Grant Guidelines, Instructional Powerpoint, and Application from LAPD

OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY GRANT APPLICATION GUIDELINES
PROGRAM BACKGROUND OTS distributes federal funding apportioned to California under the National Highway Safety Act and the Safe, Accountable and Flexible Efficiency Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). Grants are used to mitigate traffic safety program deficiencies, expand ongoing activity, or develop a new program. Grant funding cannot replace existing program expenditures, nor can traffic safety funds be used for program maintenance, research, rehabilitation, or construction. PRIORITY AREAS OTS grants address traffic safety priority areas that are shown below: Alcohol and Other Drugs (AL) - OTS gives priority-funding consideration to local law enforcement agencies submitting applications under “Grants Made Easy” (GME). Funding is available for sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols, and innovative strategies targeting multiple DUI offenders who violate probation or fail to appear in court. Funding for enforcement and education programs may include overtime, contractual services, full time personnel, allowable operating costs and equipment such as Evidential Portable Alcohol System devices and DUI checkpoint trailers. OTS also funds requests for “Report Drunk Driver - Call 911” roadway signs. Police Traffic Services (PT) - OTS gives priority-funding consideration to local law enforcement agencies submitting applications under “Grants Made Easy” (GME). Funding is available for programs targeting driver’s with suspended and/or revoked licenses resulting from DUI, seat belt and red light running enforcement and other primary collision factor violations. Items eligible for funding include full time personnel and overtime, as well as specialized equipment such as motorcycles, visible display radar trailers, and speed measuring devices. Emergency Medical Services (EM) - OTS gives priority funding consideration to regional EMS applications submitted under “Grants Made Easy” (GME). Applications should include a comprehensive local needs assessment of equipment for multiple agencies. Single EMS agency funding requests are discouraged. OTS provides funding for the purchase of ambulances, rescue vehicles, extrication equipment, and miscellaneous medical equipment and supplies. Traffic Records/Roadway Safety (TR)- OTS gives priority funding consideration to countywide Traffic Records applications submitted under “Grants Made Easy”( GME). Traffic Records GME grants provide funding for GIS Based Collision Record Systems that enable public works (city and county) and police departments to track, identify, analyze, and display collision and citation data in a geographic information system format. OTS also gives priority funding consideration to regional or countywide applications requesting funding for traffic control devices such as vehicle speed feedback signs, flashing beacons at school crosswalks, in-roadway warning lights at crosswalks, and countdown pedestrian signals that may only be placed “off” the federal aid system. To determine if a location is “off” the federal aid system, use the California Road Systems (CRS) maps at the following Caltrans link: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/tsip/hseb/crs_maps/. Regional or county agencies submitting applications for traffic control devices should conduct a comprehensive local needs and problem identification assessment of city and county roadways. Funding for construction or installation costs is unallowable.
OTS-45 (Rev. 1/11) 1

Occupant Protection (OP) - Includes funding for programs designed to increase seat belt use through the promotion of innovative public awareness and education strategies. OTS supports funding for enforcement of seat belt violations and the purchase of “Click It or Ticket” roadway signs. OTS also will fund a limited number of child safety seat programs. Applications should address education, training, enforcement, public information, and may include personnel, educational materials, and child restraint devices. Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety (PS) - Includes programs to increase safety awareness and skills among pedestrians and bicyclists. Applications may encompass activities such as safety programs, education, enforcement, traffic safety and bicycle rodeos, safety helmet distribution, and court diversion programs for safety helmet violators. QUALIFIED AGENCIES California Vehicle Code Sections 2908 and 2909 provide for the apportionment of federal highway safety funds through OTS to state and local governmental agencies. In accordance with these statutes, OTS is unable to directly fund community-based organizations (CBOs). State or local agencies can apply for OTS grant funding and in turn subgrant to non-profit agencies including CBOs. These state or local agencies are referred to as “host” agencies. OTS will not evaluate applications received directly from non-governmental agencies.

HOW TO APPLY Applying for an OTS grant begins with submission of an application using the eGrants system. eGrants is the Office of Traffic Safety’s web accessible grants management system that facilitates all aspects of the grant process from application through reporting, claim reimbursement and close-out. The e-Grants system workflow is driven by the creation and completion of Tasks. For example, the first Task will be to “Complete Grant Application.” Agency Authorization Before you can submit your application to OTS, the e-Grants system will require your application to be approved by a representative of your agency authorized to commit your agency to conduct the grant should your application be approved for funding. OTS grant funding is based on the federal fiscal year calendar, which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. Most OTS grants are for a one -year period. Upon selection, OTS staff will guide your agency in the development of a grant agreement using the eGrants system. Development of the agreement will begin in June; however, grants do not become effective until October 1 and the fully executed grant agreement is in place. It is incumbent upon the agency to complete the grant development process timely to ensure the October 1 beginning date. Upon notification from OTS that your application has been selected, it is imperative for an agency to research the procurement process of grant funded items (i.e. recruitment of personnel, confirming vendors, acquire bids, equipment, estimates, etc.) if your new grant contains full or part time personnel (not overtime), equipment and other direct costs items. However, do not incur costs prior to October 1.

RESOURCES Refer to Grants Made Easy Applications vs. General Applications for information that will help you determine the type of grant application that will address your needs. This link will also allow you to access PDF documents that show what each GME template consists of. OTS Collision Rankings for large and medium population jurisdictions are available on the OTS website. OTS uses data from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), maintained by the California Highway Patrol, along with data from Caltrans and the Department of Justice to develop collision rates for California cities and counties. The rates are calculated for population and vehicle miles of traveled. Cities within population groupings are ranked according to various traffic safety problems. Instructions for interpreting the collision rankings are included on the website at http://www.ots.ca.gov/Media_and_Research/Rankings/default.asp. Applicant agencies should consult the OTS Collision Rankings as part of their problem identification process.

APPLICATION COMPONENTS

Problem Statement: The Problem Statement identifies the traffic safety related problem or deficiency that the proposed grant is intended to correct. The Problem Statements are uploaded to the eGrants system along with the Method of Procedure. Applicants will need to gather appropriate data relevant to the traffic safety problem. In addition to some data gathered by OTS, the data provided in the application will be used to evaluate and rank your submission against those submitted from other agencies. Collision data appropriate to the identified problem and a brief analysis of the data is required. When available, three years of data should be presented and analyzed. When identifying the problem, take into consideration changes in population, traffic patterns, and other demographic dynamics that may affect traffic safety. If appropriate, data collection may include conducting surveys to establish pre-grant baseline information. For example, you may need to conduct local surveys and contrast local seat belt and child safety seat use rates to statewide rates; or conduct and report the findings from a local bicycle helmet use survey for riders between 5 to 18 years old. If accepted for funding, surveys will be required in the grant agreement. Seat belt, child safety seat, and bicycle helmet survey guidelines are available on the OTS website. For regional EMS applications, the problem statement must include the number of traffic collision responses, extrications, age of equipment, response times, and size of response areas.

Goals and Objectives: Goals serve as the foundation upon which the grant is built. Goal(s) are what you hope to accomplish by implementing a traffic safety grant and represent an end result. Goal statements begin with the word “to” followed by an action verb. For example:
OTS-45 (Rev. 1/11) 3

1. To reduce the number of persons killed in traffic collisions. 2. To reduce the number of persons injured in traffic collisions. 3. To reduce the number of persons killed in alcohol-involved collisions. 4. To reduce the number of persons injured in alcohol-involved collisions. Objectives are activities conducted in order to accomplish the grant goal(s). Grant objectives should be stated in measurable terms, be concise and deal with a specific item, be realistic with a reasonable probability of achievement. All Objectives also begin with the word “to” followed by an action verb, for example: 1. To conduct 4 DUI/DL Checkpoints. 2. To conduct 8 DUI Saturation Patrols. 3. To increase total department-wide DUI arrests by 10% from 549.

4. To conduct 16 special enforcement operations targeting red light running. 5. To increase total department-wide seat belt citations as a percent of total hazardous or moving citations issued 5 percentage points from the Federal Fiscal Year base rate of 20%.

6. To increase the police department’s enforcement index 5 percentage points from the Federal Fiscal Base Year index of 50. 7. To conduct 2 “Real DUI Trials” in 2 high schools. 8. To conduct 2 “Reality Check” student press conferences involving high school journalism students. Budget: When preparing the Budget, care should be taken to develop an accurate estimate of costs. Grant costs must be reasonable and proportional to the stated problem. Obtain appropriate estimates from vendors, and include tax, delivery, shipping, and set-up costs. Attempt to anticipate increases in costs that may occur between the time the grant is proposed and the grant start date. It is strongly recommended that you request assistance from your financial office to estimate accurate program costs. An inaccurate budget estimate could result in insufficient grant funds. Allowable costs are discussed in the Grant Program Manual, Chapter 2. This publication is available on the OTS website. The eGrants system will require your budget to be approved by a fiscal representative of your agency before the application can be submitted to OTS. FUNDING CRITERIA The following represent highlights of the Office of Traffic Safety’s (OTS) funding criteria for traffic safety grants. For additional information regarding allowable costs, consult the Grant Program Manual, Chapter 2 and NHTSA’s Grant Funding Policy.

Public Communications and Education - The design and printing of billboards, bus posters, cards, and other public information materials are allowable. The printing and/or purchase of education materials (e.g., brochures, pamphlets, etc.) are allowable. LETTERS OF SUPPORT Local Benefit Applications A state department that submits an application for a grant that is not a statewide effort and focuses on specific locations in the state is considered “for local benefit.” Evidence of consent and acceptance of the work, goods, or services provided by the state on behalf of a local government must be submitted to OTS. Examples of documents that constitute “consent and acceptance” are: A signed letter from the city or county, on city or county letterhead, which specifically identifies the grant and affirms either that the city or county has had an active voice in the initiation, development, and implementation of the particular grant; that the city or county has requested the benefits of the program as part of the local government’s highway safety program; or the city or county consents to the grant and accepts the work, goods, or services provided through the grant. A grant that has subgrants to local entities through the Request for Proposal (RFP) process, a copy of the local agency response to the RFP, signed by a representative of the city or county, including their planned activities and Budget Estimate. The RFP should include language that states a response to the RFP constitutes consent to the grant and acceptance of the work, goods, or services provided through the grant. A signed copy of the agreement/contract between your agency and the subgrantee which includes, as an element of the contract, a statement affirming either that the city or county has had an active voice in the initiation, development, and implementation of the particular grant; that the city or county requested the benefits of the program as part of the local government's highway safety program; or the city or county consents to the grant and accepts the work, goods, or services provided through the grant. A resolution from the city council or county board of supervisors which expresses support for the grant. If the “local consent and acceptance” documentation cannot be provided at the time of submission of an application, acknowledgement of the requirement to provide such documentation must be included. This acknowledgement may be provided as an upload in place of the letters of support. Multi Agency Applications A local agency that submits an application for a grant that includes the involvement of other agencies within their community will be required to submit letters of support from those agencies. Program examples are: An “Avoid DUI Campaign” application that includes the cooperation of multiple enforcement agencies; or a grant from a Health Department that wants to conduct educational efforts within the school system. Some of these grants may require contractual agreements or Memorandum of Agreement or Understanding to implement once the agreement is signed, while others may only require a support letter. Letters of support must be scanned and uploaded with the application via the eGrants system.

TO:

The Honorable Board of Police Commissioners

FROM:

Chief of Police

SUBJECT: TRANSMITTAL OF THE 2010-2011 SOBRIETY CHECKPOINT MINI-GRANT PROGRAM APPLICATION FROM THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS 1. That the Board of Police Commissioners (Board) TRANSMIT the attached grant application for the 2010-2011 Sobriety Checkpoint Mini-Grant Program, pursuant to Administrative Code Section 14.6(a), to the Offices of the Mayor, the City Administrative Officer, and the Chief Legislative Analyst, and to the City Clerk for committee and City Council consideration. 2. That the Board REVIEW and APPROVE this report. 3. That the Board REQUEST the Mayor and City Council to: A. AUTHORIZE the Chief of Police or designee to ACCEPT the award of the 2010-2011 Sobriety Checkpoint Mini-Grant Program from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) in the amount of $504,000, for the period of October 1, 2010, through September 6,2011: B.

The Honorable Board of Police Commissioners Page 2 1.17

F. AUTHORIZE the Controller to increase appropriations as needed from 2010-2011 Sobriety Checkpoint Mini-Grant Program, Fund No. 339, appropriation account number to be determined, Department No. 70, to Fund No. 100, Department No. 70, account numbers and amounts as follows: Account No. 1092, Overtime Sworn, $327,600 Account No. 1090, Overtime Civilian, $8,400; G. AUTHORIZE the LAPD to submit grant reimbursement requests to the grantor and deposit grant receipts into Fund No. 339, Department No. 70; and H. AUTHORIZE the LAPD to prepare Controller instructions for any technical adjustments, subject to the approval of the City Administrative Officer, and AUTHORIZE and INSTRUCT the Controller to implement the instructions. DISCUSSION In 2009, over 1,000 people were either killed or injured in Driving Under the Influence (DUI) traffic collisions within the City. The Sobriety Checkpoint Program will use overtime to deploy officers and civilians at 42 sobriety checkpoints from October 1, 2010, through September 6, 2011. The goal of the checkpoints is to reduce the number of victims killed and injured in DUI traffic collisions. Additionally, the checkpoints will serve as a combination DUI/driver license checkpoint that will include 30-day vehicle impounds. A Department of Motor Vehicle study concluded drivers with a suspended or revoked license had a criminal record 33 percent of the time and of those drivers, 85 percent used their automobile in the commission of a crime. Drivers with a suspended or revoked license were involved in four times more fatal collisions and six times more injury collisions as licensed drivers. Furthermore, these drivers experienced 11 times more DUI convictions as licensed drivers. In 2009, the Department was a recipient of a $616,591.20 Sobriety Checkpoint Mini-Grant. During the grant period, the Department conducted 45 sobriety checkpoints that resulted in 262 DUI arrests and 1,193 vehicles were impounded. The OTS classifies the Sobriety Checkpoint Programs as "mini-grants" because they are grants directed towards a specific issue (i.e. sobriety checkpoints) as opposed to a typical grant wherein the grantee decides how the funds should be used. The Sobriety Checkpoint Program Grant Agreement uses a standard format (with the exception of statistical data) used by all law enforcement agencies. The Sobriety Checkpoint Program requires zero matching funds from the Department except for the compensation of officers who are subpoenaed for court or administrative hearings resulting from arrests made during the checkpoints.

These reports must be a result of the operation and required to be processed quickly for distribution to the courts and the District Attorney's Office, or to meet statutory time limits. Clerical overtime incurred before the checkpoint or more than one business day after the last day of the checkpoint is not allowable. Costs for preparing claims are not reimbursable. Reimbursements are contingent upon the following (note: exceptions must be approved by the SafeTREC):

The applicable post-operational data have been submitted using the SafeTREC's on-line reporting system. A press release for each checkpoint has been submitted (if multiple checkpoints are conducted within a seven-day period, a press release for the seven-day period has been submitted). The claim form is correctly filled out, using the SafeTREC Excel-based form. The claim amounts do not exceed the limits set forth in Schedule B —Detailed Budget Estimate. The information in the overtime slips and the ledger report are consistent and fully support the claim. A ledger report(s) supporting the claim amount is attached to the claim. Only source documents are accepted to support the claim amount. Explanatory documentation such as spreadsheets may be submitted to provide additional information but cannot be accepted in lieu of a ledger report(s). Contract cities only. A contract city must also provide the sheriffs department's invoice to the contract city for the checkpoint overtime costs described in the contract city's claim. The invoice (or an attachment to the invoice) must contain the contract rates that are the basis for the sheriffs department's invoiced amount. The contract city must provide a ledger report showing payment of the invoice amount. If a sheriffs department or police department is administering the mini-grant for a contract city, then that administering agency must provide the ledger report only. The claim is signed by the Authorizing Official (Box B of the grant cover page) or Individuals Authorized to Sign Claims (Box D) as designated in the grant cover page. Changes in the Authorizing Official of the Applicant Agency or the designation of any other additional individual(s) to sign claims are documented in accordance with SafeTREC documentation requirements.
