Patricia Almeda 292-7058 Department: Monroe County Sheriff's Office Meeting Date: FER 21. 2100 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Monroe County Sheriff's Office Motorcycle Safety/Highway Safety Project Grant ITEM BACKGROUND: With the increasing number of vehicles on our roadways, combined with the fact that many of the drivers are from out of state and even out of the country, the danger to the motorcyclist is enhanced tremendously and the need for extra caution, safety, equipment and training is paramount. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office has found the presence of our motorcycle officers, in and around motorcycle and other traffic events, has a positive and calming effect on the other motorcycle operators and guests alike. By expanding our squad we will be able to show more coverage on the road and at events which could influence the riding public as well as the car motoring public to be safety minded and take greater care in operation. It would also allow us to involve motorcycle expertise in public awareness training and citizen workshops aimed at motorcycle and moped safety. We have found that motorcycles are much more suited to our traffic enforcement efforts as they are lower profile, quicker from start and more maneuverable. They are however much more inclined to cause injury to officers if they are involved in accidents. Better training and safety equipment for our motor officers would limit the likelihood of these losses and injuries. With this in mind, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office has put together a grant that will provide us with necessary equipment and training at no cost to the taxpayers. The grant is through the Department of Transportation and was encouraged by them to be applied for, as Monroe County is ranked #2 in motorcycle accidents.

Use the following major headings: 1. Statement of the Problem 2. Proposed Solution 3. Objectives 4. Evaluation 5. Milestones (Use form provided) State below and use continuation pages as necessary. Statement of the Problem Monroe County is in a unique situation as it is made up primarily of a chain of 43 islands served by a single highway. U.S. Highway 1, also known as State Road 5 nms from the northern tip of Key Largo all the way to the Southenunost Point in Key West, a total of 113 miles. It is the only roadway giving access to coveted destinations such as Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, and ultimately Key West. We have a year round population of 85,000 but support a total yearly population, due to tourism, of over 2.5 million. Many of our visitors come by motorcycle, as we have a year-round climate thclt is commensurate to motorcycle travel. With the increasing number of vehicles on our roadways, combined with the fact that many of the drivers are from out of state and even out of the country, the danger to the motorcyclist is enhanced tremendously and the nee.d for extra caution, safety, equipment, training and enforcement is paramount. Between the years of 1995 and 1997, we recorded 433 crashes involving motorcycl~s resulting in 497 injuries and 9 fatalities. Further analysis has shown that in 1998 and 1999 the number of motorcycle crashes in Monroe County has risen to 198 and 195 including 2 and 3 fatalities respectively, with 220 injuries each year. Motorcycle Crashes, Monroe County, 1995-1999 Motorcycle Total Year Crashes Injuries Fatalities Crashes Injuries Fatalities 1995 117 138 3 1,123 1,191 22 1996 135 154 3 1,185 1,290 21 1997 181 205 3 1,250 1,270 17 1998 198 220 2 1,275 1,268 27 1999 195 220 3 1,363 1,220 25 1 Sergeant and 8 Deputies currently staff the Monroe County Sheriff's Office Traffic Enforcement Unit. We currently operate 4 Police Motorcycles but would like to increase that number within the next year. We would like to train all 9 Traffic Deputies in the operation of Police Motorcycles. This would enable us to keep the motors in service even during periods of officer's vacation, sickness or injwy. We would like to increase our Motor Unit by 2 to a total of 6 motors, thus helping us to target high crash locations and help decrease the rate of motorcycle rider injuries. We have found that the police motorcycles are much more suited to our traffic enforcement efforts as they are lower profile, quicker from start and more maneuverable. . They are however much more inclined to cause injwy to officers if they are involved in accidents. We have had five officers involved in motorcycle accidents in the past 10 years and the overall cost of these accidents in loss of manpower, medical expenses, risk management and equipment has proven . to be overwhetming~ Better training and safety equipment for our motor officers would limit the likelihood of these losses and injuries. FOItM 5OO-<lss.ol SAFETY OGe ; 08lllg Mopeds are a main type of transportation here in our island communities, especially in the City of Key West. We will partner with Key West to either produce a series of videos to be distributed to local moped rental agencies, hotels, motels, guesthouses and local television stations or offer quarterly moped operators' workshops. The maximum attendance allowed will be 50 per class. We wjll teach operation and awareness to young and old riders. We would like to offer free helmets to anyone completing this scheduled training. Even though helmets are not required except for young riders, we feel they would add a degree of safety and awareness. We will coordinate our efforts with the present Community Traffic Safety Teams for extended saturation of information and for their input and assistance. The Public Information Office for the Sheriff will be responsible for the continued structuring of public service announcements targeting motorcycle/moped safety and car driver awareness. These announcements will be at least one per week distributed to every radio station and written media that will participate. Traffic Enforcement Operations: We believe there is a clear indication that enforcement of the speed laws pertaining to all vehicles, particularly motorcycles, is of paramount importance in lowering the number of fatalities and injuries we are experiencing in motorcycle crashes on our highways. Because of the difficulty of detecting and pursuing motorcycle violators, it is necessary to plan specific enforcement operations with equipment suited for that task. Operations will be primarily scheduled around events that tend to bring large numbers of motorcyclists to the Keys. Those events are, but are not limited to, the week prior to and the week after the Daytona Motorcycle Races, the wel?k of Fantasy Fest, the weeks of the Motorcycle Poker Runs, the weeks of Spring Break, the Toys for lots run and other yearly scheduled motorcycle events. It is the belief of the Momoe County Sheriffs Office that during these events a strong enforcement effort at the beginning of the week would set the tone for the driving habits of the riders. A consistent enforcement effort throughout the week would sena a message that we are serious about the safety of our residents and visitors alike. With the proper equipment and services we could show a consistent enforcement effort and impact the overall motorcycle riders' basic focus towards safety. We will conduct monthly traffic operations scheduled to coincide with major motorcycle events using our current Sheriff's Office Air Unit personnel in air-ground time distance speed observation in the areas of the county where current highway speed lines have been painted. In areas where motorcycle accidents are common, such as Islamorada where illegal passing is a consistent problem, the operations will target that violation. We will need to purchase airtime in a high fixed wing aircraft for the operation. Our pilots (we have 3) are all qualified in fixed wing aircraft however we only have a dual engine and a rotor wing aircraft that are not the proper aircraft for this type of mission. Additionally, we will need to purchase 2 certified stopwatches for this type of operation. The pilots will need to be trained in the use of these devices. F~M SOO-os~O' SAFETY OGc .08199 Obiectives To produce a video production on moped safety and awareness for operators, especially those short term renters of mopeds in the City of Key West. To gain assurance from the tourist industry to distribute and show these products to all who rent or buy mopeds in Monroe County. To conduct at least 26 (hi-weekly) public-awareness announcements on Key's Radio Stations. To conduct 2 rider safety training courses for motorcycle/moped operaturs. To conduct four (4) each, one each quarter, motorcycle safety workshops, high school on-campus awareness classes and awareness training for care drivers. To increase the pressure on careless, reckless and impaired motorcycle operators To conduct twelve targeted weekend air-ground speed operations throughout the Keys focused on compelling motorcycle operators as well as car drivers (who threaten motorcycles) to obey current road safety laws and ordinances. To train and equip all nine Traffic Enforcement Officers for the Monroe County Sheriff's Office in the safe and efficient operation of Police Motorcycles. Evaluation The Monroe County Sheriff's Office will evaluate the overall success of the project based on a comparison of yearly crash and enforcement data compiled by the Department of Transportation as well as the Crime Analysis Division of the Sheriff's Office. F~M SOO-oss.o, SAFETY OGe .Ol\lllg Proposed Bud2et The Monroe County Sheriff's Office is requesting federal highway safety funding from the Florida Department of Transportation to provide necessary equipment for us to adequately train and equip our motorcycle officers, schedule and carry out public awareness events, and institute consistent motorcycle compliance operations.
