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.

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.

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.

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.
