A closer look at SB1-funded research from UC Berkeley SafeTREC Director Julia Griswold: This project builds on San Francisco’s rollout of California’s first speed safety camera pilot under AB 645, examining how camera placement affects driver behavior, safety outcomes, and equity across neighborhoods. By integrating telematics, traffic data, and citation records, the research provides deeper insight into both the effectiveness and fairness of automated speed enforcement in high-crash areas.

California has a new law: Starting July 1, every driverless vehicle (autonomous vehicle) must include a two-way communication device so law enforcement and first responders can speak directly with the vehicle if needed. To make this work, cities may and will need: Fiber-backed wireless coverage and small-cell nodes, roadside fiber and sensor hubs and Partners who can deliver secure, public-safety-grade connectivity Driverless cars have been with us buy California just made reliable telecom part of the law. #OSP #OSPcom #SmartCities #FiberOpticInfrastructure #PublicSafetyComms #California

Most federally funded broadband projects ultimately move forward under a Categorical Exclusion. But CATEX decisions are based on project-specific documentation, not assumptions. Even in existing rights-of-way, agencies evaluate ground disturbance, proximity to historic properties, sensitive habitats, and federal land use Streamlined reviews still require clarity.

In July, the California Spatial Reference Center (CSRC) modernized the California Spatial Reference Network (CSRN). While this directly impacts California's geospatial users, the update serves as an important preview of the nationwide modernization coming in 2026. Read the full column: https://heyor.ca/S2Dbym

After 25 years working California infrastructure — from wireless towers to land development to statewide fiber — We built MET3 around one simple idea: the permitting and coordination work that stalls broadband projects in California is solvable, if you know the right people and the right process. We know both. MET3 is now active on LinkedIn. We are currently supporting the California Middle-Mile Broadband Network and looking to connect with prime contractors and program teams working on BEAD, FFA, CASF, and Middle Mile projects across the state. If you are managing a California broadband project and hitting walls on Caltrans permits, utility coordination, railroad crossings, or site acquisition — that is exactly what we do. Happy to connect. #CaliforniaBroadband #MiddleMile #BEAD #Infrastructure #BroadbandPermitting #Caltrans #SmallBusiness
