B-4 v State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Introduction The Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) is the focal point for highway safety issues in Arizona. GOHS is a cabinet agency that provides leadership by developing, promoting, and coordinating programs; influencing public and private policy; and increasing public awareness of highway safety. The 2016 HSP is composed of seven sections – Arizona’s Highway Safety Planning Process, Highway Safety Performance Plan, Highway Safety Strategies and Projects, Performance Report, Program Cost Summary, Certifications and Assurances, and Section 405 Grant Application. The Planning Process (Section 1.0) discusses the data sources and processes used to identify Arizona’s highway safety problems and establish highway safety performance. It details, through thoughtful and thorough data analysis and problem identification, the progress Arizona is making in addressing its most significant behavioral safety problems, including impaired driving, speeding and aggressive driving, and occupant protection. These issues, which align with the national priority areas identified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), are linked through specific performance measures and targets to Arizona’s goal of reducing fatalities across all program areas in the Performance Plan (Section 2.0). Arizona’s EvidenceBased Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (Section 2.2) ensures that enforcement resources are used efficiently and effectively. The Highway Safety Strategies and Projects (Section 3.0) chapter describes the projects and activities the Arizona GOHS will implement to achieve the goals and objectives outlined in the Performance Plan. It details how Federal funds provided under the Section 402 (State and Community Highway Safety Program), 405 (National Priority Safety Programs) grant programs, and other funding will be used to support these initiatives along with Arizona’s traffic records system. Continued assessment and investment in the latter is essential for maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of traffic records data collection and analysis. The Performance Report (Section 4.0) focuses on Arizona’s success in meeting the performance targets for the core performance measures identified in the FFY 2014 HSP. The Program Cost Summary (Section 5.0) details the proposed allocation of funds (including carry-forward funds) by program area based on the goals identified in the Performance Plan (Section 2.0) and the projects and activities outlined in the Highway Safety Strategies and Projects (Section 3.0). The funding level is based on what GOHS estimates its share will be under the Federal grant programs for the 2016 Federal Fiscal Year. The Certifications and Assurances (Section 6.0) chapter includes a certification statement signed by the Governor’s Representative for Highway Safety. Section 6.0 outlines the measures the State will take to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and vi State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 regulations, and financial and programmatic requirements mandated under the Section 402 program. The Section 405 application Appendix D is presented in Section 7.0. Previously, national-priority safety programs were funded through a variety of Federal grant programs. Under the present Federal transportation funding legislation known as MAP-21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century), these grant programs (e.g., Section 405c Traffic Safety Information System, Section 405d Impaired Driving, and Section 405f Motorcycle) were merged into a single program, Section 405. In FFY 2016, Arizona is applying for Section 405 funds to address State Traffic Safety Information System Improvements, Impaired Driving Countermeasures, Pedestrian/Bicycle and Motorcyclist Safety. Arizona GOHS has expended or will expend all carry forward dollars on Sections 410 and 164 as suggested by NHTSA Headquarters. Arizona GOHS slogan and logo. vii State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Mission Statement GOHS, as the focal point for highway safety issues in Arizona, provides leadership by developing, promoting, and coordinating programs; influencing public and private policy; and increasing public awareness of highway safety. Above: Governor Douglas A. Ducey addresses the GOHS 2014 Statewide DUI News Conference at the Arizona Capitol. Below: GOHS Director Alberto Gutier opens the GOHS 2014 Statewide DUI News Conference. This yearly event, started by Director Gutier in 1995, increases awareness of DUIs, seat belt use, child seats, speeding, and emphasizes the enforcement of all traffic laws. viii State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 1.0 Arizona’s Highway Safety Planning Process Arizona Revised Statute §28-602 designates the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) as the appropriate agency to administer highway safety programs in the State. Executive Order 2004-24 designates GOHS as the State Highway Safety Agency to administer the Highway Safety Plan (HSP) on behalf of the Governor. GOHS produces the annual HSP to serve as the implementation guide for highway safety projects throughout Arizona. The HSP also is an application for funding through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Project selection is data driven and utilizes state and national traffic safety data (e.g., crashes, fatalities, injuries, citations, etc.). Knowledge of the Arizona political, economic, and demographic environments, as well as highway safety expertise on the part of staff and other partners, also are taken into account where appropriate. The three leading causes of death from vehicular collisions in Arizona are speeding and aggressive driving, impaired driving, and unrestrained vehicle occupants. Consequently, the majority of funding in the FY 2016 HSP is devoted to Impaired Driving, Police Traffic Services, and Occupant Protection. GOHS has established a channel of communication and understanding among the Governor’s Office, the Legislature, state agencies, political subdivisions, and community groups to address these and other aspects of the statewide highway safety program. 1.1 PLANNING PROCESS The GOHS will submit the HSP by July 1 to fund FFY 2016 grants on October 1, 2015. Programs starting on October 1 will be funded utilizing available carry forward funds until GOHS receives current year funding from Congress. 9 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Figure 1.1 below shows the Arizona Highway Safety Planning process.

All statewide law enforcement and nonprofit agencies are encouraged to participate actively in Arizona’s Highway Safety Program. In addition to the written notification, the letter and proposal Guide are posted on the GOHS website. Proposals are due to GOHS through the GOHS e-grants system at the end of February. Each proposal is assigned a number and pertinent information is added to an Excel spreadsheet. Meetings with the GOHS Director, Assistant Director, Comptroller, and Project Coordinators to review the proposals take place from March through April. During these meetings each proposal is discussed and the level of funding is 10 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 GOHS Grants Philosophy: Grants for Performance determined. These discussions are centered on the following Grants for Performance evaluation criteria:  Is the proposal eligible for funding?  Does the proposal address one or more of the priority areas identified in the proposal letter?  Did the submitting agency follow the guidelines set forth in the Proposal Guide; e.g., the agency provided:  – Data; – Statistics; – A cover letter signed by agency head; and – Other. Has the agency previously been included in the HSP? – If yes, how did they perform? – Were narrative and financial reports completed in accordance with contractual requirements? When evaluating grant applications, GOHS bases decisions on an agency’s past performance. If an agency exhibits poor performance – operationally or financially, the agency is less likely to receive funding. Conversely, GOHS rewards top performing agencies with additional funding if requested and needed. GOHS requires grantees requesting $100,000 or greater and nonprofit applicants to make formal presentations before GOHS staff. These presentations provide agency background information and an overview of the project request. This process allows the GOHS Director and staff to ask questions and better assess the grant application. GOHS’ policy is to fund all proposals that meet the criteria to ensure the HSP is representative of the entire State. Once the grants and funding levels are determined by program area, Executive Staff begin HSP development and Project Coordinators begin writing contracts so they can be mailed to grantees by early September. Agencies review grant contracts in September and gain approval (if necessary) from appropriate governing boards and councils. Once completed, the GOHS Director signs the contract and the agency can begin incurring costs pursuant to the grant contract. 11 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 1.2 GOHS ORGANIZATION GOHS is led by the Director, Alberto C. Gutier, who is appointed by and reports to the Governor of Arizona, Douglas A. Ducey. Mr. Gutier is supported by an administrative staff and grant coordinators headed by Assistant Director, Mari Hembeck and financial staff headed by the Comptroller, Megan Darian. The dotted lines in Figure 1.2 depict the Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor and Special Project coordinator. These two positions are supported by GOHS and housed in offices outside the GOHS office.

A broad range of data was analyzed, together with highway safety research and the expertise of GOHS staff, to identify the most significant safety problems in the State. The relative magnitude of the various contributing crash factors was reviewed and tracked over time, as were the demographic characteristics of drivers and crash victims and whether they used, or did not use, appropriate safety equipment. Sources of highway safety data and research used by GOHS include the following:  Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS);  National Occupant Protection and Use Survey;  National Highway Traffic Safety Administration;  Arizona Strategic Highway Safety Plan;  Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, Web Site Reporting System;  Arizona Department of Transportation, Information Technology Group;  Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division;  Arizona Department of Public Safety, Crime Lab Reports;  Arizona Department of Health Services, Health and Vital Statistics Section;  Arizona Motorcycle Safety Council;  Arizona DUI Abatement Council (state funds);  Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police;  Arizona Sheriffs Association;  Arizona Prosecuting Attorneys Advisory Council; and  National Safety Council. Table 1.1 below shows the relative importance of the various contributing crash factors and demographics to crash fatalities in Arizona in 2014. Table 1.1 Arizona Crash Factors as Percent of Total Fatalities 2014 Unrestrained Vehicle Occupant Alcohol Impaired Driving Speeding Related Pedestrians 34% 34% 31% 20% Motorcycle Drivers Age 20 and Younger Bicyclists 16% 11% 4% Source: ADOT. 13 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 These data show that speeding and aggressive driving, alcohol impairment, and unrestrained occupants are the three most important factors contributing to crash fatalities in Arizona. Therefore GOHS is focusing its resources to address these areas through the following Tier 1 program areas:  Police Traffic Services (PT) – 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.  Alcohol and Other Drugs (AL) – To reduce the number and severity of crashes in which alcohol and/or drugs are contributing factors.  Occupant Protection (OP) – 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/CSS usage for adults and children. Other conditions and contributing crash factors also are addressed in the HSP and are tracked through the following Tier 2 program areas: 14  Accident Investigation (AI) – To provide training and resources for vehicular crimes units to more effectively aide in the investigation and prosecution of fatal traffic collisions.  Emergency Medical Services (EM) – To support rural first responders with emergency medical services (EMS) equipment.  Motorcycle Safety (MC) – To increase the public’s awareness and understanding of and participation in motorcycle safety.  Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety (PS) – To increase the public’s awareness and understanding of and participation in pedestrian and bicycle safety.  Roadway Safety (RS) – To improve traffic conditions in identified corridors and local jurisdictions by funding minor traffic engineering improvements, correcting signing deficiencies and promoting safety programs.  Traffic Records (TR) – To develop a comprehensive data processing system that brings together the engineering, enforcement, educational, medical, behavioral health, prosecution, judicial, correctional, and emergency response disciplines. State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 1.4 PERFORMANCE MEASURES The primary highway safety goal for Arizona is to reduce fatalities across all program areas. GOHS tracks performance measures based on FARS data in combination with several other data sources to understand trends and set safety performance targets.

GOHS Reporting System for number of Seat Belt citations, Impaired Driving Arrests Made and Other Citations. a 2014 data is from ADOT. For yearly ADOT fatality data going back to 1984 and monthly data back to 2005, please see Figures B.1, B.2, and B.3 in Appendix B. b Five-Year Averages of fatalities are for 2009 through 2013, the most recent five years of FARS data. Averages for Serious Traffic Injuries, Percent Observed Belt Use for Passenger Vehicles, Seat Belt Citations, Impaired Driving Arrests and Other Citations are for 2010 through 2014. c In 2014, there were 565,827 citations issued for speed and aggressive driving which includes, speed not reasonable or prudent, excessive speed, speed not right for conditions, and reckless driving while speeding or other citations issued for other moving violations like red light running. Arizona is continually improving the capture of citation data recorded in our tracking system. State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Data Sources and Figure Explanation The following figures contain data from the following sources: Fatality Analysis Reporting System (“FARS data”), Arizona Motor Vehicle Crash Facts and ad-hoc data retrieval prepared by the Arizona Department of Transportation (“ADOT/ALISS data”) and the 2014 Arizona Seat Belt/Motorcycle Helmet Use and Driver Survey prepared by the Behavior Research Center and Preusser Research Group (“Seat Belt Survey”). FARS data were unavailable for 2014 at the time of publication. Since GOHS is committed to providing the most accurate and recent data available, ADOT data is included alongside FARS data in any figure where possible. For most performance measures FARS data and ADOT data match very closely. In these cases GOHS strongly believes that 2014 FARS data (from which HSP goals should be made) will match closely to the 2014 ADOT data and goals are made accordingly. However, some performance measures have FARS data and ADOT data that are consistently and significantly different. This is due to differences in defining how fatalities fall into a particular category. For instance, in the alcohol-impaired driving fatalities data, the ADOT data is consistently higher than the FARS data. GOHS uses this knowledge to predict that the missing 2014 FARS data will be lower than the 2014 ADOT data and sets goals with this in mind. The five-year moving averages in the following figures use FARS data for all years except 2014. The five-year moving average for 2014 incorporates 2009-2013 FARS data and 2014 ADOT data. In years where FARS data and ADOT data match closely this moving average should be quite accurate. In years where the data do not match as closely the average will be skewed slightly from what it would be had the 2014 FARS data been available. It is GOHS’ sincere hope that in the future FARS data will be available in a much more timely and accessible manner so that GOHS and the public can make proper year-to-year comparisons and goals without having to ‘predict’ what the final FARS data will be. 17 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Fatalities The total number of traffic fatalities decreased significantly from 849 in 2013 to 774 in 2014. Arizona had over 1,000 fatalities as recent as 2007; the trend of decreasing fatalities is tremendous news. Arizona’s population continues to grow quickly and this makes the decrease in fatalities an even better accomplishment. Figure 1.3 Traffic Fatalities Explanation of Fatality Goal-Setting Process In the 2015 HSP a goal of 828 fatalities was set for 2015. Due to the sharp decrease in fatalities in 2014, GOHS has revised the 2015 goal to be 774 fatalities with a goal for 2016 of 767 fatalities. We hope that in 2015 we can maintain the huge decrease of fatalities from 849 to 774 (a 9% decrease). 18 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Serious Traffic Injuries This is the second year serious traffic injuries have been included in the HSP. Previous versions of the HSP have instead included total traffic injuries. Since serious traffic injuries have not been tracked as far back as total traffic injuries, a five-year moving average before 2011 is unavailable. However, it is still apparent that there has been a slight decrease in serious traffic injuries over the past few years. Figure 1.4 Serious Traffic Injuries Explanation of Serious Traffic Injury Goal-Setting Process The 2015 HSP goal of 4,159 serious injuries is still valid. In 2016 GOHS aims to continue the decrease in serious traffic injuries to 4,035. These goals aim to continue the trend of decreasing serious traffic injuries seen in the five-year moving average, but do account for the likely increase in crashes and injuries from the anticipated increase in road usage due to a continued economic recovery. 19 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Fatality Rate In recent years the VMT has remained fairly constant as evidenced in Figure 1.5. The falling five-year average seen is due mostly to the high level of fatalities seen in 2006, which led to a fatality rate of 2.07 per 100 million VMT. Fatality rate data for 2014 were unavailable at the time of publication. Figure 1.5 Fatality Rate Explanation of Fatality Rate Goal-Setting Process Since 2014 fatality rate data were unavailable at the time of publication, the 2015 goal remains unchanged at 1.35. The goal for 2016 will 1.34 per 100 million vehicle miles travelled. These goals reflect a modest decrease in the fatality rate. 20 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Unrestrained Passenger Vehicle Occupant Fatalities ADOT data shows unrestrained passenger vehicle occupant fatalities have returned to the low level reached in 2010. The drop in ADOT fatalities should correspond to a similar drop in FARS fatalities. Unrestrained fatalities have decreased as seat belt usage in Arizona increased to 87.2 percent in 2014. Figure 1.6 Unrestrained Passenger Vehicle Occupant Fatalities Explanation of the Unrestrained Passenger Vehicle Occupant Fatality Goal-Setting Process The sharp drop in unrestrained passenger vehicle occupant fatalities has led to a revised 2015 goal of 230 fatalities. The goal for 2016 will be 222 fatalities. With the anticipated continuing increase in seat belt usage rates (see Figure 1.14), these fatality goals seem very achievable. The GOHS 2014 Annual Survey showed a seat belt use rate of 87.2 percent which is above the 87.0 percent national average. This has been accomplished even with Arizona being a secondary law state. 21 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Alcohol-Impaired Driving Fatalities ADOT data show that alcohol-impaired driving fatalities were flat between 2013 and 2014. FARS data are normally lower than ADOT data for alcohol-impaired driving fatalities1 so GOHS predicts that 2014 FARS data will end up close to the 2013 level of 219 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities. Figure 1.7 Alcohol-Impaired Driving Fatalities Explanation of the Alcohol-Impaired Driving Fatality Goal-Setting Process Arizona has some of the toughest impaired driving laws in the nation and is nationally recognized as having the best trained officers in the detection of alcohol- and drug-impaired drivers. Because of this strong enforcement GOHS has set 2015 and 2016 alcohol-impaired driving fatality goals of 218 and 210 respectively. 1 22 ADOT/ALISS data consider a fatality alcohol-impaired if the officer writing the crash report indicated impairment by any person involved in a crash (driver, pedestrian or pedal cyclist) whereas FARS data only count impairment if there is a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) from a driver of 0.08 or above. Thus those crashes where a BAC reading for a driver did not exist, but the officer wrote ‘impaired’, would be counted in ADOT but not FARS data. State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Speeding-Related Fatalities According to ADOT data, speeding-related fatalities decreased roughly 30 fatalities from 2013 to 2014. Prior to 2008 speeding-related fatalities were consistently over 400, which explains the sharp drop in the five-year moving average. Recently speeding-related fatalities show a shallow but continual decrease. Figure 1.8 Speeding-Related Fatalities Explanation of the Speeding-Related Fatality Goal-Setting Process GOHS is keeping the 2015 HSP goal of 259 speeding-related fatalities in 2015. The goal for 2016 is 251. GOHS hopes to continue the gradual decline in speeding-related fatalities. 23 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Motorcycle Fatalities Motorcycle fatalities increased slightly from 141 in 2012 to 151 in 2013, but fell sharply in 2014 to 127. Unhelmeted motorcycle fatalities account for the majority of this decrease. GOHS hopes this reversal of the 2010-2013 increase in fatalities holds in the coming years. Figure 1.9 Motorcycle Fatalities Explanation of the Motorcycle Fatality Goal-Setting Process Based on the sharp decline of motorcycle fatalities in 2014, GOHS has revised the 2015 goal to 127. The 2016 goal for motorcycle fatalities is 125. 24 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Unhelmeted Motorcycle Fatalities Unhelmeted motorcycle fatalities increased from 69 in 2012 to 83 in 2013, but fell to 58 in 2014. This sharp decline in unhelmeted motorcycle fatalities explains the majority of the decrease in motorcycle fatalities in 2014. According to ADOT’s 2014 Crash Facts, 3.1 percent of accidents involving a motorcycle operator with a helmet resulted in a fatality, while 7.5 percent of those involving an operator without a helmet resulted in a fatality. Not wearing a helmet almost doubles the risk of fatal injury. Figure 1.10 Unhelmeted Motorcycle Fatalities Explanation of the Unhelmeted Motorcycle Fatality Goal-Setting Process Due to the sharp decrease in unhelmeted motorcycle fatalities in 2014, GOHS has revised down the 2015 goal to 65. The goal for 2016 is 63. Unhelmeted motorcycle fatalities comprised almost half of the motorcycle fatalities in 2014. 25 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Young Drivers in Fatal Crashes The number of drivers age 20 or younger involved in fatal crashes has been very volatile since 2008. In 2014, drivers age 20 or younger were involved in 86 fatal crashes, a drop of over 30. Figure 1.11 Drivers Age 20 or Younger in Fatal Crashes Explanation of the Drivers Age 20 or Younger in Fatal Crashes Goal-Setting Process Based on the 2014 fall in drivers age 20 or younger in fatal crashes, GOHS has revised the 2015 goal to be 94. The goal for 2016 is 90 drivers age 20 or younger in fatal crashes. 26 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Pedestrian Fatalities There was virtually no change in pedestrian fatalities from 2013 to 2014. Furthermore, the level of pedestrian fatalities has remained fairly flat from 2010 to 2014. Figure 1.12 Pedestrian Fatalities Explanation of the Pedestrian Fatalities Goal-Setting Process A light rail system was opened in Phoenix in December 2008 and has been steadily expanded since then. GOHS hopes to continue to prevent pedestrian fatalities through implementation of the Arizona Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Plan and an enforcement program it started in 2014 to prevent pedestrians from crossing light rail tracks in unsafe locations. Other programs aimed at pedestrian safety target both children and adults in Arizona’s urban areas. Arizona and its major cities are vehicle dependent due to population growth and travel distances. Educating drivers and pedestrians in having mutual respect towards each other will go a long way toward reducing fatalities. Through these measures, GOHS hopes to decrease pedestrian fatalities from 157 in 2014 to a goal of 144 in 2015 and 136 in 2016. 27 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Bicycle Fatalities This is the second year that bicycle fatalities are included in the HSP. While bicycle fatalities are a small portion of total fatalities in the state of Arizona, they are certainly a focus of GOHS. Up until 2012, bicycle fatalities hovered around 20 fatalities. However, in 2013 bicycle fatalities jumped to 30 and there were 28 fatalities in 2014. Figure 1.13 Bicycle Fatalities Explanation of the Bicycle Fatalities Goal-Setting Process GOHS has set the goals for 2015 and 2016 to be 24 and 22 respectively. This will return bicycle fatalities closer to the level seen before 2013. Arizona and its major cities are vehicle dependent due to population growth and travel distances. GOHS will continue implementation of the Arizona Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Plan in 2016. Educating drivers and bicyclists in having mutual respect towards each other, coupled with enforcement programs, will go a long way toward reducing fatalities. 28 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Percent Observed Seat Belt Use for Passenger Vehicles The observed seat belt rate increased from 84.7 percent in 2013 to 87.2 percent in 2014. There has been a steady increase in the seat belt use rate since 2008 when seat belt usage was only 79.9 percent. Figure 1.14 Percent Observed Seat Belt Use for Passenger Vehicles Explanation of the Percent Observed Seat Belt Use for Passenger Vehicles Goal-Setting Process Based on the trend data shown above, GOHS has set the 2016 goal for observed seat belt use at 88.8 percent. This continues the steady increases seen since 2008. Even though Arizona is a secondary seat belt law state there has been a continual increase in the seat belt rate. Arizona has surpassed the national seat belt use rate of 87.0 percent in 2014. 29 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 1.6 ADDITIONAL DATA AND ANALYSIS GOHS analyzes a variety of other safety data as part of the problem identification and performance goal setting process. In particular, GOHS analyzes safety data related to who is being impacted (age and ethnicity), what types of vehicles are involved, where the crashes are occurring (counties), and when they are taking place (time of day, day of week, and month of year). These data are shown in the following series of tables. Tables 1.4 shows restraint use for vehicle occupants age 4 and under, while Table 1.5 shows restraint use for occupants age 5 and above.

These figures include occupants and non-occupants (pedestrians, pedal cyclists, and unknown non-occupants). GOHS can only impact two of the 23 tribes in Arizona with Federal grants because the sovereignty issue in GOHS contracts is not waived by the other tribes. GOHS attempts to provide grant assistance to other tribes, but has been told by these tribes they object to the grant reporting requirements of data including impaired driving arrests and convictions of tribal members in and around the reservations.

GOHS participated in the recent update of the SHSP which was released in 2014. The plan is data-driven and includes statewide goals, objectives, and emphasis areas which represent the state’s crash problems. The 2014 plan includes the following behavioral emphasis areas which are also addressed in the 2016 HSP:  Speeding and Aggressive Driving  Impaired Driving  Occupant Protection  Motorcycles  Nonmotorized Users (Pedestrians and Bicycles) The first four emphasis areas are associated with Arizona’s highest number of fatalities and serious injuries and have been designated by the SHSP Executive Committee as a top focus emphasis area. Fact sheets for the above emphasis areas are included in the following pages. It is clear from a review of the strategies section on each fact sheet that GOHS plays a major role in achieving a reduction in the State’s fatalities and serious injuries. The FFY 2016 HSP includes strong programs in these areas, which will support SHSP implementation. The GOHS Director is a member of the SHSP Executive Committee. Director Gutier coordinated with ADOT to ensure the performance measures common between the HSP and their Highway Safety Improvement Program, or HSIP, (fatalities, fatality rate, and serious injuries) are defined identically as coordinated through the SHSP. The Agency will use the HSP and its resources to support the behavioral emphasis areas included in the plan. GOHS coordinates the HSP with the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Targets for fatalities, serious injuries and the fatality rate must be consistent between the FFY 2016 HSP and the HSIP. However, the current HSIP does not include targets for these three performance measures. The HSIP will begin having targets in 2016, at which time GOHS will ensure that the HSP and HSIP targets are identical. 35 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 36 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 37 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 38 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 39 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 40 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 41 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 42 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 2.0 Highway Safety Performance Plan During the problem identification process, emphasis was given to assessing changes in severity over a five-year period or a reduction over the previous year’s data; whichever showed the most realistic incremental change for improved highway safety. While the HSP is a one-year plan, behavioral change takes time. A countermeasure instituted to address a particular traffic safety problem may not show measurable impact for several years or more. For this reason, GOHS establishes performance targets that reflect incremental but important gains in safety. Measured over a series of years, these reductions in crashes and resulting injuries and fatalities add up to safer travel for everyone on Arizona’s roadways. 2.1 HIGHWAY SAFETY GOALS FOR FFY 2016 Table 2.1 identifies the program areas, performance targets, and performance measures which are the focus of the GOHS HSP efforts for FFY 2016. The three national activity measures, are included, however no targets have been set for them. Arizona will report progress on the grant activity measures annually.

The GOHS has developed policies and procedures to ensure that enforcement resources are used efficiently and effectively to support the goals of the state’s highway safety program. Arizona incorporates an evidence-based approach in its statewide enforcement program through the following components: Data-driven Problem Identification The statewide problem identification process used in the development of the HSP has been described in Section 1.0; the data analyses are designed to identify who is involved in crashes and when, where and why crashes are occurring. Key results summarizing the problems identified are presented in the statewide and individual program area sections of the HSP. All enforcement agencies receiving grant funding must also use a data-driven approach to identify the enforcement issues in their jurisdictions. Data documenting the highway safety issue identified must be included in the funding application submitted to GOHS, along with the proven strategies that will be implemented to address the problem. Implementation of Evidence-based Strategies To ensure that enforcement resources are deployed effectively, law enforcement agencies are directed to implement evidence-based strategies using the data provided. The HSP narrative outlines Arizona’s broad approach to address key problem enforcement areas and guides the local jurisdictions to examine local data and develop appropriate countermeasures (using Countermeasures That Work and other proven methods) for their problem areas. Examples of proven strategies include targeted enforcement focusing on specific violations, such as distracted driving and speeding, or on specific times of day when more violations occur, such as nighttime impaired driving road checks and seat belt enforcement. High visibility enforcement, including participation in national seat belt and impaired driving mobilizations, is also required. Several mandated holiday enforcement blitzes are also included. The Data Driven Approach to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS) model and other strategies that use data to identify high crash locations are also proven strategies. By implementing strategies that research has shown to be effective, more efficient use is made of the available resources and the success of enforcement efforts is enhanced. Multijurisdictional enforcement efforts are encouraged and supported by the GOHS. Further detail on specific enforcement efforts can be found in each of the program areas. 45 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Continuous Monitoring Continuous monitoring of the implementation of enforcement programs is another important element of the enforcement program. Enforcement agencies’ deployment strategies are continuously evaluated and adjusted to accommodate shifts and changes in their local highway safety problems. Several methods are used to follow-up on programs funded by GOHS. The law enforcement agencies receiving grant funding are required to report on the progress of their programs in their activity reports. These reports must include data on the activities conducted, such as the area and times worked and the number of tickets issued. Funding decisions for subsequent years are based on the effectiveness of the implementation and performance of the enforcement project. Enforcement grants are also monitored throughout the year by the GOHS. Representatives of police agencies and associated Law Enforcement Liaisons (LELs); contact with enforcement agencies is maintained through meetings, conferences, grant monitoring sessions, phone calls and press events. Enforcement deployment strategies are continuously evaluated for their impact, effectiveness and modifications are made where warranted. A citation/arrest database is used to track and monitor enforcement efforts. Special projects are implemented as needed. 3.0 Highway Safety Strategies and Projects The Arizona FFY 2016 Highway Safety Plan (HSP) commences October 1, 2015 and ends September 30, 2016. It is a flexible working document that can be revised to accommodate necessary changes to existing programs, as well as to introduce new programs. It contains a statewide overview and detailed summaries of traffic safety data, as well as program and project descriptions and budgets for the allocation of available funding. Funding for FFY 2016 is estimated based on allocated amounts from prior years plus carry forward funding. The amounts listed with each project are estimates as of the submission date for this Highway Safety Plan. For FFY 2016, GOHS is utilizing the remaining carry forward Section 402 and 405d funding for some projects. Carry forward funding will fund Section 402 and 405d grants until all FFY 2015 funds are expended and new Section 402 and 405d funding is received. Additionally, GOHS manages funding from the Arizona DUI Abatement Fund. These funds are not programmed through the HSP and are addressed separately in Appendix A. 46 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 The GOHS philosophy and commitment is “Grants for The GOHS philosophy and commitment Performance”; in other words, is “Grants for Performance”; in other we treat every taxpayer dollar words, we treat every taxpayer dollar granted to law enforcement granted to law enforcement agencies, nonprofits, fire districts and city and agencies, nonprofits, fire county transportation departments with districts, and city and county respect. transportation departments with respect. All funds are devoted to improving safety on our roadways, and all grantees are required to report their progress and expenditures in a timely manner, in addition to quarterly and final reports of cost incurred. Our monitoring process is designed to fulfill our commitment to the public we serve and ensure State and Federal compliance with statutes, rules, and guidelines. Program Overview The number one predictor of traffic crashes is the amount of travel a state’s citizens experience. The more we travel, the more we are exposed to the possibility of crash involvement. Between 2006 and 2011, Arizona was among the states hardest hit by a severe recession and an increase in fuel prices. Exemplary law enforcement, training, education, and public awareness programs, together with the troubled economy, resulted in the achievement of dramatic reductions in fatal and serious injury crashes. Arizona’s economy has begun to stabilize and improve since the 2007 recession. In 2010, Arizona realized the beginning of a recovery, which resulted in more jobs, increased home values, and increased economic activity. With a strengthened economy and lower fuel prices, our citizens bought new vehicles. They traveled more often and for longer distances. As might be expected, congestion increased on our highways, and with increased exposure, crashes, fatalities and injuries began to increase. Despite the increase in economic activity, there was a tremendous drop in traffic fatalities in 2014 to 774. This fall from 849 traffic fatalities in 2013 is wonderful news. The following sections provide The emphasis areas in Arizona’s FFY details on the program areas, 2016 HSP include speeding and goals, performance measures, aggressive driving, impaired driving, strategies, task or project occupant protection, motorcycles, descriptions, funding levels and pedestrian and bicyclist safety, traffic sources.

Therefore, a summary budget is included at the end of each section. The emphasis areas in Arizona’s FFY 2016 HSP include speeding and aggressive driving, impaired driving, occupant protection, motorcycles, pedestrian and bicyclist safety, traffic records, accident investigation, and planning and 47 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 administration. GOHS used Countermeasures That Work: A Highway Safety Countermeasure Guide for State Highway Safety Offices, Seventh Edition, 2013 (CTW) as a primary reference aid in the selection of effective, evidence-based countermeasure strategies for the FFY 2016 HSP program areas. Citations referencing CTW provide the chapter and the section number (e.g., CTW, Chapter 2, Section 2.1). The citations are identified in the program/project descriptions and denote the effectiveness of the related countermeasure strategy where appropriate. Note: the effectiveness of GOHS administrative and management functions and activities is not evaluated or referenced. The seventh edition of CTW can found on the NHTSA web site at: http://www.nhtsa.gov/ staticfiles/nti/pdf/811727.pdf. 3.1 IMPAIRED DRIVING PROGRAM OVERVIEW Drivers and pedestrians impaired by alcohol and both legal and illegal drugs continue to be a challenge in Arizona. Reducing the number of alcohol-related fatalities, and injuries occurring on the highways remains a top safety focus area for Arizona. According to the NHTSA Fatality Analysis and Reporting System (FARS), in 2013, 219 fatalities involving at least one driver with a BAC of 0.08 percent or greater occurred. This represents a 4.8 percent decrease from 2012. Research shows sustained, long-term, highly visible enforcement coupled with effective education programs reduces impaired driving crashes and fatalities. Southeastern Arizona DUI Task Force. In 2014, Arizona law enforcement agencies made over 1,100,000 traffic stops and 29,000 DUI arrests. Though Arizona has some of the toughest impaired driving laws in the country, Arizona is experiencing an alarming increase in arrests 48 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 stemming from drug impaired driving. Prescription drug abuse is an epidemic, and “medical marijuana” is legal. As drugged driving has become more prevalent in Arizona arrests have increased dramatically, from about 700 in 2008 to about 4,200 in 2014. This increase is most likely due to the focus on drugged driving recognition (DRE) training for law enforcement. The State has a cadre of superbly trained officers in alcohol- and drug-impaired driver detection, but the challenges continue. Most law enforcement training in drugged driving recognition is through the advanced roadside impaired driving enforcement (ARIDE) course. This course is targeted to NHTSA Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) certified officers. The Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety provides continuing support for aggressive impaired driving enforcement. The law enforcement agencies work closely with Director Alberto Gutier and the GOHS office to communicate the impaired driving issues affecting their respective areas of responsibility. In turn, grantees collaborate with local schools, civic groups and media organizations for public awareness and education opportunities. Because of these working partnerships, GOHS uses data collected on the GOHS DUI reporting website to provide an effective distribution of funding in support of statewide impaired driving enforcement needs. In FFY 2015, GOHS allocated funding through 89 contracts to law enforcement and non-law enforcement agencies, county sheriff’s departments, the state highway patrol and other state agencies to participate in overtime enforcement details and purchase equipment to enhance impaired driving enforcement statewide, including participation in the national high-visibility enforcement mobilization over the Memorial Day holiday period. The purchase of Portable Breath Testing devices (PBTs), Intoxilyzers, Phlebotomy supplies, and mobile Dual Channel Blood Alcohol Analyzers equipment are essential to improve the efficiency of impaired driver processing in addition to decreasing the time an arresting officer spends out of service for processing. GOHS ensures mobility for the statewide impaired driving task force participants through the purchase of DUI Processing Vehicles. The vehicles are often conversion vans containing equipment, materials and supplies necessary to process an impaired driver. Such equipment often includes phlebotomy chairs, Intoxilyzers and booking capability to include LiveScan equipment. GOHS also provides funding for larger DUI Processing Vehicles to allow law enforcement officers the capability to process more than one suspect at a time in addition to providing space for officers with special training to evaluate and identify drug impaired drivers. The purchase of capital outlay equipment such as Agilent GC/FID Blood Alcohol Analysis equipment for the agency crime labs is a testament to the dedication exhibited by GOHS toward removing impaired drivers from the roadways. Current issues in impaired driving include not only alcohol but also drug-impaired drivers. The purchase of reliable, current equipment is necessary to process blood evidence collected from drivers arrested for driving under the 49 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 influence. Properly analyzed evidence is an important component when prosecuting an impaired driver. GOHS developed a strategic, statewide impaired driving task force which includes members from state, county, local, and tribal law enforcement personnel in addition to non-law enforcement agencies. The strategic task force works to increase impaired driver recognition training for law enforcement personnel and enhance enforcement efforts in addition to identifying best practices to increase public awareness and education about the dangers and consequences of impaired driving. The strategic task force coordinates with law enforcement agencies statewide to encourage the implementation of additional HVE impaired driving efforts such as saturation patrols, Wolf Packs, and Task Force details. Each agency schedules enforcement details specific to the impaired driving issues in their respective areas. Overtime details include sobriety checkpoints as well as saturation patrols and DUI Task Force details set up to address holiday and special event enforcement. Staffing for the overtime details includes full time officers, deputies and detention officers, who detect, evaluate, arrest and process impaired drivers.

After the holiday enforcement (Cinco de May, Labor Day, etc.), news releases summarizing the arrests and citations made during the activity are released. During the Thanksgiving to New Year’s holiday, these news releases are sent often to the media and they are used in a cumulative manner to show enforcement, citations, and arrests through January 2nd of the New Year. Figure 3.2 is a sample of the Arizona Statewide Memorial Day weekend DUI Enforcement Media Advisory (sent before enforcement begins). 51 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Figure 3.2 52 2015 Statewide Memorial Day weekend DUI Enforcement Media Advisory State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 Table 3.1 Performance Goals and Measures Performance Goal Reduce alcohol impaired driving fatalities by 2.8 percent from 216 (2009-2013 average) to 210 by 2016 Performance Measure Number of fatalities involving a driver or motorcycle operator with a BAC of 0.08 percent or higher. Strategies To combat the prevalence of impaired driving, GOHS devotes significant resources to overtime enforcement, equipment, and training for law enforcement officers statewide. Arizona’s impaired driving program utilizes enforcement, education, training, and public awareness to reduce the number of fatalities and injuries resulting from alcohol- and drug-impaired collisions. GOHS will pursue the following strategies in FFY 2016 to reduced impaired driving on our roadways. 1. DUI enforcement program; 2. Funding for equipment and supplies; 3. Training; 4. Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor; and 5. Public awareness activities. GOHS will continue to fund these proven effective strategies to reduce the number of alcohol and drug driving-related fatalities by increasing the number of DUI arrests, training law enforcement on effective tools and techniques, and regularly informing the public about the danger associated impaired driving and the threat of arrest for those who break the laws.

Description: GOHS devotes significant resources toward the training of officers in areas such as Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST), Drug Recognition Expert (DRE), Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN), DUI report writing and testimony, law enforcement phlebotomy, Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE), and Drug Impairment Training for Educational Professionals (DITEP). As a result, Arizona continues to be a national leader in the Drug Recognition Experts (DRE) program. Arizona’s robust DRE Certification Night program has proven to be successful, consequently Arizona provides training to law enforcement officials from other states and countries. Through FFY 2013, GOHS funded 75 DRE certification nights hosted by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement officials from 13 other states, and are now hosting the return of DRE students from Canada. MCSO collected almost 1,100 training urine sample in its assistance of certifying over 700 DREs across the USA. MCSO has 102 DRE certification nights scheduled for 57 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 2014, and has filled the calendar in 2015 with over 100 scheduled certification nights. For 2016, 4 States have already committed and reserved dates. During the last fiscal year, GOHS provided more than $160,000 in support of law enforcement training programs, including support for: travel reimbursement, training, books, materials and supplies, conference speakers in support of special training knowledge, and conference registration to provide necessary updates to the knowledge of Arizona’s DREs, as well as training for Law Enforcement Phlebotomists are all covered by GOHS. The increase in drugged driving arrests is most likely due to the focus on DRE training for law enforcement. DUI drug arrests increased more than 550 percent since 2008. The majority of law enforcement training in drugged driving recognition is through the advanced roadside impaired driving enforcement (ARIDE) course. This course targets NHTSA SFST certified officers. Approximately 1,250 law enforcement officers in Arizona have received ARIDE training since 2010. Arizona takes drugged driving impairment seriously and to date all DPS officers are mandated to attend ARIDE training. GOHS also conducts training for prosecutors and judges on DUI law issues through the Arizona Prosecuting Attorney’s Advisory Council (“APAAC”) and the Arizona Supreme Court.

According to FARS data, in 2013, 290 speed-related fatalities occurred, which constitutes an almost 4 percent decrease from 2012. Speeding-related fatalities made up 34.1 percent of all traffic fatalities in 2013. Throughout the year, the public hears about the number of persons arrested for impaired driving and wonders about the danger on our streets and highways posed by these dangerous drivers, but the public does not seem to perceive the danger posed by speeders. Countless tragedies are caused by excessive speed crashes, which injure and kill innocent people. Arizona’s wide thoroughfares are conducive to driving far in excess of the posted speed limit, changing lanes, tailgating, and passing dangerously on the daily commute. Some drivers ignore the most important rules of safe driving, which are common sense and courtesy. Law enforcement officers are aided by strong statutes governing speeding and aggressive driving. Arizona has a “Double Fine” program to reduce persistent speeding and aggressive driving violations in construction zones. The program provides for a driver license suspension when eight or more points are accumulated within a 12-month period. The “Double Fine” program also applies to speeding in excess of the posted speed limit in construction zones when workers are present. Enforcement deters speeders, but adjudication by prosecutors and the courts also is essential. Posted speed limits are not a 65 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 suggestion; they are the law. Reasonable and prudent speeds require drivers to realize the dangers posed to themselves and others while speeding. Arizona also aggressively prosecutes and adjudicates red light violators. In addition to providing overtime for Selective Traffic Enforcement (STEP), GOHS funds laser and radar guns, speed trailers, and aggressive driving vehicles for law enforcement agencies. Table 3.15 Performance Goals and Measures Performance Goal Reduce speeding-related fatalities by 12.9 percent from 288 (2009-2013 average) to 251 by 2016 Performance Measure Number of speeding-related fatalities. Strategies GOHS supports several strategies to reduce speeding, aggressive driving, and red light running. They include: 1. Law enforcement overtime; 2. Equipment purchases; 3. Materials and support for public information and media campaigns; 4. Training for project and program managers (Lifesavers Conference); 5. An annual public opinion survey; and 6. Program management support. Programs and Projects Project Title: Law Enforcement Overtime Project Number: Multiple project numbers are included under this strategy to provide consistency with GTS and the Arizona accounting system. Description: GOHS provides support for Selective Traffic Enforcement Programs (STEP), which are sustained traffic enforcement campaigns conducted by law enforcement agencies throughout the year. Participating law enforcement agencies enforce speed, aggressive driving, red light running, and DUI laws. Law enforcement funding is provided to: a) agencies with a proven track record of aggressively enforcing Arizona’s traffic laws; b) agencies with a high number of fatalities resulting from speeding or aggressive driving; and c) agencies implementing unique speed management and aggressive driving enforcement programs. This program provides support to 52 law enforcement agencies.

Some outreach is geared to older adults in the heavy early winter and spring travel periods, but all Arizona’s motorcycle facilities are spread among all groups of riders including young students traveling at excessive speed on highways and streets. GOHS also promotes the message of mutual respect in sharing the road and cautions all road users on the need to watch out for motorcycles. This message is included in awareness campaigns via paid media and other outreach efforts. GOHS works in tandem with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, AMSAC, Gold Wing Road Riders Association, and the Peoria Police Department to link new riders to specialized training conducted by qualified instructors. These efforts 73 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 provide motorcycle training, covering a wide range of skill levels from beginning rider to advanced, offered in communities across Arizona. GOHS hopes that linking more people to a wide variety of training options will lead to greater numbers of motorcyclists who will comply with licensing requirements, and practice safe driving to reduce injuries and fatalities. All funded law enforcement agencies throughout the state enforce motorcycle rider speeding, aggressive driving, and impaired riding. 3.5 CRASH INVESTIGATION PROGRAM OVERVIEW GOHS provides funding to support two strategies related to crash investigations and timely and accurate crash reconstruction of serious bodily injury and fatal motor vehicle crashes.

Table 3.33 Performance Goals and Measures Performance Goal Performance Measure Reduce pedestrian fatalities by 0.8 percent from 137 (20092013 average) to 136 by 2016 Number of pedestrian fatalities. Reduce bicyclist fatalities 4.4 percent from 23 (2009-2013 average) to 22 by 2016 Number of bicycle fatalities. Strategies The four strategies supporting this program include: 1. Enforcement; 2. Equipment; 3. Education and awareness services; and 4. Signage to protect pedestrians and bicyclists. Programs and Projects Project Title: Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Enforcement Program Project Number: Five project numbers are included under this strategy to provide consistency with GTS and the Arizona accounting system. Description: GOHS provides overtime funding for selected agencies representing cities with identified problems, such as speeding through school zones and crashes involving motor vehicles and pedestrians and bicycles. These 77 State of Arizona Highway Safety Plan FFY 2016 agencies participate in “Wolf Pack” enforcement details within their communities to aggressively enforce school zone and pedestrian traffic laws. Since April 14, 2014 the Phoenix Police Department in conjunction with the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety have been improving the overall safety for the pedestrians who frequent the light rail public transit system. The goal of this Pedestrian Safety Program is to reduce the number of pedestrians who illegally cross the light rail tracks/guideway. This will be accomplished by specifically targeting pedestrians illegally crossing the light rail tracks through education and enforcement. Since the start of this program officers have issued 1,458 citations, of these citations 1,281 have been issued for pedestrians crossing the light rail tracks illegally. The remaining citations were issued for 63 other light rail violations, 50 hazardous/moving violations, and 64 non-hazardous/non-moving traffic violations. This program has also resulted in 22 arrests, 5 departmental reports, and 257 quality service opportunities/educational contacts.

The data are critical for identifying problem areas in need of attention by GOHS and its partners. ADOT’s Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) collects, manages, and analyzes traffic records data for GOHS. With funding from GOHS, MVD, and the Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (TRCC) maintain the database on motor vehicle fatalities and injuries. Arizona made great strides in data processing improvement including the redesign of the Crash Report Form and the implementation of AZ TraCS (Traffic and Criminal Software) for data collection. The TRCC, at the direction of GOHS and ADOT, continue to work on a number of projects to enhance data collection. No projects have been approved under the traffic records program at the time of publication. Projects that meet the strategies and goals of this program area will be evaluated as needed throughout the fiscal year.
