The Road Scholar map of collision incidents and school related problems will help to further Make Queens Safer's connection with community by building an engagement model around a tool that will help users locate dangerous intersections in their school environment. The community will now be a part of the data collection and reporting by using the map to chart out routes to school and access information and resources from their precincts (better enforcement) and even the department of transportation, where users will be able to start campaigns based on the knowledge gathered from this map. A user will be able to say definitively that 1,300 kids attend a school where 8 collisions happened in a half mile radius in just one month. As it stands, collision data on the map is for one month.

The testing methods involve getting into the affected communities in a hands on way. I will visit and do presentations: At Community Board meetings At Precinct Council meetings At school Parent Teacher Association mee
