_ <br /> June 18, 2004 <br /> w~~~Y`~ ~ Dear Safety Advocate, <br /> ~ ~ We hope that you will take a few minutes to review the attached facts <br /> and recommendations to reduce motor vehicle related deaths and <br /> injuries on the Big Island. The data is clear that the rates of motor <br /> ~ vehicle related crashes in Hawaii County are three times higher than <br /> ~ Honolulu and two times higher than Maui and Kauai. <br /> ~ It is equally clear that there are evidence based interventions, which <br /> s ~ $=w. <br /> ~ can help. Significant improvement will require interventions in many <br /> ` t h~"~~<~''~,~; sectors and the rewards in saving lives and reducing injuries could <br /> be great. <br /> We hope you will join us in supporting these recommendations. If <br /> t you would like more data, please let us know. <br /> ~ Sincerely, <br /> U;~. <br /> <br /> r ~a a <br /> ~ . <br /> Sharon H.
