SCHEDULE A HPD DATA GRANT MISSION/GOAL The goal is the reduction of total fatalities with the County of Hawaii by 5% from 34 in FFY 2007 to 32 in FFY 2009. HPD will acquire palm pilots and mobile printers to be utilized for the electronic citation project. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION ~` Hawaii continues to have a traffic safety problem and the need to identify where the problems are within the State. Please see.Table I for Hawaii's Summary of Traffic Demographics.

These systems include; 1) Traffic Crash Systems; 2) Roadway Inventory Systems; 3) Traffic Citation and Adjudication Systems; 4) Emergency Medical/Injury prevention Systems; 5) Driver Licensing and Driver History Systems; and 6) Vehicle Registration Systems. The information systems within each state and local agency have traditionally been designed and -- operated to support the specific needs of the one or more business processes within the owner agency. Since these systems began to appear in the 1960s they have become `mission critical" to their owner agencies. Many have gone through one or more major overhauls during their life as technology and needs changed. Today, as we look toward the traffic safety information needs of the 21S` century, and the demands for all public agencies to have data driven, performance based safety programs; the traffic safety data community is faced with the challenge of re-visiting the design and operation o these systems.
