The projects and funding administered by GOHS were approved by NHTSA Region IX in the FY 2011 Highway Safety Plan (“HSP”) and subsequent revisions throughout the year. ACCOMPLISHMENTS STATISTICAL  In FY 2011, GOHS continued making progress towards reducing traffic fatalities across all programmatic areas. With the exception of pedestrian fatalities, which increased last year, Arizona realized decreases in all other programmatic areas.  Total fatalities in Arizona fell 5.46 percent in 2010 to 762, the lowest number in almost 20 years. In the five year period from 2006 to 2010, total traffic fatalities decreased 41.07 percent.  According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, Fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles of travel (“VMT”) decreased 5.22 percent to 1.27 in 2010 from 1.34 in 2009. This decrease eclipsed the national decrease of 4.30 percent.  In the last five years, fatalities per 100 million VMT have decreased 33.50 percent.  Alcohol-impaired fatalities continued to decrease, decreasing 11.01 percent to 194. Over the five year period from 2006 to 2010, alcohol-impaired fatalities decreased 51.38 percent.  Speeding related fatalities decreased to 245, representing a decline of 16.38 percent from 2009 and a 58.05 percent decrease over the last five years.  Motorcycle fatalities decreased to 92, down 23.97 percent from 2009.  Seatbelt use increased slightly to 82.90 percent.  Child safety restraint use increased slightly to 79.1 percent. Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 4 OPERATIONAL  GOHS participated in and completed a mandatory NHTSA Management Review of its operations for FY 2009, 2010 and 2011.  GOHS participated in and completed a mandatory NHTSA traffic records assessment and made changes to the structure of the Traffic Records Coordinating Committee to better manage and expend Section 408 funds.  GOHS advanced the grant calendar and for FY 2011, GOHS executed most contracts by October 1.  As part of the grant review process, GOHS began requiring grantees to make in-person presentations to GOHS staff on their agency’s grant proposal.  GOHS developed and rolled out a revamped and improved e-grants system which was online and available for FY 2012 applications.  In January and February, GOHS provided statewide training to more than 300 people on the proposal guide and modifications for FY 2012. GOHS Staff at DUI Task Force Kickoff  GOHS supported the “Buckle Up Arizona…It’s the Law!” campaign as part of the national “Click it or Ticket” campaign in May 2011 by providing $175,000 in overtime funding for traffic enforcement during the two week period. GOHS provided funding to 25 law enforcement agencies for this campaign and an additional 22 agencies participated without funding from GOHS.  GOHS participated in the national Labor Day DUI crackdown.  GOHS continued to emphasize the message of sober designated drivers with the “Get a DD…Not a DUI!” tagline in paid and earned media campaigns, in addition to GOHS’ “Drive Hammered…Get Nailed!”.  GOHS was the host agency for the annual Lifesavers Conference at the Phoenix Convention Center  GOHS updated its policies and procedures manual, the first update since 2003. The updated policies and procedures manual included sections on GOHS’ new project monitoring criteria and policies. Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 5  Utilizing Section 163 (BAC .08) and Section 410 funds, GOHS purchased 6 DUI processing vans for the Tucson Police Department, Scottsdale Police Department, Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community Police Department, Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Public Safety. All of the work on these vehicles was done in Arizona by Arizona companies with a total investment of approximately $1 million.  GOHS continued to work on developing and improving DUI Task Force Operations.  GOHS Staff participated in “Public Safety Days” at the Arizona State Fair, providing thousands of children and families invaluable traffic safety information.  Arizona was prominently featured in the National Geographic Channel’s Taboo program on alcohol abuse. Filming took place over last Labor Day weekend throughout Maricopa County with GOHS organizing and helping produce the television special. The program should air in 2012.  GOHS Director Alberto Gutier conducted dozens of television and radio interviews on topics and GOHS was mentioned in hundreds of news articles across the state. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION OVERVIEW 2010 data from the NCSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System (“FARS”) show that traffic fatalities in Arizona decreased 5.46 percent from 2009 to 2010. In the five year period from 2006 to 2010 traffic fatalities decreased 41.07 percent from 1,293 to 762.1 In order to meet the goals set forth in the FY 2011 HSP, last year, Arizona funded projects in the following emphasis areas:  Alcohol and Other Drugs / Youth Enforcement - To reduce the number and severity of crashes in which alcohol and/or drugs are contributing factors.  Occupant Protection - To increase the statewide seat belt / child safety seat (CSS) usage rate of motor vehicle occupants and to increase public information and education of the benefits of seat belt and child safety seat usage for adults and children.  Police Traffic Services - To achieve and maintain compliance with traffic laws such as aggressive driving, speeding and red light running. Enforcement must be consistent, impartial and uniformly applied to all street and highway users.  Traffic Records -To develop a comprehensive data processing system that brings together the engineering, enforcement, educational, medical, behavioral health, prosecution, judicial, correctional, and emergency response disciplines. 1 Note: Unless otherwise noted, all fatality and crash data referenced throughout this report is from Calendar Year 2010 data from the NCSA Fatality Analysis Reporting System (“FARS”) or from the Arizona Department of Transportation’s Motor Vehicle Crash Facts 2010 Report. Where applicable, Calendar Year 2011 data was utilized and noted. Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 6  Emergency Medical Services - To continue to support rural providers with emergency medical services (EMS) equipment.  Motorcycle, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Safety - To increase the public's awareness and understanding of and participation in motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian safety.  Roadway Safety -To improve traffic conditions in identified corridors and local jurisdictions by funding minor traffic engineering improvements, correcting signage deficiencies and promoting safety programs.

Stopping impaired driving and reducing the number of alcohol and drug impaired fatalities continues to be the number one priority of GOHS. In FY 2011, GOHS spent $4.1 million in overtime, equipment and training to law enforcement agencies across the state to enforce Arizona’s strict DUI laws. Total alcohol-impaired fatalities decreased in 2010 by 11.01 percent from the prior year and were down 51.38 percent in the five year period from 2006-2010.

In addition to enforcement by individual agencies, there are 16 DUI Task Forces that operate statewide. As of December 6, 2011, these officers have made 18,916 DUI arrests, compared with 19,353 in 2010. GOHS does not fund DUI Task Forces, rather the high performing agencies that constitute the DUI Task Forces Individual agencies and the DUI Task Forces conduct saturation patrols and checkpoints throughout the year with the most intense efforts during Holidays.

The efforts of law enforcement officers statewide have helped keep impaired drivers off the streets and have lead to a reduction in alcohol-related fatalities. In FY 2011, GOHS continued to use the “Get a DD…Not a DUI!” slogan designed to inform the public about the importance of having a sober designated driver in conjunction with GOHS’ enforcement oriented message of “Drive Hammered…Get Nailed!” in paid and earned media campaigns.

GOHS provided funding for sobriety checkpoints for the Tri-City DUI Task Force, Mesa Police Department, Tucson Police Department, Pima County Sheriff and the Peoria Police Department. Sobriety Checkpoint in Pima County Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 23 Above: Labor Day DUI Task Force, Scottsdale Below: Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery Speaks at Labor Day DUI Task Force Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 24 ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS GOHS funded grants for impaired driving enforcement from four funding areas: 1. 2. 3. 4. 402 – Alcohol and Other Drugs 410 – Alcohol Incentive 410 – High Fatality 410 – High Visibility 402 Section 402 – Alcohol and Other Drugs funding provided police agencies overtime to conduct DUI enforcement within their own communities and to partner in the DUI Task Forces throughout the state. Additional funding provided for the purchase of 202 Portable Breath Testing Devices (“PBT’s”) distributed to law enforcement agencies statewide enhancing their investigative capabilities of alcohol and drug impaired drivers. Utilizing Section 402 Alcohol Funds, GOHS renovated two DUI processing vans, one for the Peoria Police Department and one for the Surprise Police Department. GOHS also provided funding to the Mesa Police Department, Phoenix Police Department and El Mirage Police Department for refurbishments for their DUI Vans (new generators, interior conversions etc..). GOHS also provided the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office with funding to refurbish a DUI Trailer that was previously used by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. GOHS expended $1,248,923 in 402-Alcohol funds in FY 2010. 410 410 alcohol funding was provided for DUI enforcement overtime to 14 police agencies throughout the state to participate in saturation patrols, sobriety checkpoints and DUI task force operations. GOHS provided police agencies throughout the state with funding to purchase capital outlay to enhance their enforcement capabilities within their communities. The following capital outlay was funded in FY 2011: Phoenix Prosecutors at a a DUI Detail for the Dedication of Lee Campbell Memorial DUI Van Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report  Livescan system with laptop  Four in-car video Page 25 cameras  Two tough book computers for Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office booking  One DUI enforcement vehicle for Tempe PD  DUI and phlebotomy materials/supplies (PBT mouthpieces, blood kits, restraint chairs, DRE kits) Utilizing Section 410 funds, GOHS provided $133,440 to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department in order to enhance alcohol enforcement throughout Pima County. Overtime has been used for DUI taskforce operations, sobriety checkpoints, underage drinking and education to the public and schools. The successes of these programs have been clear and evident. Alcohol related collisions have decreased 30% during this contract’s operation period. Traffic related injuries and fatalities are down 20% as well and in part due to the Pima CSD’s stringent efforts. Utilizing Section 410 funds, GOHS provided initial funding of $118,949 to the Tucson Police Department for DUI and Alcohol enforcement. The success of the Tucson Police Department’s programs were met with an additional $50,000.00 to further enhance their existing efforts. 2011 saw 172 deployments from the Tucson PD which resulted in over 1,989 DUI arrests. TPD officers conducted over 4,010 traffic stops and issued over 4,490 citations. In part due to TPD’s efforts the last quarter saw a 25% increase in sober designated drivers. On a positive note Tucson also saw a slight decrease of 6% in alcohol related collisions as well. A part of the $117,603 awarded to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office goes to overtime for booking DUI suspects on-site and transporting to jail facilities. The capability provided by on-site booking facilitated more than 500 bookings during multi-agency DUI Task Force operations. Booking assistance from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Detention Officers reduced the time an officer was off the road when processing an arrest for DUI during several DUI Task Force details. Labor Day DUI Deployment Briefing Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 26 PHOENIXPOLICEDEPARTMENT–TARGETEDENFORCEMENTSQUAD One of the most successful GOHS funded programs involves the Phoenix Police Department’s Targeted Enforcement Squad (Party Crew Squad). For the second year in a row, GOHS provided Section 410 funding to this squad to conduct enforcement of underage drinking laws. Throughout the year, the Targeted Enforcement Squad conducted education at a number of valley schools and events in addition to conducting enforcement of underage drinking laws. In addition to partnerships with local resorts, the Targeted Enforcement Squad responds directly to a property when they become aware of underage individuals having parties with alcohol available. The Targeted Enforcement Squad searches proactively to locate rave events and party crew parties as both attract youth who drink and/or consume illegal drugs. The Targeted Enforcement Squad arrested 688 minors and 40 adults for liquor law violations at events where minors were present and consuming alcohol. A total of 37 citations in lieu of detention (Cite and Release) were served for DUI offenses, 13 adults were booked for DUI, and 84 citations were issued for DUI Offenses. Approximately 16 of the arrests had an operator under 21 and approximately 7 of the arrests were made with drug impaired drivers under 21. A total of 16 drug arrests included the seizure of 10.5 grams of cocaine, 51 oxycodone pills, 136 tablets of ecstasy, 33 grams of marijuana, and 1 gram of ketamine. The Targeted Enforcement Squad conducted enforcement at 90 different party crew and rave related events. In addition, the Targeted Enforcement Squad conducted 12 liquor inspections at liquor establishments as well as Hookah Lounges where minors were permitted entry and were consuming alcohol and/or permitted to purchase alcohol from the establishment. The Targeted Enforcement Squad has spoken or presented at a number of institutions and events in support of underage drinking/party crew awareness including Glendale Community College, Paradise Valley Community College, and OJJDP/PIRE via web seminar. 410 – HIGH VISIBILITY ENFORCEMENT Utilizing Section 410- High Visibility Enforcement funds, GOHS was able to complete the purchase of 6 DUI processing vans for the Tucson Police Department, Phoenix Police Department, Scottsdale Police Department, Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community Police Department, Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Public Safety. GOHS combined Section 410-HVE funding with Section 163 funding to complete this project. The total investment in these vans was approximately $1 million. Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 27 DUIPROCESSINGVEHICLES TRAINING GOHS prides itself on having one of the best DUI enforcement programs in the country. The strong enforcement wouldn’t be possible without a successful training program. In FY 2011, GOHS provided more than $110,000.00 in support of Impaired Driver training opportunities for more than 86 classes and 2,835 members of the national law enforcement community. Arizona is unique in the field of Impaired Driving for several reasons. The first of which is the Arizona Department of Public Safety is one of the only law enforcement organizations in the nation to require its officers to attend Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report DRE Class Hosted at GOHS Page 28 ARIDE training. A second reason is the partnership between GOHS and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in providing funding and a location for DRE Certification Nights. Maricopa County Sheriff Arpaio allows other state’s law enforcement agencies to send DRE candidates to the Maricopa County 4th Avenue Jail to train with the Arizona DREs and achieve certification. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office accommodated approximately 1,440 DRE candidates from 9 states and one country (Canada) during 103 Certification Nights. The following training classes funded by GOHS were held in FY 2011: HGN – 14 classes, 65 participants HGN Instructor – 1 class, 8 participants ARIDE – 28 classes, 580 participants DRE – 5 classes, 71 participants DRE Instructor – 1 class, 16 participants DRE Course Manager – 1 class, 8 participants DRE In-Service – 1 with 177 participants DITEP – 9 classes, 118 participants Phlebotomy – 6 classes, 61 participants Phlebotomy Refresher – 20 classes, 331 participants TRAFFIC SAFETY RESOURCE PROSECUTOR In FY 2011, GOHS continued to fund one full-time, tenured prosecutor as the Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor (“TSRP”). Currently, Beth Barnes from the City of Phoenix Prosecutor’s Office is Arizona’s TSRP. She has demonstrated the ability to network with her peers and members of the judiciary to utilize proven methods to reduce recidivism rates with impaired drivers. GOHS will continue providing funding to the City of Phoenix for the TSRP. Arizona’s TSRP program has four primary objectives: 1. Provide training The training will include curriculums developed by the National Judicial College, Arizona Supreme Court, APAAC, and NHTSA. Where applicable, additional curriculums will be developed in conjunction with the National Judicial College, Arizona Supreme Court, APAAC, and NHTSA. 2. Be a resource for prosecutors statewide 3. Improve communication; and 4. Be a liaison To achieve these objectives, in FY 2011, the TSRP continued to focus on two goals: (1) increase the visibility of traffic safety cases with prosecutors and prosecutors’ visibility with the traffic safety community, and (2) increase the confidence of prosecutors to go into the courtroom. Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 29 The Arizona TSRP, provided 173 hours of training during 87 presentations to approximately 4,628 prosecutors, law enforcement officers, crime lab personnel, and community groups such as MADD during the past fiscal year. She also coordinated speakers for five additional programs that occurred when she had a previously scheduled presentation. She responded to at least 747 requests for assistance from prosecutors, law enforcement officers and crime lab personnel during this fiscal year. The Arizona TSRP DUI Defense Expert Bank was maintained. Materials have been gathered 67 defense experts and 7 state experts. The materials were provided to the prosecutors to assist with their cases. Beth continued to maintain an e-mail list of Arizona prosecutors, officers and traffic safety professionals who desire to be kept abreast of DUI and traffic issues. By the end of the year, the list was comprised of in excess of 214 members. This is particularly significant when one considers the fact that there are only approximately 800 prosecutors in the entire state of Arizona. When new case law, new legislation, and other issues of interest arise, a notice was sent to the members of the group. MEDIA This past year under the direction of GOHS Director and agency PIO, Alberto Gutier, GOHS expended $120,000 in paid media campaigns promoting the joint messages of “Get a DD…Not a DUI!” and “Drive Hammered…Get Nailed!” theme. GOHS introduced the new message of “Get a DD…Not a DUI!” in an attempt to reach out and encourage sober designated drivers. GOHS Director Alberto Gutier supplemented a scaled back paid media campaign with an aggressive earned media efforts. Director Gutier conducted dozens of radio and television interviews in English and Spanish on topics ranging from DUI enforcement to seatbelts, prescription drugs and speed enforcement GOHS Director Alberto Gutier Giving an Interview with Ch. 3 (Phoenix) Section 410 funds supported billboard promotions, radio, television and print media. Last year, GOHS partnered with the Arizona Cardinals football club to promote sober designated drivers at Cardinals home football games and on the Cardinals radio broadcast. This year the Cardinals improved to be the fifth best team in the league for signing up designated drivers at home football games. GOHS is proud of the partnership established with the Cardinals and other statewide media to promote designated driving. GOHS Director Alberto Gutier conducts an annual press conference to kick off the Holiday DUI enforcement campaign at the State Capitol. This event is widely covered by local TV, radio and print media. Additionally, with GOHS’ online DUI reporting system, press releases during planned enforcement events are distributed to the media on a regular basis with updated impaired driving statistics from the previous evening’s activity, plus cumulative data. Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 30 These releases provide constant news reports on DUI arrests. GOHS Director Alberto Gutier is constantly doing radio, TV and newspaper interviews to expand on the reports. GOHS funding dictates that each agency receiving DUI enforcement funds conduct educational and public awareness campaigns in their respective communities. Print Advertisement In FY 2011, GOHS continued its partnership with the Arizona Cardinals Football team, promoting designated drivers and the enforcement message reminding fans not to drink and drive. As part of this partnership, GOHS is a cosponsor of the Cardinals designated driver program with the TEAM coalition, Hensley Beverage Company and Coca- Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 31 Cola. At home football games, fans have the opportunity to sign up to be a designated driver. Upon signing up, they receive a coupon for a free soda and are entered to win tickets to the NFL Pro Bowl. With this partnership, GOHS has an LED ad that runs along the sidelines during the game, signage in the concession area and messages during the radio broadcast reminding fans not to drink and drive. Arizona Cardinals LED Message Arizona Cardinals Concession Display Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 32 POLICE TRAFFIC SERVICES Speed related crashes continue to be a leading cause of all traffic fatalities in Arizona. In 2010, speed related fatalities accounted for 32.15 percent of all traffic fatalities. However, speed related traffic fatalities decreased 16.38 percent from 2009 falling to 245 deaths in 2010. Over the five year period from 2006 to 2010, speed related fatalities decreased 58.05 percent.

The following capital outlay was funded in FY 2011:       14 fully equipped motorcycles 145 speed detection devices (laser, moving) 10 tint meters Three digital speed display and/or data collection trailers Five digital message display boards Five upgraded police motorcycle helmets Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 33 Additional funding provided police agencies with the overtime to enhance their enforcement efforts in relation to speed, occupant protection, school zones, aggressive driving, bicycles and pedestrians. A variety of training related to these enforcement components was also providing to personnel throughout the state. GOHS provided Section 402-PT funding to the City of Mesa Police Department for the purchase of four marked police motorcycle packages to enhance traffic enforcement in the City of Mesa. The addition of four motorcycles enhanced the Department’s Traffic Enforcement Program to achieve goals of reducing alcohol and speed related vehicle collisions and fatalities. This equipment also provided Mesa PD with the resources to continue the pro-actively address the DUI problem within their community. GOHS provided Section 402-PT funding to the Gilbert Police Department for the purchase of one speed trailer to enhance selective traffic enforcement throughout the Town of Gilbert. The Gilbert PD implemented a portable radar trailer which was deployed within the school zone and neighborhood areas to assist in determining locations where actual traffic safety issues exist. The deployment the radar trailer supplemented ongoing enforcement actions during targeted location enforcement. Traffic speed survey reports generated by the radar trailer in reported speed violation the areas provided documentation for analysis and further enforcement activity. The radar trailer additionally provided the enforcement officers the ability to directly focus their efforts in the areas where true speed and safety concerns exist. GOHS provided Section 402-PT funding to the Flagstaff Police Department for the purchase of two fully equipped police package motorcycles to enhance selective traffic enforcement throughout the City of Flagstaff. The Flagstaff PD implemented the purchased motorcycles to enhance their traffic unit. The traffic unit participated in several internal traffic safety programs to reduce the number of collisions and traffic violations occurring within the city. The motorcycle officers aggressively addressed Gilbert Police Department Speed Trailer speed and other collision causing violations. The additional equipment improved the enforcement efforts of traffic safety laws intended to reduce death, injury and property damage and promote roadway safety.

GOHS provided funding to the Peoria Police Department for Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossing enforcement and School Zone enforcement, placing an emphasis on school traffic safety awareness and enforcement. As part of this program, an outdoor electronic billboard was utilized to display two different school safety messages which emphasized the importance of following posted speed limits in school zones and the need to stop when school busses are loading and unloading. GOHS provided the City of Phoenix Street Transportation Department with funding for 40 “Buckle Up – It’s the Law” signs near citywide high school parking lots. TRAFFIC RECORDS GOHS continued to work with the Arizona Department of Transportation (“ADOT”) and the Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (“TRCC”) to coordinate the collection and storage of traffic safety data. In FY 2011, ADOT spent $688,487 on traffic records projects, including the purchase of an SQL server, four laptops and twenty workstations to assist with the collection and analysis of Arizona traffic records. Additionally, ADOT renewed the license for AZTraCS which allows local law enforcement agencies to electronically collect and submit crash data to the state traffic records system and electronically collect and submit citation data to the Administrative Office of the Courts. In addition to providing funding to ADOT, GOHS provided funding to the Glendale Police Department and the Sierra Vista Police Department to purchase E-Citation systems. $31,000.00 was awarded to the Sierra Vista Police Department to purchase two E-Citation Systems. This purchase helped to improve intra-agency efficiencies between the Sierra Vista PD and the Cochise County Justice Court Precinct Five. This system not only allows officers to issue a citation from their mobile computer but allows the printing of the ticket in the patrol car as well. The driver’s license is electronically swiped and the information is automatically populated and merged between the Sierra Vista PD’s and the local justice court’s records. Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report Page 42 LOOKING AHEAD By all accounts, FY 2011 was a success for GOHS. GOHS met and exceeded most all performance goals, fatalities were down in almost all areas, citations for seatbelts increased and DUI arrests were up. As the leading agency in the state of Arizona dedicated to promoting traffic safety, GOHS looks forward to meeting the challenges ahead in 2012. In the next year GOHS will:  Continue to promote GOHS as the leading agency in promoting highway and traffic safety throughout the state.  Promote traffic safety through extensive enforcement, education and public awareness activities.  Maintain and enhance existing DUI operations, including task forces, saturation patrols and sobriety checkpoint deployments.  Continue to fund programs and identify strategies to reduce speed-related fatalities and injury collisions.  Continue to promote Arizona as the preeminent state for DRE and Phlebotomy through the enhancement of these programs.  Complete statewide training for grantees on the FY 2013 proposal guide.  Host a conference for law enforcement and prosecutors.  Continue to actively participate in National enforcement campaigns, such as the Labor Day DUI enforcement campaign.  Enhance and expand the Children are Priceless Passengers program.  Maintain or increase 80-82 percent seatbelt usage rate. GOHS is confident that it will continue to meet and surpass the goals and objectives delineated in the FY 2012 Highway Safety Plan and those enumerated above to reduce traffic fatalities in Arizona in the next year and beyond. GOHS is well prepared to meet these, and other challenges that lie ahead, to keep the public safe on Arizona’s streets and highways.
