PROBLEM STATEMENT The city of Azusa has an estimated population of 48,799 (U.S. Census Bureau: 2014 estimate). Within the last year, Azusa has increased its population due to the near completion of a new 1,250 home community in the northern part of the city. The Rosedale community expanded the city’s residential district which has added substantial traffic to our roadways. These changes in the city have created problems for the residents due to the high increase of vehicles on our roadways. This brings forth significant traffic safety concerns for the residents of this community because it is filled with numerous parks, hiking trails, and mountain views which overlook our city and attract a high number of hikers and bicyclists. Residents have complained about the increase in traffic on Sierra Madre Avenue which bisects the community. Sierra Madre Avenue is being used by residents of the Rosedale community as well as residents of the City of Glendora as a means to by-pass the heavy traffic on the 210 freeway during peak commute hours. On each end of the Rosedale community, Sierra Madre Avenue has a “round-about” intersection, constructed for purposes of “traffic calming,” controlled by yield signs. During those commute hours, drivers rarely yield the right-of-way to those entering the round-about from the intersecting streets, creating concerns for safety near those intersections. Approximately half way between the round-abouts, a stop sign was erected at a four- way intersection to assist in regulating traffic. Commuters traveling east/west on Sierra Madre Avenue seemingly view the stop sign as an inconvenience, and either fail to stop as required, or speed up to well above the 35 mph posted speed limit to the next round-about. In addition to the increased commuter traffic along Sierra Madre Avenue near the Rosedale community, commuters are discovering that this residential neighborhood also provides for “shortcuts” south to Foothill Boulevard. Stealth Stat surveys have been conducted in the community and the complaint of speeding commuters has been confirmed. Another new addition to the city is the Metro Gold Line railway extension. The extension from the city of Pasadena to the city of Azusa has been completed and became operational in March 2016. With the implementation of the new railway, there is a high risk potential for pedestrians and drivers alike. The residents of Azusa are not accustomed to having an active Metro railway route in the city and the hazards associated with grade crossings. It is anticipated that a rise in injury collisions associated with the train may occur. In 2015, the Azusa Police Department investigated 30 DUI related traffic collisions. In 2014 the number was 26 and 2013 it was 31. During those years, with the assistance of OTS, we were able to conduct multiple DUI checkpoints and traffic enforcement details.

Note: A minimum of 1 checkpoint should be conducted during the NHTSA Winter Mobilization and 1 during the NHTSA Summer Mobilization. To enhance the overall deterrent effect and promote high visibility, it is recommended the grantee issue an advance press release and conduct social media activity for each checkpoint operation. 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 checkpoint operations 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 checkpoint operations that begin prior to 1800 hours. 9) Conduct 9 DUI Saturation Patrol operation(s). 10) Conduct 2 Warrant Service operation(s) targeting multiple DUI offenders who fail to appear in court. 11) Conduct 5 Traffic enforcement operation(s), including but not limited to, primary collision factor violations. 12) Conduct 2 Distracted Driving enforcement operation(s) targeting drivers using hand held cell phones and texting. 13) Conduct 4 highly publicized Pedestrian and Bicycle enforcement operation(s) in areas of or during events with a high number of pedestrian and/or bicycle collisions resulting from violations made by pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers.

Note: Presentations may include topics such as distracted driving, DUI, speed, pedestrian and bicycle safety, seatbelts and child passenger safety. NOTE: Nothing in this “agreement” shall be interpreted as a requirement, formal or informal, that a particular law enforcement officer issue a specified or predetermined number of citations in pursuance of the goals and objectives hereunder.

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. HOT Sheets 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 collision locations. 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 • Submit all grant-related activity press releases, media advisories, alerts and general public materials to the OTS Public Information Officer (PIO) at pio@ots.ca.gov, with a copy to your OTS Coordinator. a) If an OTS template-based press release is used, the OTS PIO and Coordinator should be copied when the release is distributed to the press. If an OTS template is not used, or is substantially changed, a draft press release shall be sent to the OTS PIO for approval. Optimum lead time would be 10-20 days prior to the release date to ensure adequate turn-around time. b) Press releases reporting the results of grant activities such as enforcement operations are exempt from the recommended advance approval process, but still should be copied to the OTS PIO and Coordinator when the release is distributed to the press. c) Activities such as warrant service operations and court stings that could be compromised by advanced publicity are exempt from pre-publicity, but are encouraged to offer embargoed media coverage and to report the results.
