning Supervisor, 919-245-2579 Craig Benedict, Planning Director, 919-245-2585 PURPOSE: Receive a recommendation from the BSIS that it pursue its future bicycle safety implementation as part of regular OUTBoard meetings and agendas. BACKGROUND: At its April Meeting, the OUTBoard requested: 1. The BSIS evaluate its anticipated future work and determine if there is immediate need to continue meeting separate from the OUTBoard as a sub-committee, or continue as part of regular OUTBoard meetings; and 2. That staff place Bicycle Safety Implementation on a subsequent OUTBoard agenda to receive and consider a recommendation from the BSIS and if applicable, discuss the documentation of goals, deliverables, and associated timeline. Subsequently, the BSIS met on May 24 and unanimously recommended to the OUTBoard that the subcommittee format be dissolved and that future bicycle safety implementation be included and discussed at regular OUTBoard meetings. In reaching this recommendation, the BSIS evaluated its work and determined that there was no immediate need to continue meeting separate from the OUTBoard as a subcommittee. Subcommittees as a matter of Orange County Advisory Board Policy established by the BOCC are to have documented goals, deliverables, and a timeline and cease to meet when these are satisfied. Also consistent with Policy, the need to reinstate a subcommittee or create others can be considered by the OUTBoard at any time. The BSIS has done an excellent job in accomplishing several of the activities identified in the Bicycle Safety Task Force (BSTF) Report such as: • Campaign logo and marketing survey; • Creation of a campaign website with safety information; • Creation of four campaign video PSAs in partnership with Cedar Ridge Videography Club; • Creation of four campaign bike safety posters, and a Rules of the Road brochure;
