DATE: October 18, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Roy Nakamura, Chief of Police
By: Amber Abeyta, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: GRANT AWARD FROM THE OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY –
SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM FOR
REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS RELATED TO VARIOUS TRAFFIC
ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,000
Recommendation: Accept
SUMMARY
The Arcadia Police Department has applied for a grant from the California Office of Traffic
Safety (“OTS”) for the 2023 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program, which will reimburse
expenses related to traffic enforcement operations during the period of October 1, 2022,
through September 30, 2023. OTS has approved the funding request of approximately
$50,000. With City Council approval, the grant agreement will be fully executed on or
before October 31, 2022.
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this project is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and accept a grant award from the Office
of Traffic Safety – Selective Traffic Enforcement Program for reimbursement of costs
related to various traffic enforcement operations in the amount of $50,000.
BACKGROUND
The Selective Traffic Enforcement Grant Program (“STEP”) is administered and
coordinated by OTS directly. The grant is designed to help reduce the number of persons
killed and/or injured in crashes involving alcohol, speed, running red lights, and other
primary collision factors. The program funds various enforcement strategies including DUI
saturation patrols to apprehend drunk drivers, warrant service operations targeting DUI
violators who fail to appear in court or violate probation, and stakeouts. The program also
supports measures that concentrate on speed, aggressive driving, seat belt enforcement,
intersection operations with disproportionate numbers of traffic collisions, traffic safety
presentations, and special enforcement operations encouraging motorcycle safety. A
copy of the draft Office of Traffic Safety Grant is attached to this staff report.

Overall, the grant is used to mitigate traffic safety program 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.
DISCUSSION
The Selective Traffic Enforcement Program will reimburse the City for personnel costs,
supplies, and travel expenses related to conferences and trainings that support STEP
and/or traffic safety goals in an amount of approximately $50,000. During the federal
Fiscal Year of October 2022 to September 2023, the Department will engage in several
DUI saturation operations, warrant service operations, traffic enforcement operations,
distracted driving operations, and traffic safety presentations.
The grant award will be distributed on a reimbursement basis. OTS will reimburse the City
for all pre-approved costs upon receipt of the Department’s quarterly claims. The City will
be required to comply with the terms and conditions of each grant, including expense
reporting and auditing.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), based on Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can
be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. Thus, this matter is
exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated OTS STEP expenditures have been included in the adopted FY 2022-23
Budget. All costs related to the Program will be offset by reimbursement at the end of the
grant period, in the amount of approximately $50,000.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this project is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and accept a grant award from the Office
of Traffic Safety – Selective Traffic Enforcement Program for reimbursement of costs
related to various traffic enforcement operations in the amount of $50,000.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Arcadia is in Los Angeles County and has a population of approximately 57,000 people. In
addition to the permanent residents, tens of thousands of people come to the City of Arcadia daily for work,
tourism, and recreational activities. Traffic volumes can be extremely heavy throughout the city, due to the
following reasons: There are five major east/west running arterial streets connecting Arcadia to surrounding
cities, which generate a high volume of commuter traffic. Additionally, numerous vehicles bypass the 210
Freeway during peak commute hours and travel on local roadways through the city. Furthermore, the City of
Arcadia has two major businesses - the Westfield Santa Anita Mall and the Santa Anita Racetrack. In
addition to these venues, the Los Angeles County Arboretum hosts concerts, and special events throughout
the year. These three destinations attract tens of thousands of patrons daily, and, during peak hours, there
can be over one-hundred thousand persons in the city. Finally, there are many large medical buildings in
town, in addition to the Arcadia Methodist Hospital, which provide services to residents from surrounding
communities.
The Department's Traffic Bureau has fluctuated between full, and less than full staffing, in recent years.
However, because of current staffing issues, the Traffic Bureau has been disbanded. Despite vacancies,
Department personnel strive to provide a high level of service to the Arcadia community.
In 2016, five (5) fatal traffic crashes occurred with a total of seven (7) victims. In 2017, one (1) fatal traffic
crash occurred with one (1) victim. The PCF was V.C. 23153(a) - DUI Alcohol Causing Injury. In 2018, two
(2) fatal traffic crashes occurred with two (2) victims. The PCF for the first fatal crash was V.C. 21951 -
Passing a Vehicle Stopped at a Crosswalk. The PCF for the second crash was V.C. 21955 -
Jaywalking. In 2019, one (1) fatal traffic crash occurred with one (1) victim. The PCF was V.C. 23152(a) -
DUI Alcohol. In 2020, one (1) fatal traffic crash occurred with one (1) victim. The PCF was V.C. 21453(a) -
Red Light violation. In 2021, four (4) fatal traffic crashes occurred with four (4) victims. The PCF for the first
fatal crash was V.C. 22348(b) - Speeding over 100MPH. The PCF for the second fatal crash was V.C.
191.5(a) - Gross Vehicular Manslaughter with an associated PCF of V.C. 23153(a) - Felony DUI Causing
Injury. The PCF for the third fatal crash was V.C. 21658(a) - Failure to Maintain a Direct Course of Travel
with an associated factor of a possible medical emergency. The PCF for the fourth fatal crash was classified
as - Other Than Driver. It appears the driver had a medical emergency prior to the crash. A review of the
data shows that crashes involving pedestrians, red light violations, speeding, and alcohol/drug impairment
have caused crashes resulting in fatalities.
In 2016, a total of 957 traffic crashes occurred, in which 369 persons sustained injuries. In 2017, a total
of 904 traffic crashes occurred, in which 292 persons sustained injuries in 208 crashes. In 2018, a total of
836 traffic crashes occurred, in which 323 persons sustained injuries in 237 crashes. In 2019, a total of 841
traffic crashes occurred, in which 282 persons sustained injuries in 204 crashes. In 2020, a total of 449
traffic crashes occurred, in which 196 persons sustained injuries in 145 crashes. In 2021, a total of
561 traffic crashes occurred, in which 228 persons sustained injuries in 172 crashes.
Since 2016, the overall number of traffic crashes has decreased. This could be due to many factors,
including less vehicles traveling on roadways during the past two years of the COVID pandemic. Although
the number of crashes has decreased in recent years the average number of persons injured remains
relatively high, with an average of 281 persons being injured in traffic crashes since 2016. It is our hope that
grant related enforcement activities, targeting primary crash factor violations, will help reduce the number of
traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities.

each checkpoint. For combination DUI/DL checkpoints, departments should issue
press releases that mention DL's will be checked at the DUI/DL checkpoint. Signs
for DUI/DL checkpoints should read "DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint Ahead."
OTS does not fund or support independent DL checkpoints. Only on an exception
basis and with OTS pre-approval will OTS fund checkpoints that begin prior to
1800 hours. When possible, DUI/DL Checkpoint screeners should be DRE- or

3. METHOD OF PROCEDURE
A. Phase 1 – Program Preparation (1st Quarter of Grant Year)
The department will develop operational plans to implement the “best practice” strategies
outlined in the objectives section.
All training needed to implement the program should be conducted this quarter.
All grant related purchases needed to implement the program should be made this quarter.
In order to develop/maintain the “DUI BOLOs,” research will be conducted to identify the “worst of
the worst” repeat DUI offenders with a suspended or revoked license as a result of DUI
convictions. The Hot Sheets may include the driver’s name, last known address, DOB,
description, current license status, and the number of times suspended or revoked for DUI. DUI
BOLOs should be updated and distributed to traffic and patrol officers at least monthly.
Implementation of the STEP grant activities will be accomplished by deploying personnel at high
crash locations.
Media RequirementsIssue a press release approved by the OTS PIO announcing the kick-off of
the grant by November 15, but no sooner than October 1. The kick-off release must be approved
by the OTS PIO and only distributed after the grant is fully signed and executed. If you are
unable to meet the November 15 deadline to issue a kick-off press release, communicate
reasons to your OTS coordinator and OTS PIO.
B. Phase 2 – Program Operations (Throughout Grant Year)
The department will work to create media opportunities throughout the grant period to call
attention to the innovative program strategies and outcomes.
Media Requirements
The following requirements are for all grant-related activities:
Send all media advisories, alerts, videos, graphics, artwork, posters, radio/PSA/video scripts,
storyboards, digital and/or print educational materials for grant-related activities to the OTS PIO
at pio@ots.ca.gov for approval and copy your OTS coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7
days before the scheduled release but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release
date for review and approval is appreciated.
The OTS PIO is responsible for the approval of the design and content of materials. The agency
understands OTS PIO approval is not authorizing approval of budget expenditure or cost. Any
cost approvals must come from the Coordinator.
Pre-approval is not required when using any OTS-supplied template for media advisories, press
releases, social media graphics, videos or posts, or any other OTS-supplied educational material.
However, copy the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and your OTS coordinator when any material is
distributed to the media and public, such as a press release, educational material, or link to social
media post. The OTS-supplied kick-off press release templates and any kickoff press releases
are an exception to this policy and require prior approval before distribution to the media and
public.
If an OTS-supplied template, educational material, social media graphic, post or video is
substantially changed, the changes shall be sent to the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov for approval
and copy to your OTS Coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days prior to the scheduled
release date, but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and
approval is appreciated.
Press releases, social media posts and alerts on platforms such as NextDoor and Nixle reporting
immediate and time-sensitive grant activities (e.g. enforcement operations, day of event
highlights or announcements, event invites) are exempt from the OTS PIO approval process. The
OTS PIO and your Coordinator should still be notified when the grant-related activity is
happening (e.g. car seat checks, bicycle rodeos, community presentations, DUI checkpoints,
etc.).
Dr

f
t
8/16/2022 3:34:48 PM Page 6 of 16
Enforcement activities such as warrant and probation sweeps, court stings, etc. that are
embargoed or could impact operations by publicizing in advance are exempt from the PIO
approval process. However, announcements and results of activities should still be copied to the
OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and your Coordinator with embargoed date and time or with
“INTERNAL ONLY: DO NOT RELEASE” message in subject line of email.
Any earned or paid media campaigns for TV, radio, digital or social media that are part of a
specific grant objective, using OTS grant funds, or designed and developed using contractual
services by a subgrantee, requires prior approval. Please send to the OTS PIO at
pio@ots.ca.gov for approval and copy your grant coordinator at least 3 business days prior to the
scheduled release date.
Social media posts highlighting state or national traffic safety campaigns (Distracted Driving
Month, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, etc.), enforcement operations (DUI checkpoints,
etc.), or any other grant-related activity such as Bicycle rodeos, presentations, or events, are
highly encouraged but do not require prior approval.
Submit a draft or rough-cut of all digital, printed, recorded or video material (brochures, posters,
scripts, artwork, trailer graphics, digital graphics, social posts connected to an earned or paid
media campaign grant objective) to the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and copy your OTS
Coordinator for approval prior to the production or duplication.
Use the following standard language in all press, media, and printed materials, space permitting:
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety,
through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Space permitting, include the OTS logo on all grant-funded print materials, graphics and paid or
earned social media campaign grant objective; consult your OTS Coordinator for specifics,
format-appropriate logos, or if space does not permit the use of the OTS logo.
Email the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and copy your OTS Coordinator at least 21 days in
advance, or when first confirmed, a short description of any significant grant-related traffic safety
event or program, particularly events that are highly publicized beforehand with anticipated media
coverage so OTS has sufficient notice to arrange for attendance and/or participation in the event.
If unable to attend, email the OTS PIO and coordinator brief highlights and/or results, including
any media coverage (broadcast, digital, print) of event within 7 days following significant grant-
related event or program. Media and program highlights are to be reflected in QPRs.
Any press releases, work plans, scripts, storyboards, artwork, graphics, videos or any
educational or informational materials that received PIO approval in a prior grant year needs to
be resubmitted for approval in the current grant year.
Contact the OTS PIO or your OTS Coordinator for consultation when changes from any of the
above requirements might be warranted.
C. Phase 3 – Data Collection & Reporting (Throughout Grant Year)
1. Prepare and submit invoice claims (due January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30)
2. Prepare and submit Quarterly Performance Reports (QPR) (due January 30, April 30, July 30, and
October 30)

media activities. Include status of grant-funded personnel, status of contracts, challenges, or
special accomplishments.
Provide a brief summary of quarterly accomplishments and explanations for objectives not
completed or plans for upcoming activities.
Collect, analyze and report statistical data relating to the grant goals and objectives.
4. METHOD OF EVALUATION
Using the data compiled during the grant, the Grant Director will complete the “Final Evaluation” section in
the fourth/final Quarterly Performance Report (QPR). The Final Evaluation should provide a brief summary
of the grant’s accomplishments, challenges and significant activities. This narrative should also include
whether goals and objectives were met, exceeded, or an explanation of why objectives were not completed.
5. ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
This program has full administrative support, and every effort will be made to continue the grant activities
after grant conclusion.

use Federal funds to purchase foreign produced items, the State must submit a waiver request that provides
an adequate basis and justification for approval by the Secretary of Transportation.
PROHIBITION ON USING GRANT FUNDS TO CHECK FOR HELMET USAGE

Presidential initiative. For information and resources on traffic safety programs and policies for employers,
please contact the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS), a public -private partnership dedicated to
improving the traffic safety practices of employers and employees. You can download information on seat belt

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.
