PROBLEM STATEMENT
Identify the traffic safety related problem or deficiency that the proposed grant is intended to correct.
Identify and gather appropriate data relevant to the problem. Collision/fatalities data appropriate to the
identified problem and a brief analysis of the data is required. When available, three years of data
should be presented and analyzed. When identifying the problem, take into consideration changes in
population, traffic patterns and other demographic dynamics that may affect traffic safety.
Drivers are considered to be alcohol-impaired when their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is
.08 grams per deciliter (g/dQ or higher. Thus, any crash involving a driver with a BAC of .08 or
higher is considered to be an alcohol-impaired-driving crash, and fatalities occurring in those
crashes are considered to be alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities. The term "driver" refers to the
operator of any motor vehicle, including a motorcycle
Impaired driving has perhaps the highest profile among all traffic safety issues. Alcohol
countermeasure programs have been vigorously pursued for decades with aggressive
campaigns in both the public and private sectors. Despite these efforts, impaired driving
remains a highly difficult issue. In 2012 (most up to-date study), 10,322 people were killed in
alcohol-impaired-driving crashes. These alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities accounted for 31
percent of the total motor vehicle traffic fatalities in the United States.
Alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities increased by 4.6 percent from 9,865 in 2011 to 10,322 in
2012. An average of 1 alcohol-impaired-driving fatality occurred every 51 minutes in 2012.
Alcohol-impaired-driving continues to be a problem in Hawai'i. From 2006 to 2012, there were
853 traffic fatalities of which 402 or 47.1% were alcohol-related. In 2009, of the 109 traffic
fatalities 58 or 53.2% were alcohol-related. See Table I below:

From 2006 to 2012, Hawai'i County has experienced 206 traffic fatalities, and 115 or
55.8% were alcohol-impaired-related. Hawai'i County is over represented in both
traffic fatalities and impaired-related traffic fatalities. Hawai'i County has
accounted for a third of the State's alcohol-impaired-related fatalities for the past
six years, which is disproportionate to its population base. See Table II:

The following shows the number of Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence of an Intoxicant
(OVUII) arrests HPD has obtained over the past four years with grant funds:
• Federal Fiscal Year 2009 - 65

• Federal Fiscal Year 2011 - 66
• Federal Fiscal Year 2012 - 63

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 make 1,300 or more arrests for Impaired Driving during
Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2015. Additionally, HPD will make 60 or more arrests for Impaired
Driving at grant-funded checkpoints, and 30 or more at county-funded checkpoints in FFY 2015.
GRANT OBJECTIVES
Objectives are tasks or activities conducted in order to accomplish the grant goal(s) (e.g., develop
permanent fitting stations for child restraints, enforcement activities, educational activities, etc.). Grant
objectives should be stated in measurable terms (i.e., a percent reduction, number of training to be held,
number of roadblocks, etc.), 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.
There are many solutions to the alcohol-impaired-related problem described above, but the HPD
believes that enforcement is the strongest deterrent to impaired driving. HPD will use sobriety
checkpoints every week, or 52 weeks during the grant period in locations that show the
greatest possibility of arresting intoxicated drivers. HPD will also participate by increasing
enforcement during all national mobilization efforts, as well as special holiday periods locally.
HPD will:
1. Establish at least 120 impaired driving roadblocks with grant funds and 50 or more
roadblocks with county funds, establishing roadblocks on all major holidays.
2. Obtain 1,300 or more DUI arrests during FFY 2015.
3. Obtain 60 or more DUI arrests at grant-funded checkpoints.
4. Obtain 30 or more DUI arrests at county-funded checkpoints.
5. Perform 25 or more arrests for other violations at grant-funded roadblocks and 20 or
more arrests at county-funded roadblocks.
6. Issue 250 or more regulatory and moving citations for violations at grant-funded
roadblocks and 200 or more regulatory and moving citations at county-funded
roadblocks.
7. Screen at least 20,000 or more vehicles while at impaired driving roadblocks.
8. Send two (2) HPD representatives to attend the National Lifesavers Conference.
9. Send two (2) representatives to attend the Drug Recognition Expert (DRE)
Conference.
10. Send three (3) Traffic Sergeants to Quarterly Statewide Traffic Commanders Meetings
on Oahu.
11. Use Public Service Announcements Quarterly to provide education and deter impaired
driving.
12. Conduct one (1) earned media event every quarter.
13. Send four (4) HPD officers to DRE School on Oahu.
14. Send one (1) HPD officer to DRE Instructor School on Oahu.
15. Send four (4) officers to DRE Certificate Nights on Oahu.
16. Send 10 officers to DRE Recertification on Oahu.
17. Send 10 officers to ARIDE training at the Hilo Police Station.
18. Purchase seven (7) Intoxilyzer 8000 breathalyzer instruments.
19. Purchase two (2) AlcoPro Brand Passive Alcohol Test Flashlights.
METHOD OF EVALUATION
Using data gathered throughout the grant period, the grant manager will evaluate(1) how well the stated
grant goals and objectives were accomplished, and(2) was the grant cost effective? How are you going
to show effectiveness of your project? What will be the impact of the project on your identified problem
and goal(s)? Provide details on the method of evaluation.
HPD will properly document the total number of Impaired Driving arrests and Impaired Driving
arrests at checkpoints. Evaluate if HPD has obtained the grant goal and objectives listed above.
