1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.
The City of Santa Ana, located in central Orange County, California, serves as the county seat and is known
for its vibrant culture and rich history. With a population of approximately 310,000 residents, Santa Ana is
the third most populous city in the county, following Anaheim and Irvine. Covering about 27.5 square miles,
the city features a diverse mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial centers, and industrial areas.
Santa Ana plays a key role in Orange County's public sector and educational landscape, hosting numerous
government offices and institutions. The city has a predominantly Latina population, which contributes
significantly to its cultural identity and community life. Santa Ana is home to historic landmarks such as the
Old Orange County Courthouse and the Santa Ana Zoo, as well as modern destinations like MainPlace Mall
and a growing downtown arts district.
Due to its central location and proximity to major highways including interstate 5 and State Routes 22 and
55, Santa Ana experiences high volumes of commuter traffic. This results in ongoing challenges related to
traffic safety, particularly for pedestrians and cyclists. The Santa Ana Police Department actively addresses
these concerns through enforcement, public education, and community engagement initiatives aimed at
improving roadway safety for all users.
Describe the problems)to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most
recent calendar year datalstats).
Santa Ana consistently reports a higher-than-average rate of traffic crashes compared to other cities of
similar size. These incidents frequently involve speeding, impaired driving, and failure to yield, posing a
serious risk to the safety of all roadway users. Additionally, the city's dense neighborhoods and mixed-use
areas result in increased pedestrian and bicycle activity, further compounding the risks of severe or fatal
crashes. During 2024, the City of Santa Ana experienced 14 fatal traffic crashes involving pedestrians or
bicycles.
Data indicates that the city experiences a disproportionate number of crashes in specific high-traffic
corridors and intersections. Vulnerable populations, including children, seniors, and economically
disadvantaged residents, are particularly at risk due to limited access to safe infrastructure and
transportation alternatives. Despite ongoing efforts, enforcement resources remain strained, limiting the
Santa Ana Police Department's ability to proactively address traffic safety concerns. In 2023, the city saw a
decrease in the number of fatal traffic crashes; however, in 2024 the city experienced a record high of 31
fatal traffic crashes. A large portion of these crashes were pedestrians in the roadway, both at fault and not.
There has been a large increase of pedestrian traffic within our city limits and many times the pedestrians
are not using marked or unmarked crosswalks. The city has many large streets with multiple lanes and large
gaps between intersections. This causes pedestrians to cross traffic in a dangerous manner and crashes
occur.
Santa Ana faces unique challenges related to traffic safety, with high volumes of vehicular, bicycle, and
pedestrian activity. The city's central location and major thoroughfares, including Interstate 5 and State
Routes 22 and 55, contribute to significant commuter traffic. As a result, traffic safety remains a priority for
the Santa Ana Police Department, which is committed to reducing crashes and enhancing the safety of all
roadway users through proactive enforcement, education, and community engagement.
Santa Ana continues to face dangerously high rates of traffic-related injuries and fatalities among bicyclists
and pedestrians. According to the Office of Traffic Safety 2022 rankings, Santa Ana placed 6th out of 15
large cities for both bicyclist injuries and fatalities, with particularly concerning numbers among children and

local schools and community events. Providing helmets and properly fRU
wng and distributing them is a direct
9/15/2025 7:39:02 AM Page 4 of 24
and effective way to reduce the severity of injuries in crashes and promote safer riding practices throughout
the community. Research consistently shows that helmets, when properly fitted, helmets are proven to
significantly reduce the severity of head injuries in bicycle crashes. It is our goal to ensure that individuals
receive appropriately sized helmets and be fitted correctly in order to maximizes safety impact.
Also, the top three primary crash factors are improper turning, unsafe speed, right of way. Improper
movement resulted in 2 fatal crashes with 2 victims killed and causing an additional 227 crashes with 227.
Unsafe speeding caused one fatal crash with one victim killed, as well as causing 357 crashes resulting in
357 victims injured. Right of way caused 308 crashes, with 309 victims injured. These factors highlight the
urgent need for targeted strategies to reduce crashes and improve roadway safety for all in our community.
Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).
Santa Ana Police department will be implementing evidence-based traffic safety measures to significantly
reduce the number of crashes at identified hotspots. This includes high visibility enforcement activities such
as DUI Saturation, DUI/DL, Checkpoints, among others.
We will implement strategies to identify and address the issue of unlicensed drivers through education and
enforcement; thereby reducing the risk of crashes caused by individuals without valid driving credentials.
We will focus on pedestrian traffic incidents by implementing awareness campaigns and safety equipment
distribution to ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists on city streets.
We will establish community outreach programs to educate residents and commuters about the importance
of traffic safety and garnering their support for sustainable, long-term changes.
By addressing these key issues, Santa Ana Police Department seeks to create a safer and more efficient
transportation environment in the City of Santa Ana, accommodating the daily influx of workers, addressing
the challenge of unlicensed drivers, and improving the quality of life for its residents and providing services
to the at-risk traffic parties within the City of Santa Ana. This includes all pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers,
seniors, children, etc. The City of Santa Ana is densely populated and has a large pedestrian traffic
presence and children walk to school every day in the neighborhoods. Our goal is to keep everyone on our
roadways safe.

(applies to subrecipients as well as States)
The State and each subrecipient will comply with the Buy America requirement (23 U.S.C. 313) when
purchasing items using Federal funds. Buy America requires a State, or subrecipient, to purchase with Federal
funds only steel, iron and manufactured products produced in the United States, unless the Secretary of
Transportation determines that such domestically produced items would be inconsistent with the public
interest, that such materials are not reasonably available and of a satisfactory quality, or that inclusion of
domestic materials will increase the cost of the overall project contract by more than 25 percent. In order to use
Federal funds to purchase foreign produced items, the State must submit a waiver request that provides an
adequate basis and justification for approval by the Secretary of Transportation.
