GRANT AGREEMENT
Schedule A
1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
GRANT NUMBER
PT24039
The City of Carlsbad has a population of approximately 116,000 and covers approximately 39 square miles.
With approximately 7 miles of coastline, motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists are drawn to the City of
Carlsbad for its miles of oceanfront roadways, hiking trails, sidewalks, and beaches. Approximately half of
th e fatal crashes over 2020, 2021 and 2022 occurred wi thin approximately one mile from the coastline. The
remainder of the fatal crashes occurred throughout Carlsbad. The City of Carlsbad is also a popular
weekend and night destination with a thriving downtown "village" area containing multiple bars and
restaurants, and as such, DUI arrest data correlates to a concentrated number of arrests in this area.
With the City of Carlsbad being so close to the Marine Corp Military base, Officers are constantly faced with
overcrowded bars and restaurants. Evenings and weekends have shown to be a popular destination for all
and with multiple bars, restaurants, and breweries. DUI enforcement has never been so important with the
City of Carlsbad. DUI arrests are up substantially as well as DUI related crashes and incidents.
The City of Carlsbad also faces a continually increasing number of traffic complaints for speeding, stop sign,
red light, loud exhaust, bicycle/pedestrian, and school zone violations.
The City of Carlsbad saw a slight increase in injury crashes from 328 in 2021 and 486 in 2022. The number
of fatal crashes increased from 2021, at 3 fatal crashes, to 4 fatal crashes in 2022. In 2022, the City of
Carlsbad also saw a total of 9 major injury crashes. Unfortunately, these numbers are increasing over the
last year. The City of Carlsbad intends to utilize all enforcement and education efforts to help reduce future
crashes.
Alcohol-involved injury crashes have increased from 38 injury crashes in 2021 to 88 injury crashes in 2022.
Hit & run injury crashes decreased from 21 in 2021 to 11 in 2022. However, the overall number of hit & run
crashes increased over the past year, with 77 in 2021 and 146 in 2022. Nighttime injury crashes have
gradually increased from 37 in 2021 to 93 in 2022. Since the increase in traffic crashes and hit and runs over
the past year, the City of Carlsbad has directed more enforcement efforts to minimize traffic crashes.
Speed remains to be the top primary crash factor for injury crashes (140) and fatal crashes (4) in Carl sbad,
followed by a distant second of DUI (2 fatal, 86 injury), and turning movements/req uired signals (0 fatal, 90
injury) being a close thi rd.
Citing a 233% increase in crashes, including fatalities involving bikes and e-bikes since 2019, the City of
Carlsbad declared a local state of emergency in August of 2022. This action immediately increased attention
and resources on a range of solutions including infrastructure, safety, enforcement, and a focus on safe
driving be havior education. The police department was tasked with enforcement and education of safe
operation of bicycle and e-bikes, resulting in increased enforcement of bicycle and veh icle moving violations.
Since the implementation of the local state of emergency, officers have documented 7708 enforcement
stops. (7313 vehicle, 116 bicycle, 266 e-bike and 9 pedestrian). Currently, the department assigns two
community service officers to manually count and enter each citation in an excel database, which includes
the violation, officer information, and offender violation. Depending on the nu mber of citations/warnings
issued, this generally requires approximately one to two hours a day, and mining this information is a ted ious
task. Additionally, we are one of three agencies in San Diego County currently working with San Diego
courts in developing a digital platform, mirroring Orange County's "digital submission" platform, which only
allows digital tickets to be uploaded.
Utilizing our grant funds to purchase digital printers will immediately resolve many of the issues listed above,
to include more accurate and timely data that can be generated in a matter of minutes versus hours. This
would give the police department accurate information for the best deployment of resources to increase
enforcement and education of vehicle and bicycle violations.
Another example of the police department's efforts in providing e-bike and bicycle education has been a
collaborative effort with the Carlsbad Unified School District to require the perm itting of any students wishing
10/14/2023 7:14:10 PM Page 3 of 20
to park th eir e-bikes on campus . The police department partnered with The League of Smart Cycling and
trained six officers to provide e-bike and bicycle safety courses, certifying students to park their bicycles & e-
bikes on campus. During these classes, it was identified that not all students in attendance had proper
bicycle helmets, therefore, purchasing helm ets for future classes would increase bicycle riders' safety.

POLICY ON BANNING TEXT MESSAGING WHILE DRIVING
In accordance with Executive Order 13513, Federal Leadership On Reducing Text Messaging While Driving, and DOT
Order 3902.10, Text Messaging While Driving, States are encouraged to adopt and enforce workplace safety policies
to decrease crashes caused by distracted driving, including policies to ban text messaging while driving company-
owned or rented vehicles, Government-owned, leased or rented vehicles, or privately-owned vehicles when on official
Government business or when performing any work on or behalf of the Government. States are also encouraged to
conduct workplace safety initiatives in a manner commensurate with the size of the business, such as establishment of
new rules and programs or re-evaluation of existing programs to prohibit text messaging while driving, and education,
awareness, and other outreach to employees about the safety risks associated with texting while driving.
