DISCUSSION
Crash data for calendar year 2000 indicates that 81 persons were killed in 65 fatal crashes While the
number of fatal crashes has remained level over the past two years, the number of persons killed
increased 19% Of the 65 fatal crashes, 36% were alcohol and/or drug related Speed was a
contributing factor in 29% of the fatal crashes and 60% of the drivers were exceeding the posted speed
limit. Additionally, 32% of the persons killed were unrestrained while current driver restraint usage rates
are 75% and child restraint compliance is only 59%
Working on an overtime basis, officers will attempt to decrease total crashes on targeted STEP sites,
reduce speeds in excess of the posted speed limit, arrest intoxicated drivers, and increase safety belt
and safety seat usage rates. All equipment for this program will be provided from existing resources,
and the State will reimburse the City for overtime pay and mileage expenses.
The total contract cost of the Comprehensive. STEP is $201,692. TxDOT will provide funds in the
amount of $182,884 and the City will provide $18,808 The terms of the State contract do not allow for
reimbursement of the 11 46% retirement fringe benefit for the overtime personnel base salaries and
was not included in the contract total
