Review of Trash Collection Impacts • Work with haulers to develop appropriate and effective safety specifications for all new vehicles (e.g., rear and side strobe lights) and a timeline for retrofitting existing vehicles as a condition of the hauler license (see Appendix A for sample contract language); • Require haulers to participate in City sponsored /initiated "Slow Down to Get Around" safety campaign; and • Implement a Districted Collection System or City -Wide Contract for Services to minimize vehicle miles traveled: • Require fully- automated vehicles; • Require vehicles to have appropriate optional safety equipment; and • Establish safety incentives (e.g., sliding scale profit ratio based on safety record). Other Vehicle Street Maintenance Impacts As part of the analysis of trash truck impacts we evaluated the impacts of trash trucks relative to other types of vehicles, including delivery trucks and buses. Table 3 below provides a comparison of the average ESAL's for the various vehicle types noted 22 to the estimated ESAL's of residential trash and recycling trucks operating in the City. The impacts are also presented in Passenger Car Equivalents. Table 3 COMPARISON OF TRASH AND OTHER VEHICLE IMPACTS Vehicle Type i Number of ..
