SUBJECT: ResolutIon ApprovIng the ApplIcatIon for Grant Funds
to Develop a Selective TraffIc Enforcement Program
INTRODUCTION
This report recommends that the City CouncIl approve the attached
resolutIon authorizIng the PolIce Department to apply for grant
funds to develop a Selective Traffic Enforcement Program.
Federal funds, admInistered by the California Office of TraffIc
and Safety, will become avaIlable in February 1985.
BACKGROUND
On February 10, 1984, the CalIfornia OffIce of Traffic Safety
InvIted CIty staff to submit a memorandum proposal for a traffic
safety project. Federal funds, admInistered by the OffIce of
Traffic Safety, would be avaIlable for projects of merit under
the HIghway Safety Act.
Increases In traffIc volume and aCCIdents resulting In Injuries
over the past ten years substantIate the need for some type of
proactive approach by the Police Department.

CIty staff submItte a memorandum proposal on_rcb 28, 1984, to
develop a Selective Traffic Enforcement Program to be carried out
by six motorcycle offIcers, each equIpped wIth a hand-held radar
gun, and a motorcycle sergeant to act as a rIding supervisor~
The prImary goal of the project is to reduce traffIc accidents by
selectively enforcIng specifically IdentifIed accident-causing
violatIons at hIgh-accident locations throughout the City. The
project objectIves are:
1. To increase the number of hazardous CItatIons issued by
at least 50 percent from a 1983 average of 1459 citations
a month to an average of 2,188 citatIons a month by March
31, 1987.
2. To reduce the total number of traffIC accIdents wIthln
the City by at least 10 percent from a 1983 average of
236 accidents a month to an average of 212 accidents a
month by March 31, 1987.
3. To increase the TraffIc Enforcement Index (arrIved at by
dIVIdIng the total number of hazardous CItatIons and ar-
rests by the total number of fatal and Injury traffIC
aCCIdents) from the 1983 average of 25.7 to at least 38.0
by March 31, 1986.
On December 12, 198~, an offICIal of the OffIce of Traffic Safety
V1Slted the CIty and InVIted CIty staff to prepare and submlt the
attached Trafflc Safety Project Agreement. The agreement pro-
vIdes that, if approved by State and Clty offlclals, federal
- 2 -
e e
fundlng would be avallable for 100 percent of personnel costs
during the flrst year of the proJect, and 50 percent of personnel
costs durlng the second year of the project. The City, in turn,
would contrlbute all equipment, operation and maintenance costs
for the two year duration of the project and 50 percent of per-
sonnel costs during the second year of the proJect.
Careful conslderatlon has been glven to officer safety in plan-
nlng for the proposed proJect, as demonstrated by the following
elements of the project deslgn:
1. Hlgh quallty trainlng academles now available.
2. The lmpositlon of a maXlmum three year tour of motorcycle
duty.
3. Mlnlmize nlghttlme actlvlty.
4. Dlscourage hlgh speed pursuits.
5. Eye and coordlnatlon tests admlnistered prior to selection.
6. Selectlon of mature candldates for the posltlon.

The total cost for thiS project during the two year grant perIod
IS estImated to be $1,310,662. Of this amount, $751,815 is to be
funded from the grant award. $404,393 would be net addItIonal
dIrect costs to be Incurred by the CIty, and $154,454 represents
- 4 -
the apprOXimate va~ of in-klnd contrlbution~or proJect coor-
dInatIon and city-wide adminlstratlve Indirect costs. In
1984-85, the direct costs to be Incurred by the City could be
fInanced by transfers of funds wlthin the Police Department due
to expected salary savIngs. Budget transfers needed to support
expendItures during the remaInder of 1984-85 will be requested
after the terms of the final grant award are approved by the
California OffIce of Traffic Safety. In future years, the direct
costs and revenues to the Clty would be lncluded in the proposed
budgets for each respective fiscal year.
Whlle the wrltlng of moving cltations will produce revenue, it
will not be clear what the exact cost benefits wlll be until an
analySiS IS made at the conclusion of a 12 month perlod.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that CIty CounCIl approve
the attached resolution authorizlng the Police Department to
apply for grant funds to develop a Motorcycle TraffIc DivIsIon.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
A. General Characteristlcs
Santa Monica has a population of apProximately 91,000 residents. The City's
8.1 square miles are bounded on three sides by the City of Los Angeles, and
on the west by the ocean. Over eleven mlllion oeople visit Santa Monica
beaches each year. Santa Monlca is a self-contained community enjoyina an
excellent year-round climate, including an average temperature of 61.70F.
It is basically a residential community with clean, high-technology
lndustrial areas. A large shopping mall and even larger shopoing business
and recreational development have been added in recent years.
B. Street and Highways
The roadway system in Santa Monica has a total of 150 miles of Daved streets.
The Santa Monica Freeway (U.S. Interstate 10) runs east and west through
the center of the city, turning north at the beach into the Paclfic Coast
Highway.
There are a total of 33 miles of arterial roads, conforming to a basic grid
plan that connects with roadways of simllar nature in bordering Los Angeles.
The remaining 117 miles of paved roadway is made UP of collector and
residential streets.
C. Op~ratlng Department~
The Santa Monica Pollce Department employs 267 total oersonnel, including
121 non-sworn employees, There 1$ present1y no traff1c unlt.
D. Existing Systems
Operations Bureau patrol units enforce traffic laws on an as-time-available
basis. As manpower permits, one offlcer from day watch and one officer from
night watch are assigned to radar enforcement. Data pertaining to traffic
accldents, arrests, and citations is processed in the City's central
automated data processing (ADP) system. A monthly trafflc statistic orintout
is distributed to the Police Department by the Data Processing Department.
There are indications that the ADP system is not comoatible with Statewide
Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) and does not contain all data
elements used by the California Highway Patrol.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
PROBLEM STATEMENT
. 1
The Santa Monica Police Department has no IformallZed" traffic enforcement orogram.
ThlS situation is due, in part, to increasing budgetary constra1nts affecting ,
police service and deployment. Burgeoning community partlcipation in the Police
Department's priority setting and decision-maklng processes has also impacted
services and deployment. This trend has resulted 1n the gradual reduction and
ultimate elimination of the Police Deoartment's Motorcycle Traffic Division.
The Divlsion, which began in 1913, with ane motorcycle officer, peaked durinq
the 195015, with an e1ghteen-officer squad. By 1970, the unit had been reduced
to two motorcycle officers. The motorcycle unit was f1nally absorbed by the
Patrol Division in 1972.
In June 1982, the Instltute of Transportation Studies at the University of
California at Berkeley examined the City's traffic enforcement prograM. The
study suggested that the Police Department.
.# / ~
- Re-evaluate their current phl1osophies a5~they relate to traffic
acci dent enforcemenf ~- .. /-
- Emphaslze traffic-related training.
- Establish quantif1able written traffic related goals.
- Analyze the necesslty of preoaring two similar TrafflC Statistic Reports.
- Implement the use of comparison tagles - collision factors vs. cltations.
- Re-evaluate accident policy and procedures.
- Develop an accident p1n map.
- Utilize State summar1es of City accidents.
Because of the aforementioned community or1orities, the Santa Monica Police
Department has been more reactive than proactive in terms of traff1C enforcement.
Individual patrol offlcers asslgned to Radar Enforcement generally determine
where and when speed laws are enforced. Due to manpower restrictions, radar
enforcement lS llmited to only one officer per shift~ between the hours of
8 a.m. and 3 a.m.
Beat officers enforce traffic laws as they encounter violat1ons on routine oatrol.
Routine patrol, however, represents less than 10 percent of an average
Santa t10nica police officer1s worklng day.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Traffic in many areas of the City is aoproaching the saturation aoini. Several
factors contribute to the City's trafflc oroblems, including:
Each year the average number of vehicles using city streets increases
by 15,000 vehicles per day.
- The Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica 1S the Western terminus of a
major eight-lane freeway (U.S. Interstate 10).
- U.S. Interstate 10 brings an average of 79,100 vehicles per day into the City.
- The new Santa Monica Place Shopping Mall attracts-19.000 vehicles on an
average day, and an additional 14,000 vehicles are expected to visit daily
the recently completed 496~OOO square foot Colorado Place shopping business
and recreatlonal develooment.
- Pacif1c Coast Highway lS virtually imoassable and local traffic enforcement
is difficult if not impossible on warm weekend days due to b~ach area
congestion. T
- The same situatlon holds true in the areas surroundlng Santa Monica Place
and Colorado Place during the holiday shopoing season.
- The close proxim1ty of the Los Angeles International Airoort, movina over
33 million passengers per year~ contrlbutes to the tremendous vehicle
trafflc problem 1n the Santa Monica area.
- Major recreational and entertainment facilities, including the DODular
Santa Monica Pier and beachest lnvite a preponderance of trafflc ofoblems.
- L1ncoln Boulevard, a State Hlghway and the major North-South surface
streets to Marina del Rey and the Los Angeles International Airport carries
52,100 veh1cles per day in Santa Monica. Development of Summa Cornoration
oropertles adjacent to Llncoln Boulevard in Marina del Rey, 3 mlles sout~
of Santa Monica, is exoected to triple the area's traffic.
- Continuous high rise commercial development on Wilshire Boulevard in
West Los Angeles, adJacent to our eastern boundary, wlll further imoact
our traff1c congestion.
- Pedestrians, presumably due to the unavoidable reduction 1n traffic
enforcement~ regularly dlsobey traffic laws with imDunlty~ adding to
congestion and accidents.

Despite a steady ~ncrease in both number of vehicles and the number of injury

ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
The followlng is a summary of the various efforts that have been made to deal
with the problem:
1. Line supervisors and watch commanders have conducted roll call training
encouraglng field officers to actlvely enforce traffic laws. Watch
Commanders and supervisors post and review monthly recaos of individual
offlcer1s traffic enforcement statlstics. Those with high hazardous
citation averages are praised at roll call; those with low averages are
counseled privately.
2. Offlcers and supervisors have been sent to specialized traffic-related
training Slnce 1982, includlng Advanced Traffic Accident Investigation,
Skid Analysls, and Hazardous Materlal Spills.
3. The Pollce Department has dlscontlnued uSlng its own form to record
property damage only traffic accidents and now use State suoplied for~s
to record all traffic accidents.
4. The Police Depart~ent has~ on several summer weekends. requested the
assistance of Californla Hlghway Patrol motorcycle officers to enforce
unsafe turning violations on the Pacific Coast Highway. Traffic congestlon
on the highway, often caused by unsafe turning movements. precludes
trafflC law enforcement by patro1 cars.
Desplte contlnued efforts to increase traffic law enforcement and reduce traffic
-accidents, the problems contlnue. Glven present capabilitles and nast efforts of
enforcement, it is apparent that additlonal resources are necessary to develop an
effectlve Selective Traffic Enforcement Program.

ADDENDUM
The Department is unable to provide "DUI as peF" and "All Other (PCF)II for
each of the three categories of accidents (Fatal, Injury and Property Damaqe Only)
since such information is not provided by the Cityts traffic acc1dent records.
Traffic accident and enforcement records will, however, be analyzed 1n Phase I
of the project and, if practlcable, such shortcomlngs will be corrected.
SWITRS records do provlde such a breakdown, but an average 31 oercent dlfference
between local and State traffic accident statist1cs negates a valid comparison.
The disparity between local and State records will also be examined, and hooefully
corrected, in Phase I of the project.
