“As a black woman, a social worker, and as a mother who has suffered a traumatic loss, I appreciate being heard and look forward to continued collaboration with the Committee and other stakeholders in the coming weeks and months. Fair and just traffic safety enforcement is crucial, and as we will hear from other witnesses today, it is also achievable.”
