Trustee urges push to improve driver behavior for emergency vehicles

Trustee Atwood raised a public-safety concern during Trustees' comments, saying drivers frequently do not pull over for police or emergency vehicles when responding to calls. She said the problem is widespread and suggested starting a campaign, possibly at the federal level, for a short public-service message to encourage compliance. "She said she is thinking that maybe 30 percent pull over now," the minutes record, and she said she asked Administrator Kerkman to talk to the Fire Chief to pursue the idea.
