• It is clear that aggressive driving is a growing problem in West Hawai'i. Law enforcement knows, based on experience and enforcement efforts, that the Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway, Hawai'i Belt Road, Route 190, and Route 11 in the Kona, South Kohala, and Ka'u districts are hot spots for aggressive driving.

Inouye Highway/Route 200 (aka Saddle Road), speeding and aggressive driving on this major highway has become a major concern. This highway is now the primary commuting route for East and West Hawai'i. Officers who enforce speeding on Daniel K. Inouye Highway have consistently issued speeding citations in excess of 80 mph. 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. Hawai'i Police Department (HPD) will issue 1,000 or more speeding and aggressive driving- related citations with grant funds in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2016.
