Enforcement
Purpose: Increase individual awareness of their responsibility to the safety of others and themselves. Cite and administer
warnings, using a data-driven approach and focusing on violations of the California Vehicle Code and the San Francisco
Transportation Code that are identified as causative and associated factors in severe and fatal collisions. This data-driven
strategy will be supported by employing best practices and with the use of new technologies by continued coordination
between the District Attorney’s Office and the SFPD to investigate and prosecute incidents where there is sufficient
evidence to do so.
Outcomes:
• Comprehensive package of targeted enforcement efforts
• Improved method to identify priority enforcement locations
• Increased enforcement of most common offenses that result in severe and fatal collisions
• Increased transparency of enforcement efforts
