We are building an app for APD officers to record Vision Zero in Action citations. By digitizing what is now a paper-based process, we can streamline workflows and collect data to inform VZA program management..
How might we measure the ROI of Vision Zero in Action's expenditures on APD VZA citation staffing?
Challenge
Vision Zero in Action is a coordinated Vision Zero education and enforcement effort by Austin Transportation Department and Austin Police Department. Long term, data on APD's VZA citations would help the program improve enforcement scheduling and identify areas for targeted educational outreach. However the immediate need is being able to report on the efficacy of money spent on enforcement and maximize value.
Request
A web app that APD can use to log Vision Zero in Action citation activities. Features would include
Primary
Ability for APD officers to log time, location, and activity type of VZA citations
Ability for ATD to see what shifts have been staffed and what citations were made during those shifts
Secondary
Ability for ATD staff to query the information and identify geographic and temporal hotspots for different types of activities during certain time periods
Target users
APD
Scheduler
Officers on shift
ATD
Vision Zero staff
Stakeholders
Jen Duthie, Division Manager, Arterial Management Division
Lewis Leff, Transportation Safety Officer, Vision Zero
