GRANT DESCRIPTION PAGE # GRANT OBJECTIVES Objectives are tasks or activities conducted in order to accomplish the grant goal(s) (e.g., develop permanent fitting stations for child restraints, enforcement activities, educational activities, etc.). Grant objectives should be stated in measurable terms ( i.e., a percent reduction, number of training to be held, number of roadblocks, etc.), be concise and deal with a specific item, be realistic with a reasonable probability of achievement, and be related to a specific timeframe (a "by" date). Please notate baseline from which the reduction/increase will result. Objective l: Get grant approved and acquire $20,350 grant by October 1, 2010. The following objectives are contingent on an October 1, 2010 grant implementation date. Objective 2: Go through pertinent County procurement process to purchase 100 GPS units within the grant amount by end of October 2010. Objective 3: Deliver the 100 GPS units to HPD -Traffic Services Section by November 2010. Objective 4: Work with HPD to have them start using the proper street names as shown on County GIS maps for traffic crash reporting/editing by December 2010. Objective 5: HPD to learn and implement the use of the GPS units for traffic crash location reporting by end of December 2010. Objective 6: HPD to start using the GPS units for all crash location reporting for the 2011 calendar year — start using by January 2011. Objective 7: Work with HPD -Traffic Services Section to come up with a comma separated format that includes GPS coordinates for their crash reports to be used to upload into RoadSoft GIS by January 2011. Objective 8: Work with HPD to ensure that the fields in Objective 7 are filled out in every report by January 2011. Objective 9: Generate traffic crash frequency top 50 locations list and other crash trend reports using RoadSoft GIS by January 2012. Objective 10: Using top 50 accident frequency list, collect respective AADTs as needed to get top crash rate locations. Objective 11: Plan and budget for safety improvement projects based on top crash rate locations by April 2012. METHOD OF EVALUATION Using data gathered throughout the grant period, the grant manager will evaluate (1) how well the stated grant goals and objectives were accomplished, and (2) was the grant cost effective? How are you going to show effectiveness of your project? What will be the impact of the project on your identified problem and goal(s)? Provide details on the method of evaluation. The effectiveness of the project will be exhibited using weekly, monthly, or quarterly progress reports that reflect project status and whether the targeted objectives are being met. The included Schedule C document can be used to track the milestones for the project and the dates that the milestones are reached. The HPD traffic crash reports will contain GPS coordinates that will help describe the traffic crash locations. The percent of the traffic crash reports that include GPS coordinates will be a barometer to determine areas where improvements in GPS reporting can be made. RoadSoft GIS traffic crash frequency, rate, and trend reports can be generated using the updated HPD traffic crash data. Our Annual Traffic Safety Report will summarize the traffic crash analysis data for the year and the respective projects that are being planned based on said data.
