ITEM NO: 16
File No. 20-0875
TRANSPORTATION and PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEES REPORT relative to the
Traffic Enforcement Alternatives Project.
Recommendations for Council action:
1. INSTRUCT the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT), with the
assistance of the Department of Public Works, Bureau of Engineering (BOE), the
Department of Public Works, Bureau of Street Services (BSS), the Department of
City Planning (DCP), City Attorney and in consultation with racial justice and
equity advocates, to report in 90 days on how to develop and implement self-
enforcing infrastructure as part of The Healthy Streets LA ballot measure (HLA)
implementation plan (Council file Nos. 24-0131 and 24-0173) and future Mobility
Plan, Community Plan, and other specific plan and overlay zone updates with said
report to include a plan to evaluate self-enforcing infrastructure projects to quantify
the impacts to public safety after a project has been implemented, as well
as development of a multi-departmental disciplinary team that includes racial
justice and equity advocates, safe streets advocates, the Los Angeles Police
Department (LAPD), and the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), to develop
standards and review self-enforcing infrastructure projects.
2. INSTRUCT the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) and the City Administrative Officer
(CAO), in consultation with the LADOT, the BOE, the City Attorney, the LAPD,
other relevant departments, community experts, and other members of the Traffic
Enforcement Alternatives Advisory Task Force, to report in 90 days an evaluation
criteria matrix that analyzes the impact of non-moving and equipment violations,
and moving violations on traffic safety, and identify what violations that do not pose
a demonstrative public safety threat or concern.
3. REQUEST the LAPD Inspector General to report in 90 days on:
a. An evaluation of the 2022 pretextual stop policy, including all available data
on all traffic stops conducted since the 2022 policy change. This report
should also include an analysis of pending state legislation that would have
the potential to ban or curtail pretextual stops, as well as information on
other jurisdictions that have banned or significantly reduced
pretextual stops.
b. All oversight protocols law enforcement officers are required to follow at all
stages before, during, or after a traffic stop. The report should include a list
of all traffic safety reasons why law enforcement would currently pull
someone over, as well as the prioritization for handling traffic safety issues
.
4. INSTRUCT the LADOT, Community Investment for Families Department (CIFD),
and the CAO to report in 90 days on Council file No. 23-1189 (Soto-Martinez –
Harris-Dawson – Hutt – Lee) as part of the Traffic Enforcement Alternatives Project
(Council file No. 20-0875), which requires report consistent with the Traffic
Enforcement Alternatives Advisory Task Force recommendations and discussions
with respect to Fines and Fees, Adjustments, Alternative Methods, and the
potential for a Fines and Fees Task Force. This report should, in addition to
addressing budgetary impacts, include who sets the fee or fine, if the local
government has the ability to create an alternative or adjustment, and whether a
low income or unhoused program can be created or expanded. The report should
also include an analysis of the traffic citation processing contracts as well.
5. INSTRUCT the CLA, in collaboration with the CAO, the LADOT, the City Attorney,
the LAPD, any other relevant departments, community experts, and other
members of the Traffic Enforcement Alternatives Advisory Task Force, to report
with an assessment of the fines and fees models for vehicle citations, in connection
to Council file No. 23-1189, and all types micro-mobility vehicles and devices in
the City of Los Angeles and determine an equitable, means-based model to issue
fines and fees. The report should also investigate the following:
a. Other comparable municipalities that have implemented alternative models
for fines and fees.
b. Provide recommendations on a framework to create a revolving door fund
that earmarks a proportion of the fines and fees revenue for a vehicle repair
voucher, clinic program, and Traffic school voucher program.
c. Curate a criterion of motorists that could qualify.
6. INSTRUCT the CLA and the CAO, with assistance from the LADOT, City Attorney,
the LAPD, and other relevant departments to report in 90 days with an analysis of
other comparable jurisdictional programs and municipalities that have initiated pilot
programs, frameworks, and alternative programs to traffic enforcement models
that utilize care-centered teams and unarmed civilians for traffic safety issues such
as, but not limited to Berkeley, CA; Oakland, CA; Pittsburgh, PA and Philadelphia,
PA. The report should focus on the steps necessary to allow unarmed civilians
and care-based teams to undertake traffic enforcement and traffic safety,
published evaluations of the impact of these programs, cost, size and safety
considerations.
7. INSTRUCT the LADOT to report with an analysis of other jurisdictions, including
but not limited to Indianapolis, IN, that have cross-disciplinary crash review teams
who investigate all serious crashes in order to recommend infrastructural
interventions that would prevent future crashes.
8. INSTRUCT the CLA, in collaboration with the Personnel Department, CAO, and
City Attorney, and with assistance from the LADOT, to report in 90 days on
required measures to implement an unarmed civilian and care-based teams
focused exclusively on road safety and responding to traffic-related calls, including
crash investigations. The report should include the following information:
a. Define the feasible roles and responsibilities of these unarmed civilian and
care-based teams, specifying their contributions to enforcing traffic safety
and responding to traffic-related calls.
b. Clarify the parameters and limitations with establishing these teams in
alignment to State law.
c. Identify any existing classification (e.g. the Crisis Response workforce)
eligible for reclassification within the City to form the unarmed civilian and
care-based teams, along with a suitable department that could house these
personnel, such as the Office of Unarmed Response or LADOT.
d. Conduct an analysis of necessary steps to developing a new classification
for unarmed civilian and care-based teams and the additional components,
such as training, certifications, and other resources that would be required
for these personnel.
e. Administer a cost-benefit analysis between using existing structures and
classifications or creating new classifications for the unarmed civilian and
care-based teams.
f. An estimation of the size of the workforce needed for citywide
implementation based on the information garnered from the findings.
g. Convene with relevant labor unions on the feasibility of both the creation of
a new classification and use of existing classifications.
9. INSTRUCT the CLA, in collaboration with the LAPD, City Attorney, and any other
relevant department, to report in 90 days on the existing moving and non-moving
equipment and administrative violations applicable to all types of micro-mobility
modes of transportation (e.g., scooters, bicycles, etc.) and direct impact on
mitigating traffic safety concerns. This analysis should include how each micro-
mobility mode of transportation is classified and cited, and any
potential recommendations to reform the interaction and citation processes for
micro-mobility modes of transportation.
10. INSTRUCT the CLA, with assistance from the LAPD, CAO, City Controller, and
any other relevant agencies, to report in 90 days with an analysis of pretextual
stops and citations disaggregated by the following criteria:
a. Types of vehicles (make, model, and year)
b. Corrective action pursued, such as if the driver received a citation, warning,
or any other action
c. Council District
d. Census Tracts
11. INSTRUCT the LADOT, with assistance from the Department of Public Works, the
LAPD, and any other relevant agencies, to report with a definition of a “Self-
enforcing Infrastructure” score or filter for public right-of-way design
elements. The report should also define what data would be used to prioritize the
implementation of design elements which would include a “Self-enforcing
Infrastructure” lens (or a higher-scoring “Self-enforcing Infrastructure” lens) over
design elements that would not include a “Self-enforcing Infrastructure” lens or
would have a lower-scoring lens.
12. INSTRUCT the LADOT, the LAPD, and any other relevant agencies to collaborate
with the University of California Davis, Institute of Transportation Studies’ analysis
of police stop data, roadway infrastructure and vehicle crashes, and to identify any
additional research questions needed, if any, to evaluate the relationship between
distinct moving violations, the locations they have occurred, the underlying
roadway conditions, and crash patterns adjacent to nearby said locations as a City
of Los Angeles-led effort. Whereas the “Alternative to Traffic Enforcement and
Community Task Force Recommendations” report identified the relationship
between traffic stops and the High Injury Network in the aggregate, this, deeper
review, would build upon that work and look at distinct locations and corridor
segments.
13. REQUEST the City Attorney, in coordination with their Risk Management Division
and LAPD General Counsel, to report on the state laws that govern traffic
enforcement, including who may enforce and what types of enforcement they may
conduct, as well as the liability and risk exposure that could result from unarmed
or civilian enforcement.
Fiscal Impact Statement: The LADOT reports that there is no fiscal impact.
Community Impact Statement: Yes

Summary:
On December 6, 2023, the Transportation Committee considered a November 30, 2023
LADOT report relative to the Traffic Enforcement Alternatives Project. According to the
LADOT, in February 2021, Council directed the LADOT, with assistance of the CAO, CLA,
LAPD, and the City Attorney to develop and issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking
a consultant to conduct a study on the feasibility of utilizing civilian enforcement of traffic
laws for motorists, cyclists, and other forms of transportation occurring within the City.
They specified that the RFP considers existing state and local laws, existing best
practices, and the size and diversity of the City.
In addition to the RFP, Council directed the LADOT to convene an Advisory Task Force
to make recommendations to the City for traffic safety alternatives and convene
community meetings to solicit feedback in regards to community needs. The LADOT
received funding in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget to issue the RFP and manage a
consultant contract.
In partnership with the LAPD, CAO, CLA, and the City Attorney, the LADOT released a
TOS in August 2021, selected a consultant team led by Estolano Advisors in February
2022, and began soliciting for advisory task force participation. The project kicked off in
March 2022 and the advisory task force began meeting in June of that year. From June
2022 until September 2023, the Consultant team facilitated a series of Task Force
meetings with the support of a City working group that included LADOT, CAO, CLA,
LAPD, and the City Attorney. While the Consultant team led the qualitative and
quantitative analysis, the Advisory Task Force informed and ultimately approved the final
recommendations included in the report. The task force finalized their recommendations
in September 2023, and Estolano Advisors submitted the final deliverables (i.e. report) to
the City in November 2023. After consideration and having provided an opportunity for
public comment, the Committee moved to continue the matter.
Subsequently, on February 21, 2024, the Transportation Committee once again
considered this matter and a further continued this matter. On April 3, 2024, the
Transportation further considered this matter and after further consideration and having
provided an opportunity for public comment, moved to make a series of recommendations
that are detailed above.
On June 11, 2024, the Public Safety Committee considered this item and after
consideration and having provided an opportunity for public comment, moved to concur
with the Transportation Committee. This matter is now submitted to Council for its
consideration.

Requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the Americans
with Disabilities Act can be made by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (213) 9781133. For Telecommunication Relay
Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information below.
Telecommunication Relay Services
Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to advancements in
technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing,
and individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating to more advanced
telecommunications methods, both for peertopeer and thirdparty telecommunications relay service (TRS)
communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech
disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and
the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers generally telephone companies are compensated
for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no cost to the TRS user.
What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and the
equipment available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIYBased TRS; SpeechtoSpeech Relay Service; Shared NonEnglish
Language Relay Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video Relay Service.
Please visit this site for detail descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunicationsrelayservicetrs.
Don't hang up! Some people hang up on TRS calls because they think the CA is a telemarketer. If you hear, "Hello. This is
the relay service .. . " when you pick up the phone, please don't hang up! You are about to talk, through a TRS provider, to a
person who is deaf, hardofhearing, or has a speech disability.
For more information about FCC programs to promote access to telecommunications services for people with disabilities,
visit the FCC's Disability Rights Office website.

Ten (10) members of the Council constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Council may consider an item not
listed on the agenda only if it is determined by a twothirds (10) vote that the need for action arose after the posting of an
Agenda. Some items on the agenda may be approved without any discussion, however, any item may be called "special"
by a Councilmember. If an item is called "special" it will be "held" until the remainder of the items on the Council agenda
have been acted on by the Council. An item may also be called "special" if a member of the public has requested to speak
on the item and a public hearing was not previously held.
The City Clerk will announce the items to be considered by the Council, however items will be grouped. For example, all
items for which required public hearings have not previously been held are listed in one section on the printed agenda. The
Council President will ask if any Councilmember or member or the public wishes to speak on one or more of these items. If
anyone wishes to speak on an item, it will be called "special". The remaining items in this section will be voted on by
Council with one roll call vote.
PUBLIC INPUT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS An opportunity for the public to address the Council on agenda items for
which public hearings have not been held will be provided at the time the item is considered or during the Multiple Agenda
Item Comment period. Members of the public who wish to speak on items shall be allowed to speak for up to one minute
per item up to a total of three minutes per meeting. The Council has determined that a cumulative total of 20 minutes is a
reasonable minimum amount of time for the Multiple Agenda Item segment of each regular meeting.
The Council will also provide an opportunity for the public to speak on public interest items. Each speaker shall be limited to
one minute of general public comment each regular meeting for a cumulative total of ten (10) minutes. The Council shall not
discuss or take action relative to any general public comment.
If you wish to provide documents to the full Council for consideration on an item, please present the SergeantAtArms with
35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record.

1960 or ethics.commission@lacity.org.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND TIME LIMITS Councilmembers requesting to address the Council will be recognized by the
Council President in the order requested. For any item, the Chairperson of the Committee, or the maker of the original
motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other
Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a question
have had an opportunity to be heard once, the time for each Member desiring to speak again shall be limited to a maximum
of three (3) minutes.
A motion calling the "previous question" may be introduced by any member during a Council debate. If adopted, this motion
will terminate debate on a matter and the Chair will instruct the Clerk to call the roll on the matter.
VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS Most items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Council (8
members). Items which have not been discussed in a Council Committee and have been placed directly on the agenda will
require 10 votes to consider. Once considered, these items will normally require eight (8) affirmative votes to be adopted.
Ordinances require a unanimous vote (at least 12 members must be present) in order to be adopted on first consideration. If
an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week. The votes required for
Wednesday - June 12, 2024 - PAGE 3

an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week. The votes required for
approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical ordinance requires eight (8)
affirmative votes upon second consideration.
When debate on an item is completed, the Chair will instruct the Clerk to "call the roll". Every member present must vote for
or against each item; abstentions are not permitted. The Clerk will announce the votes on each item. Any member of
Council may move to "reconsider" any vote on any item on the agenda, except to adjourn, suspend the Rules, or where an
intervening event has deprived the Council of jurisdiction, providing that said member originally voted on the prevailing side of
the item. The motion to "reconsider" shall only be in order once during the meeting, and once during the next regular
meeting. The member requesting reconsideration shall identify for all members present the agenda number, Council file
number and subject matter previously voted upon. A motion to reconsider is not debatable and shall require an affirmative
vote of eight (8) members of the Council.
When the Council has failed by sufficient votes to approve or reject an item, and has not lost jurisdiction over the matter, or
has not caused it to be continued beyond the next regular meeting, the item is continued to the next regular meeting for the
purpose of allowing the Council to again vote on the matter.
The City Council rules provide that all items adopted by the Council will not be presented to the Mayor, or other designated
officer by the City Clerk until the adjournment of the regular Council meeting following the date of the Council action. A
motion to send an item "forthwith" if adopted by ten (10) votes, suspends these rules and requires the City Clerk to forward
the matter to the Mayor, or other officer, without delay.
RULE 16 MOTIONS Council Rule No. 16, in part, allows a member to send an item directly to the Council without it having
to go to a Council Committee first, by giving the City Clerk a motion (seconded by an additional member) during a Council
session to be placed on the next regular available Council agenda.
