Controls to you great hi everyone good afternoon welcome thanks so much for having me on today’s session my name is Rebecca Delphia I’m an advisor with AARP livable communities and today I’m gonna talk a little bit about AARP s commitment to working with volunteers to create more livable communities

Nationwide American communities are on the precipice of an enormous change but this isn’t a change that should really catch anyone by surprise because we are all of course aging right now about 45 million Americans are 65 or older and by 2030 that number will reach 70 three million Americans at that point

Fully one in five Americans will be older than 65 these charts show the dramatic shift that will happen by 2030 basically the darker the blue the higher the percentage of 65-plus citizens in a given state the growth of the aging population is particularly pronounced in some states such as Florida which we’re

Viewing here where the 50-plus population is expected to grow forty four point three percent from 2010 to 2030 but the real moment of change will actually take place a few years after that by 2035 we will for the very first time in our country’s history be a country comprised more of older adults

Than of children the US Census projects that just 17 years from now there’ll be 78 million people 65 and older compared to 70 6.4 million under the age of 18 an American child whose 10 years old today has a 50% chance of living to 100 or beyond when

You think of the greatest accomplishment of the past century a lot of people may think of putting a person on the moon we think even more astounding is that we’ve almost doubled life expectancy in the u.s. in the past hundred years the aging of our country’s population is not just

The baby boom blip people are going to live these longer healthier lives when today’s children are grown than they ever have before and that’s why AARP is involved that’s why we’re committed to helping communities become better places to grow up and to grow old or in our words more livable a change of

This magnitude brings challenges but we also like to think that it brings a lot of opportunities unlike in the past today’s generations of older adults are disrupting aging by redefining what it means to be in their 50s 60s 70s and Beyond instead of retiring we’re seeing older adults start businesses work as

High-level volunteers they’re driving local decision-making with involvement and activism at AARP livable communities we’re seeing how changing demographics and attitudes can make entire communities better for all people of all ages and we’re also seeing that when older adults can be brought to the table to discuss and answer questions like what would make

Your community more liveable their creative ideas and solutions that emerge that actually provide benefits for everyone the vast majority of older adults want to remain in their home as they age roughly 80% of adults 50 and older want to age in place in their homes in their communities and that

Percentage only increases with age most people want to remain in their homes and communities where they’ve lived because they like it there they like to see their friends they want to be close to children to grandchildren they may like and know their doctors their doctors know them and these connections are not

Just nice to have there actually needs to have they contribute to the health and the well-being of older adults social isolation has been identified as a social determinants of health and it actually poses the same risk to someone’s health as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day so when we create

Places that inhibit or discourage or prevent older adults from interacting with each other or with others as they age whether that’s due to mobility lost mobility or home design we actually contribute to this pandemic of social isolation instead of solving for it AARP is invested in creating more

Livable communities because we know that in order to support people to live their best lives to live independently to age in place we have to create communities that respond to the needs of older adults the great news is that many of the characteristics that we know older

Adults seek are the same ones that are attracting younger adults and that generally make communities more economically vibrant and more successful places both baby boomers and Millennials alike share an affinity for places that have shorter commutes a proximity to shops and services a mix of different homes and incomes and robust public

Transit options so we’ve talked a lot about what’s coming then the question becomes our communities ready for this since 1920 when cars first became available to American consumers we’ve developed roads for cars and for the people who walk bike or roll to the places they want to go the majority

Of people in the US are aging in car dependent suburban and rural locations transportation and pedestrian infrastructure are generally ill suited to those who don’t drive which can be very isolating from friends and family for the past 50 years we’ve built housing for young families and for people who don’t have trouble getting

Around in their homes and we built homes without thinking about the ease of use for the people living in them parks and public spaces have not always been designed for accessibility and communities have not always been designed for these sort of livability features but meanwhile people want to

Live very active and engaged lives in their communities and that’s where ARP comes in we help communities become more livable better places to live to work to recreate and to do business we help communities take a look at their housing transportation and access needs through an age-friendly lens more than 300

Communities and three states are now enrolled in the AARP network of age friendly communities through this five-year planning and implementation process real action is taken in communities across eight domains of livability we’ve seen the real difference that this and other strategies can make another community is

It in fact we’ll hear very shortly from our friends in Florida about how they’re making their communities better places for people of all ages when it comes to creating livable communities volunteers are very much the secret sauce as we like to say at AARP volunteers around

The country are engaged in a whole range of projects that run the gamut of all of our issues housing transportation public space we think it’s really appealing work from a volunteer perspective because especially compared to advocacy and education work it can be very tangible and there can be very immediate

Impact which is invigorating for volunteers volunteers are also uniquely positioned to drive with a little community’s change for a whole host of different reasons they provide a credible presence within a community they have knowledge of the community’s history they can bring networking resources and issue area expertise they

Can inspire and motivate others and obviously build city for community and state initiatives at AARP we’ve defined five different models or roles in which volunteers can be engaged in livable communities recognizing of course that there’s no one-size-fits-all model of volunteer engagement each local strategy guides the development of specific volunteer

Roles but even so these models offer a range of examples from across the country to inform and inspire work they can be viewed on a spectrum with opportunities to increase volunteer engagement through progressive levels of leadership and collectively they comprise a pretty robust strategy for volunteer engagement to advance

Livability work in a state or community first we have community volunteers these are volunteers that coordinate and support advocacy and programs through events and outreach so for example they may engage in tactical urbanism demonstration projects they could lead street safety assessments deliver educational presentations keep livability issues in front of candidates

Encourage people to vote and testify at public hearings write letters to the editor they can also support the implementation of livable communities initiatives whether it’s a volunteer driving snow shoveling program or maybe a community walking program issue area volunteers bring specialized skills and knowledge to their volunteer service a

Good example of this is a volunteer at AARP volunteer in Nashville Tennessee who comes to us with 50 years of urban planning experience and then is able to leverage that when he serves on a local Advisory Committee related to a transit plan community volunteer leaders may recruit and manage a team of volunteers

Engaged on livable communities issues or they could lead an age-friendly communities initiative by participating in all phases of the process from community enrollment to assessment to planning implementation and finally to evaluation and there are lots and lots of examples of this from across the country we have volunteers leading age

Friendly projects through the five-year cycle from making big big Georgia to Alexandria Virginia and everywhere in between statewide volunteer leaders can connect networks whether in or virtually to develop opportunities for sharing promising practices and delivering problem-solving assistance across livable communities with an estate a good example of this is a

Volunteer who chairs a statewide advisory team who holds regular calls with the leadership of the network of age-friendly communities and other key stakeholders so that they’re able to identify livable communities developments develop livability policy initiatives support local leaders and overcoming barriers and also encouraging innovation and our last model of

Volunteer engagements a little bit different from the others service year members are full-time volunteers who dedicate a year of service to an organization they may guide and support individual communities through the stages of work whether that’s developing a plan to produce impact developing strategies to reach goals establishing impact metrics evaluating program

Developing core teams assessing communities and resources they can also help to connect communities across the state into a Learning Network we’ve seen AmeriCorps resources and time some AmeriCorps VISTA resources tapped and a great example of this is in with the AARP maine state office where they have worked with national service members and

At least in part that’s contributed to the state office enrolling 60 communities into our network of age-friendly communities more than any other state the public dialogue focuses a lot on the needs of older adults but at AARP we believe that we don’t give nearly enough attention to everything older

Adults contribute to their communities absolutely an aging Society presents challenges in terms of the provision of vital services and supports but there’s also a whole lot of opportunity that’s just waiting to be tapped people aged 50 and older are involved in their communities and causes that are

Important to them three and four have volunteered in the past year their top motivations are giving back making a difference in their communities and helping people in need and this type of volunteerism can pay enormous dividends and is oftentimes an untapped resource in communities and our recent home and

Community preferences survey we found that half of the 50-plus adult survey respondents said it’s extremely or very important for older adults to have volunteer opportunities that allow them to actively engage in their community and they also identified the top three features for those volunteer opportunities transportation to and from

Opportunities for older adults to participate in decision-making bodies whether it be a community counselor committee and having a whole range of volunteer activities to choose from engaging people to enhance where they live through their skills and life experiences is really essential to creating livable communities and older adults are leading the charge they’re

Involved in their communities and what causes that they champion so how can you get started we’ve put together our top 5 tips for engaging 50 plus volunteers in your community first one of the very defining characteristics of this demographic is the life lessons and the influence that they’re able to bring to

The table so we encourage everyone to consider how to leverage their skills and experience to the benefit of your organization they may have specialized knowledge gained from a professional career or it could be soft skills like facilitation or partnership building that could be put to good use second 50-plus volunteers want to be

Involved in their community but where can you find them professional associations can be helpful for recruiting professionals or retired professionals with very specialized skill sets volunteer recruitment can also happen anywhere people who show up at meetings and events related to an issue area may wish to get involved in other ways

Third not everyone wants to be involved in the same way the 50-plus are often engaged with multiple organizations and obligations so flexibility is really key by offering a range of opportunities people can choose how they’d like to take part in a community effort or a program and we also always work to keep

Options open even after someone has taken on a role or task so that opportunities to grow always exist they may choose to increase their commitment over time through progressive levels of leadership forth utilizing proven volunteer engagement practices is essential regardless of someone’s age providing orientation and training to a

Newcomer or someone assuming a new role giving feedback recognizing and thinking those who have been involved for their for work and finally number five everyone wants to know that their efforts make a difference in the lives of others so always show how their contributions impact the community and make it a

Better place by solving challenges and inspiring change thanks so much for having me on today especially thanks to all my colleagues in Florida who are really leading the way when it comes to mobilizing and turning volunteers into leaders and communities I’m now going to turn it over to Laura Cantwell associate

State director for advocacy and outreach with AARP Florida good afternoon my name is Laura Cantwell and I am the livable communities liaison for AARP Florida I work closely with Rebecca and our national team and I had the opportunity to also work closely with volunteers and communities across the state I am also

Fortunate enough to work with state partners like the Florida Chapter of the American Planning Association I appreciate you all having us today and hearing a little bit about the amazing role that volunteers are playing in Florida around livable communities and I wanted to take a minute to dovetail on

What Rebecca just mentioned and tell you a little bit about how Florida started working on livable communities it really began here around policy work to ensure that older adults are able to age in place and that they not only have a healthy home but a healthy lifelong

Community as well and through that work I have had the opportunity to work closely with several coalition’s with the Florida Department of Transportation one of those being the space mobility for Life coalition which is made up of a broad-based set of organizations departments and universities with the

Goal of making roads safer for all aging Road users and I’ve also been able to work with the alert today a live tomorrow program that is also focused on pedestrian and simple safety and AARP was able to participate and the Florida Transportation Plan and strategic intermodal system policy plan which

Throughout that process we had a lot of volunteer engagement as well as the committee held planning sessions throughout the state and I wanted to start with transportation as because Florida has had a strong focus around Complete Streets as a reaction to the state’s high fatality rates that are noted year

After year and reports such as dangerous by design as a reaction to the 2011 report the state adopted a statewide Complete Streets policy and a subsequent implementation plan as a result of this at the local level AARP Florida volunteers have been engaging in this work throughout the

State through walk audit AARP has an easily downloadable walk audit toolkit that makes it accessible for groups to engage in this work and contribute back to their city or County’s complete Street initiative I wanted to show one other example of a walk audit that was conducted just two weeks ago in

Deerfield Beach by the Broward NPO the NPO utilized a RPS toolkit and you can see several of our volunteers and red shirts in the background who participated in this walk on this walk audit and as Rebecca said this livable communities work it goes beyond just transportation it looks at the age

Friendly network is an area that AARP has been Florida has been engaging in since 2015 and we have been working with volunteers and staff across the state and in 2015 we started with three communities that were engaging in this work and now we are up to 23 communities

That are working throughout the state of Florida as Rebecca mentioned they’re looking at age they’re looking at their plans through it H friendly Lynn they’re all doing assessments the community-level hearing back from residents also doing some internal assessment of their policies that they have in place and they are developing

Action plans based out of those assessments and this work is very supported by volunteers on the ground as a grassroots effort and when we talk about age-friendly I wanted to take a minute and show you what does it look like what does this mean Rebecca mentioned the eight domains

Of livability and they are all shown here this is from the city of st. Petersburg who participated in an exercise with community partners to really talk about if st. Petersburg is age-friendly what will that look like in five years and I love this image because it shows how all of these pieces go

Together to make an age-friendly community and it shows the role that the people play in that process added st. Pete so of course there’s a dog in the middle – that’s playing a very active role as well and this as I mentioned this community work would not happen if

It were not for our volunteers across the state so I want to take a few minutes and give you some background and what some of the work that’s happening here in Florida through those volunteers today one of our statewide volunteer leaders that I want to highlight cannot

Be with us he is actually at a reunion a homecoming for his college though he’s not here today but I wanted to take a few minutes and talk to you about what ken is been doing across Florida and in Broward County this is a picture from an

Event that happened two weeks ago and Pompano Beach where Ken presented a certificate to the city of Pompano Beach who just joined the Age Friendly Network and in the background you can see an article that was posted last year talking about the work that’s happening across the county and Kenneth’s been

Integral in working with cities nonprofit and the MPOs in order to have communities focused on policies and program to become more age friendly and I want to go back to our state snapshot of the communities that have joined and show you that the ones in red are the communities that he has

Specifically worked with over the last few years so his work has really been the the movement in in this area to have communities look at their planning through an age-friendly lens and to the question how does a volunteer become a leader and this work can pass has been through community involvement and

Opportunity as mentioned earlier he is now the chair of the Broward NPO citizen advisory committee and he sits on several other nonprofit boards such as the local Smart Growth partnership to help discuss these concepts at those meetings the other piece that is really important as Rebecca mentioned are the

Opportunities and resources at the state and national level we have webinars for volunteer staff and community partners on one-on-one about planning affordable housing we have publications such as the roadmap to livability on the right-hand side of the screen which is the sixth book series that has help on transportation how to do community

Listening sessions and these are all resources that kid has been using to further his work and using with volunteers on the ground and on the left-hand side is a picture from Florida’s APA conference this summer where Ken was there with one of his volunteers and I wanted to take a minute

To talk about that because now as a leader he is also growing capacity on the ground and he’s training his own group of core livable community volunteers that are attending City and County events to provide feedback on plans and learn more about what is happening in those communities and to

Highlight what AARP is doing as well at the state level to help support volunteers such as Ken and to help move the momentum of the work that’s happening here we are also providing opportunities such as conferences where we bring together those communities engaging to share best practices we held

One this year with our part some of our statewide partners the Department of Elder affairs and use this as a way to keep everyone engaged and informed on what’s happening and as a result of the initial conference we’ve been holding monthly webinars to highlight new reports new studies new research that is

Out across the US and in Florida and to just share some fun things that are happening at the local level such as bike rides like you see at the bottom and different open streets events one other tool that we have at the national level that has been engaged at

The state that we’re seeing in the community as well as our livability index I’m sure a few of you have heard of this we release our ability index a few years ago and this summer did a refresh of that data and it’s really unique because it looks at a livability

Score for a neighborhood to a city to a County to a state and volunteers have been able to take this information and look at not only their neighborhood but their city and community as a way to facilitate discussion and look at where there may be some gaps in their

Community and we’ve also been sharing this with partners throughout the state and using this as a national tool that is available to you so if you have not seen it yet I would encourage you to go and look at that at our aarp.org backslash livability index another way nationally that AARP has

Been supporting the work that’s been going on across the states is with our Community Challenge grants that started two years ago to help provide some momentum to the work that’s happening in communities and these are some examples of what that work looks like across the states

And then we also have a plethora of resources available online from our where we live book which highlights best practices that are happening across the u.s. I will say Florida’s and mentioned a few times in there too we also have the road map foldability series online and liveable intergenerational Park guys

We just had a new publication the National Office released focusing on creating parks and public spaces for people of all ages that was put together with 880 cities and the Trust for Public Land and again these are resources that are available online to help provide some education I was as I mentioned at

The APA conference this summer and was very excited to hear how many planners said they were utilizing these resources and they define them beneficial in their community so just want to make sure you guys know that those are there and now I want to take a few minutes and talk to

Some of our volunteers who have joined us today to hear from their perspective the work that they’re doing and and why they are part of this work so I’m going to start our discussion by talking to a volunteer who to go back to Rebecca’s slide is a true community volunteer leader

Jerome Williams is not only a community volunteer leader he works in the greater Orlando area but he is now a statewide volunteer as he is part of our AARP Florida Executive Council and I want to welcome you Jerome to the webinar and I’m going to start off and just ask you

A few questions why Jerome why are you interested in volunteering with AARP and livable communities Thank You Lora I like to begin by saying AARP you and ap a the mayor complain associate are doing a service that’s long been needed with this well Cass planets are the lifeblood of America and hearing from

The community only is food for them but I originally it was pedestrian safety that motivated me our lenders are high fatality rate the report dangerous on desire that I first became aware of in 20 where the pedestrian safety issue I became a web in 2012 and I want to learn

More what can we do to decrease the dangerous intersections in our land of where I live and from that I learned that it’s not just for des treant issue it’s a transportation issue and further research are working with AARP I learn about the network of age friendly communities which is a holistic approach

To make an alkane unic liveable for people of all ages and the more research I did the more I learn about AARP communities eight domains of love abilities I wanted to bring some of those concepts to my community my background and community organizing and public service motivated me to get

Involved and try and bring my community into the some learning some of the domains great Thank You Jerome and and he mentioned that he did a little bit of research which is a bit of an understatement I know you’ve been spending a lot of time reading and looking at comprehensive plans and why

Do you think it is so important to have the perspective of an older adult and a resident in communities and I think Rebecca hit the nail on the head in the opening and I call it the greening of America thousand of baby boomers are turning 65 every day and so planning

Communities that are walkable with various means of accessible transportation affordable housing and accompanying accessories is vital and assisting us to age in place absolutely and can you talk for a little bit about how you’ve worked with other volunteers and community groups to bring awareness to these issues

Well my major objective is to plant seeds throughout the community about the benefits of a livable community and from those seeds I hope to reap a harvest a communities that are where more people can age in place where we can provide more housing with universal design communities built with transportation

Orient development and the planning phase great and can you give me some examples of what kind of outreach that you’ve been doing with groups and agencies that are responsible for implementing these changes yes and it’s not just me it’s a small committee but we’ve met with the planner

First for the city of a letter and then with our MP o Metro playing Orlando to provide them information on AARP network of aids in the communities we’ve also represented AARP at a Metro plan Orlando thinking we’re together our stakeholders community partners and community residents from the region to receive

Input and and discuss the pros and cons of transportation and sister flora I also have a tenant a share it exercise with the city over Linda far-end drive Complete Streets project I’m hoping to educate the community at large so one one thing we did we have a a friendly ambassador training and when

A park at the end of 2017 for volunteers and community partners on AARP age-friendly initiative as part of the best of the training we had a walk audit to bring awareness to hide the built environment and the social blood play hand-in-hand great and we have some pictures of that others two sessions you

Attended but even on beyond that how are you working to empower other residents to have a voice in their community okay at the Ambassador training there were six residents from a community is the unincorporated community in Arlen air coal-fired heals the working class community built in the 60s and six

Members from that community came and became a friend and positives from the training so as a follow-up to that training and I think it was May a June of last year we had a listening session at the Pine Hills Community Center further relatives to educate them on level community and

To get input from them on how they felt that community was doing in the domains and what was their greatest challenge I think for most people in Florida’s transportation because of the it’s a suburb where it goes over my deep and most of the public transportation only travels to major highways so the

Community has a petition the county to build a transportation service to provide public transit for resident deer deficiency in it is that the buses are too big to go down the residential streets and so that’s where we are for the next step we will hoping to walk

Artists and pioneers great and I know at that event you collected data from responses from the residents and also did some interactive poll everywhere where people were able to respond to some questions about their most valuable feature in their community thank you so much Jerome for sharing a little bit

About what is happening in the greater Orlando area I really appreciate it thank you all right I’m going to turn over now to another issue area volunteer who is very much in the st. Petersburg area focusing on the issue of transportation and of Complete Streets Brian Kelly is a or P volunteer advocate

Here in st. Pete Brian thank you so much for joining and would you take a minute to tell us a little bit about your why you’ve been volunteering with AARP and your experience Thank You Laura and I’m very pleased to be here um I started volunteering with

AARP back in mid 2017 I really got a fire lit under me about becoming an advocate on behalf of our seniors who are often ill prepared to deal with the complexities of livability in their community in January I was happy to work with our lobbying team in Tallahassee to

Interview legislators about key bills coming up on the AARP docket that they were tracking that affected seniors and such as consumer loans utility service interruptions and elder abuse lately I’m taking on a florida utility ambassador role to study electric utility rate making and other aspects to understand upcoming legislation which will affect

Our senior population and I’ve also worked with the age-friendly workshop in neighborhood listening sessions but my latest effort or the effort that I’ve spent a lot of time with is with Complete Streets I just kind of believe that here’s a little formula if we can

Just go back a slide that if you’ve got volunteers who have areas of interest who can learn about those areas and work with the team that you’ve got a successful volunteer effort thank you so much and could you tell us a little bit more about the what you’re

Doing with complete Street so I became involved with the st. Petersburg effort to implement Complete Streets late last fall as we all know it’s a worldwide effort to create transportation systems that work for all modes of transportation equally so similar in other cities there’s a Complete Streets

Committee that meets at City Hall the transportation the city transportation and traffic departments are responsible for implementing Saint Petersburg’s plan and there are usually topics of interest related to the plan some get very specific where the committee is asked to provide contributions or input or should just changes to these initiatives you

Can see the list of staff who are represented on this community on this committee and lately the the city has engaged a consultant to bring in a to create a master plan for implementing Complete Streets in st. Petersburg so my goal here has been to become a subject

Matter expert to follow this long program it’s going to take five years and communicate both to AARP and to other stakeholders in the community how Complete Streets can benefit them as I mentioned a consultant has produced a draft report you can see all the work that they have done many infrastructure

Recommendations made across the city many additional bike route miles which is a very impressive number along with trails and what the main work product has been to create a series of maps which will help guide the work going forward such as desired speeds and on various major streets contact zones

Which represent what the main use is for those particular areas there are bus projects with a Pinellas Suncoast transportation authority as well as recommendations specific to major streets so we look forward to this these again this is a chance to make useful contributions to an ongoing policy discussion

This is just one of the maps from the draft report you can see where the consultant has classified various streets according to their primary use this is the level of detail that these maps go into and they are broken down by quadrant around the city so you take

Them all together and you’ve got quite a a complete picture of how complete streets will be implemented in st. Petersburg Brian I just wanted to say I loved your formula you showed earlier and having meaningful volunteer opportunities for you it’s very important can you give me example of that how complete Street has

Been meaningful to you and the work that you’ve been doing sure what it’s a really made me help with this is well this is a particular project here this is a well-known street in st. Petersburg it’s a major connect door between our northern neighborhoods and downtown that’s it’s been the subject of needed

Replayed updates for some time many discussions have come up around it but with Complete Streets there’s a logical way to improve the function of this street so you see all the things that have been done here it was the the length from 34th Avenue down to 5th

Avenue north which is our gateway to downtown and the changes that have been made the new crosswalks the elimination of a southbound lane which was critical to allow bike lanes and medians to be placed so like many of these projects like nearly all of them they began with

Neighborhood workshops that’s the key is to provide the neighborhood input so similar to our livability workshops which Laura touched on and which will be touched on further the Complete Streets Transportation Department’s went into the neighborhoods and held sessioning sessions on what they wanted to see and

You can see that speed reduction was a major point so one of the goals is to reduce the average speed and in hopes of making this corridor safer it’s in test phase now and is serving as a template for subsequent projects within the Complete Streets program

And again just one more example how it is really impacting you and your neighborhood sure that’s a quick photo of what the current status of the Martin Luther King jr. project you can see that lane markings are in place but really nothing else so the traffic study will

Go on for a couple of months they’ll compile data and then they’ll be able to tweak the design somewhat and add the other elements to it so to answer your question Laura on the next slide I happen to live in an area or on a major street right outside my door at the

Intersection of 7th Ave and 31st streets I’ve witnessed many traffic accidents and so and as due in part to excessive speed on this brief corridor so some neighbors and I got together and petitioned the city as to what could be done about it and over a period of

Months the city came up with the design that you see there in the inset to a slow down traffic what this is called a traffic calming measure and Complete Streets parlance it’s designed as you see with the oval to make traffic slowed down enough to go around the oval and

Continue on this design is going to be tested as we sell with the MLK slide in a series of lane markings first and then when the data is compiled and the the physical design will continue so this is just an example of in microcosm how Complete Streets really touches not just

The major streets and avenues of our community but is meant to assist Street planning within the actual communities which we live Ryan thank you so much I appreciate you sharing all the work that you’re doing in Saint Pete and the passion that you have for this thank you so much I am

Going to now turn it over to hear a little bit about what’s happening across the bridge here in Tampa Bay around the vision zero work with Gina Torres thank you thank you very much Laura yeah I’m trying to Torres I’m project manager zero hey Gina we’re having a really hard time hearing

You I don’t know if you’re on speakerphone or not but if you are if you could take yourself off you sound really distant Here I am Oh welcome thank you okay let me let me just repeat that I’m the project manager for version zero Hillsboro and that is the city of

Tampa and the smaller cities of Plant City in Temple Terrace and I was really thankful that I was asked to participate in this panel it was interesting to me to look at what I’ve been working on the last couple years from the angle of volunteers and I realized our entire

Vision zero action plan started was developed and hopefully eventually will be turned over to citizen volunteers and advocates so it’s really exciting for me to talk to you about that the you see Regina one more time we’re not seeing your screen don’t forget to click yes to

Show that screen okay let me try that again I don’t have the prompt that asks me to click yes it might be hidden can Laura let me hold on one second let me try changing it to you again there it is okay okay great okay slide before that except for this

Slide and you all please as I’m talking about vision zero I hope it becomes clear how much we needed the help of volunteers and citizen advocates it did start immediately from a group that brought the idea to provision zero to our community because we had this string of just horrible heartbreaking

Fatalities it happened to be about several high school students have been killed walking to school and it was it was just we were all up in arms and they had introduced the idea of vision zero which really is a simple idea that we can’t accept killing and entering any

One more on our on our roadways it started in Sweden and there’s a couple major cities in our country in New York and San Francisco that have embraced vision zero action plans and we really were curious and interested in the idea before we did that before we said okay

Let’s jump in and develop our plan we hosted a student video contest because of those crashes we felt we could get some peer-to-peer messaging from other students and it was really satisfying we had lots of kids interested they sent us 30-second videos there on our website and really got people engaged at that

Level of that age group but then we thought okay let’s look at this what is this vision zero thing and home we realized from other places that there was some great great things going on storytelling was one of the major selling points at least to me that if we

Can talk about the victims as humanize them it wasn’t just the pedestrian got killed or you know hit crossing the street it was Mary and she was someone’s mother or she was someone’s wife and talking about that might influence motorists to slow down thinking that maybe they’re these

Are their neighbors and their friends there’s a lot of good things to learn from these other places zero is the right number there’s a lot of data involved but data we needed it from the community as well we have good crash data but we needed to know what was

Happening in the neighborhoods and we gave the citizens an opportunity to give us feedback with an online interactive map where they could explain and show us where they were facing issues so we reached out and in transportation planning I’m usually dealing with a couple of public works departments maybe

The d-o-t and this was really fun because everyone in the community recognized how important it was to address this problem of killing and hurting people on our roadways so we had some great participation there was a a Brewing Company some businesses we had hospitals and n-double-a-cp but I will

Say too that those typical partners of ours like the Public Works Department and the DoD were a little maybe defensive because they have been doing so many great things we have Complete Streets like you guys have been mentioning our law enforcement agencies have been doing a great job but we still

Lead the country in killing people you know in our County and in our state so we needed to elevate the good things that they were doing so we focused on vision zero action plan on those kind of community things we can do that are free or low-cost and that can be accomplished

We can see some benefits within a year or two years so the first workshop we held we divided the group that showed up and actually we developed the plan the action plan over four workshops and there was never less than 50 people I mean we really had some great turnout

But we divided people into these four tracks paint safe lives and Brian was just mentioning a project there by him and it’s literally true it’s these a low cost pop-up engineering type of treatments it could be a planter that is put out to reduce the distance that a pedestrian

Has to cross and there’s other things but we would have people go and into that group that felt you know something resonated and they helped strategize one message many voices what is the message we want to get out here and how do we want to get it out so people would join

Into that group and then we had consistent and fair which is our enforcement angle and it was consistent fair meaning let’s use the data we have to direct law enforcement to enforce the traffic crashes that are happening for that particular area and to make have some community partners and still build

A relationship with law enforcement and the last one is the futures not like the past and this kind of our professional standards and operating procedures but not just not just making sure that roadway design manuals are addressing safety you know even more so than they already are but like even the human

Resources maybe maybe their orientation programs for new employees should include you know information about safety so it just all across the board and all of our professions let’s make sure that we’re doing everything we can to advance this idea of slowing down and being careful by the second workshop

Which was a few months later we held this in a in a community of concern this was a roadway that had like 20 fatality or 20 weather fatalities or serious injuries per mile it was it’s a very high crash corridor in low-income area and we held our second workshop out

There and we allowed that consistent and fair team to demonstrate what they look for the law enforcement what is show us what your road safety audits are like talk to us about the speeding issues and what could be done here and then we went back into the workshop into our

Workshops and we broke back out into those four groups and further refine the strategies the third workshop was at three months later and we decided that the paint saves lives team should show us some of the thoughts that they were having so we got we painted a bridge a bike lane on a

Bridge the bike lane was narrow and wasn’t very obvious that that’s where cyclists should be so that was a lot of fun and we had community members out again there was a great turnout and a lot of good input and went back into the into our workshop and this time we

Allowed everyone to see what all for those other groups are working on and vote on those tell us which ones we should do over this next year whether it’s easy to do or they’re the most effective so we pull we pulled the action plan together then and we were

Presenting it we presented it at the fourth workshop and we allow we demonstrated what the one message many voices a group had it’s things that they were working on and we had we had interviewed four local victims Robyn had been hit by a drunk driver and she has

Speech and watch as oh she’s barely able to walk and her speech is affected Shaun was hit by a bite he was on his bicycle and he was a bicycle delivery person and he couldn’t work anymore he went airborne he had broken bones Leo had lost his leg in a motorcycle crash and

Valerie’s daughter was one of those victims she had died walking to high school and they it’s a wonderful video it’s 15 minutes long it’s on our website and it was just it really got these stories these local people involved in kind of wanting to see trying to have

Others avoid the kind of heartbreak that they have had to deal with and kind of honoring victims so since that time it’s been about a year I just wanted to share with you some of the things that we’ve done and this is where you know it’s even more obvious that we had volunteers

But the consistent repair team adopted a one of our out of the top 20 quarters they adopted two different quarters this one was a roadway that the data told us that motorists were really kind of speeding through that area so it was about a mile and a half long

On one end of it was anchored by a high school halfway through there was a mosque and then at the other end was Temple Terrace or one of our small cities so we had all sorts of volunteers from those three organizations and stood out there with signs to alert motorists

Where people had died that they need to slow down to put their phones down these signs have gotten a lot of they’ve gotten noticed quite a bit in the media and you’ll see that others have been borrowing that we have over a hundred of those signs the other where you see

Their murals and the crosswalk that was a roadway that they adopted that was a two lane roadway sidewalks are missing very extremely low income low auto ownership and we got out there and started painting we had people coming out you can see someone a wheelchair it was really a great activity and we

Painted flowerpots the kids did and they lined where the sidewalk should have been so it was it was just a wonderful event the paint saves lives we’ve been doing all sorts of things but we do have a art contest underway now at an elementary school and they’re going to

Be having a mural painted we’ve got it sponsored a PA health sponsor part of the the cost for that and then one message grinning voices this is the action track that all of those other major cities that have vision zero plans have said you really do focus on this

Part for the you know maybe the first two or three years of your plan it’s just getting that word out so we’ve done a march for Alexis Miranda that was Valerie I pointed out in the video her daughter we’ve twice now we’ve done a walk of

Silence for her and our website and our Facebook page is just full of a lot of great information and we have really connected with the community that way we have a bunch of these signs we’ve made their bumper stickers for along those high crash quarters we focused on what

Schools were there and kind of put their mascot like I brake for the Lions or I brake for the Chiefs and then have vibrate for my neighbors and there were several neighbors everywhere that we gave those out we did a presentation because part of part of vision zeroes

One message many voices is speaking the speaker’s bureau but we were you know we’re now to the point where we kind of want as a government agency you were limited in what we can how much we can push certain things you know so we were kind of hoping that we can turn this

Over to a non-profit or maybe join another nonprofit but in the meantime we’re going to keep working on it and getting it you know shaped up and keep implement our strategies but we’ve formed an executive committee and these are volunteers who came to be to our

Workshop and said yes I’m going to take on me I’m going to lead this effort so we have speakers the speaker’s bureau heroes which is vision superheroes we need sponsors I thought it sounded nicer to say vision zero heroes and asking people for money and sponsors events and

Heartache driving down heartache so we are going to be working on our website updates that people can just request a speaker I’ve – speaker trainings we have over 20 people that have been trained and these are regular people like citizens I mean a few government agencies but mostly just volunteers have

Gotten on our speaker’s bureau and this is an example of two of them they have the profession is not involved at all in planning and they’re wonderful and they they help spread the word that this is a good thing to do they have a good time with the speaking engagements heroes the

Gentleman that’s shown here was a small business owner we paid for a couple of locations he’s got a business that has indoor ads basically it’s bathroom stalls where you see messages and posters in there and he more than doubled the locations and we were having them for a year and there along those

High some of those other high crash quarters where maybe during a March it really isn’t going to be effective but at establishments along those and we need you know we want to make it easier for others to become sponsors so we’re developing a brochure where you can have different levels of sponsorship

And we’ll be talking about this more in our next corley meeting events I want to share this one was from last Saturday so our events team pulled together we painted shoes white and we walked reverently down our River Walk and place the shoes and took pictures of those and

We had speakers this particular woman is the mom of a young man who was killed on his motorcycle someone had cut in front of him and she’s just an amazing person and she wanted to tell that story we have neighborhood associated this is from neighborhoods on this is from a

School where I’ve gone out and actually some of the the two two different schools had asked for the signs and we sit out there and held signs and discovered that there was some engineering issues there was a right note right turn on red sign ahead wasn’t working anymore so we had that gotten

That fixed and in another school because of the moms and and the teachers that had gone out there with us they were getting some new crosswalks so you know this is leading to some permanent changes but even just behavioral changes of standing out and holding the signs

Have been really fun and effective the heartache are driving down heartache in engaging with some of those victims and kind of giving them a platform to enact change is something I really want to see happen I don’t have a story of my own and I can’t do I can’t be the person to

Start this but I and it’s hard to reach out to people they’re not maybe they’re not ready yet to talk about that that tragedy but Melissa Wanda you guys may probably already have heard of her she’s wonderful speaker she’s coming to our meeting to help organize a family for

Safe Street chapter so we’re moving forward with that this coming year and this is what I always ask when I do presentations of our volunteers to just get involved as much as you know little as they want to get our get people to our Facebook page

Share that video that we have we have a pledge on our website and I do presentations I was just that one Wednesday I neighborhoods love to hear about this and with the more people that that we tell you know this is vision zero and it’s we’re all responsible

There’s no victim blaming you know we all need to pay attention so it’s it’s really great for volunteers to do that so that’s the end of of my part okay thank you um we’re gonna go ahead and jump into some questions then um let’s see the first question is gonna be

For Rebecca are some communities more socially isolated than others and what are the characteristics sure so we a social isolation is I would say a cross-cutting issue across communities I don’t want to say that that it only affects some however we do know that particularly for some of our rural

Communities that that that social isolation is particularly of concern particularly when it comes to loss of mobility and transportation options that that said it’s you know I think therapy’s done a lot of really interesting work on social isolation it does affect older adults it also affects

People of all ages and and so I really do think it is one of those Universal issues that any community would want to look at although particularly for rural communities that might be an additional consideration would anyone else like to chime in Laura do you have anything and

Don’t forget to unmute yourself so I would just completely agree with her fact I think that social isolation was one of the biggest reasons that we started working on this work as well really looking at how we can ensure that older adults are able to get out of their communities and into their

Communities is a real challenge especially on the transportation side you know what people outlive their ability to drive an average by ten years making sure we have made communities that help them get out and see their friends okay or her Jerome well I’ll chime in that I’ve worked with community

Organizations of seniors and that is that biggest obstacle some groups are carpool because of the lack of public transportation where they live the Pioneers commune specifically and they have a weekly meeting to prevent social isolation where they have computer classes they have lunch they make guest speakers as I met up and

۸۵% of the people I’ve talked to they’re at least 85% transportation is their number one issue that and to help prevent social isolation okay Thank You Gina do you have any final thoughts on this one yeah I am mainly in a different kind of viewpoint but I think that our seniors we don’t

Utilize their their willingness to help as much as they they have the time and a lot of them have the energy I spoke at a Senior Center on Wednesday and they want to help they want to sponsor a mural painting so I think I think and it makes

Them feel useful so I feel like maybe that’s a demographic that we don’t reach out to enough thank you um I I personally have a question in the small community that I live in right now alone there are two development projects going on one is just a 50 and better kind of community

That’s being developed I think there’s maybe like 50 or 60 you know just single story homes and it’s marketed towards your 15 better community and then the second thing is at this gigantic complex where it starts sort of just independently living then you can scale to assisted living and then you know

There’s sort of a full-on nursing home wing or Alzheimer’s weighing and so these developers are coming into our communities and and erecting these little mini communities however the I guess your the folks that would potentially be living there your older population they’re not a part of the

Process you know I’m on a review committee and I said when we’re looking at one of these site plans there are no sidewalks and I said to the developers is this intentional like did you talk you know perhaps some of these you know folks that are living in these 50 and

Better communities want sidewalks how do you know so from your perspective how do we work better with developers and making sure that the the folks that are going to be living here and kind of Aging in the community you know get a say in some of these developers that

Just come in and erect these mini communities I got you speechless don’t I Laura I’ll go ahead and say something there I that is absolutely so important to have that voice with the builders and when we’re thinking about building the communities and I will say that’s one of the

Features that I personally really value of the Age Friendly work and the communities that’s happening across Florida is the first part of this is really emphasizing that we are listening to older adults that they’re part of this process and through that work the very first part is doing an assessment

Of residents to hear from them you know are these is this community meeting your needs or their sidewalks and through that work it’s really starting some discussions on the ground with those different organizations different partners and interest groups that to say that to make sure we’re trying to get an

Older adults voice and more areas within the community and I do agree that that is a challenge and I think that is an opportunity that we really have through this work and that we’re seeing some connections with different groups that we were not connecting with before through the Age Friendly Lind

I think that’s right and we absolutely believe that older adults should be at the table for those conversations when it comes to new development a new new assets and resources coming to their community and I think to take what Laura said further we the AARP network of age

Friendly communities is in over 300 communities now certainly not everywhere but we are growing very fast and to the extent that that those community that that infrastructure in the community those groups of volunteers and partners that are organized around these issues can be an asset to developers I think

Those are very much the sort of conversations that they would want to be a part of so this is Tina those are very kind answers as a planner I think it’s absolutely imperative that we do not allow waivers of these facilities there has to be a really good reason and they

Should just be standard in place done correctly I feel thank you next question is we actually have a couple questions regarding the green paint lines for the for the temporary bike lane pains and the first one is actually kind of interesting in the world of autonomous vehicles the manual and uniform traffic

Control devices makes paint markings nationally recognized so will you be creating some kind of driver confusion and future problems for autonomous vehicles that might not recognize some of these temporary features and I have to say there’s never no matter what the topic is no matter what topic we have on

The webcast series it always comes back to autonomous vehicle somehow no matter what the topic you always just have a question of his vehicles it’s everywhere it is everywhere and there’s a polarizing topic as well because there there’s a lot of unknown still things to be worked out

I don’t think that will we don’t want to sacrifice the safety of one mode over another and if if there will be cyclists out there and there will be people walking so they took a great question I guess we’ll have to see there is smart paint as well so there’s ways I’ve heard

About that that maybe there’ll be a way to notify the vehicle that they’re approaching or driving towards or into a lane that that they shouldn’t be in it’s a great question does anyone else have some thoughts on that I guess not okay next Gina another one

Here where does the money come from for things like the the paint’s on those the temporary bike lanes and also the question is are you paid where does that money come from – oh my gosh these are great questions um so I have pretty much depleted the Planning Commission’s

Budget when it came to materials like this so I am paid I’m an executive planner with the Planning Commission and the NPO we were able to get finagle buying some that paint that we bought for the green paint came to about $125 so it wasn’t like you know it was overly

Expensive it was also water-soluble this was a demonstration so eventually it took about a year but it didn’t wash away but another way that I’ve managed to squeeze in getting other materials like the bumper stickers the other paint from that mural we have planning dollars so we use consultants for some of our

Work and we’re able to have a task as part of that consultant work to develop some outreach materials so we kind of squeezed it into that way and it was thus far not too expensive but that’s why we want sponsor or vision zero heroes we want somebody to sponsor the

Next event or the you know that the next painted mural or sup or even if it’s in kind where they can it could be a paint company that donates the paint to us the signs as well I’m trying to get somebody to will pay for 50 if they produce

Another 100 because to the neighborhoods really want to keep these and I keep having to collect them back and they’re getting pent up but but that’s interesting I I am paid to do this and I really like what I’m doing so I guess I’m really lucky alright thank you

Next question is for Rebecca are the AARP volunteers typically senior citizens or are they are there all ages advocating for older adult related issues another yeah so AARP as many of many people know is a membership organization of the 50-plus but we truly believe that livable communities are

Good for people of all ages and our volunteers reflect that probably a higher percentage or proportion would be in the 50-plus demographic quite simply because that is our membership base and we’re able to be in communication with them through various means but but I think that the best programs I think to

Gina’s presentation I think Gina Illustrated this so beautifully are really and truly intergenerational when we’re able to build a case that these elements are preferred and valued by people of all ages and sometimes we do use that 8 to 80 frame that I think was on one of the slides that’s where I

Think we’re really the most powerful so in our work we oftentimes have joined hands with partner with organizations that may be working for Children and Youth or all kinds of other demographics so that we really are able to to do this work on behalf of everyone Laura and I

Would just add to what Rebecca saying for some examples here in Florida with our Age Friendly work in st. Petersburg we really have emphasized all ages and the work and we have worked with college students to get their input as well and really looked at it from a very

International Lynn and that is something as far as volunteers that we do see across the state in these communities there is so much value when we have that intergenerational input so to your question we often do in some of some of our work we do have people volunteering

Of all ages great thank you um and like the question regarding autonomous vehicles we wouldn’t have a webcast that didn’t ask a question about social equity which I’m always pleased when I get questions about that so the question is could aging-in-place contribute to gentrification and I think more importantly we should address ways

In which aging-in-place can avoid gentrification and what are some best practices to that and this is for anyone if anyone wants to get started and Rebecca because your sound is yeah I think that’s I think that’s a really important question and we’re seeing some states around the country beginning to

Really look at equity issues probably most notably our state office in New York has recently published a report but Michigan actually replicated to a certain extent called disrupt disrupt disparities which is really looking at some of those disparities and policy solutions that could help close some of

Those gaps that exist in communities of color we really do want all communities to enjoy the same stability equal footing and offer the same sort of choices for people as they age and so we think that by by creating some of the built environment that will allow people

Age in place we are actually able to do that to a much greater extent recognizing that our historic and justices that need to be addressed along the way Laura do you have anything to chime in about no I would just I would echo that what Rebecca is saying that it is

Something that is very important and something that we’re definitely talking about more and more here in the state too when we’re looking at those communities and I think that’s why it is so important to have these community conversations listening sessions that we’re having with residents to find ways

That when we’re making changes that we make changes that allow them to stay in place and stay in their community so that is the valuable part of those listening sessions and providing that feedback back to the elected officials okay thanks I think we’re gonna end with

Just one more question it’s a good one and we’re looking for best practices for suggested language for comprehensive plans or suggested language for codes that you know revolve around this topic of age friendly communities and Gina maybe we’ll start with you on this one do you have any comments on best

Practices or you know ways in which to to get some language in you know an updated comm plan or code revision it is definitely on it is a direct strategy and the vision zero action plan under our future is not going to be like the past it’s not something we’ve

Tackled yet we’ve tried different aspects of this especially when it comes to well more in the land development code when it comes like bicycle parking and allowing for some of these other features but it isn’t I don’t have a direct example of anything in our comp

Plan that is cutting edge on this topic but I definitely will take a look and ask some of our land use planners this is Laura I will actually give you a good example here in Florida and it’s a grassroots volunteer effort as well in miami-dade County they’ve been working

On age friendly initiatives for quite some time now and it really started with kind of what Brian and rooms that they’ve been doing going to meetings and and being there and having a voice and because of that in miami-dade there are some examples where language was put into their comp

Plan to keep older adults in mind in all policies so there was language added to the comprehensive plan and then also to the PPO plan to look at making sure that you’re keeping in mind older adults and all policy and another example that I would bring up here as a policy change

Or miami-dade is they also put together a policy for parks which is a guide for older adults in parks to say what kind of features would make a park age friendly so they’re looking at policy there and several different areas and all of those examples are available on

Their website which is the miami-dade eight really initiative you can go and see some of the policy changes that they’ve been working on over the past few years you thank you I don’t know Rebecca if you have any other final comment I think that’s very close yeah the one thing I

Would direct folks to I know Laura gave a great overview of all the resources we have to offer but on the AARP livable communities website we do have a subscription form for our weekly e-newsletter we’ve got a whole bunch of resources on there we’ve got some on

Foreign base code I know we have some new resources forthcoming in early 2019 around the housing charrette that recently took place in San Jose California and some code reform from that and just the host of other resources that are coming out so if you haven’t checked it out we do encourage

Folks to take a look sign up for the e-news newsletter and we certainly hope you find some of what you might be looking for there as well could I just add one thing we do have health in all policies that of a huge initiative here in Hillsborough and we’re doing a lot

With community garden work so I know it’s you know it’s an angle of the question about Aging all right well okay Rebecca Laura Jerome Brian and who I think had a duck out a little while ago and Gina thank you for joining us this was a great session

Today and everyone remember to head over to Ohio Oh planning that org slash planning webcast and you’ll be able to get a PDF copy of this session just give me a few minutes to upload it and we’ll get a recording of this presentation up on our web cast or on our youtube page

Which just head over to youtube and type in planned webcast and we’ll pop up so thanks everyone and have a great weekend and we’ll talk next time
