DATE: October 17, 2012 CONSENT AGENDA
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF $70,000 IN GRANT FUNDING FROM THE
CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY (OTS) FOR A SELECTIVE
TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM TO BE USED TO ENFORCE,
EDUCATE, AND BRING AWARENESS TO THE PUBLIC.
FROM: David Ready, City Manager
BY: Palm Springs Police Department
SUMMARY
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to accept $70,000
in OTS grant funding for the Police Department to utilize for a Selective Traffic
Enforcement Program. The grant funds will be used to conduct DUI saturation patrols,
distracted driving saturation patrols, warrant sweeps, and multimedia presentations at
our local schools. It will also provide for traffic enforcement to concentrate on primary
collision factor violations.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Accept $70,000 in grant funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety for a
Selective Traffic Enforcement Program.
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Police Department rigorously enforces DUI laws by conducting DUI saturation
patrols, warrant sweeps, and developing awareness programs such as multimedia
presentations at our local schools. The Police Department also enforces speed and red
light violations by conducting operations at intersections and streets with
disproportionate numbers of traffic collisions. These projects are labor intensive and
thus expensive. The Police Department plans to conduct 97 special operations during

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,
alcohol-impaired fatalities decreased from 30 percent in 2009 to 29 percent in 2010. Unfortunately,this number
has 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 2011.

GRANT DESCRIPTION
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 1 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.
