FOLLOW. WELL, WE'RE GOING TO PUT JAMES IN A HOT SEAT RIGHT OFF THE BAT HERE FOR PLANNING. 
          IT'S ON PAGES 107 109. IT'S DOCKET 3703. SEEING HOW HE ONLY HAS ONE DOCKET PLANNING REQUEST APPROVAL OF REIMBURSEMENT 38,000 $138,000 GRANT FROM THE GOVERNOR'S TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE ON BEHALF OF ONEIDA HERKIMER COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL, THE REGIONAL METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION. THIS WAS IDENTIFIED BY THE. OH, THE SAFETY ACTION PLAN AND THE MONIES ARE GOING TO BE USED FOR OUTREACH, FOR EDUCATION FOR THE AMISH COMMUNITIES, WHICH IS TIMELY. I'M SURE MOST OF YOU PROBABLY HEARD THERE WAS A FAIRLY SEVERE ACCIDENT UP NORTH OF US IN OSWEGO COUNTY, WHERE A VAN RAN INTO THE BACK OF TWO BUGGIES. THERE WAS PROBABLY TEN PEOPLE INVOLVED, FOUR AND A SEVEN YEAR OLD WERE KILLED FROM THAT ACCIDENT. IT JUST IT DRIVES ME NUTS WHEN I SEE THESE BUGGIES PAINTED WITH FLAT BLACK, JUST, YOU KNOW, IT DRIVES ME ABSOLUTELY BERSERK. AND I HOPE. JAMES. SOMETHING LIKE THIS. WE CAN EDUCATE THEM AND HELP THEM TO, YOU KNOW, PUT SOME TYPE OF REFLECTIVE DEVICES OR SOMETHING ON THE BACK OF THESE BUGGIES TO THAT POINT, I THINK ONEIDA AND HERKIMER COUNTY. JAMES, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THREE ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED IN TWO YEARS, ONE OVER 12, ONE IN HERKIMER COUNTY, NORTHWEST OF THERE ON ROUTE 12, BUT NOT ON 12, BUT IN THE AMISH COUNTRY. 
          THAT ONE COUNTY. THERE WAS A THIRD ONE TOO. YEAH, WE HAVE THEM. I MEAN, AND I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER OF CRASHES. WE DO HAVE IT, BUT I JUST DON'T HAVE IT IN FRONT OF ME. BUT WE DO SEE THEM. BUT IT'S ACTUALLY MORE THAN THAT. IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NOT ALWAYS THEM BEING INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT AS MUCH AS PEOPLE GETTING AROUND THEM AND GOING FURTHER DOWN AND THEN GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. NOT TO MENTION JUST MAKING SURE THEY UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE PARTS OF THE ROAD AND WHERE THEY SHOULD BE. AND, AND THEN IT'S FARM EQUIPMENT AND OTHER THINGS ON TOP OF THAT THAT GOES BEYOND KIND OF THE AMISH COMMUNITY. BUT THAT'S PART OF WHERE THE EDUCATION KIND OF EXISTS. BUT I DO THINK I THINK IT'S 3 OR 4. I'D HAVE TO GO LOOK. THEN THERE WAS A FATALITY. YEAH, YEAH. THE FATALITY IS THE IS CHANGES, YOU KNOW, YOUR ABILITY TO KIND OF GET TRAFFIC SAFETY MONEY AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. SO THIS IS WELL NEEDED. GO AHEAD. I'M SORRY. YEAH. OTHER QUESTIONS. JUST I HAVE A QUICK. JUST A COMMENT. I THINK THE SHERIFF HERE ONE TIME, BUT THERE ARE DIFFERENT SECTS OF THE COMMUNITY AND SOME OF THEM HAVE THOSE MARKINGS AND VISIBLE MARKERS LIKE THAT. OTHERS DON'T BELIEVE IN IT. I BELIEVE WHEN YOUR NUMBER'S UP, YOUR NUMBER'S UP. BUT BASICALLY LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU REACH. WELL, I CAN TELL YOU HOW YOU REACH THEM. FIRST, YOU GET SOMEONE LIKE THE SHERIFF, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID TO, TO REACH OUT AND SET UP MEETINGS WITH THEM. SO WE'VE ENGAGED THEM. WE WERE IN HOLLAND PATTON A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TO START THAT CONVERSATION. AND YOU, YOU GET, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU GET THEM IN A ROOM AND, AND YOU START TO EXPLAIN TO THEM SAFETY PROCEDURES AND EDUCATION AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. AND SOME OF THEM WILL DO SOME THINGS. IT'S JUST LIKE ANYTHING ELSE, RIGHT? SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TAKE THAT AND MAKE CHANGES AND SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT. BUT THAT'S, THAT'S WE DO THAT THROUGH A SERIES OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. GOOD. TIM. STEVE, I THINK YOU JUST ANSWERED MY QUESTION, BUT MY QUESTION WAS GOING TO BE, HAVE YOU ALREADY IF YOU ALREADY HAVE AN ESTABLISHED OUTREACH AND EDUCATION PROGRAM. YEAH, YEAH, WE DO THAT REGULARLY. 
          THIS IS TO DO EXTRA. YEAH. IN THAT COMMUNITY, IN THOSE, IN THOSE COMMUNITIES, IN THOSE AREAS. SCHOOL ON A VERY BUSY ROAD. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET THEM TO PRODUCE TO A SCHOOL OR IS IT NOT RECOGNIZED? YEAH. WHO OWNS THE ROAD? JEFF'S FAULT? NO. YEAH. YOU YOU I MEAN, THERE'S PROCEDURES AND HOW TO DO THAT. AND THEN THERE'S STANDARDS ON THE ROADS IN THE SIZE AND THE AND THE ADT AND YOU KNOW, THE, THE AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC AND STUFF. YEAH. YOU HAVE TO INITIATE. YEAH. SO THERE'S WAYS TO DO THOSE KIND OF THINGS. YEAH. JED. DID YOU FIND THAT THERE'S SUFFICIENT SIGNS SIGNAGE OUT THERE NOW, OR IS THAT GOING TO BE ADDED TO BASED ON FROM A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE PERSPECTIVE OR FROM A, FROM A, OR FROM THIS GRANTS POINT OF VIEW? I MEAN, THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT THINGS GOING ON, RIGHT? IS TYPICALLY TRAPPED IN 
          [00:05:07]
CERTAIN AREAS OF THE ENTIRETY OF THE COUNTY, IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE COUNTY WHERE IT'S HEAVY TRAFFIC. YEAH. THIS IS PART OF WHAT WE'LL, WE'LL, WE'LL GO THROUGH AND TRY TO DISCOVER HERE AND DO. BUT WE'VE ALSO WE ALSO HAVE A SAFE STREETS FOR ALL PLAN THAT WE DID. AND THAT IS DONE. AND SO SOME OF THE TREATMENTS AND THINGS THAT THAT THAT RECOMMENDS ARE PART, YOU KNOW, MENTIONED THINGS LIKE SIGNAGE AND STUFF LIKE THAT. I WOULDN'T GO AS FAR AS TO SAY WHETHER I KNOW RIGHT NOW, WHETHER THERE'S ENOUGH IN THIS TOWN VERSUS THAT TOWN, BUT WE CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN THEM AND ENGAGE THEM AND FIGURE OUT WHERE WE MIGHT WANT TO DO THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. AND THERE'S ALWAYS DIFFERENT. THERE'S ALWAYS DIFFERENT RULES AND STANDARDS FOR SOME OF THOSE SIGNS, TOO. LIKE EVERYBODY WANTS A JUST FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, EVERYBODY WANTS A CHILDREN AT PLAY SIGN, AND MOST HIGHWAY SEWERS WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY DON'T WORK. AND SO, YOU KNOW, BUT SOMETIMES PEOPLE WANT THEM. SO THERE'S PROCEDURES FOR ALL THOSE THINGS. SO WE JUST, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF, OF GOING THROUGH THE, THE, THE PROCESS AND THEN PUTTING TOGETHER THE TREATMENTS THAT WILL WORK. AND BY TREATMENTS, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, SIGNAGE EDUCATION OUT THERE, BUT TREATMENTS ON THE ROAD, SIGNAGE AND WHERE THE SHOULDERS SHOULD GO AND WHAT THE SPEED LIMIT SHOULD BE AND WHAT THE CROSSWALK SHOULD LOOK LIKE, IF THERE SHOULD EVEN BE CROSSWALKS, SO ON AND SO FORTH.
