Subject Adoption of a Resolution accepting the State of California Office of Traffic
Safety (OTS)Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP)grant and
appropriating $100,000 in grant funds.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept the FY2016-2017 State of California
Office of Traffic Safety (OTS)Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP)grant funds,and
authorizing the Administrative Services Director to appropriate the funds for the program
expenses.
Executive Summary
The Office of Traffic Safety distributes federal funding apportioned to California under the
National Highway Safety Act and the Safe, Accountable and Flexible Efficiency Transportation
Equity Act. Grants are used to mitigate traffic safety deficiencies, expand ongoing activity, or
develop new programs. Grant funding cannot replace existing program expenditures, nor can
traffic safety funds be used for program maintenance, research, rehabilitation or construction.
The California Office of Traffic Safety's mission is to effectively and efficiently administer traffic
safety grant funds to reduce traffic deaths, injuries, and economic losses as well as easing traffic
congestion. The grant funding decisions by OTS is facilitated by several criteria which translate
into rankings: victim and collision rankings,DUI arrest rankings, DUI collisions, bicycle safety and
pedestrian safety.In addition, these rankings help identify emerging traffic safety problem areas.
The rankings allow cities to compare themselves to other cities with similar-sized populations
and help them identify their disproportionate traffic safety problem(s).
The City of Carlsbad Police Department's 2016 award is $100,000.Best practice strategies will
be conducted to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in traffic collisions involving
impairment and other primary collision factors.
The Police Department will use the grant to fund:
•Personnel Costs for DUI checkpoint, DUI saturation patrols and targeted enforcement.
•DUI checkpoint equipment to include traffic cones and pop-up tents.
•Enforcement equipment to include electric flares, speed feedback signs and new radars.
Discussion
The Carlsbad Police Department does not receive funding from any other sources to conduct
the types of enforcement specified in this grant application.Carlsbad Police Department has
received grant funding from OTS in past years, specifically to conduct DUI checkpoints.In FY11,
the department received $14,133 in reimbursements.Since then, Carlsbad Police Department
has not receive any funding from OTS.The grant funds have helped improve safety and quality
of life in the City of Carlsbad.
Fiscal Analysis
The total cost of listed expenditures is $100,000, which is fully reimbursable by the Office of
Traffic Safety grant award. There are no ongoing expenses associated with the purchases.
Next Steps
If the City Council adopts the Resolution, the California Office of Traffic Safety will fully
reimburse up to $100,000 of the aforementioned costs to the City of Carlsbad.
Environmental Evaluation ICEQAI
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical change
in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment,
and therefore does not require environmental review.
Public Notification
None required.

1.PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Carlsbad Police Department's highest ranked collision factors for 2014 included speeding,
improper turns, and alcohol related crashes. These top three collision factors were responsible for four of our
seven fatalities.Another collision factor to note is two pedestrian related fatal crashes. One of these
pedestrian fatalities was the result of a distracted driver, who drove up onto the sidewalk and killed a runner.
Carlsbad has experienced a significant increase in fatalities with seven in 2014, up from just one in 2013 and
two in 2012.Carlsbad's population is growing, and the city is also a popular tourist destination.
Additionally, Carlsbad has a growing daytime population with many new businesses opening in the city.In
the 2015 resident survey conducted by the City of Carlsbad, managing traffic congestion was ranked as
extremely important by 96 percent of those surveyed.
The Carlsbad Police Department seeks to address three specific traffic safety areas in this grant request —
distracted driving, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and driving under the influence.Each ofthese traffic safety
issues resulted in traffic fatalities in Carlsbad in 2014.

OTS-136a Grant Application-Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) (Rev.11/15)
SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM (STEP)
GRANTS MADE EASY (GME)GRANT APPLICATION
Federal Fiscal Year 2017
(10/1/16-9/30/17)
APPLICATION TITLE:SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM (STEP)
AGENCY:CITY OF CARLSBAD
DEPARTMENT: POLICE DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION SUMMARY
Best practice strategies will be conducted to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in crashes
involving alcohol and other primary collision factors. The funded strategies may include impaired
driving enforcement, enforcement operations focusing on primary collision factors, distracted driving,
night-time seat belt enforcement, special enforcement operations encouraging motorcycle safety,
enforcement and public awareness in areas with a high number of bicycle and pedestrian collisions,
and educational programs. These strategies are designed to earn media attention thus enhancing the
overall deterrent effect.
1.PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Carlsbad Police Department's highest ranked collision factors for 2014 included
speeding, improper turns, and alcohol related. These top three collision factors were responsible for
four of our seven fatalities.A fourth collision factor is important to note, because another two fatal
traffic collisions were pedestrian related. One of these pedestrian fatalities was the result of a
distracted driver, who drove up onto the sidewalk and killed a runner.
Carlsbad has experienced a significant increase in fatalities with seven in 2014, up from just one in
2013 and two in 2012.Carlsbad's population is growing, and the city is also a popular tourist
destination.Additionally, Carlsbad has a growing daytime population with many new businesses
opening in the city. In the 2015 resident survey conducted by the City of Carlsbad, managing traffic
congestion was ranked as extremely important by 96 percent ofthose surveyed.
The Carlsbad Police Department seeks to address three specific traffic safety areas in this grant
request —distracted driving, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and driving under the influence.Each of
these traffic safety issues resulted in traffic fatalities in Carlsbad in 2014.
First, the department seeks funding to participate in the April National Distracted Driving
Awareness Month.Second, the department requests funding to conduct pedestrian and bicycle
enforcement operations, specifically along the coast highway where the combined road use by
pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles has proven deadly.Finally, the department requests funds to
conduct DUI saturation patrols on three holiday weekends during the summer, when the tourist
population is at its peak and the department sees the most DUI activity.

2.PROPOSED SOLUTION
A.Strategies:
The City of Carlsbad Police Department will address distracted driving by conducting highly
publicized Distracted Driving enforcement operation(s) targeting drivers using hand held cell
phones and texting, during the month of April.The department will collect and report data for
the National Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April.During April, the department will
choose one week to conduct distracted driving enforcement during daytime hours, Monday
through Friday.Prior to that week, the department will conduct educational presentations to
educate the community of the hazards of distracted driving.This campaign will include police
Explorers and volunteers, handing out educational materials in high traffic areas of the
community, such as schools and shopping areas.
The department will conduct highly publicized pedestrian and bicycle enforcement operation(s)
in areas or during events with a high number of pedestrian and/or bicycle collisions resulting
from violations made by pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers.Steps have been taken along the
coast highway to improve safety, including flashing pedestrian signals and restriping of the bike
lanes, yet injury and fatal collisions continue to occur. To address these issues, the department
will conduct directed enforcement along the coast highway, on one weekend day per month,
throughout the summer months (May —September).Enforcement will focus on speeding,
yielding to pedestrians, and proper use of the roadway by cyclists.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA •OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY
OTS-136a Grant Application-Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) (Rev.11/15)
Driving under the influence is an ongoing traffic safety concern in Carlsbad.Holiday weekends,
in particular, draw large crowds to Carlsbad beaches and recreational areas, resulting in
increased DUI activity and collisions.Carlsbad Police Department will conduct three DUI
saturation patrol operation(s), on each of three holiday weekends: Memorial Day, Independence
Day, and Labor Day.
B.Agency Qualifications:
Carlsbad Police Department has seven motor officers, one motor sergeant, and two accident
investigators.Their training and primary responsibilities are focused on traffic safety and
enforcement in the City of Carlsbad.The department also has police Explorers and volunteers
who, under the supervision of officers, conduct community outreach and education on a regular
basis.
The department also has a management analyst, who has extensive experience in grant
application and management.The management analyst will work with the traffic division to
track time and expenses associated with grant funded activities to ensure accurate reporting and
to receive proper reimbursement.
C.Program Sustainability:
The Carlsbad Police Department does not receive funding from any other sources to conduct the
types of enforcement specified in this grant application.Carlsbad Police Department has
received grant funding from OTS in past years, specifically to conduct DUI checkpoints.In
FY11, the department received $14,133 in reimbursements.Since then, Carlsbad Police
