Ms. Brazil turned the presentation over to Mr. Armoruso to provide Lessons Learned:
Lessons Learned
• Longer pilot needed to allow for ridership to mature.
• Fleet size appears to have been accurate for this pilot,
however,Increase the number of wheelchair accessible
vehicles(WAVs)-medical facilities are a popular destination.
• Microtransit fares- match fare structure to existing HRT bus
fares
• Zone demand-In zone destinations less than out of zone
destinations
• Consider modifying zone- Higher passenger productivity
occurs if you match passenger destinations to travel
generators
• "Turnkey"service delivery method may not be the most cost-
effective

Here are Recent Challenges to Enforcement:
Recent Challenges to Enforcement
• Enforcement against pedestrians is difficult:
No law-enforcement officer shall stop a pedestrian for a violation
of this section.
Virginia State Code§46.2-923;How and where pedestrians to cross highways
•Vacancies and other draws on limited police
resources
• Lack of support in legal challenges
Here are Traffic Signals—Pros and Cons:
Traffic Signals — Pros and Cons
•Great tool to manage traffic flows— Terrible tool for
reducing speed
• Increased rear-end accidents
• Yellow light "gunning-it"
•Aggressive/Impatient Driving
July 11, 2023

CITY COUNCIL'S BRIEFINGS
ROADWAY SAFETY UPDATE
ITEM#74408
(Continued)
Traffic Signals — By the numbers
Red light runners cause hundreds of deaths and tens
of thousands of injuries each year
• Nationwide in 2021, 1,109 people were killed in crashes that
involved red light running. Half of those killed were pedestrians,
bicyclists and people in other vehicles who were hit by the red-
light runners
• Nationwide in 2021, an estimated 127,000 people were injured
in red light running crashes
Lowering the Speed Limit to Control Speed
•Conventional thinking does not prevail — lowering
the speed limit does not slow down the vast number
of drivers
• It does create a "speed differential" that is more
dangerous
"Federal and state studies have consistently shown that the drivers
most likely to get into accidents in traffic are those traveling
significantly below the average speed"
"Unrealistic speed limits create two groups of drivers. Those that try
to obey the limit and those that drive at a speed they feel is safe and
reasonable. This causes dangerous differences in speed"

Here are possible improvements to reduce speeding:
What may work better
• Education
• Comprehensive Safety Action Plan
•Traffic Safety Improvements
• Crosswalks
• Improved visibility
• Speed Cameras
• Neighborhood Traffic Calming
ve
Here is the purpose of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan:
Comprehensive Safety Action Plan
• Staff are engaged in developing the plan—required for certain State
and Federal Grant opportunities
• Analysis of existing conditions and historical trends of crashes
involving fatalities and serious injuries across the locality
• Analysis of the location where there are crashes,the severity,as
well as contributing factors and crash types
• Analysis of systemic and specific safety needs is also performed,
as needed
• Will need to be adopted by City Council& updated every five years

The Traffic Safety Improvements IV(TSI) CIP has approximately$18.3-Million in programmed costs for
FY224-29.•
Traffic Safety Improvements IV (TSI) - CIP
•Approx $18.3M in programmed costs for the FY24-29
CIP
• Used to make smaller scale safety improvements like
crosswalks and ped signals and to match funds for
larger grant-funded safety projects
•With increases in demand for these projects and
escalation, there will likely be requests for additional
funding
Speed Cameras
•Cameras are currently used in Virginia Beach to
enforce certain Traffic Signals/Right Turns and on
School Buses
•A state or local law-enforcement agency may place and operate a
photo speed monitoring device in school crossing zones for the
purposes of recording violations of§46.2-873 and in highway
work zones for the purposes of recording violations of§g46.2-
878.1
•The code section is lengthy and still requires an
officer to review

For Consideration...
• Would City Council support staff exploring the use of
Speed Photo Enforcement in the areas where it is
currently permissible (school crossing zones and work
zones)?
•To do additional areas would require a change to State
Code—opportunities might exist here if the code was

• City staff will be back to discuss the Comprehensive

The City Auditor's Office found the Office of Voter Registration and Elections has inadequate space
during their review in March:
Review by City Auditor's Office
March 8,2023:the City of Virginia Beach Internal Auditor's Office released the findings
and recommendations from its Review of Changes to Virginia Beach District Voting:
"The office size of the Office of Voter Registration and Elections is inadequate for
efficient operations. The Voter Registration and Elections Office has experienced
difficulties that could have been avoided if it had one large office.Currently,its staff
is dispersed,working in four different buildings.Training for election officials needed
to be conducted offsite at the Convention Center over multiple days, adding more
work and logistical inefficiencies. The inadequate office size was clearly manifested
when significant delays were encountered during the submission of ballots. All the
election officials reported to a conference space in Building 19 to turn in their
materials, which was overwhelming for this location. Election officials had to wait
longer to ensure that the ballots from their respective polling location were properly
accounted for because the space limited how many Office of Voter Registration and
Elections staff were positioned to help with the turn-in process"
