Re: Operating Budget
The State of Hawai'i Department of Transportation Public Affairs - Safe Community
Program is providing a $25,278.40 Distracted Driving Project Grant to the Hawai'i County
Police Department. Distracted driving, defined by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration as "any non - driving activity a person engages in that has the potential to
distract him or her from the primary task of driving and increase the risk of crashing ", has
become a serious problem on our roadways.
The goal of this project is to reduce the number of drivers using an electronic mobile
device while operating a motor vehicle by one (1) percent, from 1.55% as reported in the
Summer 2010 Hawai'i Seat Belt Use Survey, to 0.55% by September 30, 2011.
Enclosed is a resolution to authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State
of Hawai'i Department of Transportation for this grant.
Also enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating
this $25,278.40 Distracted Driving Project Grant.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Nori Ishii of the Hawai'i County
Police Department at 961 -2273.
