ISSUE
Should the City of Pueblo accept 2005 Colorado Department of Transportation
"Click it or Ticket" funding on behalf of the Police Department not to exceed the
amount of $5000.00?
RECOMMENDATION
The Department recommends acceptance of this funding to enhance efforts in
traffic safety and seatbelt usage.
BACKGROUND
This funding will allow the Police Department to increase its efforts in traffic
safety and seatbelt usage from May 23, 2005 through June 13, 2005.
Community awareness efforts will continue through continued collaboration with
CDOT and the statewide media campaign during the mobilization period. We
anticipate that a continued education and enforcement presence will be needed
to have a long lasting impact on the problem of seatbelt usage with a goal to
increase seatbelt usage to 82.5% statewide
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no match required f-or this grant.
