PROBLEM STATEMENT: The City of San Bernardino is nestled in the heart of the Inland Empire of Southern California. This region has seen an explosion of growth in recent years and is consistently rated as one of the fastest growing regions in the country. As a result of this growth, traffic congestion and traffic related problems have increased substantially in recent years with minimal improvement in the local infrastructure to deal with the increase in traffic. Additionally, the City of San Bernardino is constantly battling high crime rate numbers and as a result our ability to dedicate the increase necessary in regular manpower resources for traffic problems has been unrealistic. San Bernardino collision experience over the past three years has been: Collision Type 2000 2001 2002 Collisions Victims Collisions Victims Collisions Victims Fatal 18 19 20 21 20 22 Injury 997 1578 968 1517 1016 1549 Fata I Injury Killed Injured Fatal Injury Killed Injured Fatal Injury Killed Injured Alcohol Involved 5 76 5 109 6 68 6 97 7 13 9 111 Speed Related 4 233 4 372 1 217 1 355 3 224 3 323 Pedestrian 8 77 7 33 9 60 9 68 6 76 6 80 Pedestrian 1-14 0 29 0 30 4 21 3 23 1 26 1 25 Bicyclist 1 49 1 50 0 76 0 75 1 43 1 47 Bicyclist 1-14 0 15 0 15 0 27 0 29 0 15 0 16 Use rates for seatbelts, child safety seats and bicycle helmets in San Bernardino: Seat Belts Child Safety Seats Bicycle Helmets 93% 91 % 1 16% Office of Traffic Safety rankings for 2001 indicate: Ranking Category Per 1000 Vehicles Miles Traveled Per 1000 Population Collisions Statewide Population Group Statewide Population Group Total Fatal and Injury Collisions 183 21144 81 16 / 4'4 Alcohol -Involved Collisions 190 18 / 44 103 9 / 44 Speed Related Collisions 217 29 / 44 140 23 / 44 Victims Killed and Injured Pedestrians 207 21 / 44 141 18 / 44 Pedestrians 1-14 169 17 / 44 133 14 / 44 Bicyclist 209 21 / 44 133 14 / 44 Bicyclist 1-14 29 5 / 44 1 73 1 / 44 DUI Arrest # of Arrest 378 % of licensed population 0.33% 2004-21 The table shows collision data and statistics for San Bernardino from 2000-2002. Evident in the numbers provided is that San Bernardino is no better than average in most categories and below average in most. Additionally our DUI arrest rate numbers are far below the optimal 1.00-% driving population arrest rate percentage. Our arrest rate percentage in 2003 increased significantly. This increase was a direct result of checkpoint and saturation programs funded by OTS programs. The San Bernardino Police Department is proposing "STEP 11" (San Bernardino Traffic Enforcement Program II). Our department is currently implementing an OTS grant that has been instrumental in addressing traffic related issues in our community. However, we recognize that more work needs to done. "STEP II" is a comprehensive program to address traffic related problems in the City of San Bernardino. The program will include DUI Checkpoints, Saturation Patrols and prevention / educational programs at local high schools and colleges. The program will also include speed enforcement campaigns to address speed violators. Our efforts to address pedestrian and bicycle related collisions would include pedestrian enforcement programs as well as kids safety clinics / school educational programs. We also desire to establish a court diversion program for youthful offenders on bicycle / pedestrian violations. Additionally STEP II will focus on the development of public awareness and educational. materials in support of the project and solicit the participation of allied agencies and community based organizations.
