12. ACCEPT GRANT: OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY – TRAFFIC RECORDS\nIMPROVEMENT PROJECT – F2M23-18, M2M23-162\nThe goal of the Office of Traffic Safety and Selective Traffic Records Improvement Project\n(TRIP) is to assist the Alhambra Police Department in increasing its contribution to the\nOffice of Traffic Safety’s goal of improving overall roadway safety by providing accurate\nand timely data that roadway engineering improvements and traffic safety enforcement\noperations rely on. The Alhambra Police Department intends to utilize funding for the TRIP\nto upgrade an existing electronic collision reporting program to the latest version available\nthat includes the capability of exporting complete collision report records to the California\nHighway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System. The TRIP will allow the\nPolice Department to go paperless and save staff time needed to print and send physical\ncopies of the required reports, as mandated by the State of California. It will reduce the\ntime for statistical data to be available, which will allow for more timely identification of\nproblem areas, improving overall roadway safety.\nRecommended Action: City Council accept the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) grant\nin the amount of $24,800; appropriate revenue and expenditure funds in the amount of\n$24,800; authorize the Chief of Police to enter into a contract with the Office of Traffic\nSafety for grant implementation; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to\nfinalize Council’s action.
