STRATEGIES 1. Conduct approximately 175 seatbelt checkpoints. 2. Issue 2100 citations for seatbelt and child restraint violations. 3. Issue 1050 citations for other violations. 4. Affect 50 arrests of persons during enforcement projects. 5. Conduct media campaigns and provide public service announcements concerning seat belt usage. 6. Participate in national "Click It or Ticket" campaign. The Statewide Traffic Commanders Coalition has agreed that seat belt and child restraint enforcement should be coordinated statewide. SOLUTION/IMPLEMENTATION Police personnel, on overtime, will conduct highly visible seat belt enforcement projects to supplement the enforcement efforts currently conducted by our Department. EVALUATION The amount of grant funded projects; citations and arrests will be tracked to determine if quantitive measures were obtained. The Hawaii Department of Transportation statewide seat belt survey, conducted by the University of Hawaii, will be used to determine seat belt usage rates. Statistics of seat belt usage rates in fatal crashes will be reviewed to determine the effect of this concentrated enforcement.
