OUTLINE <br />106 Paul Guthrie: Are the county schools involved? <br />107 <br />108 Heidi Perry: Let's Go NC is the curriculum they use. <br />109 <br />110 Paul Guthrie: Has anyone had any education with motorists? <br />111 <br />112 John Rees: In a perfect world, we would spend more time with driver's education. <br />113 <br />114 Jeff Charles: The real target here is not the young driver but the 18 -plus aged drivers. Why don't we get auto <br />115 dealers involved to hand out pamphlets when they sell cars? <br />116 <br />117 Abigaile Pittman: What about DMV? <br />118 <br />119 Jeff Charles: Certainly DMV but this is a state problem. The bigger issue is about pelotons. We still need to <br />120 target the older drivers first. <br />121 <br />122 Heidi Perry: We do traffic skills classes for riders. Two courses of action, one is for transportation planners and <br />123 the other is geared towards law enforcement officers. The dealer suggestion is great. <br />124 <br />125 Art Menius: The kids in driver's education today can be reached in class because they learn to drive with bikers <br />126 today, which is common. <br />127 <br />128 David Laudicina: Aren't most car dealers in Orange County? <br />129 <br />130 Heidi Perry: Car rental places? <br />131 <br />132 Jeff Charles: Many cyclists do 4,000 miles per year but there is not enough documentation of the incidents. <br />133 <br />134 Paul Guthrie: We need broad based education. We may want to think about ways and vehicles we can build <br />135 the outreach for the people we have been talking about. Send them to Abigaile to share with all of us. <br />136 <br />137 Alex Castro: We're on that path. <br />138 <br />139 Paul Guthrie: How do we handle the unfocused problem for the BOCC that often our roads are inadequate? <br />140 <br />141 John Rees: Actually the roads in Orange County are very adequate. Maybe it would be better to say cyclist and <br />142 motorist coexistence is inadequate. We need better recording of incidents. <br />143 <br />144 Tom Magnuson: What about crowd sourcing? <br />145 <br />146 John Rees: The new thing is a GPS type of documentation. <br />147 <br />148 Jeff Charles: Wiki Maps for commenting and recording of incidents, heat map and self - reporting of areas. <br />149 <br />150 Alex Castro: Technology: what are the experts doing? What technology is adaptable? We can use that to <br />151 educate the riders. <br />152 <br />153 John Rees: Don't focus the Wiki maps on just cyclists. Use if for a broader range of people. <br />154 <br />155 Tom Magnuson: They are called hazard maps. <br />156 <br />157 Art Menius: Or co- existence maps. <br />158 <br />
