Jason Lindland (Oregon State Police), Sgt. Bret Barnum (Portland Police Bureau), Aria Minu-Sepehr (Team Oregon) I. Welcome and Introductions Chair Chris Henry called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m. Chair Henry introduced Troy Costales. Mr. Costales announced meeting instructions for members, liaisons, and guests. Roll call of introductions. II. Approval of Minutes for Previous Meetings (February and April) Chair Henry called for a review of the February 6, 2020 meeting minutes. MOTION: Mr. Munsell moved to approve the GAC-MS meeting minutes of February 6, 2020 as presented. Ms. Weber seconded. Call for vote; unanimous. Motion passed. Chair Henry called for a review of the April 16, 2020 meeting minutes. Mr. Hamon moved to approve the GAC-MS meeting minutes of April 16, 2020 as presented. Ms. Weber seconded. Call for vote; unanimous. Motion passed. III. Chair and Committee Member Reports Chair Report Chair Henry attended the OTSC meeting on July 8, 2020. The Team Oregon tuition increase recommendations by the GAC-MS and Transportation Safety Division (TSD) were presented to the members. The OTSC had unanimous approval of the Team Oregon tuition increase. There were questions as to why there were dissenting votes and an explanation was given that they do not write opposition reports. Chair Henry reported at the meeting that Team Oregon and Oregon State University are exploring options to address the equity issues. Chair Henry stated that during his experience riding in South East Oregon deserts, he has had time to contemplate what contributes to the death of motorcycle riders. There are diverse individuals that ride. The conversations with other riders all point to impaired driving and excessive speeding as the largest contributing factors for rider deaths. The Committee is working to improve the safety outcomes of these riders and other users of the transportation system. Chair Henry reported that the new BMW motorcycles have adaptive cruise control technology that maintains safe following distances. This is promising for riders. Chair Henry stated that his new vehicle has such a robust detection system that the car will come to a complete stop on its own. There are promising technological advances that are coming out for rider safety. Member Reports Ms. Strauss shared that she was at a North Plains ethanol-free gas station and flagged another rider for a fill up who happened to be her inspirational female rider. This incident made her realize how small, precious, and prominent our community is and felt blessed to have that encounter. There are beautiful experiences to be had on two-wheels. Mr. Hamon stated that all of his plan for the summer have been cancelled due to COVID-19. Mr. Hamon reported almost getting his motorcycle wheel caught in a lane patch and realized that they do not have engineering standards. Although lane patches are efficient, there should be standards to avoid causing safety issues. Mr. Hamon reported that everything is safe and life is good. Mr. Munsell reported that COVID-19 is interfering with all of his riding plans and contact in the community. Hopefully, that will change soon. Mr. Munsell stated he was really looking forward to the ride this year but it does not look that will happen. Mr. Lodwig wanted to pointed out two observations: (1) motorcycle sales have increased significantly (20%); and (2) the appreciation of the discussion in the minutes regarding the teen driving course in preventing teen crashes. Mr. Lodwig stated he would like to see data that compares the crash rates of teens who have taken and not taken the teen driving course. Ms. Weber noticed that her accessory sales was one of the best Springs ever and that the new riders are very anxious in taking the endorsement course. Ms. Weber has been riding on the weekends and having fun. Ms. Steele did not have a report at this time. Chair Henry asked that the TSD staff members introduce themselves. Mr. Costales, Ms. Pearl, Mr. Greiner, and Ms. Ozawa reported being present. IV. TSD Report Mr. Greiner stated what Chair Henry reiterated that if we can reduce impaired driving, we can reduce fatal crashes. Mr. Dan Estes of the DUII program and Mr. Greiner are looking forward to presenting the results of the listening session to the Committee. Mr. Greiner also reported Jody Raska started this week as the new driver education (DE) program manager. Ms. Raska was the executive assistant for this Committee for a very long time and has three family members who are riders, therefore, she has an interest in the program. With her experience, Ms. Raska will be a great addition to the DE program. Mr. Greiner addressed Mr. Logwig’s request on DE data by stating that at one point, DE drivers represented only 12% of the total fatalities of all vehicles. Historically, driver education drivers are involved in fewer crashes. Mr. Greiner reported losing 12 riders compared to 15 in 2019. The problem is that we lost a number of riders since July 1st. Some of the crashes may be familiar with the crash in Sisters, Borne, and the Coast making the official fatality count to at least 15 riders. The 2021 Highway Safety Plan was sent to NHTSA for approval with the requested review of program goals with COVID-19 impacts and law enforcement (LE) availability. Mr. Greiner stated that the program target goals have been adjusted 2 down to reflect these impacts to the budget and LE availability. Mr. Greiner also reported working closely with Team Oregon dealing with factors such as counties with limited public openings and site- owner venues that have discontinued public openings. Mr. Greiner asked all those listening to pay attention to posted speed limits and road signs, especially the curve advisory signs. Riding in a compliant manner provides less risk. The agreement with the DMV and the law enforcement (LE) agencies only covers those individuals who already have a permit or endorsement that expires. The extension was provided for the renewal process and not for new riders. There has been incorrect messaging out there that new riders can ride unendorsed. In Oregon, all new moped and motorcycle riders must complete the mandatory motorcycle safety training course and complete the requirements of the DMV. Mr. Greiner asked to spread the awareness. Due to COVID-19 the State Motorcycle Safety Administrators (SMSA) 2020 Summit has been postponed to October 13-16, 2021 in Boise, Idaho. Lastly, Mr. Greiner shared information from Paula Leslie of BikePac and American Bikers Advocating Training & Education (ABATE) of Oregon are beginning the process of creating a custom vehicle license plate to increase motorist awareness of motorcycle riders and the proceeds could be directed to the Team Oregon motorcycle safety program. Any interest in being part of this project may contact Jeff Greiner or Alycen Ozawa of TSD to forward to Ms. Leslie. V. Team Oregon Update – Restart of training programs; Staffing Changes; eRider End of Course Test; DMV Student Data Entry Mr. Minu-Sepehr stated that OSU approved operations as of June 20, 2020. Some sites were prepared and opened the same day, for example, Clackamas Community College. Some sites are approved to reopen on future dates such as July 12 for Chemeketa Community College in Salem; but others are still closed such as Portland Community College campuses. There are 25 sites across the state, with 6 sites offline and the other half with delayed openings until mid-July. Team Oregon reduced 3.5 full time positions. Three full time positions and half of a management position were eliminated. Overall, there are four less positions of the original thirteen. This represents a 30% reduction in staff. Team Oregon discussed the operational plan. The salaried staff are working more than 8 hours per day and there is concern of the impact on company morale. All efficiencies have been examined and identified, and processes have been streamlined. Team Oregon has been working with TSD and DMV on being able to offer the online eRider end of course knowledge test. Team Oregon is now able to electronically upload and send completions of rider training courses to DMV in real time. Cassie Bay of DMV was the person who helped developed this process. The first transmissions will occur this week. This will eliminate printing physical completion cards providing cost savings and efficiency for the program. Chair Henry asked if there have been conversations with OSU about the low to no income subsidies. Mr. Minu- Sepehr stated that OSU financial aid is only for students seeking degrees or certificates. There are two other options. The OSU Foundation governs a donation and offers assistance. Specific departments also offer assistance. The other considerations are the source and size of the funding. Team Oregon does not know what the anticipated need may be and is working on this data. Some of the difficulties are deciding the amount of funding to cover the requests for low to no income needs and the selection process needs to offer funds to those that need assistance the most. Ms. Steele asked if Team Oregon could follow the driver education program. Mr. Greiner stated that they are already looking into the DE program.

  • Enforcing the International Sports Boycott of South Africa at Oregon State University; News Clippings from the Struggle, 1980-1982
    Enforcing the International Sports Boycott of South Africa At Oregon State University; News Clippings from the Struggle, 1980-1982 I U St I - - Compiled by Ed Ferguson History Department (1979-1991) Oregon State University -- -r Corvallis, Oregon - r- 4 4 I I ii Introd uction ii This is a booklet of news clippings and other pertinent material from the struggle to enforce the international sports boycott of South Africa at Oregon State University from 1980 through 1982. The struggle took place because of campus sporting ties with apartheid South Africa that violated the international ban on sports with that country ruled by a white-minority regime. Hence, it involved educating students, the local community and others throughout the state about the South African system of racial domination and oppression called "apartheid." Oregon press items in this booklet are primarily from the campus Daily Barometer and the local Gazette-Times. There is also material from other newspapers in the state: the Oregonian, the (Salem) Statesman- Journal, the (Eugene) Register-Guard, the Portland Observer, the (Roseburg) News-Review, the Redmond Spokesman, the (Prineville) Central Oregonian and the Blue Mountain Eagle published in John Day. The African Students' Association led the campus movement which IJreceived the strong support of Sally Duhaime of the Daily Barometer whose writings were of the highest quality. The campaign brought plays and prominent anti-apartheid speakers to campus, as well, so ' these activities will be found in these news clippings. This booklet is a component of "The Oregon Anti-Apartheid Files", a much larger collection of material from the statewide anti-apartheid movement.

  • Promising Practices in Motorcycle Rider Education and Licensing
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Motorcycle rider education provides an opportunity for novice riders to learn the basic skills necessary to operate a motorcycle safely and for experienced riders to refresh and refine their techniques. Although 47 States have State-legislated motorcycle rider education and all States and the District of Columbia require operators to obtain a motorcycle license or endorsement, standards and practices for rider education and licensing vary widely across the country. The purpose of this report is to develop a research-based model of promising practices in rider education and licensing and to use the model to identify States that have implemented high-quality rider training and comprehensive licensing. In addition, drawing on detailed data collected from State motorcycle rider education administrators, instructors, and students, the report describes specific actions that programs in five highlighted promising-practices States (Delaware, Idaho, Maryland, Nevada, and Oregon) have taken that promote the effective training and licensing of motorcycle operators. The promising-practices model and the specific recommendations can serve as a guide for other States interested in improving their rider training and licensing programs. Promising Practices in Rider Education and Licensing The model of promising practices in rider education and licensing was developed on the basis of a review of current research and position papers published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Thirteen practices were identified and organized within three broad areas: program administration, rider education, and licensing. Program administration refers to the structure and organization of a jurisdiction’s rider education and licensing activities. Practices related to rider education concern the details of delivering training efficiently and effectively to motorcycle operators.
