Finding F10.4

The VZ program’s education component has been shown by VZ programs in other cities to have the biggest impact on reducing KSI collisions relative to the amount of funding used. Los Angeles’s VZ “education” component consists of some LADOT efforts to inform those immediately affected by the construction of an improvement project of the intended effects and expected benefits. Traffic enforcement officers inform individual drivers during violation stops and speak to community groups through a limited number of outreach efforts. Los Angeles’s VZ failure to promote broad public education campaigns is due to a lack of emphasis on the importance of creating and implementing such campaigns.
