ISSUE
Should the City of Pueblo accept 2007 Colorado Department of Transportation "Click it or
Ticket' funding on behalf of the Police Department not to exceed the amount of $4,500.00?
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 21, 2007 through June 3, 2007. 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
