Goals:
1. Remove dangerous drivers from our streets
2. Promote safe, certified micromobility while curbing dangeours devices and riding behavior
3. Encourage safer travel through walking, transit, micromobility, and car-share over private automobile use
4. Discourage oversized vehicles and prepare for new vehicle techologies
5. Expand and maintain safety-focused street designs
6. Cultivate a safety culture through education, enforcement, and shared responsibility
7. Leverage emerging data, technology, and analysis for smarter interventions
8. Lead by example with the safest municipal fleet in the nation

I feel like #5 ought to be swapped with #2 and this feels like an overall reasonable direction.

Hopefully #7 doesn't turn into mass surveillance or Flock.
