in the "after" period.

enforcement using red light running cameras at the intersections of N Road 68 & Burden
Boulevard and W Court Street & N 20th Avenue.

enforcement vendor's database:
• Red -light -running data collected by the vendor in advance of the automated enforcement

event recorded but not ticketed (starting in May 2019) and citations issued from August
19, 2019 through the most recent available data (assume approximately February 2022).
Data should be broken down by each intersection, direction of travel, vehicle information
(make, model), and time of day / day of week.
Reported traffic collisions from the City of Pasco's internal database at (or related to) the
two intersections, including 5 years of prior -to -installation collisions (2014-2018) and all
collisions from 2019 — February 2022 (or the most recent available).
Consultant will prepare and review the data provided to conduct before -and -after analyses of
the following:'
• Intersection collisions
o By type (e.g., angle, rear -end)
o By location (e.g., each intersection, approaches within each intersection)
o By time of day / day of week
• Traffic volumes by turning movement
Red -light -running violations
o By location (e.g., each intersection, approaches within each intersection)
