Austin Police may be handing out more speeding tickets · Austin Signal

0:09
We've all seen it, people speeding
0:10
down Mopac or neighborhood streets
0:12
in Austin, and maybe you thought,
0:14
shouldn't they be getting a ticket?
0:16
Well, new data show Austin Police
0:17
may be handing out more of those.
0:20
And Austin's Live Music Fund is
0:22
about to give out another round of
0:23
grants after two years of
0:25
controversy and complaints over how
0:27
those funding decisions are made.
0:29
More about those stories coming up
0:30
on today's show.
0:32
The Austin Signal is a production
0:34
of KUT News, hosted by
0:36
Jennifer Staton.
0:37
And speaking of music, you can't
0:39
pin down the local band, the
0:41
Animeros, to just one genre.
0:43
They span beyond Bolero,
0:45
psychedelic, and cumbia, and their
0:46
music will definitely get you out on
0:48
the dance floor.
0:49
We'll talk with a couple of band
0:50
members from our sister station,
0:52
KUTX's Artist of
0:54
the Month.
0:55
That is up next on Austin Signal.
0:58
Stay with us.
1:08
Hello, this is Austin Signal
1:10
coming to you from KUT News.
1:12
I'm your host for today, Jennifer
1:14
Staton.
1:15
It's the 26th day of February.
1:17
Thank you for making us part of
1:19
your Thursday.
1:22
So tell me if you've ever seen this
1:24
happen. Maybe you're seeing it right
1:25
now if you're listening to us in
1:27
your car, you're driving down Mopac
1:29
or maybe on a street in your
1:30
neighborhood and somebody zooms by
1:32
in their car or truck going pretty
1:34
fast and you think That person
1:36
should be getting a speeding ticket.
1:38
Well, it seems the Austin Police
1:39
Department has bumped up
1:41
its traffic enforcement.
1:43
As KUT's Luz Moreno-Lazano
1:45
reports, new data show APD
1:47
has increased how much it
1:49
stops and tickets back.
1:51
Bad drivers.
1:53
When Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis
1:54
took on the role in 2024,
1:56
she promised changes.
1:58
Among her top priorities was making
2:00
streets safer for everyone.
2:02
For her, that meant getting more
2:03
police back on patrol and increasing
2:05
traffic enforcement.
2:07
Last summer, Davis announced a
2:09
reorganization of the department
2:10
that added dozens of officers back
2:12
to those patrol shifts.
2:13
I think having those people here
2:15
on patrol, the sector commanders are
2:17
again able to think
2:19
of uncommitted time where the
2:20
officers aren't responding to calls
2:22
for service, they're able to do this
2:23
proactive work which includes
2:25
traffic enforcement.
2:26
Traffic enforcement can mean
2:27
speeding, distracted driving,
2:29
running red lights, and driving
2:31
without car insurance.
2:33
Davis says the department can assign
2:34
officers to areas where crashes,
2:36
aggressive driving, or other traffic
2:37
concerns frequently happen like the
2:39
department did in 2024 along
2:41
Ranch Road 2222.
2:44
And she thinks the refocus on
2:45
traffic enforcement is working.
2:47
According to city data, speeding
2:48
tickets issued by APD have increased
2:50
nearly 200% from 2024
2:53
to 2025.
2:54
I think it's important for people to
2:55
understand that speeding kills
2:57
and, you know, when you're speeding
2:59
down these roads, you've got to take
3:01
into consideration the other people
3:03
on the roads and you are going to
3:04
see APD out on these roads.
3:06
APD has also issued more tickets
3:08
in 2025 than in 2024
3:10
for distracted driving,
3:12
expired registration, and driving
3:14
without car insurance.
3:16
But there is some concern that more
3:17
traffic patrols means less of
3:19
something else.
3:20
Rebecca Bernhardt is a longtime
3:22
member of the city's Public Safety
3:23
Commission.
3:24
If the police department has a
3:27
smaller number of officers than
3:28
they'd like to have.
3:30
And there was definitely some,
3:34
how do you say it?
3:35
Robbing Peter to pay Paul going
3:36
on in the sense that, you know,
3:39
investigative units, right?
3:40
Units that investigate family
3:42
violence and sexual
3:44
assault and violent crimes.
3:46
She says moving those people from
3:47
their specialty units to help with
3:49
patrol comes at a cost.
3:51
So yes, it makes a difference and it
3:53
can help.
3:54
There are a lot of other things that
3:55
can make a difference, and can help
3:57
Bernhardt would like to see the city
3:58
reignite its Vision Zero program
4:00
that was adopted in 2015.
4:03
The plan hopes to greatly reduce the
4:05
number of people injured or killed
4:06
in traffic crashes through tools
4:08
like safer street design.
4:09
Those are things like protected bike
4:11
lanes, upgraded pedestrian beacons
4:13
and crosswalks, and adding speed
4:14
bumps and roundabouts to city roads.
4:18
A recent city audit on speed
4:19
reduction efforts showed some
4:20
designs can work, but not on all
4:22
roads.
4:23
Sam Socklow is with the city
4:25
auditor's office.
4:26
Speed cushions are effective at
4:28
lowering speeds, but they're not
4:29
suitable for all road settings such
4:30
as those with higher traffic
4:32
volumes.
4:33
Enforcement is vital in these
4:34
settings, but it has remained
4:35
limited in Austin for the past
4:36
several years, as APD has had
4:38
limited traffic enforcement
4:39
capacity.
4:40
Chief Davis agrees that traffic
4:42
enforcement has lagged as the
4:43
department has struggled with
4:44
staffing.
4:45
But after some restructuring last
4:47
year and the ongoing recruitment
4:48
efforts, she says APD is in
4:50
a better position to tackle traffic
4:52
and other issues.
4:54
One of her goals is reinstating the
4:55
department's motorcycle unit.
4:57
Those officers help with traffic
4:58
enforcement and other traffic
5:00
control tasks like protests.
5:01
Think just having that unit in
5:03
existence, along with the
5:06
auxiliary group of officers
5:08
that are trained and have the
5:09
equipment in the sectors, we'll be
5:11
able to take a look at it from
5:13
not only the individual sectors
5:15
taking note of their
5:17
own problem areas,
5:19
but an overall city-wide view.
5:22
Davis says APD is taking traffic
5:23
enforcement very seriously, so she
5:25
says drivers should continue to
5:27
expect to see Austin police officers
5:28
out and ready to sight.
5:31
I'm Luz Moreno Lozano in Austin.
5:40
Live music is without a doubt
5:41
one of the things that keeps Austin
5:43
Austin but being a musician in this
5:45
city can be a struggle and there are
5:47
some efforts to help with their
5:49
work. The winners of seven
5:51
million dollars in grant funding
5:52
from the City of Austin's
5:54
live music fund will be announced
5:56
in March.
5:57
It'll be the first time money has
5:59
been doled out from the fund in two
6:01
years after an overhaul of
6:03
the way artists and venues are
6:04
graded for selection.
6:06
We're learning more about that
6:08
scoring process thanks to the latest
6:09
story from Andrea Ball.
6:11
She's the growth and development
6:12
reporter for the Austin Current,
6:15
KUT's collaborator on the Austin
6:16
Signal and a partner with KUT
6:18
newsroom in covering Austin.
6:21
Andrea, thanks for coming in
6:23
today.
6:24
Thank you.
6:25
So the city of Austin has long
6:27
funded grants for artists and
6:29
musicians.
6:29
The live music fund itself
6:32
has been around since 2019.
6:33
And remind us.
6:34
Where the money comes from for
6:36
the live music fund.
6:38
Yeah, well, it comes from the
6:40
hotel tax, a hotel occupancy
6:42
tax when somebody comes to visit,
6:45
your parents come over, whatever,
6:47
a portion of that tax comes
6:49
to the city, and they have
6:51
devoted a certain portion of it.
6:53
All right, so the live music fund
6:55
was approved in 2019,
6:57
but okay, think 2019, we all know
6:59
what happened just the next year.
7:01
How did the pandemic affect the
7:03
rollout of this live?
7:05
Music fund.
7:06
Yeah, I mean it just delayed
7:08
everything.
7:09
They were not able to
7:12
fund music in the traditional way
7:14
that they can now and so they were
7:16
using money to do
7:18
grants and emergency funding,
7:20
relief funding, all that stuff for
7:22
people who were, you know, trapped
7:23
in their houses and couldn't do
7:24
their jobs.
7:25
So we fast forward to 2023,
7:28
the pandemic's kind of winding down,
7:30
the funds revving back up,
7:32
but there were complaints about
7:34
the applications and the process
7:36
in 2023.
7:39
What were those complaints?
7:41
So the money has to go
7:43
to some kind of project
7:44
that really elevates tourism
7:47
in the community.
7:49
It's not solely based on that, but
7:50
that's what the money is, it's hotel
7:52
tax.
7:52
And so that first year,
7:56
the city was sort of thinking, okay,
7:59
like projects and events and things
8:01
that people would come to, kind
8:03
of. And individual artists
8:05
who were like, I wanna make art, I
8:07
don't wanna.
8:08
Have a big event or necessarily even
8:10
attend one as a showcased
8:12
artist or whatever.
8:13
And so they felt the application was
8:15
really not geared toward artists
8:17
making art.
8:18
So there's a little bit of attention
8:19
since the money was coming from
8:22
a tourism funded operation.
8:25
The city thought it should go to
8:26
tourism, but musicians thought it
8:27
should go creation of our
8:29
art.
8:30
Right, and it's a balance, you know,
8:32
and I think they've tried to, that
8:34
next year, they tried to open that
8:35
up some, but yeah, I mean,
8:38
you have to use the money in the
8:40
required way.
8:40
All right, so you mentioned the next
8:42
year. So the fund application
8:43
process changed then in
8:45
2024.
8:47
So tell us what was different about
8:48
that year from.
8:50
2023.
8:51
Oh my god, it was wildly different.
8:53
It was different in the way that
8:56
they did open it up more for
8:58
like, okay, you can record albums
9:00
and have studio time,
9:02
stuff like that. And you can use the
9:03
money for that and different types
9:05
of things that they had not really
9:07
emphasized before.
9:09
But at the time,
9:11
they were very focused on equity and
9:13
rooting out, you know,
9:15
historical, historic racism in the
9:17
system.
9:18
And so they wanted to
9:20
give opportunities to people who
9:23
were marginalized and not
9:25
really included in the conversation
9:27
as much.
9:28
So they knew
9:30
that DEI conversations at that
9:32
time were on fire.
9:33
They couldn't talk about race.
9:36
So they designed questions with
9:38
what they thought were related
9:39
issues such as
9:41
poverty.
9:43
Did you have a bank account?
9:43
Have you had a loan?
9:45
Do you have a non-English-Spanish
9:47
speaker or whatever in your home?
9:49
That kind of stuff. And so they did
9:51
that. They're trying to get at some
9:52
of the same issues without asking
9:53
those questions.
9:53
Questions directly.
9:56
A common thing.
9:57
So there were still, though,
9:59
complaints and problems with the
10:00
process in 2024.
10:02
What were the issues that came up
10:04
once those 2024 grants
10:06
were recorded.
10:08
Many.
10:09
First of all, some people
10:12
thought people of color
10:14
were like, you think people of color
10:15
don't have bank accounts?
10:17
Also, these census
10:19
tracts that you're using are
10:20
outdated. There's a lot of big
10:23
homes there now, that kind of thing,
10:24
because the census is always
10:26
behind.
10:28
People felt like
10:30
this was so much more
10:33
about their
10:35
individual wealth or not
10:37
individual wealth.
10:38
That's really what they were talking
10:40
about. They weren't like I don't
10:41
want this marginalized community.
10:43
They really were just like I'm sorry
10:44
I have health insurance.
10:46
Am I supposed to be punished for
10:46
that?
10:47
So Andrea, let's talk a little
10:48
bit about how these applications
10:50
were reviewed and scored.
10:52
Was there a panel?
10:53
Who was looking over the
10:54
applications and deciding who was
10:56
getting the money?
10:57
Yeah, Jennifer, this is so
10:58
interesting because the
11:01
arts community also gets hotel tax.
11:03
Like, so we're talking about like
11:04
dancers and filmmakers and stuff,
11:06
and they get hotel tax money.
11:08
But that traditionally is done
11:10
through applications, but panels,
11:12
human people like out there talking
11:14
about, do we wanna fund this
11:16
type of thing? What is our priority,
11:17
that sort of thing.
11:19
Because the live music fund
11:21
was really
11:23
getting moving after the
11:25
intensity of the pandemic.
11:27
They had been using, they, the city
11:29
had been using automation
11:31
to go through these relief funds and
11:33
make it fast, you know, faster
11:35
than just human reviews.
11:38
So when they started the
11:41
actual grant process in 2023,
11:44
they used automation.
11:46
And so this is the only
11:48
fund that does that in
11:51
that group.
11:52
So no humans reviewing the
11:53
applications. It was all automation.
11:55
What does that even mean?
11:56
So you fill out- Like scanning.
11:57
Yes, I mean, it's something called
11:58
Submittable.
11:59
Like it's an online thingy.
12:01
And so, but there is human
12:03
review and this is how that
12:05
works. So you put your application,
12:07
you hit your button and it goes to
12:09
Submittal.
12:10
Submittaable grades it based on
12:12
the way you answer the questions.
12:14
So if you answered a question
12:16
which would get you extra points
12:18
saying, I have
12:20
used ASL
12:22
interpreters at my
12:24
event, you'd get extra points for
12:26
that. But you have to give
12:27
documentation showing that happened,
12:29
which could be like a video,
12:31
you know, any kind of program, that
12:33
kind of thing.
12:34
And so the reviewers basically
12:36
had to go and look to see if
12:38
the evidence was there.
12:40
And a lot of people did
12:42
not necessarily keep
12:43
those records or attach
12:45
them or whatever.
12:47
So the humans have to go in
12:49
and subtract points that
12:51
Submittable already gave them.
12:53
So it's
12:55
really saying, okay, you said this,
12:58
did you show me this?
12:59
And then if there was a confusion
13:00
about it, they'd get a second person
13:02
in and try to
13:05
determine if that counted.
13:06
Andrea, the city is just about to
13:08
announce the next round of funding
13:10
winners. They're going to announce
13:11
it in March.
13:12
How was the grading process changed
13:14
for 2025 applications based
13:16
on everything that you've just been
13:18
describing for?
13:19
And now it's totally different.
13:21
They heard from people,
13:23
you know, they paused the grants in
13:24
2025 because
13:26
a new department was created
13:28
to have all the arts under them
13:30
instead of all these different departments.
13:31
And they took that year to
13:33
say, all right, we got a new
13:35
vision, the city manager
13:37
wants us to have a strategic view,
13:39
we're going to stop everything.
13:41
We're going have town halls and
13:42
we're gonna talk to people and all
13:43
that stuff. And they heard
13:45
what I was just telling you.
13:47
About feeling left out
13:48
and punished for not being more
13:51
economically disadvantaged.
13:53
So this year, they still have some
13:55
elements of,
13:56
do you have some accessibility
13:59
features in your work?
14:00
A lot of it, I think half of it is
14:02
based on career accomplishments.
14:06
There are still the same types of
14:07
things like, hey, what's your
14:08
tourism marketing thing look like,
14:10
whatever. But really it
14:12
and they have smaller grants
14:14
available to And I
14:16
believe they have a grant that,
14:18
or at least some consideration for
14:20
emerging artists.
14:21
So you're not like, oh, this person
14:23
is brand new compared to someone
14:24
who's been here 40 years.
14:26
Do I have to compare them?
14:27
And how do you do that?
14:29
We've been chatting with Andrea
14:31
Ball, she's the growth and
14:32
development reporter for the Austin
14:34
Current, KUT's collaborator
14:36
on the Austin Signal, and a partner
14:37
with KUT Newsroom and covering
14:39
Austin. Andrea, thank you so much
14:41
for coming in and talking about the
14:43
Live Music Fund.
14:44
Always a pleasure.
14:46
And coming up, some music that'll
14:48
get you moving.
14:49
We'll hear from KUTX's artist
14:51
of the month, the Animeros,
14:53
just ahead on Austin Signal.
14:54
Stay tuned.
15:00
This is the Austin Signal, welcome
15:02
back.
15:03
We've almost finished with the
15:05
second month of 2026, but we've
15:07
still got some time left to
15:08
highlight February's KUTX
15:10
Artist of the Month.
15:12
This month, our sister station,
15:14
KUTx, is highlighting the
15:15
Animeros, who are looking to
15:17
transition you from your nice comfy
15:19
seat onto the dance floor
15:21
with their mix of bolero, cumbia,
15:23
and salsa.
15:24
Joining us today are a couple of
15:26
members from the band percussionist
15:27
Nick Tazo and bassist Nicola
15:29
Sanchez.
15:30
Thanks for talking with us on Austin
15:32
Signal.
15:33
Thanks for having us.
15:34
Yeah.
15:35
Your band now is made up of some
15:37
members who are in other Austin
15:39
bands, so tell us about yourselves
15:41
and why did you wanna form this
15:43
new band?
15:45
Well, most of us have been
15:47
on the Latin music
15:49
scene and just the Austin music
15:51
scene in general for the last, you
15:52
know, 10, 15 years.
15:54
And a big part of what we wanted to
15:56
do with this band was just kind of
15:57
put together a smaller unit
15:59
that would be kind of
16:01
easier to get together.
16:02
Sometimes when you have a large
16:04
group, eight, nine, 10 guys, it can
16:06
be a little tricky to get the
16:08
ball rolling.
16:09
So the idea was let's get a little
16:11
smaller unit together in it.
16:13
Has kind of taken off
16:15
in ways we never expected.
16:18
So Austin has a
16:19
vibrant Latin music scene
16:21
that seems to foster a lot of fusion
16:23
with other genres and breed new
16:25
projects like the Anamero.
16:27
So I'm curious, what do you think
16:29
it is about Austin's music
16:31
scene that makes collaborations
16:33
like this possible?
16:35
Austin has, in my opinion,
16:38
the greatest original music
16:40
scene of any city.
16:43
Everybody is out there writing new
16:44
music, putting their stamp on
16:46
it, trying to do something new
16:49
and fresh, and in
16:51
the Latin genre specifically,
16:54
we have just such a wide
16:56
variety of different Latin
16:58
acts and everybody,
17:00
different influences, whether it's
17:01
like you know, Mexican music
17:03
or Colombian or Brazilian, there's
17:04
just so much. And then as the
17:06
group of musicians all commingle
17:09
and get together,
17:11
those new and interesting
17:13
sounds or similar influences start
17:15
to pop up and it's just, it's a
17:16
really, really fun place
17:18
to be.
17:30
All right, so I don't, we're all
17:32
sitting together in a room, don't
17:33
wanna make it awkward, but tell me,
17:35
what do you like most about working
17:37
with this specific group of
17:39
musicians in the animatos?
17:41
Personally, I just really love that
17:43
we can get things going very
17:45
quickly.
17:46
Um, last summer,
17:49
or actually the summer before last
17:50
20, uh, 24, we were in
17:52
the studio with, uh our,
17:55
uh good friend, Dan Auerbach of the
17:56
black keys and
17:58
we were in there and we
18:00
had maybe about seven or eight songs
18:02
prepared, but the
18:04
rest of them, we, we just kind of
18:06
wrote on the spot and kind of
18:07
Spitfire back and forth, so
18:09
we came out with 20 tunes from that
18:11
session.
18:12
So yeah, I think that's that
18:13
personally, that's probably my
18:14
favorite part is that we can just
18:15
get, get things going very quickly
18:17
and kind of bounce ideas off of each
18:19
other.
18:20
Yeah, the three of us that are the
18:22
core of the band, we speak the
18:24
same language and we all bring
18:25
really different kind of skillsets
18:27
to it.
18:28
And it's great because we do,
18:30
I think we've done a really great
18:31
job of one person bringing
18:34
something, bringing an idea or
18:36
a pattern or a groove, and then the
18:37
other two guys instantly know how to
18:39
apply their stamp
18:41
to it and it becomes something
18:43
very quickly.
18:45
So it's sounding like that when
18:46
you're studio together, it's
18:48
a pretty intense experience.
18:49
When you're practicing, you're
18:51
rehearsing, you're creating new
18:53
music, like all of this is going on
18:54
at the same time.
18:55
Kind of on a more personal level,
18:57
what have you learned about each
18:58
other, like when you were in that
19:00
setting?
19:02
Well, I've learned that I can trust
19:03
all these guys deeply,
19:06
you know, sometimes you
19:08
get into a studio scenario and it
19:10
takes a long time to get through it.
19:12
Maybe people get flustered or
19:14
whatever, but I know these
19:16
guys can keep their heads cool and
19:18
we can just plow through, even if
19:20
situations arise like, okay, maybe
19:21
that isn't how we envisioned
19:23
it. Let's, let's pivot and
19:26
just knowing that these guys
19:28
have my back and I've
19:30
got theirs is a real important
19:32
thing.
19:46
So the Animenos debut album is
19:48
set to be released later this year.
19:49
Tell us a little bit about it and
19:51
what we can expect to hear.
19:53
Well, as Niko mentioned earlier,
19:55
it's produced by Dan Auerbach
19:57
of The Black Keys on
19:59
his record label, E.T.I.
20:01
Sound.
20:03
Very, very lucky.
20:05
He heard us from a sidewalk.
20:07
We were playing a rooftop gig and he
20:09
heard us down on the sidewalk and...
20:11
So literally he was just walking by
20:12
and he heard you guys like from
20:13
above.
20:14
Yes.
20:15
And I joke frequently that it's very
20:16
good he couldn't see us, because
20:18
that might have
20:20
not inspired him to sign us.
20:23
However, we've put out
20:25
four singles from that
20:27
record so far, and with two more to
20:29
come, at least two more come, and
20:31
then it's gonna be a compilation of
20:32
the 10 or 11
20:34
or 12, maybe, best songs
20:36
from that session we did a
20:38
year and a half ago.
20:40
How do you pick the songs?
20:41
Like do you fall in love with all
20:43
the songs or do you sort of, can you
20:45
keep them at a distance and say,
20:46
yeah, that one's good.
20:46
No, maybe not that one.
20:48
How do do you, how do you?
20:50
I think they're all very
20:52
different in their own
20:53
ways, so we're happy
20:55
with any of them being included,
20:57
really. There's some obvious
20:59
standouts.
21:01
When we started the group, it was
21:03
very much instrumental, and
21:05
we've been trying to add more vocal
21:06
stuff to the mix, so I feel like
21:08
the vocal stuff is obviously
21:10
in the hat.
21:25
But the other ones, there's
21:27
one that I don't know if I
21:29
can even say the name of it yet, but
21:31
I hope it makes the record because
21:32
it's very cinematic and I feel like
21:35
we'll be getting calls from
21:37
Tarantino or whoever else to
21:39
score their films.
21:41
You heard it here first.
21:44
Film fame awaits.
21:46
So you guys are performing later on
21:47
in studio when a, and
21:49
you have a residency this month.
21:50
You've had one at Seaboy.
21:52
So can people still catch y'all
21:53
there? Is that still going on?
21:55
I know the month's almost over.
21:56
Absolutely.
21:57
This Thursday,
21:58
the 26th, is our final
22:01
residency evening at Sea Boys.
22:03
It's been a fantastic month at
22:05
personally my favorite club in town,
22:07
and every week has gotten just
22:08
bigger and better, and we have a lot
22:09
of special guests coming out on
22:11
Thursday, including my good
22:13
friend Otis Wilkins of
22:16
Otis the Destroyer and
22:18
the Otis-Wilkins Project, as well as
22:20
our friend Jaime Ospina of
22:21
Superfonicos.
22:23
And Wyatt Quarter of Big Wise Brass
22:25
Band. So lots of guests coming out
22:27
to hit the stage with us.
22:29
We're gonna play some surprising
22:30
covers people might not expect.
22:32
We're going to have a really fun
22:33
time with this last one.
22:34
Well, that sounds like an awesome
22:35
show. So beyond Thursday, tell us
22:37
about some other places where people
22:38
can catch y'all in the next few
22:39
weeks.
22:40
Uh, we're doing Antones on
22:43
March 7,
22:45
so that, that'll be, uh, the next
22:47
kind of big one before South
22:49
By, and then, you know, South By
22:50
will be playing all over town,
22:52
so.
22:53
Yeah, South By is going to be very
22:54
busy for us.
22:55
Lots of opportunities to see us.
22:56
And you'll be able to find all of
22:57
those at theanimettos.com.
