A group of police personnel and community members got together Tuesday at Metro's downtown headquarters to discuss traffic safety.

Metro Sheriff Joe Lombordo encouraged the group to make suggestions.

The group is called The Southern Nevada Traffic Safety Committee.

Nevada Senator Mark Manendo, D-Las Vegas related his plan for legislation to address leaving the scene of an accident.

Metro's DUI's were down21% compared to 2013. There was also a 38% decrease in DUI fatalities.

Community members want officials to focus more on traffic safety for pedestrians.

The coalition wants Metro to focus on community education.

Lt. David Jacoby commented that law enforcement agencies are working with fewer resources.

Metro holds several community education events yearly and teaches traffic safety to schools and businesses on a regular basis.
