equipment costs associated with the 2013 OTS STEP grant ($75,000) and OTS
Sobriety Checkpoint Grant Program ($85,000).
f�;T�3:C�T:TiI�I►�i
The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration distributes federal funding
to California through the Business, Transportation, and Housing Agency and the Office
of Traffic Safety. Grants are used to mitigate traffic safety program deficiencies, expand
on-going programs, or to develop a new program. Grant funding cannot replace
existing program expenditures, nor can traffic safety funds be used for program
maintenance, research, rehabilitation, or construction. The Police Department has
applied for several of these grants in the past and has received funds that have
significantly assisted the objectives of the Traffic Safety Bureau and improved traffic
safety in the City of Costa Mesa.
ANALYSIS:
Since 2005, the Office of Traffic Safety has awarded the Police Department six
significant DUI related grants. The funds associated with these grants have been used
to purchase specialized equipment and to pay the cost of personnel working strategic
operations.
As a result of grant funded operations, the Police Department has successfully reduced
key collision related data points. For example, since 2005, the total number of injury
traffic collisions was reduced 23%, from 668 in 2005 to 516 in 2011. The number of
injuries related to these traffic collisions declined by 22%, equating to 203 fewer people
suffering injuries in 2011. The number of DUI injury collisions was reduced 0%, from 63
in 2005 to 63 in 2011.
Each year, the Office of Traffic Safety assembles collision data rankings based on city
population numbers. Costa Mesa is a member of Group B (population 100,001 to
250,000) with 53 other cities. According to the 2010 rankings, Costa Mesa had low
marks in fatal and injury, pedestrian, alcohol, speed, and bicycle related collisions. The
City ranked second lowest (worst) in Group B for over-all traffic safety (based on
ranking by average population), based upon 2010 data despite showing more DUI
arrests than the state average and leading our grouping in total DUI arrests.
Along with injury collisions, impaired driving enforcement has always been a top priority
for the Police Department. Since 1986, the Department has staffed a full-time impaired
driving enforcement team consisting of two officers. As a supplement to the impaired
driving enforcement team, the Department regularly conducts Sobriety/Driver's License
checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols funded by OTS grants. The checkpoints are
educational, highly visible, and provide a deterrent against impaired driving.
Police Department staff submitted applications and have received tentative approval for
both 2013 grants offered through the California Office of Traffic Safety. The grants will
allow the Police Department to implement the Selective Traffic. Enforcement Program
(STEP) and the Sobriety Checkpoint Grant Program. Collectively, these programs will
provide a comprehensive approach to reducing violations which commonly lead to
collisions, while maintaining a focus on impaired and suspended/unlicensed drivers.
Grant funds will be used to staff Sobriety/Driver License checkpoints and to staff
targeted enforcement operations. In addition, funds will be used to support additional
law enforcement training related to traffic investigation and enforcement activities. The
implementation of this training, along with both the STEP and Sobriety Checkpoint
Grant Program, will help achieve the overarching goal of reducing injury collisions,
saving lives and reducing liability.
The Police Department's current grant expires on September 30, 2012. Both above
listed grants will enable the Police Department to build upon successes achieved to
date, while providing new objectives for increasing traffic safety throughout the City.
The funding will allow the Police Department to combat impaired driving, and enforce
traffic laws aimed at saving lives. Objectives for both OTS grants include DUI saturation
patrols; traffic enforcement operations targeting red light, excessive speed, and
distracted driving violations; motorcycle safety enforcement; enforcement at high
collision intersections; and Sobriety/Driver License checkpoints.
2
Some specific project objectives from both grant agreements include:
■ To conduct fifteen (10) DUI/DL checkpoints by September 30, 2013.
■ To conduct fifteen (15) DUI saturation patrols by September 30, 2013.
■ To conduct ten (10) special traffic enforcement operations targeting red light,
excessive speed and other violations at or near intersections with a
disproportionate number of traffic collisions by September 30, 2013.
■ To conduct four (4) special enforcement operations targeting distracted driving
violations by September 30, 2013.
■ To conduct two (2) highly publicized special motorcycle safety enforcement
operations in an area or during an event with a high number of motorcycle
incidents or collisions resulting from unsafe speed, DUI, following too closely,
unsafe lane changes, improper turning and other primary collision factor
violations by motorcyclists and other drivers by September 30, 2013.
To receive the grant funds, the Office of Traffic Safety requires the City Council adopt a
Resolution agreeing to support the grant goals in their entirety. Office of Traffic Safety
grant funding is based on the federal fiscal year, which begins on October 1 and ends
on September 30. The grant agreement provides total funds in the amount of $160,000
which will be utilized over a 12 -month period of time, from October 1, 2012 through
September 30, 2013.
None
FISCAL REVIEW:
The attached budget adjustment # 13-006 increases revenue and appropriates the total
expected grant funds of $160,000 to the Police Department's budget for overtime,
professional development and other direct costs. The grant period is from October 1,
2012 to September 30, 2013.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the Grant Agreement and associated documents
and has approved it as to form and content.
CONCLUSION:
Based upon an analysis of the Grant Agreement and the available benefits to the City
offered by the award of the grant, Department staff supports the approval of the above
listed recommendation.

5. GRANT DESCRIPTION
Time tested and best practice strategies will be used on an overtime basis to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in crashes involving
alcohol, speed, red light running, and other primary collision factors. The funded strategies may include: DUI saturation patrols to apprehend
impaired drivers; warrant service operations targeting repeat DUI violators who failed to appear in court or violate probation; stakeout operations for
repeat DUI offenders; and the use of'HOT Sheets' to help law enforcement identify and apprehend the'worst of the worst` DUI offenders. Court sting
operations may also be used to arrest offenders who drive from court after having their license suspended or revoked. Law enforcement personnel
will receive specialized training to detect and apprehend drivers under the influence of drugs (legal and illegal). Also, special patrols will be used to
enforce CA's hand held and texting while driving Iaws. The program may also concentrate on speed, aggressive driving, seat belt enforcement,
intersection operations with disproportionate numbers of traffic crashes and special enforcement operations encouraging motorcycle safety. The grant
funded strategies are designed to earn media attention, thus enhancing the overall deterrent effect.

GRANT DESCRIPTION
PROBLEM STATEMENT
In 2010, California's traffic fatalities decreased 11.9 percent (3,081 vs. 2,715) —reaching their lowest level
since the federal government began recording traffic fatalities in 1975. California 2009 Mileage Death Rate
(MDR) — fatalities per 100 million miles traveled is 0.95, and marks the first time California has been below
1.0. California is much better than the national 1.14 MDR. Although the fatality rates have dropped for four
consecutive years (2007-2010), total fatalities are projected to be up 3.5% in 2011.
Alcohol -impaired driving fatalities (fatalities in crashes involving a driver or motorcycle rider (operator) with a
blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or greater) dropped by 14.4 percent from
924 in 2009 to 791 in 2010. The 2010 figure is the lowest DUI death total ever. As a percent of total fatalities,
11cohol-impaired fatalities decreased from 30 percent in 2009 to 29 percent in 2010. Unfortunately, this number
rias remained virtually unchanged in the past five years and DUI arrests have dropped in 2010 to 195,879 as
compared to 208,531 in 2009. The 2010 DUI arrest figure represents more DUI arrests than any year between
1997-2005.
For the second year in row, OTS commissioned an observational survey of cell phone use by drivers within the
state, looking for hand-held and hands-free talking as well as texting and other use of mobile devices while
driving. The overall rate was 10.8 percent of drivers on the road using cell phones at any given daylight time, up
from 7.3 percent in 2012. Although observed cell phone use increases were seen across all age groups, 16 to 25
year olds showed a dramatic rise, doubling from 9 percent to 18 percent.
The problem of drugged driving continues to rise. Based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, 30 percent of all drivers who were killed in motor vehicle crashes in California in 2010 tested
positive for legal and/or illegal drugs, a percentage that has been increasing since 2006.
Motorcycle fatalities decreased 10.7 percent from 394 in 2009 to 352 in 2010, but projections indicated over
400 motorcyclists were killed in 201 L

OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY ® 2010 RANKINGS
The OTS Rankings provide individual cities a way to compare their city's traffic safety statistics to those of other cities
with similar -sized populations. Cities can use these comparisons to see what traffic safety areas they may have problems
in and which they were doing well in. Identifying emerging or on-going traffic safety problem areas help cities plan how
to combat the problems. It should be noted that OTS rankings are only indicators of potential problems; there are many
factors that may either understate or overstate a city/county ranking that must be evaluated based on local circumstances.
The OTS Rankings are determined by the following: (1) Victim and collision data for the rankings is taken from the latest
available California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) data; (2) Victim and
collision rankings are based on rates of victims killed and injured or fatal and injury collisions per "1,000 daily -vehicle -
miles -of -travel" (Caltrans data) and per "1,000 average population" (Department of Finance data) figures. This more
accurately ensures proper weighting and comparisons when populations and daily vehicle miles traveled vary; (3) DUI
arrest totals and rankings are calculated for cities only and are based on rates of non -CHP DUI arrests (Department of
Justice data). This is so that local jurisdictions can see how their own efforts are working; and (4) Counties are assigned
statewide rankings, while cities are assigned population group rankings.
NOTE: City rankings are for incorporated cities only. County Rankings include all roads — state, county and local — and
all jurisdictions — CHP, Sheriff, Police and special. OTS Rankings are calculated so that the higher the number of victims
or collisions per 1000 residents in a population group, the higher the ranking. Number I in the rankings is the highest, or
worst." So, for Group B, a ranking of 1/53 is the highest or worst, 27/53 is average, and 53/53 is the lowest or best. The
same methodology also applies for DUI arrest rankings.
