Gerri can a damning new report pushing General Motors even deeper into controversy a Watchdog Group now linking at least 300 deaths to the recalled cars specifically because airbags didnt deploy in the crashes. Joining me with the latest is the executive director at automobile nag seen. It is magazine. It is great to have you here, todd. Thanks for bringing your expertise. A new report as we just said today, they say, not true, 12 deaths in 31 accidents. It is more like 303. Issues with these, these airbag deployments. What do you make of this new report . Well i think the report is going to open up, has opened up this issue a lot further and i think the number is still kind of unknown because the report issued, lists 13 examples of deaths and it lists, it shows that those cars did not deploy their airbags but doesnt say whether the ignition was still on or not when the airbag deployed. So we dont know, we dont have a direct connection between the ignition key problem and the airbag pr

Ccessible under the ada. We looked at where there were more aboardings at the stops at the transfer location and other Transportation Options where it was an end station or major trip generator like a hospital or school or something that one would interpret many people would want to go to. At that time we did a plan and had a lot of public input and we determined key stops and we then and bob can testify to this because he was involved with us. We went out into community and worked with the community to put platforms into the middle of the street. That was a difficult process because you are dealing with issues regarding parking, regarding drive ways, businesses, its wasnt something that had been done in the past and it wasnt an easy process but it was a very important process because it allowed people with disabilities to get to the parts of the community that they hadnt been able to get to before. As part of that we put an existing line. We made the line access to the car system and

I know you had a lot on your agenda today. You covered a lot of extra ground. A couple questions. One, is it on the Feasibility Study that guides you on the process upon which stops you are going towards next along the way and how can the public be up to date on which ones in the future are going to be addressed . Sure. There are two things we did we have heard from many people, this is important to my son or this is a stop that i need. We took all that into consideration in terms of looking at it. Then its really the geometry. You look at it and see where there is more distance between stops. They also happen to be the ones that are on the second list which makes sense because the geometry hasnt changed. We are always open to any new input if people are interested in a particular stop we want to hear from you. We encourage anyo
