WORTH, TX - Page 9 Docusign Envelope ID: 561857DD-6158-8517-82E3-B6F70ECEFFBO APPENDIX A SCOPE OF WORK City of Fort Worth - Increased Police Enforcement Background The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) Regional Transportation Council (RTC) programmed funding to improve safety along high-speed facilities by working with law enforcement agencies to increase presence. To strategically select corridors, NCTCOG staff utilized the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) roadway devices to capture facilities with speeds over 80 mph by time -of -day and day -of -week. This information was combined with statistics on roadway fatalities to identify high -risk corridors in our region. Based on the information NCTCOG reached out to enforcement agencies inquiring about a partnership with NCTCOG to pilot an increased police presence during high -risk times and locations. NCTCOG would reimburse the agencies for this increased effort. The overarching goal of the program is to reduce speeding, crashes, injuries, and fatalities. Project Details The City of Fort Worth will offer additional opportunities for law enforcement to patrol high -risk corridors Corridors that will be considered for increased enforcement will include but are not limited to segments of roadway within the City of Fort Worth with excessive speeding and/or high crash rates. Initial Phase For the initial phase of the project City of Fort Worth will have enforcement zones on Loop 820 (from IH 35W to IH 30) and/or IH 30 East of Downtown (from IH 35W to IH 820). The increased enforcement hours will be within the window from 8 pm to 4 am. Data should be collected during this initial phase and submitted with reimbursement requests monthly, including: o Number of officers who sign up for this program o Number of shifts worked o Number of traffic stops o Result of stop (i.e., ticket issued, warning issued, informational brochure, etc.) Problems, delays, or adverse conditions that materially affect the ability to attain objectives and measures of the program should be promptly submitted so that adjustments can be made to the program. The initial phase should have a time frame of 90 days minimum. At the end of the initial phase, a review will be performed with NCTCOG and City of Fort Worth. The efforts during the initial phase should be analyzed, and any refinements identified that would make the program more impactful. This could include adjusting hours, corridors, or the recruitment of officers to participate. Once adjustments are made, the program should continue with periodic status meetings to report progress and review data.

DISCUSSION: The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) Regional Transportation Council programmed funding to improve safety along high-speed facilities by working with law enforcement agencies to increase presence. To strategically select corridors, NCTCOG staff utilized the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) roadway devices to capture facilities with speeds over 80 mph by time -of -day and day -of -week. This information was combined with statistics on roadway fatalities to identify high -risk corridors in our region. Corridors that will be considered for increased enforcement will include, but are not limited to, predetermined segments of roadway within the City of Fort Worth with excessive speeding and/or high crash rates. The grant will provide overtime opportunities for law enforcement to patrol high -risk corridors. The funding will cover overtime, shift differential, administrative overtime, and associated fringe; retirement, and FICA . This is a reimbursement grant. There is no match requirement. Indirect costs are not allowed for this grant. The Grants Application Repository Number is GRNT-APPL-0000000176. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Grants Operating Federal Fund. The Police Department (and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Police Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc_review.asp?ID=34274&councildate=3/31/2026 4/2/2026 M&C Review Page 2 of 2 TO Fund Department Account Project Program Activity Budget Reference # Amount ID ID Year (Chartfield 2) Fund Department Account Project Program Activity Budget I Reference # I Amount ID I I ID I I I Year I (Chartfield 2) Submitted for City Manager's Office by: Originating Department Head: Additional Information Contact: ATTACHMENTS William Johnson (5806) Eddie Garcia (4212) David Carabajal (4231) Tracy Lamm (4228) ORD.APP 35FY26 NORTH TEXAS COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS TRAFFIC SAFETY GRANT.docx (Public) Signature: -;;�Z-wwn.
