DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department has been awarded $640,000 in grant funding from
the State of California, Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) under the Selective Traffic
Enforcement Program (STEP). This one-year agreement covers the program period
from October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. The goal of OTS STEP is to reduce
the number of fatalities and injuries in crashes involving alcohol, drug, speed, red-light
violations, distracted driving, and other primary collision factors. To accomplish these
goals, the program will fund both education and enforcement activities.
The enforcement activities will follow proven “best practice” strategies and will be
conducted on an overtime basis. The funded strategies will include Driving Under the
Influence (DUI) checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols, as well as DUI enforcement
operations in collaboration with neighboring cities to apprehend impaired drivers. The

Unified School District as well as at the Garden Grove Unified School District schools
within the west side of the City. Promotional and educational materials will be made

includes funding to purchase bicycle helmets for distribution to community members
during outreach and education events.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Santa Ana is a diverse and dynamic city. It is the County Seat and metropolitan hub within
Orange County, drawing hundreds of persons in the city on a daily basis. With landmarks like Bower's
Museum, Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA), California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) Grant
Central Art Center, it is a popular destination for art aficionados and students. The Downtown Santa Ana
Historic District has become a popular destination on weekend nights. New restaurants and bars continue to
open their doors to welcome patrons. This influx of patrons has greatly increased the number of drivers in
the downtown area during evening hours, many of whom have been consuming alcoholic beverages.
The City of Santa Ana is home to an estimated 322,725 residents. Within the City of Santa Ana, there are
approximately 477 miles of local, arterial, and collector roadways. The City employs approximately 354
sworn Police Officers, fielded in either Patrol, Investigations, or Traffic assignments.
The Santa Ana Police Department has 21 sworn Police Officers assigned to the Traffic Division. These
numbers include (1) Commander, (2) Sergeants, (3) Corporals, and (15) Police Officers, (3) sworn Police
Officers as Crash Investigators and are fielded for the purpose of OTS traffic enforcement as needed and to
conduct other special duties. There are (18) Motor Officers assigned to the Traffic Division who are tasked
with daily traffic enforcement and crash investigations.
In 2020 there were 23 fatal traffic crashes. In 2021 there were 23 fatal traffic crashes respectively. In 2022
there were 18 fatal traffic crashes. Many of these fatal traffic crashes have been the result of alcohol and/or
drug-related vehicle crashes and pedestrian crashes. Injury crashes have increased from 1170 in 2020 to
1350 in 2021, a trend the department hopes ceases with continued funding for enforcement efforts. Nearly
one-half of all injury traffic crashes were caused by three primary factors (PCF's); unsafe speed, automobile
right-of-way violations, and traffic signals & signs violations.
Our city has committed itself to traffic safety. In the most recently published five-year strategic plan, traffic-
safety was outlined to be a top priority, specifically as it relates to education and enforcement. In response,
the Traffic Division has dedicated itself to participating in education programs, targeting all children and
adults alike. The Traffic Division has hired personnel to focus on these efforts specifically.
Through our work in education, both grant-funded and internally funded measures, we hope to prevent the
tragic consequences of unsafe drivers, pedestrians, and impaired drivers. The educational efforts, in
conjunction with ardent enforcement activities, will have a positive effect on our community and make the
City of Santa Ana safer for everyone.
As part of other traffic safety measures, the City of Santa Ana will focus efforts on bicycle safety intended to
reduce the number of bicyclists injured or killed in traffic crashes. Bicycle safety measures taken by
providing bicycle helmets and informational events for the community will reduce bike crashes and other
bicycle related injuries. During 2022, we had 4 bicyclists involved in a fatal traffic crash and had a total of
116 bicyclists injured in traffic crashes. In FY2024, we hope to reduce bicycle safety threats in the city and to
accomplish this we aim to do the following:
Issue and properly fit helmets, distribute reflective arms bands as available and lights to reduce the
number of bicyclists riding in our community without properly fit equipment while increasing their
visibility among drivers.
The ways we distribute the equipment may include:
At bicycle safety events generally held at Teen Centers, schools, city parks, apartment
complexes, mobile home parks, PD/substation, or Community Centers.
At the Santa Ana Police Department booth at City-wide special events (e.g., National Night
Out). All of our major events have free bike parking. This is another area where staff will
connect with folks who may arrive without the proper safety equipment.
In cooperation with our School Resource Officers and/or Probation Officer through individual
contacts as a result of another incident.
9/27/2023 9:22:31 AM Page 5 of 21
Education and outreach efforts have been made at apartment complexes, mobile home
parks, Santa Ana Unified School District Schools and Charter Schools. In addition, we
coordinate and partner with agencies to provide events such as Bike to School, Walk to
School, National Night Out, and various City and Police events. During these events we
provide bike lights and /or mobile reflective safety devices and bicycle helmet safety literature
and distribute helmets.
Bicycle safety efforts have yielded the following so far, and we plan to continue these efforts:
Schools Attended: 63 / Community Contacts: 11,142
City-Wide Events: 59 / Community Contacts: 18,039
Bike Rodeos: 4
Helmets Distributed: 244
Wristbands Distributed: 700
Bike Lights Distributed: 700

Order 3902.10, Text Messaging While Driving, States are encouraged to adopt and enforce workplace safety policies
to decrease crashes caused by distracted driving, including policies to ban text messaging while driving company-
owned or rented vehicles, Government-owned, leased or rented vehicles, or privately-owned vehicles when on official
Government business or when performing any work on or behalf of the Government. States are also encouraged to
conduct workplace safety initiatives in a manner commensurate with the size of the business, such as establishment of
new rules and programs or re-evaluation of existing programs to prohibit text messaging while driving, and education,
awareness, and other outreach to employees about the safety risks associated with texting while driving.
