DISCUSSION
The purpose of this program is to conduct additional occupant protection and speed enforcement
during selected holiday periods Traffic officers will conduct pre and post-surveys of safety belt usage
and speed compliance, will incorporate pre and post-public information and education efforts, and will
increase enforcement during the designated holidays which include Thanksgiving, Christmas, New
Year's Eve, and New Year's Day
Results of special statewide demonstration STEPs conducted in Texas and five other states affirm that
coordinated waves of enforcement, surveys, and public information and education are feasible,
manageable, and highly effective in reducing traffic-related fatalities, injuries, and costs
The total contract cost of the Wave STEP is $14,355 TxDOT will provide funds in the amount of
$13,000 for overtime and vehicle mileage, and the City will provide $1,355 The terms of the state
contract do not allow for reimbursement of the 11 46% retirement fringe benefit for the overtime, and
was not included in the contract total This cost will be paid with State Awarded Assets.
