DISCUSSION
TxDOT has agreed to provide funds for this new program for the next three years.
Currently, the City of Fort Worth has approximately 475 signalized intersections. During 1998, there
were 696 intersection-related crashes, 83% resulting in some type of injury As Fort~V~orth continues to
grow, this problem will continue to increase at a dramatic rate. The purpose ofthis program is to
reduce the number of crashes occurring at intersections, and to increase the number of citations
issued In addition, this program will seek to increase driver awareness of the various traffic violations
which are contributing factors to intersection crashes through vigorous traffic enforcement activities,
media promotions and officer presentations All equipment for this program wilt be provided from
existing resources, and the State will reimburse the City for overtime pay and mileage expenses.
The funding period for this program will begin October 1, 1999 (or when all signatures are obtained on
the contracts) and end September 30, .2002.
The total contract cost of the ITC STEP is $359,058 TxDOT will provide funds in the amount of
$242,901, and the City will provide $116,157 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
