The letter discusses concerns regarding the eligibility and completion rates of neighborhood requests from EPCs compared to other communities, highlighting disparities in traffic safety service requests. It raises questions about emergency response times and the effectiveness of responders in preventing fatalities in EPCs. The author advocates for revisiting the 2018 Complete Streets Design Standards to ensure pedestrian-supportive elements are included in repaved roads. Additionally, it suggests updating and translating traffic safety resources and references a model from Pittsburgh's traffic calming website. The author expresses a desire for an analysis of the costs associated with traffic collisions to support the Vision Zero initiative.

Are basic neighborhood requests from EPCs proportionally eligible to be completed as requested? Or is it possible, due to regulations or roadway classifications or other factors, that requests from EPCs have to be modified or rejected at a higher rate than requests from other communities? Pages 19 and 20 indicate, "39 percent [of quick build projects]" and "31 percent [of basic traffic safety service requests]" were in MTC EPCs, "while those communities accounted for 26 percent of census tracts." Given the disparities that EPCs often face, should those percentages be higher in order to deliver more equitable outcomes? Also, although this audit report is technically focused on proactive traffic safety services, a very related and important topic is the delivery of services after a severe crash has occurred. I would have liked to explore: How do SJPD/SJFD/ambulance response times to KSI crashes compare between EPCs and other communities? How often are emergency responders and/or hospital personnel able to prevent a serious injury from becoming a fatality, in EPCs vs other communities? Finally, I'd like to continue to highlight the need to revisit/strengthen the 2018...
