ISSUE
Should the City of Pueblo accept 2006 Colorado Department of Transportation "Click it
or Ticket" funding on behalf of the Police Department not to exceed the amount of
$4500.00?
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 22, 2006 through June 4, 2006. 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 for this grant.
Fundinq Letter
Funding in the amount not to exceed $4,500.00 has been allocated to Pueblo
Police Department to conduct aggressive enforcement of Colorado's child
passenger safety laws; and concerted enforcement of Colorado's secondary seat
belt laws, through contacts involving speeding and /or other aggressive /hazardous
driving offenses during the 2006 May Mobilization "Click it or Ticket" campaign.
Enforcement activities are to be conducted during the period May 22nd through June
0 2006.
