S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION PREPARED BY CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY Barbara L. Rooney, Director State of California Gavin Newsom, Governor California Office of Traffic Safety Barbara L. Rooney, Director 2208 Kausen Drive, Suite 300 Elk Grove, CA 95758 Office (916) 509-3030 • www.ots.ca.gov Dear Fellow Californians: I am pleased to present California's 2021 Highway Safety Plan, which outlines the state's efforts to keep California at the forefront of traffic safety. This year, $93.7 million in federal transportation safety funds have been awarded to support agencies across the state for a wide range of innovative, results-driven programs. In all, 420 grants have been awarded in the areas of alcohol and drug-impaired driving, occupant protection, pedestrian and bicycle safety, emergency medical services and police traffic services. Earlier this year, the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) team outlined their 2020-2023 Strategic Management Plan that serves as a roadmap toward a renewed vision of a California where every person, regardless of their mode of travel, will Go Safely. Achieving this vision will only happen through meaningful collaboration with traffic safety partners at every level. This 2021 Highway Safety Plan shows that collaboration in action. Recognizing a growing trend of deaths and serious injuries on California roadways, the OTS took a proactive approach to expand new grant programs with additional partners, including Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), local Departments of Transportation, Public Health Departments and Active Transportation Grant recipients. The OTS conducted Grant Funding Workshops throughout California, with 12 law enforcement specific workshops in California’s urban centers. This year’s focus is on collaborative enforcement efforts, streamlining traffic records data collection, and comprehensive traffic safety enforcement and education programs. This extended outreach resulted in 468 applications for the 2021 grant cycle, a 36% increase in applications from the previous grant year. New for 2021, the OTS recommended 60 grants with $2.2 million in funding for local agencies to create new, or enhance existing, traffic crash reporting systems, electronic citation equipment, and software to submit crash data to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) electronically. The new grants are all an effort to improve the timeliness of crash record collection throughout the state, helping guide our traffic safety priorities. The OTS is also working on providing funding for collaborative driving under the influence (DUI) and Traffic Enforcement Operations with neighboring agencies that would not otherwise have the resources or staff. More than 100 local law enforcement agencies will now team up to increase an enforcement presence throughout the state. This is a challenging time for transportation. The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the way we are educating the public about safe roadway behaviors. Equity and justice issues are at the forefront of our communities and immediate action is needed to better reflect a culture of diversity and inclusion, ensuring every Californian has safe and equal access to a safe roadway environment. Despite these challenges, our collective efforts to reduce deaths and injuries on our roads will be approached with the same sense of urgency and commitment. I am proud of the work the OTS and our partners are doing to ensure that these federal funds will be used to further the vision of a California where everyone goes safely. Sin cerely, BARBARA L.

It describes California’s highway safety problems, identifies countermeasures, provides qualitative and quantitative measurements to determine goal and objective attainments, and gives descriptions of all proposed new grants. The HSP presentation, contents, and format are designed to meet requirements of California Vehicle Code 2900 and the 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1300.11 as a result of the 2015 signing of the “Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.” Annual Funding Cycle (Federal Fiscal Year) New Federal Fiscal Year Begins October Implement New Grants Prepare Annual Report Review Final Quarterly Reports and Claims November/December Conduct Grant Writing Workshops Post Request for Applications January Applications Due to OTS Evaluate and Prioritize Applications February/March/April Conduct Subrecipient Risk Assessments Finalize Funding Decisions Develop HSP May Pre-HSP Meeting with NHTSA Notify Grant Awards to Subrecipient Agencies Conduct Pre-Funding Assessments June/July Begin Developing Grant Agreements Submit HSP to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration August Review Draft Grant Agreements Federal Fiscal Year Ends September Finalize and Execute Grant Agreements Page 3 Data Sources The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines a highway safety crash problem as “an identifiable subgroup of drivers, pedestrians, vehicles, or roadways that is statistically higher in crash experience compared to normal expectations.” The fact that a subgroup is over-represented in crashes may suggest there is some characteristic of the subgroup that contributes to the crashes. Problem identification involves the study of relationships between crash and the characteristics of population, licensed drivers, registered vehicles, and vehicle miles. Drivers can be classified into subgroups according to age, sex, etc. Vehicles can be divided into subgroups according to year, make, body style, etc. Roads can be divided into subgroups according to number of lanes, type of surface, political subdivision, etc. Crashes can be further analyzed in terms of the time, day, and month; age and sex of drivers; primary crash factor (PCF); and safety equipment usage. Other factors also influence motor vehicle crashes and should be considered in conducting comparative analyses between jurisdictions. For example, variations in composition of population, modes of transportation and highway system, economic conditions, climate, and deterrent effectiveness law enforcement efforts can be influential. The selection of crash comparisons requires the exercise of judgment. Isolating and identifying a contributing factor is a great advantage in the planning and selection of countermeasures. If contributing characteristics can be identified and corrected, the crash

  • San Diegd Police Department San Diego, California
    03-35 SAN DIEGD POLICE DEPARTMENT SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA C/5 C 3 5 Project Summary: Drag-Net San Diego Police Department The Problem: Illegal motor vehicle speed contests, commonly known as street races, throughout the City of San Diego. Analysis: Officers developed a knowledge of the street-racing culture through undercover investigations, interviews with officers who had experience dealing with racers, monitoring Internet websites, interviewing racers, and exploring the legal alternatives that are available. Officers studied data on calls for service, traffic collisions, arrests, and citations related to illegal speed contests. Officers established baseline figures to determine the size of the problem. They identified collateral crimes that were occurring because of the problem. The officers set goals of reducing incidents of street racing to a level that it could be managed with existing resources and to reduce the number of illegally modified vehicles on the roadways. The most important analysis the officers made was whether they could impact the problem, despite its magnitude and history of indifference by society. They realized they had to change society's paradigm about street racing. The Drag-Net Officers decided they would only be successful if they truly made San Diego a safer place. They knew lives could be saved if their analysis was accurate, and the response was effective. Response: Officers used a multi-faceted approach in a comprehensive response strategy: • Undercover operations to identify, apprehend, and prosecute racers

  • Traffic Tickets and Other Violations
    TRAFFIC TICKETS AND OTHER VIOLATIONS Receiving a traffic citation can be stressful and intimidating. This section discusses some common concerns regarding traffic citations and other traffic violations. IF YOU ARE STOPPED The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) suggests that drivers turn on their right turn signals immediately after an officer alerts them to pull over. Officers will alert a driver to pull over by turning on flashing lights on their patrol car. The driver should pull over as far to the right as possible, and should proceed in a safe manner. It is important for the driver to stay calm. The DMV recommends that when pulling over, drivers should discontinue cell phone use, turn off the radio, and place both hands on the steering wheel. Placing both hands on the steering wheel will allow the officer to see that the driver is not holding a weapon. Drivers should have their driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance easily accessible to present to an officer during a traffic stop. If the officer issues a citation, the driver does not admit guilt by signing the ticket. Instead, by signing the ticket, the driver promises to appear in court. In many instances, citations can be handled by mail. COURTESY NOTICES The Superior Court of California, County of San Diego – Traffic/Minor Offenses Division has jurisdiction over Vehicle Code infractions occurring in San Diego County. Most traffic citations are based on violations of the Vehicle Code. The court will usually mail a courtesy notice to the driver about two weeks before the court appearance date indicated on the ticket.

  • CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL Corridor Safety Program—A Collaborative Approach to Traffic Safety
    CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL Corridor Safety Program—A Collaborative Approach to Traffic Safety Judge's Commentary The focus of most problem-oriented projects is crime, but it might just as well be any other of the recurring problems dealt with by police. In fact, this year's winner of the Goldstein Award was focused on a traffic problem—a high rate of fatal accidents on a particular stretch of rural highway in California. The projects' novelty was one reason for its selection. Another was that it was focused on an important, life-threaten- ing problem. However, judges liked many other things about the project, including the following: • Scanning was unusually rigorous. The stretch of highway, or corridor, was selected from among 550 qualifying roadway segments on the basis of its high rate of collisions and fatalities during a three-year period.

    FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL POLICY MANUAL SUBJECT POLICY NUMBER SEARCHES 11.02 ISSUE DATE 02/01/96 REVISION DATE 5/29/15 TOTAL PAGES 7 11.02.01 PURPOSE To specify procedures used by members of the Florida Highway Patrol governing the search and seizure of persons and/or property. 11.02.02 POLICY It is the policy of the Florida Highway Patrol to employ measures that safeguard the rights granted in the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution relating to search and seizures. Article I, section 12 of the Florida Constitution also protects persons and places from unreasonable searches and seizures. 11.02.03 DEFINITIONS A. BIASED POLICING (formerly: Biased Based Profiling)– The selection of an Individual(s) for enforcement action based in whole or in part on a trait common to a group, without actionable intelligence to support consideration of that trait. This includes, but is not limited to, race, ethnic background, national origin, gender, sexual orientation/identity, religion, economic status, age, cultural group, or any other identifiable characteristics. B. PLAIN VIEW – Observation of evidence of a crime or contraband, without searching, from a location where the member has a lawful right to be. C. PROBABLE CAUSE – A fair probability that the evidence will be found, based on an objective assessment of the totality of the circumstances, viewed in light of the member’s training and experience. It means there is a reasonable basis for believing that a crime has been or is being committed, and showing that the items to be seized are at the place to be searched.

  • State Highway Patrols-Their Functions and Financing
    State Highway Patrols-Their Functions and Financing EDWARD A. GLADSTONE and THOMAS W. COOPER, U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, Office of Planning •CONCERN FOR the safety of the motoring public, and the importance of the state police organizations in enforcing traffic and safety laws, was voiced by the governors of most of the 47 states in which the legislatures met in regular session in 1965. In state after state the governor's message emphasized highway safety and pointed to the need for additional highway patrol troops to curb highway accidents and fatalities. In at least 30 states requests were made for an increase in patrol strength, either by the governor, by legislative committees, or by safety agencies. Collectively, specific requests were made in 21 states for nearly 3, 800 troopers to be added to the patrol strength within the next onP. to four years. A summary of the requests (as of mid-1965) is given in Table 1. If approved, these requests would increase patrol strength by an average of 23 percent.
