PROBLEM STATEMENT
Identify the traffic safety related problem or deficiency that the proposed grant is intended to correct.
Identify and gather appropriate data relevant to the problem. Collision/fatalities data appropriate to the
identified problem and a brief analysis of the data is required When available, three years of data
should be presented and analyzed When identifying the problem, take into consideration changes in
population, traffic patterns and other demographic dynamics that may affect traffic safety.
Speeding is one of the most prevalent factors contributing to traffic crashes. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that the economic costs to society of
speed-related crashes to be $40.4 billion per year.
The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) released a new National Survey of Speeding Attitudes and Behavior (December 11,
2013) in which nearly half of drivers surveyed say speeding is a problem on our nation's roads,
and one in five drivers surveyed admitted, "I try to get where I am going as fast as I can."
Speeding-related deaths nationwide account for nearly a third of all traffic fatalities each year,
taking close to 10,000 lives
The perception of risk, i.e., whether the driver perceives that he/she will be caught speeding, is
a factor in how well a posted speed limit is followed. Excessive vehicle speed (speed above that
for which the roadway was designed, exceeding posted limits or speed too fast for conditions)
has severe and often times disastrous effects in a crash, because speed:
• Reduces a driver's ability to negotiate curves or maneuver around obstacles in the
roadway.
• Extends the distance necessary for a vehicle to stop.
• Increases the distance a vehicle travels while the driver reacts to a hazard.
• Compromises the integrity of the vehicle structure.
• Decreases the effectiveness of vehicle design features such as airbags and restraint
systems.
• Decrease the ability of roadway hardware such as guardrails, barriers and impact
attenuators to protect occupants.
• Increases tread wear on tires and wear on braking systems.
• Increases the risk of crashes because other vehicles and pedestrians may not be able
to judge distance accurately. (GHSA, Survey of States Speeding Report)
Hawai'i County has shown that continued speed enforcement can contribute to reducing the
speed-related fatalities. Over a five year period, the speeding related fatalities have shown a
decrease in Hawai'i County. See Table I Hawaii Police Department (HPD) Issued Speeding
Citations (2009-2014) and Table II Hawai'i County - Speed Involved Fatalities (2009-2014).

GRANT GOALS
Goals serve as the foundation upon which the grant is built. Goals are what you hope to accomplish by
implementing a traffic safety grant and represent an end result. Grant goals should be stated in
measurable terms (i.e., a percent reduction), be concise and deal with a specific item, be realistic with a
reasonable probability of achievement, and be related to a specific time frame (a "by"date). Please
notate baseline from which the reduction/increase will result.
HPD will issue 1,200 or more speeding citations with grant funds in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY)
2016.
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 time frame (a "by"date). Please notate baseline
from which the reduction/increase will result.
In addition, HPD will:
1. Conduct 100 or more checkpoints, specifically in locations known for excessive
speed violations and locations of recent crashes involving serious injuries or death.
2. Issue 600 or more citations for other violations with grant funding.
3. Effect 15 or more arrests during speeding projects for speeding, warrant violations,
and other offenses.
4. Conduct Speed Mobilization Periods island wide to promote enforcement and public
awareness.
5. Purchase 10 radar units to be used by patrol officers island wide.
6. Purchase a Stalker brand Speed Awareness Monitor (SAM) for the Kona District.
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.
HPD will properly record the number of grant-funded citations issued for speeding. Evaluate if
HPD has obtained the grant goal and objectives listed above.
