DISCUSSION
The State Department of Highways and Public Transportation has agreed to provide funds for the
program entitled Safe and Sober STEP (Selective Traffic Enforcement Program) Speeding continues
to be a major contributor to traffic crashes resulting in injuries and fatalities, not only on the state's
highways, but on all types of roadways Law enforcement entities now have the opportunity to focus
their enforcement efforts on those streets and roadways that have a high number of speed-related
crashes and/or experience high rates of noncompliance with the posted speed limits in addition,
Department of Public Safety crash data indicates drunk drive; s are major contributors to traffic crashes
and fatalities in Texas One of the best defenses against a dnank or speeding driver is a properly worn
safety belt. 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 funding period for this program will begin on October 1, 1998 (or when all signatures are obtained
on the contracts) and end September 30, 1999
