PROBLEM STATEMENT: II. CITY OF ALLEN SUBGRANTEE Results of special statewide demonstration STEPs conducted in Texas over the past five years affirm that coordinated waves of enforcement, surveys, and public information and education are feasible, manageable, and highly effective in reducing traffic -related fatalities, injuries, and costs. Reports from these demonstration STEPS show significant increases in safety belt use rates, high-level law enforcement participation, and extensive publicity generated from both state and community program activity. Seasonal problems are evident in traffic with alcohol, safety belts and/or speeding. These trends can be addressed by focusing on the key issue(s) of safety during peak times such as speed and seat belt enforcement during the summer holidays. One of the best defenses against a drunk or speeding driver is a properly worn safety belt. According to the National Safety Council, people who wear safety belts have a 45 % better chance of surviving a serious traffic crash and a 50% better chance of surviving without severe injuries. The State of Texas has had a Mandatory Use Law (MUL) for safety belts since 1985. Since that time, Texas has seen safety belt use rise to among the highest levels in the country. In 1999, according to the Texas Transportation Institute (TTq, Texas A&M University, the percent of drivers restrained in 18 Texas cities was approximately 78.5 %. The child passenger restraint law was implemented in 1984 for infants and children from birth to 4 years of age to protect them while riding in a car or light truck. According to TTI, the statewide usage for this age group in 1999 was 66.1 %. The Subgrantee will conduct pre- and post -safety belt and speed surveys in the targeted cities to determine local rates for each wave conducted. This project will increase safety belt and safety seat usage rates through a wave of enhanced enforcement and public information and education efforts.

Media Campaign Conduct local media events immediately before the enforcement effort to maximize the visibility of enforcement to the public. These media events tell the public when, where, how and why the safety belt laws are being enforced. Media will emphasize the special target groups of each wave effort, i.e. Child Passenger Safety Week, Buckle Up America Week, etc. Enforcement Blitz Intensify enforcement through an overtime selective traffic enforcement program which places primary emphasis on increasing the number of citations for non-use of occupant restraints during the peak holiday traffic. Post -surveys Conduct post -observational surveys of safety belt and child safety seat rates. Measure impact of media/enforcement effort. Post -media Campaign Conduct local media events to tell the public why the safety belt laws are important and the results of the wave. sw ,,m -8- ) § ¥ ( ! � � ■ ��� �� m | § � \ w!!!!!! !!!! !a # / � � & \ � k !� � • r ! ! ®- §`} /)\)k/ |))\)) ( i� 0 z < a a a a a a a a z a a a a a a a a c F a a a a a a a < y a a a a a a Z O i E O z a a a a a a a r"aJ v (] VJ N N N Vl N N G mC u V _ E � c a u Dr .5 6 .W O m A Y p CD L ATTACHMENT B FY 2001 APPROVED PROJECT BUDGET STEP WAVE CITY OF ALLEN SUBGRANTEE BUDGET CATEGORY I: LABOR COSTS: Federal Funds (100) SALARIES (Hourly wage rates are estimated for budget purposes only.
