GRANTS MADE EASY-STEP <br /> SCHEDULE A <br /> GRANT DESCRIPTION <br /> GRANT No. PT1796 <br /> PAGE 1 <br /> 1. PROBLEM STATEMENT <br /> In 2015 the Redlands Police Department investigated 490 injury traffic collisions having a slight increase of <br /> 1.9%over the year 2014 at 481. Forty three of those injury collisions were alcohol related giving an <br /> increase of 34%over the 32 in 2014. We had one fatal motorcycle traffic collision that was alcohol involved <br /> charting a 100%increase over 2014 where we had no fatalities. This fatal collision is categorized in our <br /> nighttime traffic collision data due to the time of the crash. Data showed a 100%decrease of motorcycle <br /> injury victims from 4 in 2014 to 0 in 2015 which we attribute to our continuing traffic safety enforcement_ <br /> We did not have any Hit and Run fatalities but data revealed a 66% increase of Hit and Run injury victims <br /> at 35 in 2015 over the 21 the previous year. Our nighttime (2100 -0259 hours) injury traffic collisions <br /> increased 45%from 59 in 2014 to 86 in 2015. <br /> Last year we had one pedestrian killed with no pedestrians killed in 2014.Pedestrian injuries increased from <br /> 29 in 2014 to 138 in 2015. Bicyclist injuries slightly increased.from 20 in 2014 to 22 in 2015. <br /> The city of Redlands downtown and west end commercial districts are currently expanding with new <br /> businesses,restaurants and alcohol serving establishments. The Mountain Grove shopping plaza business <br /> district is again expanding this year with new shopping opportunities, a movie theatre and restaurants to <br /> include surrounding establishments that serve alcohol. This is increasing pedestrian traffic and roadway <br /> users in and out of the city. In addition, interstate highways I-10, I-210 and state highway 38 travel through <br /> Redlands providing connectors to a multitude of other cities. The assistance of a STEP grant will allow <br /> officers to be deployed for additional traffic safety measures and enforcement. Roadways in these areas are <br /> continuing to be improved to relieve congestion and accommodate the increasing volume of travel by <br /> roadway users day and night. <br /> OTS-38b(Rev.4/16) <br />
