Concord Police received a $25,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to streamline processes to collect and report traffic data.
“Accurate and timely data is critical to the safety of our roads,” Concord Police Lt. Mark Robison said. “This funding will help paint a clearer picture of our biggest traffic safety issues.”
“This program is new for 2021 and is an effort to improve how quickly crash data is collected and reported,” OTS Director Barbara Rooney said.
“High quality safety data is critical. It’s used to determine the nature of our road safety problems and it informs our actions in how best to address them. We are happy to provide local agencies with the necessary tools to develop or enhance their electronic traffic reporting systems.”
The grant funds will be used to:
- Develop a new, or update an existing electronic crash reporting system with software that is able to submit data to the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Data is racist. We need to RE-IMAGINE Data & Reporting to be more equitable.
Will we finally find out why all those vehicles kept mowing down that Poor little white picket fence, corner of Concord Blvd. and Galindo Street, that had no hydrant to protect it.
Or will it continue being one of the mysteries of the ages . . .
The vehicles must be racist against white fences, just like all the dems in the Bay Area.

Stole my thunder. Whether it’s this or federally funded sobriety check points, this is not a “win” for Concord. This is a loss for all American taxpayers. Concord is not the only jurisdiction that is so blessed to receive grants from on high. Nearly everywhere gets them. This is why we have national debt in the trillions.
More misuse of Federally funded money. And the beat goes on..
I’d like a share of that grant since I do my share of reporting bad drivers on my street. Can’t wait for wet weather, then it stops.
With the number of speeders and red light runners once the rain starts Concord PD is going to be busy. The $25,000 will be gone within a day.
@ZZ……”drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain…”
Will it fix the potholes?
Just more money pissed away by elitist politicians drunk on printed-out-of-thin-air money (that we must repay with actual dollars). Part of the middle-class welfare system known as government employment.
