The State of Hawai'i Department of Transportation Public Affairs - Safe Community
Program is providing Federally derived funds of $25,278.40 for the purpose of supporting
the Hawaii County Police Department's Distracted Driving Project. 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 Hawaii Seat Belt Use Survey, to 0.55% by September 30, 2012.
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 $25,278.40 Distracted Driving Project Grant.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Nori Ishii of the Hawaii County
Police Department at 961 -2273.
