Meeting recording of Mayor's Commission on Persons with Disabilities (MCPD) Meeting on June 20, 2022
Megan Weir, Maya Amichai, Ofurhe Igbinedion, and Nicole Ferrara from OakDOT with the first annual update of SOS.
The Safe Oakland Streets (SOS) Initiative was launched in 2021 with the primary goal of preventing severe and fatal crashes and related disparities impacting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities, persons with disabilities, seniors, children, and low-income populations. This presentation will provide an overview of the initiative, progress made in 2021, and focal points for work in 2022 and beyond.
Candace Walters Reese and Kentrell Killens will respond to questions from MCPD regarding DVP program strategies to address the specific and critical needs of persons with disabilities (PWD), the type of assessments provided to community members who work with contracted service providers to determine if they are at increased risk of becoming victims of violence due to their disabilities, how the DVP is addressing the issue of PWDs finding themselves victims of police violence because of their disabilities, and how they track the outcomes of their program strategies.
