State previous funding of the project and by whom. In 2004, the Department of Transportation provided funding for training in this area which was very successful. Currently, each Prosecutor's office is responsible for training its deputy prosecutors. While State and Federal Governments have funded traffic safety programs in the past; the previously allocated funds have generally been dedicated to local police departments and endeavors designed to prevent the occurrence of intoxicated driving. EVALUATION Describe the plan to evaluate effectiveness of project. Participants of the DUI/negligent homicide training will fill out a survey designed to measure the benefits of these communication and training forums. These surveys will measure the amount of information or knowledge gained as a result of their participation, the usefulness of the material covered, and the likelihood of such being applicable to cases they typically encounter. What is cost-ratio benefit of project? The project will produce a wealth of benefits that cannot be described in economic terms. At a relatively miniscule cost, the training deputies, police, and medical responders receive will enable them to properly support the efforts of the law enforcement system to keep DUI offenders off Hawaii's roadways. The interagency training will serve to bridge the gap between the justice system's ability to catch DUI and other traffic offenders and their ability to penalize them. This will not only improve the efficiency with which traffic safety funds are used, but also serve to treat and deter repeat offenders and deter habitual DUI offenders from driving. In short, this will save lives. Normally, the cost of sending an attorney to the mainland in order to attend a training costs the government well over $2,000.00. By creating an in state training program, we will be able to train 35 participants at a cost of $15,000, such would otherwise cost the government well over $70,000.00. What is potential of project becoming self-sustaining'? The project is self-sustaining in nature because the knowledge gained and shared by trained deputies will not depreciate, will not be consumed to exhaustion, and will serve its proper end throughout the longitude of these deputies' careers.
