Re: Operating Budget
The State of Hawai'i Department of Transportation Public Affairs - Safe Community Program
is providing a $33,750 Aggressive Driving Project Grant to the Hawai'i County Police
Department. Aggressive driving, defined by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration as occurring when "an individual commits a combination of moving traffic
offenses so as to endanger other persons or property", has become a serious problem on
our roadways. The goal of this project is to reduce the number of fatal crashes on Queen
Ka'ahumanu Highway, Hawai'i Belt Road Route 190, and Route 11 in the Kona, South
Kohala, and Ka'u Districts and to also increase the amount of aggressive driving citations in
these areas.
Enclosed is a resolution to authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of
Hawaii Department of Transportation for this grant.
Also enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating this
$33,750 Aggressive Driving Project Grant.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Hawai'i County Police
Department.
