Alfred / San Diego Union-Tribune / TNS COVID-19 has disproportionately affected people of color in case rates, hospitalizations and deaths. Despite this, people of color are getting vaccinated at significantly lower rates. Structural racism and COVID-19 are, together, creating a syndemic for Blacks, Latinos and Native Americans.

Opinion: Taking police out of traffic enforcement will help Berkeley

In July 2020, as part of the reimagining public safety omnibus, Berkeley City Council referred to the city manager the creation of a new Berkeley Department of Transportation (BerkDOT), in part to eliminate or reduce pretextual traffic stops. Their referral suggests combining within BerkDOT transportation planning and engineering, as well as unarmed, non-police equitable traffic enforcement.

The first part, presented below, provides context and data behind the issue. Part 2 will outline potential solutions and our vision for BerkDOT’s role in those solutions.
