TO:HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
FROM:CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT: POLICE
DATE:DECEMBER 16, 2002 CMN:475:02
SUBJECT:ACCEPTANCE OF OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY GRANT IN
THE AMOUNT OF $97,322 FOR SEAT BELT AND CHILD
SAFETY SEAT EDUCATIONAL AND ENFORCEMENT
PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council accept ~ant funds from the State Office of Traffic
Safety (OTS) in the amount of $97,~_2 for a seat belt and child safety seat education and
enforcement pro~am.
BACKGROUND
In March 1999, after determining that approximately 95 percent of child safety seats were
installed improperly, the Police Department sent two traffic officers to it 40-hour child safety
seat course hosted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration CNHTSA). The
purpose of the course was for the officers to gain knowledge in the area of child safety seats and
become NHTSA certified technicians who would be able to properly install the seats. Shortly
thereafter, the Department began providing monthly child safety seat courses to expectant
parents at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. Additionally, officers conducted numerous
presentations to local community groups and schools on this topic. Police staff have assisted
approximately 2,500 parents/caretakers with the installation of child safety seats.
Because of the critical safety issues associated with proper installation of child safety seats, in
the past three and a half years the Police Department has been inundated with requests for
additional information and installation. On average, the Department receives 75 requests per
month for installation assistance. As a result, in May 2001 the Department sent mlo additional
officers to be NHTSA trained and certified.
CMR:475:02 Page 1 of 3
Even with these efforts, in 2000-2001, there were 10 injury accidents reported in Palo Alto
involving children below the age of six. Due to the continuing safety concern, in January 2002,
the Police Department submitted a grant proposal to the State Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to
develop a more comprehensive occupant protection and child safety seat education program that
would help fund the salary for an existing part-time officer to facilitate the program.
DISCUSSION
Staffhas been notified that OTS approved the grant proposal. The program associated with the
acceptance of the OTS grant funds is designed to provide additional education to cormnunity
members about the use of child safety seats and seat belt compliance. The primary goals of the
program are to reduce fatalities and injuries for vehicle occupants under the age of six, to insure
proper installation, of child safety seats, and to increase seat belt compliance. The Police
Department proposes to reach these goals by continuing a program, which wil! include increased
enforcement, child safety seat training and check-up events, child safety seat
inspections/installations, and enhanced public awareness campaigns. The Department intends to
utilize an officer to educate and train additional police personnel in this area. As a requirement
of the grant, the Police Department will also enlist participation from community-based
organizations, distribute child seats to low income families, teach child safety seat classes, and
¯ assist schools in implementing child safety seat policies. Specific grant goals and objectives are
included in the attached grant agreement.
RESOURCE IMPACT
An allocation in the amount of $24,957 will be made at midyear for costs associated with the
purchase of equipment, supplies and overtime for participating Police staff in 2002-03. Grant
revenue totaling $52,517 to offset these expenditures and the salary of the existing part-time
officer will be received from OTS as reimbursements. In 2003-04, $15,805 in expenses and
$44,805 in reimbursements will be requested to maintain the program through March 2004. No
additional officer positions will be added to the Department's approved staffing allocation and
the program wil! be implelnented with existing staff. The program will be reevaluated at the
end of the grant period to determine continuation of the program.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS

PROJECT DESCRIPTION PAGE 1
BACKGROUND
No GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS - THE City of Palo Alto is located in Santa Clara County, approximately 35
miles south of San Francisco and 14 miles north of San Jose, the county seat. The City of Palo Alto is
part of Silicon Valley, wkich is a major supplier of computer hardware, software, communications,
semiconductor industries and enviromnemal teclmology. The City of Palo Alto consists of 26 square
miles, of which one-tl~'d is devoted to open space, 34 dedicated parks, a heterogeneous connrmnity with
a resident population of approximately 62,000 and a daytime population of 125,000. Within the city
limits there are 12 public elementary schools and 78-nmsery school/day care centers. Although most of
the business people who work in Palo Alto do not live in Palo Alto, many of them drive theh children
into the city for school/daycare.
Bo STREET AND HIGHWAYS- There are over 200 miles of road and 30 miles of bike lanes in Palo Alto. The
traffic tl-n-oughom the day and evening hours is heavy as people from the San Francisco Pe~insula travel
tlvough our conmmnity. Palo Alto is located adjacent to Highway 101 and neat- Interstate 280, which
are both heavily traveled highways used by cormamters, tom~sts mad commerce. The City is over 100
years old and has a number of major streets that are narrower than current state standards.
OPERATING DEPARTMENTS - The Palo Alto Police Depat-tment is a full smwice, municipal agency staffed
by ! 72 full-time employees. The Police Department consists of the Patrol Division, which includes
Traffic and Community Policing, the Investigations Division, Con~mmications Division, Support
Se~wices Division, Persom~el and Training, Animal Services Division and Administration. There are 96
sworn officer positions budgeted for fiscal year 2002/03. The Department is charged with traditional
law enforcement responsibilities. Traffic enforcement is the primary responsibility of the Traffic
Division that consists of eight assigned traffic officer positions (motorcycles), one sergeant (motorcycle)
and one lieutenant. Traffic enforcement is also a primary responsibility for the Patrol Division that has
an authorized strength of 45 officers supervised by ten sergeants and two lieutenants/watch
conmaanders. At this time the police department has six officers in the field-training program, six
officers in the police academy and eight lateral officers in the process of background investigations. The
department is projected be fully staffed by January 2003.
Do EXISTING SYSTEMS - Traffic enforcement is a function of the Traffic Division and Patrol Division staff
and is overseen by one traffic sergeant and ten patrol sergeants. Data pertaining to enforcement
activities, collisions, at~d traffic-related complaints are processed into the Department's records
managenaent system. Collision statistics are also processed by SWITRS, with quarterly and atmual
reports.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Palo Alto is cmmrtitted to maimafiaing an excellent quality of life for the residents, business owners
and employees, and visitors who come to our city. Palo Alto has seven major arterial streets (University Ave.,
Embarcadero Road, Middlefield Road, Chatleston Ave./Arastradero Road, Alma Street, San Antonio Road,
OTS-38b (Rev 10199)Revised: 10/16102
SCHEDULE A
PROJECT NO: OP0314
PROJECT DESCRIPTION PAGE 2
Oregon Expressway/Page Mill Road and E! Camino Real). Unlike most cities in California where arterial
streets pass tkrough non-developed or cmrmaercial lands with few driveways, most of these arterial streets in
Palo Alto are bordered by single family homes, schools and clmrches and include high volumes of bicycle,
pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Due to the congestion on Highway 101, a large number of motorists (commuters
and business vehicles) attempt to find relief from this congestion by ch'iving on these major Palo Alto arterials,
often in excess of the posted speed limit.
The Palo Alto Police Departmem does not cunently have a clfild occupant protection program in place. The
department receives approximately seventy-five phone calls per month requesting assistance with child safety
seat installations and requesting general fiffomaation regarding child safety seats/booster seats. There are 3
NHTSA certified car seat teclmicians witl~a the police department at this time. Since March of 1999 the
department has used a traffic officer to take on many of the responsibilities relating to child occupant safety.
However, due to the current staffing shortage in the patrol division, the traffic division has been forced to
downsize from eight officers to five officers. As a result, officers are kept busy handling calls for service and
do not have tinae to conduct car seat inspections.
In November of 1999 the Palo Alto Police Department began using a new records management system. Due to
this change we have not been able to retrieve collision data prior to that date. However, we do have data that
shows 10 reported injury collisions involving children six years and under ha 2000 mad 2001.
Due to the City's large anaount of businesses, the high volume of traffic, as well as the amount of schools
enrolling children 6 years old and younger, it is a priority of the City of Palo Alto to educate the public
regarding occupant protection, including child occupant protection.
The City of Palo Alto's collision experience over the past tln'ee years has been:

ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
Traffic safety is one of the major goals that City Council has established as a priority for the City.
Since March 1999, the City of Palo Alto Police Department has conducted more than 2,000 child safety seat
inspections, has been instrumemal in teaching child safety seats classes to nursery schools, mothers groups,
hospitals, etc. and has been involved in numerous car seat events hosted by Conmaunity Based Organizations.
From July 1, 2000 tl~aough July 1, 2002 the police department has issued 1,978 seat belt citations and 89 car
seat citations. The traffic division completed two seat belt checkpoints in the past three years, as well as
focused enforcement for seat belt violations.
The CiU of Palo Alto is proposing to implement the Occupant Protection and Child Seat Safety Education
Program which will include increased enforcement ha the area of child safety seat use mad seat belt compliance,
child safety seat training and check-up events, child safety seat inspection/installation appointments,
development and distribution of public awareness and educational materials in support of the project, and the
participation of community-based organizations. The city's goal is to decrease the misuse rate for child safety
restxaintibooster seats, thus decreasing the injmT rate anaong children, as well as increase seat belt compliance
and decrease fatal/injury collisions caused by non-compliance. We intend to reach this goal by utilizing one
officer to educate mad train additional police persomael, as well as enlist all patrol and traffic officers to inform
and educate the public and to provide focused enforcement.
