Recommendation R10.2b

Funding needs to be distributed in a proportional manner which considers the efficacy of the four program components’ contribution towards success. Evaluation funding should be directed toward performance evaluations. The following is a suggested distribution that would achieve what our study found to be an appropriate balance between VZ components. A theoretical $40 million budget ($32.5 million Mayoral funds, $7.5 million traffic grant funds) would have the following rough proportions for each facet: Evaluations 4% ($1.5 million), Education 20% ($8 million), Enforcement 24% ($9.5 million - $2 million Mayoral funds as a “carve out” of LAPD overtime funds, $7.5 million State grants), Engineering 52% ($21 million). This budget should be displayed for the public as part of the annual Vision Zero report.
