SUMMARY PROJECT INFORMATION

3.1 Summary of Project’s Statement of Work.

Detroit Safe Access to Transit (DSAT) includes implementation, supplemental planning, and demonstration activities to address severe crashes that impact transit riders in Detroit. DSAT is a tailored, pinpointed safety program that advances Detroit’s Safe Streets for Detroit (SS4D) program and DDOT Reimagined to accelerate the City’s current efforts to reduce and eliminate severe crashes by 2050 and provide the high-quality transit service the Detroiters want and deserve. The project will utilize extensive coordination between the City of Detroit’s Department of Public Work (DPW), the Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT), the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), and Wayne County to realize the region’s safety goals.

The project will make first- and last-mile connections to transit safer and more accessible by implementing proven safety countermeasures at bus stops, providing safe driver training to bus operators, and updating Detroit’s Comprehensive Safety Action Plan and non-motorized plan. Over 50 intersections have been identified for improvement with more than five fatal or serious injury crashes and/or five crashes involving people walking or bicycling over the past five years. DSAT will include funding to equitably engage Detroiters and transit riders to ensure the proposed improvements meet residents’ expectations and support neighborhood goals. The project will also include robust evaluation of proposed activities to ensure they are effective toward addressing Detroit’s traffic safety issues.

The project will be completed in three phases as follows:

Base Phase: Preliminary Engineering: Base Phase will include Preliminary Engineering, NEPA documentation, and initial community engagement. Preliminary Engineering tasks will include conducting additional planning activities to assess existing conditions, crash analysis, NEPA documentation, and engineering design (30% and 60% design milestones).

Base Phase will also include a training for DDOT bus drivers and updates to the City’s non-motorized transportation plan and Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP). Base Phase will also include an evaluation component that will extend through the Option Phase 1 and Option Phase 2 timeline to determine the effectiveness of the safety countermeasures deployed. Community engagement activities will be included throughout Base Phase, Option Phase 1, and Option Phase 2.

Option Phase 1: Final Design: Final Design will include developing 90%, and the final contract documents for the design elements identified in the Preliminary Engineering activities. Design elements and safety countermeasures may include, but will not be limited to, targeted curb bump-outs, sidewalk improvements, transit islands, signal improvements, lighting upgrades, pavement markings, sidewalk widening, ADA improvements, and centerline hardening.

Option Phase 2: Construction: The Construction phase will include implementing the design solutions identified in Base Phase and Option Phase 1. Types of construction activities will include Safer Bus Stops (24 planned locations) and Safer Transfers (32 planned locations).

Option Phase 2 will include Capital Maintenance activities to monitor and replace or repair interventions deployed during the project period of performance. Construction Engineering & Inspection activities will also be included in Option Phase 2.

2. Supporting Narrative.

• A racial equity impact analysis has been completed for the Project.

o Equitable access to the city’s transportation is one of the primary values of the Strategic Framework for Transportation and the Streets for People (SFP) transportation master plan. Building an understanding of where the city’s most vulnerable populations live is critical to developing strategies that address equity in a targeted manner. Basic demographic data was gathered to create an overall profile of the city, and specific equity measures were determined that would reflect populations that are most susceptible to being underserved by the existing transportation system. As documented in the SFP plan, and supporting whitepapers, the majority of Detroit’s population (82.2%) is Black, while white (7.8%) and Hispanic (6.8%) residents are the other prominent racial groups in the city. Given that minorities make up over 90% of the population, race was not included in the equity analysis to allow for a more targeted focus on other groups. However, the detailed equity analysis further evaluated the following additional factors through an intersectional lens with racial equity as the overarching umbrella: Seniors (65 and over), Youth (under 18), Disabled, Low-income, Zero-Car Households, and Population (density).

o The SFP plan also engaged thousands of Detroiters, who voiced strong support for reducing driving speed through street design and safety improvements. 84% of respondents were concerned about speeding and dangerous driving and 79% were supportive of street safety improvements that will reduce speed and increase safety. The production of the CSAP and the SS4D Program grant is the City’s direct response to Detroiters’ strong and unequivocal message for safer streets. SS4D will continue to include the community to get the most out of safety investments and mitigate the potential unintended consequences to underserved and marginalized people.

• The Recipient or a project partner has adopted an equity and inclusion program/plan or has otherwise instituted equity-focused policies related to project procurement, material sourcing, construction, inspection, hiring, or other activities designed to ensure racial equity in the overall delivery and implementation of the Project.

o The SFP plan identified Equity, Dignity, & Transparency as one of the core values toward improving access and mobility for Detroiters. Several of the recommendations and strategies in the plan outline actions the City will take to addressing racial disparities and inequity. The Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) also established project prioritization criteria to assess and select all safety projects. Candidate projects will be scored for Safety Impact; Equity; and Sustainability, Climate Change, & Economic Competitiveness. A project can earn up to 15 points (out of 50) for Equity if it is an Equity Area (as defined in the SFP plan) and has prior community support. Almost all of the proposed HIN corridors for the SS4D project would receive the full 15 points for Equity.

o The procurement process will include DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) requirements as is standard with all City of Detroit contracts. The city has also adopted executive orders to provide additional points in the evaluation process that hire over 50% Detroiters and/or are Detroit based businesses. The City also has a Civil Rights, Equity and Inclusion Office, which will support the procurement process by ensuring that high-quality and good-paying job creation meets all free and fair choice union standards and will ensure that all state and federal prevailing wage standards are met.

• The Project includes new or improved walking, biking, and rolling access for individuals with disabilities, especially access that reverses the disproportional impacts of crashes on people of color and mitigates neighborhood bifurcation.

o The project aligns with the Streets for People Plan, which includes ACCESS FOR ALL, meaning the commitment to ensure easy mobility throughout the city, no matter age or ability. The SS4D also supports transit ridership and multi-modal shifts by closing gaps in the sidewalk network and improving ADA compliant connections to DDOT stops on HIN and commercial corridors.

• The Recipient has taken other actions related to the Project to improve racial equity and reduce barriers to opportunity, as described in the supporting narrative below.

o Throughout the SS4D implementation program, the City will follow Detroit’s Community Outreach Ordinance and the policies in SFP, tailoring engagement to project scope. As the size of the project rises, so will the public’s impact on design. Basic investments necessary to keep up state of good repair and improve safety will be driven by data, with information distributed to the public prior to construction. More transformative projects will involve closer community consultation, with impacts on final design.

o The project supports the 2022 Detroit Climate Action Strategy, which establishes a holistic approach to addressing racial equity, climate change, and to fulfill the requirements of the city’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory ordinance to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from city operations by 35% by the year 2024 and 100% by the year 2050.

• The Project directly supports a Local/Regional/State Equitable Development Plan that results in lower greenhouse gas emissions. (Identify the plan in the supporting narrative below.)

o The project supports the Streets for People Plan, which is rooted in (1) EQUITY, DIGNITY, AND TRANSPARENCY, including: Transparent planning and rigorous community engagement. (2) ACCESS FOR ALL, including easy mobility throughout the city, no matter age or ability. (3) ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY: Access to jobs, empowerment, and neighborhood support.

• The Project supports a modal shift in freight or passenger movement to reduce emissions or reduce induced travel demand. The Project repairs existing dilapidated or idle infrastructure that is currently causing environmental harm.

o The program will also support transit ridership and multi-modal shifts by closing gaps in the sidewalk network and improving ADA-compliant connections to DDOT stops on HIN and commercial corridors where DDOT and community members identify opportunities. By doing this, we are making repairs to existing dilapidated or idle infrastructure that is currently causing environmental harm.

• The Recipient has taken other actions to consider climate change and environmental justice impacts of the Project, as described in the supporting narrative below.

o The CSAP also established project prioritization criteria to assess and select all safety projects. Candidate projects will be scored for Safety Impact; Equity;

and Sustainability, Climate Change, & Economic Competitiveness. A project can earn up to 10 points (out of 50) for Sustainability, Climate Change, & Economic Competitiveness if improvements support transit or transit access through safer crossings, enhanced transit amenities, or enhanced transit operations and if improvements increase tree canopy and/or decrease impermeable surfaces. Many of the proposed improvements for the SS4D project will score highly in this category and advance citywide goals to address climate change and environmental injustice.

o During the development of the CSAP, the project considered the equity impacts, including systemic racism through environmental injustices. As we continue community engagement, we will work to facilitate conversations about the environmental impact of the project.to understand the concerns residents may have.
