Why do California drivers often get to keep a valid license, even after they kill someone on the road? A new CalMatters investigation studied tens of thousands of DMV driver reports and found that nearly 40 percent of the drivers charged with vehicular manslaughter since 2019 are able to drive on the road today. Nearly 400 of those drivers have caused other collisions since their first fatal crash. We'll talk to the reporter behind the investigation and a road safety expert about the DMV protocols and state policies at play. And want to hear from you: When should someone lose their driver's license? Guests: Robert Lewis, reporter, CalMatters; author, CalMatters investigation "License to Kill" Leah Shahum, founder and executive director, Vision Zero Network; former executive director, San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Learn more about your ad choices.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- Chances are you haven't heard of the Vision Zero Network yet, but a whole mess of cities across the United States are implementing their policies into their future planning and ordinances. What is it? Their stated goal is "to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all." Of course Minneapolis has jumped on board and included it in their new 2040 comprehensive plan. Minneapolis is already completely unnavigable. It is a virtual obstacle course driving on their streets. That's exactly what we need, narrower lanes, choke points at intersections, lower speed limits, speed bumps, roundabouts... sounds like a recipe for road rage. You need to be aware of this program, because now that Minneapolis has adopted it, it can easily make it into St Paul, St Louis Park, Edina, Golden Valley, and then down to the your suburb. I mean who doesn't want to eliminate accidents? We all do, but that doesn't mean that this is the way to do it. We shine some light on this extremely expensive and restrictive program. In the Local Lowdown, the city of Victoria was slapped with 38 open meeting law violations in 2014. The law is very clear about when and how a quorum of elected officials can communicate with each other. All of the council members that were indicted have been removed from office... right? Right? You will have to listen in to find out. Also, Andrew makes some bold and very wrong primary predictions (Jason, however, inadvertently nails the governor's race). Have you checked out our Spotify playlist? At the beginning of each episode Jason quotes some song lyrics that have to do with the subject matter of the podcast. Andrew never knows what they are, but now he can… and so can you! We’ve launched the Spotify playlist: “Community Solutions Music From the Podcast“! You can listen to Roundabout from Yes after listing to Episode 30 on Roundabouts… or kick back and enjoy a rocking playlist just for the thrill of it. We add a new song every week. Subscribe and enjoy! Don’t forget that you can also subscribe to our podcast on iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify, or go out to the PodBabble Podcast Network!
Vision Zero and Campaign Zero are two platforms describing a path to safer streets. If you'll remember, we were lucky to have Tamika Butler and Keith Benjamin in Episode 5 to talk about the importance of a racial justice lens in Vision Zero work. In this episode, we will build on the 'why' racial equity should be central to this policy (or any policy) discussed earlier, and focus today on the 'how', like, what are the critical next steps to make racial equity central. Join a conversation with guest co-host Naomi Doerner, Sam Sinyangwe, Nora Liu, Leah Shahum, and co-host Steph Routh. Naomi Doerner is a social justice and racial equity strategist within the national active transportation community. She is Principal Planner & Equity Strategist for Assembly for Equitable Cities. Nora Liu is the Racial Equity Here Manager for the Government Alliance on Race and Equity at the Center for Social Inclusion.
