PROJECT TITLE: San Bernardino Traffic Enforcement Program II (STEP 11)
AGENCY: San Bernardino Police Department
PROPOSED BEGINNING DATE: 10-1-04
PROPOSED ENDING DATE: 9-30-06
PROBLEM STATEMENT SUMMARY:
The San Bernardino Police Department recognizes the need to increase efforts in the area of DUI enforcement, DUI
prevention, speed enforcement as well as pedestrian and bicycle safety in order to reduce the number of victims killed or
injured in traffic collisions.
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:

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.
