Appendix E iv v 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As FY 2011 comes to a close, we can look back on some significant accomplishments and look forward to addressing the challenges of FY 2012. The overwhelming good news is that Oklahoma is on track for continued reductions in traffic fatalities. After a peak of 803 fatalities in 2005, we have seen steady reductions each year to the current 668 (early state and 2010 estimates. Alcohol impaired occupant fatalities have decreased from 242 in 2008 to 235 in 2009 (FARS). We are continuing to address our seat belt use rate with an aggressive, multifaceted program. Under the direction of a full time Law Enforcement Occupant Protection Specialist, law enforcement agencies, traffic safety advocates, educational professionals and local media outlets, the OHSO continues to implement the provisions of a statewide occupant protection plan. Concentrating primarily on central Oklahoma, we are forging new coalitions; creating new partnerships and developing new focused law enforcement initiatives. Our efforts are beginning to pay off. Unrestrained occupant fatalities decreased from 338 in 2008 to 306 in 2009, with early 2010 estimates indicating a continuation of that downward trend. Although our most recent survey shows the current use rate remained unchanged at 89.5%, the rate for the metropolitan Oklahoma City area, the focus of most of our recent efforts, has increased. Central to our effort is the ―Clicks on Route 66‖ program. The program is designed to increase awareness along that fabled corridor and to leverage law enforcement efforts through joint checkpoints and saturation patrols. The program has proven popular and is being expanded to include the states of Illinois, Missouri, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. It is our belief that with this traditional combination of education, awareness and enforcement, we will continue to a positive impact on Oklahoma‘s seat belt use rate. Unfortunately, certain specific categories of traffic collisions are not as favorably represented. As motorcycle registrations in our state continue to dramatically increase, we are challenged to hold the line on fatal motorcycle collisions. Motorcycle fatalities increased from 89 in 2008 to 108 in 2009. In FY 2010 we partnered with the Edmond Police Department to develop a statewide motorcycle safety and awareness program. That project has shown tremendous potential and in FY 2012 we are expanding it to include the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Broken Arrow Police Department. The state‘s Motorcycle Safety Advisory Committee is fully functioning and has a dedicated funding stream which should significantly increase our ability to impact motorcycle safety. The good news is that early state estimates indicate a significant downturn in motorcyclist fatalities for 2010. Since 2005, the number of persons killed in alcohol related collisions has remained relatively constant. In 2009 we experienced 235 fatalities compared to 232 in 2005, a 1.3% increase. The average for the past 5 years has been 226. While maintaining our core impaired driving support programs, we are dramatically increasing the number of law enforcement agencies conducting impaired driving prevention projects. Beyond our statewide Section 410 program involving the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Oklahoma County Sheriff‘s Office, we are working with approximately 50 local and county law enforcement agencies in order to reduce the number of Oklahomans affected by this most preventable of collisions. 2 We are continuing our ‗targeted community‘ approach to high collision areas of the state initiated in FY 2009. However, beginning FY 2012 we will be focusing our efforts on high collision corridors, regardless of jurisdiction. Working with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the State will be designating certain roadways as ―High Collision Corridors‖. Through coordination of state, county and local resources, it is our intent to enforce, educate and engineer collision solutions along these corridors. The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office is proud of the significant accomplishments of our partners in recent years and we look forward to addressing future challenges. We believe our FY 2012 Highway Safety Plan to be a sound, comprehensive approach to reducing fatal and serious injuries from traffic related collisions. Legislative Issues During the most recent session of the Oklahoma legislature, 1st of the 53nd, many bills were introduced in an effort to improve traffic safety in Oklahoma. OHSO supported legislation directed at impaired drivers, distracted driving and improved occupant protection. A review of legislation enacted during FY 2011 will be included in the FY 2011 Annual Report. In the upcoming session, 2nd of the 53rd, it is our intent to work with the Department of Public Safety‘s legislative staff to generate support in two major categories; distracted driving and occupant protection. It is our belief that increasing fines for failure to wear seat belts will be the most effective means of reducing unrestrained fatalities in Oklahoma. Although impaired driving related fatalities remain relatively unchanged in recent years, we believe the current laws are sufficient and intend to focus our resources on increased enforcement and awareness as major impaired driving countermeasures. 3 OKLAHOMA HIGHWAY SAFETY OFFICE VISION Create and maintain an environment where Oklahoma roadways are safe for everyone VALUES Integrity Service Excellence PRINCIPLES Credibility Teamwork People MISSION To combat the number and severity of traffic crashes by developing and supporting educational, enforcement, and engineering programs 4 5 FY 2012 PERFORMANCE PLAN 6 Oklahoma Demographics Oklahoma ranks 18th in size with a land area of 68,6671 square miles and is located almost in the center of the United States. It is bordered by Texas to the south, Arkansas and Missouri to the east, Kansas and Colorado to the north and New Mexico and Texas to the west. Western Oklahoma, mostly in the Panhandle, is the Great Plains Region and is flat with few trees and water. The central two-third of the State is the Osage Plains with gently rolling hills, broken up by the Wichita Mountains and the Arbuckle Mountains in the southwest. The Gypsum Hills are to the west. The Ozark Plateau in the northeastern corner of the State is a green, hilly region with streams cutting steep valleys into the limestone formations. The Arkansas Valley is to the south of the Ozark Plateau. The Ouachita Mountains in the southeast are mostly sandstone ridges separated by narrow valley. Along the Red River in the southeastern part of the State is the West Gulf Coastal Plain. Oklahoma‘s roadway system of 113,1472 total miles includes 669 miles of Interstate, 559 miles of Turnpike, 11,601 miles of State and Federal Highways, 284 miles of State Park roads, 86,665 miles of county roads, and 12,865 miles of local city streets.3 The 2010 Census shows Oklahoma‘s population increased by over 300,000 (8.7%) to a total population of 3,751,351 in 77 counties. Sixty-five percent of the state‘s population is urban and 35 percent is rural. During the past decade, Oklahoma‘s growth rate was 9.7 percent. Descendants from the original 67 tribes living in Indian Territory still live in Oklahoma. Thirty-five of the Indian tribes currently living in Oklahoma are headquartered in the state. Racial categories from Census 2010 show the following counts for Oklahoma: White only-72.2%, American Indian/Alaska native only- 7.4%, Black/African American only-7.4%, Asian only-1.7%, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander only 0.1%. The Hispanic or Latino Origin population increased by 85.2% from 1990 to 2010. There were 3,882,026 registered vehicles in Oklahoma in 2010 with 74.1% (2,887,797) registered automobiles. Motorcycle registrations have increased dramatically. Since 2005 registrations have increased from 81,693 to 124,926 in 2010; a 53% increase! There were 2,533,888 licensed drivers in Oklahoma in 2010.4 There are 152 hospitals in Oklahoma with 104 hospitals licensed in the category of traumas and emergency operative services.5 In addition to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, there are 338 police departments, 77 sheriff offices, and 36 campus police departments.6 The State of Oklahoma ranks as the largest employer in Oklahoma, followed by Wal-Mart/Sam‘s Club and Tinker Air Force Base. Wal-Mart/Sam‘s Club ranks as a Fortune 500 player with a large Oklahoma presence.7 1 Oklahoma Crash Facts. 2010 Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, Oklahoma Highway Safety Office. 2 Oklahoma Crash Facts. 2010 Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, Oklahoma Highway Safety Office. 3 Oklahoma Total Road Mileage: Mileage as of December 31, 2000.

September 8, 2010 7 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION PROCESS The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety maintains a database of crash records as reported by law enforcement agencies throughout Oklahoma. This database includes crashes resulting in injury, death or property damage of $500 or more. Non-traffic crashes occurring on private or public property are also included in this database, but are not used in analysis. Data elements included relate to information on vehicles, roadways, crash circumstances, drivers, passengers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists involved in these crashes. The OHSO Data Analyst prepares an annual Crash Facts book analyzing collisions for the most recent and past several years of state data. Traffic collisions are organized into a variety of classifications; i.e. KAB [Fatalities, Incapacitating Injuries, Non- Incapacitating Injuries], Fatal, Unsafe Speed, Alcohol/Drug-Related, Motorcycle, Pedestrian, and Bicycle. An in-depth analysis is done to determine primary causation, location, contributing factors, vehicle type, time of day, day of week, age, gender, etc. This information is applied to each county and city in Oklahoma with a population of over 5,000. While this analysis allows for in depth planning and program countermeasures, for uniformity FARS data alone are used to define the state‘s goals in the annual Highway Safety Plan and Performance Plan. Every effort is made to ensure that state data and FARS data are consistent in comparable categories. Each classification of traffic collisions is analyzed in order to establish priorities for program implementation and include: Change in collisions, fatalities, and injuries from the previous year 5-year trend of collisions, fatalities, and injuries Trend charts of collisions, fatalities, and injuries Tables with actual numbers of collisions, fatalities, and injuries Comparison of rural and urban collisions Causes of collisions Comparison of counties‘ collision rates per VMT and actual collision numbers Comparison of cities‘ collision rates per VMT and actual collision numbers Comparison of actual number of persons killed and injured Data and other information are discussed, reviewed, analyzed, and evaluated among the various agencies to pinpoint specific traffic safety problems. Fatal and serious injury crashes on Oklahoma‘s streets and highways are identified as primary traffic safety problems based on the problems identified through the above process, OHSO recommends specific countermeasures that can be implemented to promote highway safety in an effort to reduce the incidence and severity of traffic crashes in the State. FARS data and data obtained from the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety database are compared to determine omissions and inaccuracies to improve the data quality. Population data are derived from the latest census information collected by the U.S. Census Bureau and published by the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. Population data are 8 evaluated each year, based on the latest census and are considered in the development of the Problem Identification. A Traffic Records Assessment was conducted in November 2009 and the Oklahoma Traffic Records Council used this report to establish new goals to improve our traffic records program. Those goals are reviewed and amended as necessary on an annual basis. Much improvement is being made in traffic records in Oklahoma due to funds earmarked for traffic records through SAFETEA-LU legislation. LIST AND DESCRIPTION OF DATA SOURCES Fatality and Other Crash Reports The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS) collects fatality and other crash reports. The majority of collision reports are received as paper copies and are manually input by the Records Management Division into the DPS mainframe computer. Recent improvements have allowed for electronic submission by all OHP troopers and in CY 2010, several select communities began submitting reports via the Internet. The data are then downloaded into a DB2 server where the analyst can access the data. Data are analyzed using SPSS software. Very recent improvements allow for all electronic collision reports to be submitted to the University of Oklahoma for uniform formatting and error checking prior to submitting to DPS. Occupant Protection Surveys The University of Central Oklahoma is our contractor for the State’s annual occupant protection and child restraint surveys. Their first survey for this office has recently been conducted and the results are being analyzed at the time of this publication. Although the survey results are included in this document, they were not available to be considered during our Problem Identification process. Historical data have been used to establish future benchmarks. Safety belt and child restraint surveys are conducted each year using NHTSA‘s approved methods to determine the State‘s use rate. It is our intent to conduct another motorcycle helmet use observational surveys in FY 2012. Results of the FY 11 survey will be discussed in the FY 11 Annual Report. FARS For consistency, the most recently available FARS data (2009) are used to establish OHSO’s performance measures. That information, supplemented by DPS injury and Oklahoma Tax Commission vehicle mileage data, is used to set future goals and evaluate past progress. DPS and FARS data are regularly evaluated for accuracy and if discrepancies are found, research is conducted to determine the cause and necessary corrections are made. 9 Crash Rates The Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the Oklahoma Tax Commission provide vehicle miles traveled for the entire State and each county within Oklahoma. Population data are obtained from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. Crash, Fatality, and injury rates for counties and for the state are computed using vehicle miles traveled and population. 10 11 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION The Oklahoma Highway Safety Offices uses a variety of data sources in order to define our collision challenges. The following performance charts are based on 5 years of final FARS data, unless otherwise noted. State projections for the current and previous year are included to provide insight with regard to previously established performance measures. 12 13 The number of fatalities in traffic crashes in Oklahoma has steadily decreased over the past five years (2005 – 2009). For that time frame, fatalities have decreased 8% and early state estimates for 2010 indicate continued decreases. State data indicate an increase in serious injuries over 2009; however, the 6 year trend line suggests a continuation of the overall decreases since 2005. Since that year we have experienced a 5.4% reduction. The trend line indicates we are right on target for our 2011 goal projection. 17505 17488 17663 16458 16077 16557 15910 15000 15500 16000 16500 17000 17500 18000 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Number of Serious Injuries (state data) Injuries Goal Performance Trend 803 765 766 750 738 734 726 680 700 720 740 760 780 800 820 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Fatality Trend Fatalities Goal Performance Trend 14 Oklahoma‘s fatality rate per 100 million VMT increased somewhat for 2009, even though the number of fatalities continues to drop. Our most recent rate of 1.57 is well below the rate of 1.71 in 2005. The trend line suggests continued decreases for 2010 and right in line with our 2010 and 2011 goal projections. Fatalities in alcohol-impaired traffic crashes increased steadily from 2006 to 2008. Oklahoma experienced a decrease from 242 in 2008 to 235 in 2009. The trend line suggests a slight increase for 2010. 1.71 1.57 1.61 1.55 1.57 1.52 1.51 1.35 1.40 1.45 1.50 1.55 1.60 1.65 1.70 1.75 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Fatality Rate per 100 Million VMT Fatality Rate Goal Performance Trend 232 199 223 242 235 239 239 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Alcohol-Impaired Driving Fatalities Based on All Involved Drivers & Motorcycle Operators with .08+ BAC Fatalities Goal Performance Trend 15 Fatalities in speed-related crashes decreased 27.3% from 2005 to 2007. This significant reduction places the slight increases in 2008 and 2009 out of perspective. Over the past 5 years the number of people fatally injured in speed related collisions has decreased by 20.1%. The trend line suggest our goals for 2010 and 2011 are achievable. The number of unrestrained fatalities decreased significantly from 2005 to 2009. This drop from 378 to 306 represents a 19.0% reduction. The latest FARS data (2009) indicate a reduction from 338 in 2008 to 306 in 2009 (9.5%).The trend line suggests reductions well below our 2010 and 2011 projections. 293 269 213 221 234 217 214 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Speed-Related Fatalities Fatalities Goal Performance Trend 378 351 318 338 306 331 328 200 250 300 350 400 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Unrestrained Passenger Vehicle Occupant Fatalities Fatalities Goal Performance Trend 16 Unfortunately, the number of motorcyclist fatalities in Oklahoma continues to increase. With the ever increasing number of motorcycle registrations in Oklahoma, our goal of maintaining fatalities at the 2008 level has proven to be a challenge. Although we saw a 21.3% increase in 2009, early 2010 figures (state) reflect a significant decrease. The number of un-helmeted motorcyclist fatalities increased steadily from 2006 to the present (2009). Just as motorcycle fatalities have increased, so have un-helmeted fatalities; fortunately, early 2010 (state) data indicate a decrease for 2010. 77 64 76 89 108 86 86 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Motorcyclist Fatalities Fatalities Goal Early State Performance Trend 58 48 52 65 78 63 63 0 20 40 60 80 100 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Unhelmeted Motorcyclist Fatalities Fatalities Goal Early State Performance Trend 17 The number of drivers under age 21 involved in fatal crashes continue to decrease. Since 2005, drivers under age 21 fatally injured in collisions has decreased 23.3% from 150 to 115 in 2009. Trend line suggests a continued decrease. Pedestrian fatalities decreased from 50 in 2008 to 31 in 2009, a 38% decrease. With the exception of a spike in 2007, they have steadily decreased since 2005. The trend line suggests continued decreases. 150 135 129 139 115 137 136 50 70 90 110 130 150 170 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Drivers Under 21 in Fatal Crashes Drivers Goal Performance Trend 50 46 67 50 31 50 49 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Pedestrian Fatalities Fatalities Goal Performance Trend 18 Seat belt use rates in Oklahoma ‗plateaued‘ between 2006 and 2009, with very little change. In early 2010, we implemented an aggressive enforcement and awareness program to increase Oklahoma belt use and experienced an increase to 85.9%. However, our most recent survey indicates no change over 2010. Oklahoma‘s CPS use rate has remained relatively unchanged since 2006. Between that date and the most recent survey (2010), we show a slight reduction from 86.7% to 85.5% (1.2%). It is our belief that changes to our CPS program during FY 10 and FY 11 will result in an increase. 82.7% 86.7% 85.4% 85.0% 86.3% 85.5% 70.0% 75.0% 80.0% 85.0% 90.0% 95.0% 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Child Restraints Child Restraint Use Performance Trend 83.1% 83.7% 83.1% 84.3% 84.2% 85.9% 85.9% 81.0% 82.0% 83.0% 84.0% 85.0% 86.0% 87.0% 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Safety Belt Use Rate Safety Belt Use Performance Trend 19 HIGHWAY SAFETY PLANNING PROCESS The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office (OHSO) provides leadership and coordination for Oklahoma=s traffic safety efforts. The OHSO continues to expand partnerships, while maintaining and energizing current partners. The core of our process is the staff of the OHSO. Our partners include state agencies, state, county and local law enforcement agencies, as well as a variety of traffic safety advocacy and minority concern groups. The process is a circle, with no beginning and no end. At any one point in time, the OHSO may be working on the last fiscal year, the current year, and the next year. The OHSO Data Analyst prepares an annual Crash Facts publication and a Problem Identification based on at least four years of state crash data and an estimation of the immediate past year‘s crash data in order to determine the nature of our traffic safety challenges. Following analysis of the data, the Data Analyst provides a ranking of cities and counties where the data indicates the problems occur. This allows OHSO to look at the problems, where they occur, and provide programs and services where the need is greatest. The Problem Identification and the annual Crash Facts Book are used by many highway safety professionals to evaluate what traffic safety priority areas need emphasis. Numerous applicants for traffic safety grants do, and must, use statistical problem identification to support their applications. The concerns of highway safety partners are heard and discussed at conferences, workshops, and meetings. During special emphasis periods, surveys may be sent to appropriate agencies to ascertain priorities for the coming year. Several national level agencies, such as MADD, have rate-the-state reviews. The OHSO considers such evaluations. OHSO‘s Problem Identification data are used for internal processes, such as application evaluation, ranking and program selection. Annual goals are established using the latest FARS data (or State data in the absence of specific FARS data). The OHSO is an active member of the Oklahoma Traffic Records council, which is vital to traffic safety-related discussions and improvement efforts. Participants are State agencies, such as the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS), Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC), and the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). Organizations such as the Oklahoma City and Tulsa Police Departments, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) also are represented. Ideas from those and other agencies are received on a regular basis. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Region 6 makes regular input for consideration, and the OHSO participates in strategic planning with them. The OHSO communicates with the Indian Nations concerning potential projects with Native American groups or tribes. The OHSO staff briefs groups and/or participates in meetings regularly. The OHSO‘s Law Enforcement Liaisons meet with statewide law enforcement personnel on a regular basis. The OHSO also chairs regular meetings of the Oklahoma Highway Safety Forum, a traffic safety advocacy groups, consisting of senior representatives of OHSO, FHWA, FMCSA, Safe Kids Oklahoma, AAA Oklahoma, ODOT, Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police, 20 etc. This group discusses highway safety issues and solutions, legislation, and any subject related to highway safety. The Records Management Division of the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety maintains a database of crash records as reported by law enforcement agencies throughout Oklahoma. This database includes crashes resulting in injury, death or over $500 property damage. Non-traffic crashes occurring on private or public property are also included in this database. Data elements included relate to information on vehicles, roadways, crash circumstances, drivers, passengers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists involved in these crashes. After our Problem Identification is completed, the OHSO conducts strategic planning sessions with its entire staff to identify goals and performance measures for the upcoming Highway Safety Plan. These sessions build on: (1) previous strategic planning sessions held during the year and the resulting OHSO Strategic Plan; (2) problem identification based on data analysis; and (3) the Oklahoma Crash Facts Book data. Results (i.e., reduced KAB=s and increased usage of restraints, etc.) from previous years also are considered. The OHSO staff (full staff: Director, Assistant Director, Chief of Highway Safety Programs, Program Managers, data analysts, and resource and administrative staff personnel) also consider how well last year=s goals and performance measures were met. The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office staff members meet several times during the selection process to discuss and rank applications. Evaluation criteria include such elements as: problem identification, project goals and objectives, project description, evaluation, cost assumption, and budget. Additionally, the application is reviewed to determine if the project is innovative, if there is a local match, if there is active community involvement, etc. We do not rely solely on unsolicited grant applications, but use a proactive process of identifying areas of the state where low seat belt use rates and higher than normal collisions would benefit from additional enforcement, education or awareness programs. Agencies in these areas are requested to partner with OHSO to design programs to address specific causal factors at high crash locations. The process is fluid. The SAFETEA-LU requirements, regarding incentive funds, and detailed criteria demand flexibility in the process. The uncertainty of reauthorization has required no less flexibility. The OHSO attempts to statistically address identified problems using the best solutions proven to work, while simultaneously seeking out innovative solutions and new partners. January: Establish preliminary state goals and post for applicant reference. Post state goals on web-site for applicant consideration. March: Host annual statewide workshop to discuss issues and future priorities with partners. Set initial performance goals and objectives, and benchmarks. Receive local government applications at OHSO. Complete Problem Identification. 21 April: Implement project selection process. April – May: When required, receive Department of Central Services applications. Program and project selections completed. June: Send out project selection letters. June-July: Develop grant agreements/ Create Highway Safety Plan/Performance Plan (HSP/PP)/ Finalize state goals for project implementation. August: Submit HSP/PP. September: Draft grant agreements. October: Implement grant agreements and contracts. November: Draft Annual Report. December: Submit Annual Report. ESTABLISHING GOALS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES Following the development of problem identification data, the OHSO conducts strategic planning sessions with its entire staff to identify goals and performance objectives for the upcoming Highway Safety Performance Plan. During these sessions, OHSO staff members evaluate the most recent collision information from the Oklahoma Crash Facts Book, FARS data, Attitude and Awareness surveys, as well as the performance results from prior years and rank our problems and prioritize strategies. The entire OHSO staff meets to consider how well last year‘s goals and performance measures were met and to consider the input from our statewide partners. These meetings are conducted at least twice a year; prior to HSPP and Annual Report submission. The process is subjective. The specific performance goals and target dates were set based on past trends and the staff‘s experience. Data from the last three to five years are used in setting goals. NHTSA’s performance measures, published in the Region 6 Regional Action Plan, and the State’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan are considered and reviewed for consistency with OHSO’s performance measures. For FY 2012, recommendations of the FY 2011 SMR were reviewed for their potential impact on our proposed goals and performance measures. We review and encourage our partners to evaluate NHTSA’s publication, “Countermeasures That Work” and to establish similar, proven strategies. The OHSO recognizes that achievement of quantified performance goals is dependent not only on the work of the OHSO, but also on the collaborative and ongoing efforts of a multitude of government and private entities involved in improving highway safety. 22 Advances in vehicle technology, coupled with expanded participation by the public health and private sectors (Safe Communities Concept), and aggressive traffic safety education, enforcement and engineering programs should make the goals achievable. PLANNING PARTICIPANTS AND PARTNERS While the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office provides leadership and coordination for Oklahoma’s traffic safety efforts, we are supported by a variety of traffic safety advocates. Our partners include state agencies, local law enforcement agencies, faith groups, diversity groups, safety advocates and others interested in promoting traffic safety. Their input into our planning process is invaluable. The OHSO is an active member of the Oklahoma Traffic Records council, which is vital to traffic safety-related discussions and improvement efforts. Participants are State agencies, such as the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS), Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC), and the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). Organizations such as the Oklahoma City Police Department, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) also are represented. Ideas from those and other agencies are received on a regular basis. The National Highway traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Region 6 makes regular input for consideration, and the OHSO participated in strategic planning for them. The OHSO communicates with the Indian Nations concerning potential projects with Native American groups or tribes. The OHSO staff briefs groups and/or participates in meetings regularly. The OHSO‘s Law Enforcement Liaisons meet with law enforcement personnel on a regular basis. Each year a traffic safety forum is conducted where issues and priorities are discussed with partners. The OHSO also chairs regular meetings of the Oklahoma Highway Safety Forum consisting of senior representatives of OHSO, FHWA, FMCSA, Safe Kids Oklahoma, AAA Oklahoma, ODOT, Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police, etc. This group discusses highway safety issues and solutions, legislation, and any subject related to highway safety. Active participation in the development of the State‘s Strategic Highway Safety Plan allowed for integration and coordination of key strategies for improving collaborative efforts in addressing highway safety counter measures. OHSO has cultivated excellent working relationships with most of Oklahoma‘s established law enforcement agencies since being legislatively created in 1967. We pride ourselves in the professionalism of these agencies and count on them for support. In order to conduct effective traffic enforcement programs, we believe these agencies must be governed by an internal set of operational policies. Such policies would include the regulation of seat belt use, equipment purchasing, maintenance and tracking. In addition, we actively encourage our law enforcement partners to regulate police pursuits by adopting policies similar to that developed by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. 23 FY 2012 PERFORMANCE MEASURES Overall Performance Measures To reduce the total number of traffic fatalities by 1.0% annually from 738 in 2009 to 695 in 2012.

Numerous applicants for traffic safety grants do, and must, use statistical problem identification to support their applications. The concerns of highway safety partners are heard and discussed at conferences, workshops and meetings. During special emphasis periods, surveys may be sent to appropriate agencies to ascertain priorities for the coming year. The OHSO may approach potential applicants about partnering in a project, or may receive unsolicited project applications. Applications undergo a thorough evaluation process. The process is defined in an OHSO Policy and Procedures Instruction, and includes both subjective and objective criteria. After multiple rounds of evaluation, applications are scored, and then ranked. Projects are selected and funded according to their rank. Special consideration is given to those projects that qualify under local benefit. Evaluation criteria include such elements as: problem identification, project goals and objectives, project description, evaluation and budget. Additionally, the application is reviewed to determine if the project is innovative, if there is “local match,” if there is community involvement, etc. For FY 12, the OHSO will be implementing a Traffic Corridor approach to targeting high collision areas of the state. Although our Targeted Area approach has been effective in building new partnerships and increasing enforcement in areas underrepresented by traffic law enforcement, we believe that coordinating traffic safety efforts of multiple jurisdictions along specific shared high collision corridors, we can be more effective. We will be working with our partners at the Oklahoma Department of Transportation in order to identify corridors and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol to coordinate state, county and local enforcement efforts. It is our intent to seek out potential partners and establish solid relationships, relying heavily on our Law Enforcement Liaisons. Sustained enforcement of statutes addressing impaired driving, occupant protection, and driving in excess of posted speed limits is a critical component of the OHSO Highway Safety Plan. Participating law enforcement agencies will not only participate in high visibility enforcement programs throughout the year, but will incorporate activities designed to create an environment of sustained enforcement. These efforts will be supported by a public information campaign which includes both paid and earned media components. 28 OTHER HIGHWAY SAFETY ISSUES IMPAIRED DRIVING, SPEEDING AND OCCUPANT PROTECTION SURVEYS In July 2010, the first combined impaired driving, speeding and occupant protection ‗attitude survey‘ was conducted in order to evaluate public attitudes and awareness regarding those topics. The results of the surveys were discussed in the FY 10 Annual Report. The survey was again conducted for FY 2011. The results changed little from the previous year. In general, that report concludes that drivers who engaged in risky behaviors were less concerned about the possibility of law enforcement intervention and were also less aware of the state‘s marketing efforts. The survey will be conducted again in FY 2012. A summary of the FY 2011 report is included in the Appendix. CORRIDOR PROJECTS The Oklahoma Highway Safety Corridor project is designed to address traffic safety issues in areas that reflect a pattern of crashes based upon a long-term review of crash data. The approach of the Plan is to address these traffic safety problems comprehensively – involving as many local stakeholders as possible. The Plan focuses on short term activities to make an immediate impact on the traffic safety of the affected areas, particularly the use of zero tolerance High Visibility Enforcement of traffic laws. The project is a collaborative effort of the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation. A steering committee will guide site selection, project selection, implementation and evaluation. The committee membership will be reflective of the three agencies involved. Corridor selection will be based on ODOT‘s Highway Safety Improvement Plan‘s 5% listing. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol will provide enhanced enforcement of the corridors using existing local Troop resources. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation will assist with limited upgrade services such as right-of-way clearing, striping and signage as appropriate. Working through our OHP Law Enforcement Liaisons, OHSO will provide funding for appropriate agencies with traffic enforcement authority along the corridor. A vital component of this project is public awareness. The OHSO and our partner agencies will work to develop public information activities along these corridors in an effort to make the public aware of the serious nature of the collisions in the defined areas and to inform them of increased enforcement activities. The collision picture within these corridors will be closely monitored in order to evaluate performance. While some short term improvement can be anticipated, our continued participation will be evaluated according to longer term effects. 29 NATIONAL MOBILIZATIONS The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office actively supports NHTSA‘s national mobilizations, including Click It or Ticket mobilization and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown. This is done in a variety of ways. Each partner agency receiving federal funding is required as a condition of their grant agreement to participate and report activities for each mobilization. Our LEL‘s have established and active network of law enforcement partners who are personally contacted prior to each mobilization. These agencies are provided opportunities for incentive awards after each mobilization. We actively promote the events with earned media and support from our Safe Community groups. Our paid media contractor promotes the mobilizations using the national messaging taglines. The contractor is required to report on the number of impressions achieved in each advertising venue. HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN HSP PROJECT LISTING BY PROGRAM (FUND) AREA OHSO carefully monitors all projects to ensure the appropriate use of restricted funds; Sections 402, 403,406, 408, 410, 2010, etc. In order to address the State‘s impaired driving challenges in FY 2012, many of our projects were provided Section 410 funding in addition to funding appropriate to their primary program focus. When this is done, that project is generally listed in this document under the program area responsible for the majority of the funding. Therefore a project receiving 60% Section 402 funds for Police Traffic Services activities and 40% Section 410 funds for impaired driving activities, will be listed under PTS, with both funding sources listed. Grant agreements delineate between the separate fund sources and activities are carefully tracked and billed to the appropriate fund. 30 31 PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION Planning and Administration Objectives To efficiently create, administer and evaluate Federal grant programs to achieve progress toward national and state goals to reduce fatalities and injuries on State roads and highways.

The official state survey remains at 85.9%. 8 Overall, the combined percentage of children who were properly restrained has remained relatively unchanged since 2006 (-0.08%). The 2010 survey (most recent) indicated an overall use rate of 85.5% compared with 86.3% for 2009. Occupant Protection Objectives To increase safety belt use to 88% by 2012 and to 89% by 2014. Occupant Protection Strategies During FY 2010, the total number of written occupant protection contacts made by all funded law enforcement agencies was 31,276; nearly double the number for the previous year. For FY 2012, we will continue to promote vigorous seat belt enforcement among our partners. Participating communities were chosen because of their relatively low seat belt use rates, with a special focus on the OKC metropolitan area. Strategies include: Providing sustained enforcement of seat belt and child passenger laws by supporting State and local law enforcement programs. Increasing seat belt use through the services of a full time LE Occupant Protection Specialist. Continuing to refine and conduct the strategies developed in our OP PEP plan. Promoting seat belt use through paid and earned media, sports venues, and other community events and fairs (See Paid Media Section, page 65). Conducting annual occupant protection surveys. Conducting statewide occupant protection surveys in order to gauge awareness of OP issues. Providing education and free child safety seats to eligible low-income parents. Promoting the proper use of child restraint systems by providing Technical Update training and Technician Certification training. Continuing to expand existing CPS programs to include more rural areas of Oklahoma. Supporting and encourage participation by law enforcement agencies in the national and State seat belt campaigns (Click it or Ticket, Buckle Up In Your Truck, etc.) Providing incentive awards to noncontract agencies in order to encourage participation in the CIOT campaign. Continuing occupant protection emphasis in all funded projects and promote increased child passenger safety use in minority populations. Promoting and supporting high visibility law enforcement, paid and earned media (See PTS Section page 51). 8Robert Delano, Ph.D. Statewide Safety Belt Survey 2011: University of Central Oklahoma.

Police Traffic Services Strategies Police Traffic Safety programs provide a variety of traffic enforcement and community education services, depending upon the specific needs of the community. Speeding, aggressive and impaired driving issues are all addressed through general PTS programs. Our strategies for addressing general traffic issues include: Supporting sustained enforcement by state and local law enforcement officers of drug and alcohol impaired drivers, seatbelt use, and driving in excess of posted speed limits, by funding general Police Traffic Service contracts statewide. Encouraging and supporting STEP projects focused on alcohol, speed, distracted and aggressive driving and occupant protection. Supporting and requiring (of OHSO contracted LE agencies) participation in National and State Mobilizations such as ―Click it or Ticket,‖ and ―Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over‖. All designated law enforcement agencies in the HSP are contractually required to participate in these mobilization events. Providing incentives for non-contract law enforcement agencies in major mobilizations to encourage participation and reporting. Working with not-for-profit and law enforcement agencies to enhance the driving skills of younger drivers. Supporting law enforcement and non-law enforcement efforts to address young driver issues. Providing advanced crash investigation classes for law enforcement agencies to improve data collection and analysis, though our Safe Communities organizations. Promoting responsible driving through media campaigns, sports events, fairs and other community events. Providing training to Project Directors and other safety advocates in managing traffic safety issues. Conducting workshops, speed management seminars, and other informational meetings to inform and educate traffic safety personnel and partners as appropriate or requested. 53 Police Traffic Services Projects Project Number: Multiple Project Name: See Table Agency: 22 LE Agencies (See Description below and PTS Budget Summary) Budget: See Budget Summary Description: Police Traffic Services projects are intended to address a variety of traffic safety issues at the local level. The law enforcement agencies listed in this section have identified a number of traffic collision problems within their jurisdictions and have proposed strategies to address them. These programs include the use of commissioned officers, working overtime shifts to target high collision areas and to focus their enforcement efforts on specific causation violations. STEP locations will be identified upon review of crash reports, arrest reports or citizen complaints and will be reviewed periodically for asset reallocation. Each participating agency will be required to support NHTSA’s goals and to support both major national mobilizations, including “Click It or Ticket” and the impaired driving crackdown, “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.‖ In addition to sustained High Visibility Enforcement efforts, these agencies will commit to an active Public Information and Educational component. In addition to the agencies listed, OHSO will target several communities along high collision corridors in Oklahoma for potential recruitment. Based on our most recent problem identification, our network of Law Enforcement Liaisons will be meeting with appropriate law enforcement representatives in an effort to join forces to address specific community needs. As agencies agree and grant agreements are written, OHSO will submit appropriate GTS updates. While all agencies identified as Police Traffic Services contracts will address speed management within their projects, eight communities have requested assistance with a defined speed management problem. Those communities are listed in the following chart and are identified as such. Speed Management Projects Project Number: Multiple Project Name: See Table Agency: Multiple (See Description below and PT Budget Summary) Budget: See Budget Summary (end of this section) Description: Speeding and speed related violations continue to be a serious contributor to fatal and injury collisions in Oklahoma. For FY 2012, OHSO has contracted with 7 local law enforcement agencies to address speeding in their communities. Officers working these programs will be targeting violations such as speed above the posted limit, speed too fast for conditions, following too closely and aggressive driving. They will patrol 54 locations which have a history of speed related collisions and speeding violations. Times may vary according their local traffic patterns in order to address their local problem. Each of these communities has established goals to reduce the number of fatal and serious injury collisions in their jurisdictions. Speed Enforcement Communities include: Blanchard, Edmond, Hugo, McAlester, Newcastle, Owasso, Purcell, and Wagoner County.

Not only has this allowed for timely submission from the field, but for greatly improved integration into court records systems. This has significantly improved the processing of citations, and has the potential to prevent future processing backlogs. However, Oklahoma currently lacks the ability to create timely and accessible citation and crash location maps. Creating such an interface will allow for the timely development of effective crash countermeasures; especially as it relates to county roads and city streets. Integrating GPS information into crash reports and electronically submitting that information to ODOT in an acceptable format will allow users to easily generate a variety of visual planning tools; eventually leading to the development of a statewide DDACTS system when linked to criminal data from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. Traffic Records Objectives To refine a program which will allow for the integration of GPS data into ODOT‘s SafeT crash records system. This will not only allow for improved mapping capabilities, but for the creation of an environment conducive to the timely development of enforcement countermeasures. To continue to expand the capabilities of ODOT‘s SafeT crash reporting system. To promote the use of the successfully tested online Collision Reporting System (CRS) in 2012. Traffic Records Strategies Oklahoma‘s Traffic Records Coordinating Committee has developed a 5 year plan for improving traffic records. Their overall strategies include: Assisting in the coordination and guidance of the planning and implementation of the various OK traffic records systems to improve information quality and quantity. Providing recommendations concerning the implementation of a strategic plan for improvement of the States‘ records systems. Assisting in the transfer of related information on technology and systems through meetings and forums Providing recommendations to the various agencies on systems enhancements and linkages Facilitating the exchange of information among partners of the Council 58 Traffic Records Projects Project Number: K9-12-06-01-05 Project Title: State Data Linkage Project Agency: Oklahoma State Health Department Budget: $108,000 Section: 408 Description: This cooperative agreement with the Oklahoma State Department of Health provides support for data linkage projects through the continuation of a data linkage network of linked crash and injury data.

Secondary messages may include other areas of concern such as distracted driving, child passenger safety, bicycle/pedestrian safety. Through an advertising agency, appropriate media spots such as radio, television, Internet and billboard will be produced, as well as occasional print materials. A portion of the project funds will be used to buy air time and leverage additional donated air play. The contractor will be required to recommend, initiate and foster partnerships with the Department of Public Safety, Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, trade associations, chambers of commerce, businesses and other governmental entities to maximize exposure and awareness of the appropriate campaign. The contractor will be responsible for developing and creating a marketing campaign focused on the promotion of increased enforcement, reduction of fatalities and injuries, and implementation of the campaign, once creative concepts/designs have been approved by the OHSO. The contractor will be responsible for conducting a statewide survey in order to evaluate the public’s awareness and attitudes regarding impaired driving, occupant protection and speeding. The results will be reviewed in order to assist with the development of future countermeasures. The contractor will be required to provide the OHSO with the number of paid airings devoted to each announcement and the estimated size of audience, based on Arbitron or Nielsen ratings. In addition, a more extensive assessment to measure target audience reaction will be created by the contractor. Acceptable evaluation standards include, but are not limited to, mail surveys, telephone surveys, focus groups, mall intercept interviews, direct mailings, call-in centers, newspaper polls, household interviews, the ―before and after‖ approach, Internet tracking, and the control region approach. Section 410 funds will be used to support impaired driving programs such as the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” mobilization. Section 2010 funds will be used to support motorcycle safety and awareness programs (as allowed under Section 2010). Section 402 funds will be used for occupant protection and other appropriate messaging. 64 SPORTS MARKETING Project Number: Multiple Project Name: Multiple Agency: OHSO Budget: See Paid Media Budget Summary This project consists of multiple components to develop a series of year-round integrated marketing communications activities that build upon, leverage and maximize the impact of the major enforcement and paid advertising campaigns. The activities in this project will communicate traffic safety messages to the public through sports venues, and will proactively encourage behavioral change that will save Oklahoma lives. Through event marketing, television, radio, venue signage, printed materials and Internet, this project is designed to communicate our traffic safety messages as efficiently as possible. A variety of sports marketing venues and vendors have been selected based on the maximum impact on appropriate target audiences (determined by statewide data). Primary messaging will be directed at Impaired Driving, Motorcycle Safety and Occupant Protection. Sports marketing through appropriate vendors will reach sports fans and the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, Tulsa University, and the OKC Redhawks. Other Marketing Efforts The OHSO is also developing a ―new media‖ approach to marketing that will involve an agency Facebook© page, enhanced Web advertising (in conjunction with existing mobilizations/projects), a YouTube© channel and possibly a Twitter© account. The goal of this social media marketing project is to support the OHSO‘s vision and mission by promoting highway safety messages that will reach a large audience within our targeted demographic (typically, males age 18-24, but also a wide range of readers/viewers). Because of the age, interests, and information-gathering methods of the OHSO‘s target audience, we are seeking to employ the means of communication that are relevant, engaging and time-sensitive. A robust Web presence will enable us to promote expedient messages related to drug/alcohol impairment, occupant protection, child passenger safety, seat belt usage, distracted driving, motorcycle safety, and other project/interest areas. 65 Paid Media: Budget Summary Pro ject N umbe r Project Name Budget Budget Source PM- 12- 02- 01- 06 Media - Brother & Co 145,000.00 Section 402 K8PM- 12- 02- 01- 06 Media - Brother & Co 270,000.00 Section 410 K6- 12- 02- 02- 06 Media - Brother & Co 10,662.82 Section 2010 Sports Marketing K4- 12- 02- 01- 00 Redhawks 29,750.00 Section 406 K4- 12- 02- 01- 00 HS Rodeo 2,000.00 Section 406 K8PM- 12- 02- 02- 00 Learfield - OSU 118,000.00 Section 410 K8PM- 12- 02- 02- 00 Learfield - OU 188,100.00 Section 410 K8PM- 12- 02- 02- 00 Learfield - Tulsa Golden Hurricanes 16,500.00 Section 410 K8PM- 12- 02- 02- 00 Redhawks 29,750.00 Section 410 K8PM- 12- 02- 02- 00 Thunder 155,000.00 Section 410 K8- 12- 07- 02- 00 State Match 2,332,050.00 State of Oklahoma 402 Total 145,000.00 406 Total 31,750.00 410 Total 777,350.00 2010 Total 10,662.82 State Funds Total 2,332,050.00 Total All Funds 3,296,812.82 66 Combined Messaging to Reduce Unrestrained and Impaired Driving Fatalities and Injuries Project Number: NHTSA Cooperative Agreement DTNH22-10-H-00329 Project Name: Joint Messaging Project Agency: OHSO Budget: $211,213.60 Section 403 Oklahoma is partnering with NHTSA to evaluate a program which will: 1) Develop and test an umbrella evergreen enforcement message (seat belts, alcohol and speed) and strategic communications plan that can be used to publicize a variety of enforcement efforts and to 2) Incorporate this new message into existing high visibility enforcement efforts to assess its effect on occupant protection and impaired driving. FY 2011 was the first year of this multiyear project and included negotiation, planning and program development. FY 2012 is the second year and will commence program implementation. NHTSA will be creating, testing and marketing a new joint messaging campaign.

Appendix E iv v 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As FY 2011 comes to a close, we can look back on some significant accomplishments and look forward to addressing the challenges of FY 2012. The overwhelming good news is that Oklahoma is on track for continued reductions in traffic fatalities. After a peak of 803 fatalities in 2005, we have seen steady reductions each year to the current 668 (early state and 2010 estimates. Alcohol impaired occupant fatalities have decreased from 242 in 2008 to 235 in 2009 (FARS). We are continuing to address our seat belt use rate with an aggressive, multifaceted program. Under the direction of a full time Law Enforcement Occupant Protection Specialist, law enforcement agencies, traffic safety advocates, educational professionals and local media outlets, the OHSO continues to implement the provisions of a statewide occupant protection plan. Concentrating primarily on central Oklahoma, we are forging new coalitions; creating new partnerships and developing new focused law enforcement initiatives. Our efforts are beginning to pay off. Unrestrained occupant fatalities decreased from 338 in 2008 to 306 in 2009, with early 2010 estimates indicating a continuation of that downward trend. Although our most recent survey shows the current use rate remained unchanged at 89.5%, the rate for the metropolitan Oklahoma City area, the focus of most of our recent efforts, has increased. Central to our effort is the ―Clicks on Route 66‖ program. The program is designed to increase awareness along that fabled corridor and to leverage law enforcement efforts through joint checkpoints and saturation patrols. The program has proven popular and is being expanded to include the states of Illinois, Missouri, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. It is our belief that with this traditional combination of education, awareness and enforcement, we will continue to a positive impact on Oklahoma‘s seat belt use rate. Unfortunately, certain specific categories of traffic collisions are not as favorably represented. As motorcycle registrations in our state continue to dramatically increase, we are challenged to hold the line on fatal motorcycle collisions. Motorcycle fatalities increased from 89 in 2008 to 108 in 2009. In FY 2010 we partnered with the Edmond Police Department to develop a statewide motorcycle safety and awareness program. That project has shown tremendous potential and in FY 2012 we are expanding it to include the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Broken Arrow Police Department. The state‘s Motorcycle Safety Advisory Committee is fully functioning and has a dedicated funding stream which should significantly increase our ability to impact motorcycle safety. The good news is that early state estimates indicate a significant downturn in motorcyclist fatalities for 2010. Since 2005, the number of persons killed in alcohol related collisions has remained relatively constant. In 2009 we experienced 235 fatalities compared to 232 in 2005, a 1.3% increase. The average for the past 5 years has been 226. While maintaining our core impaired driving support programs, we are dramatically increasing the number of law enforcement agencies conducting impaired driving prevention projects. Beyond our statewide Section 410 program involving the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Oklahoma County Sheriff‘s Office, we are working with approximately 50 local and county law enforcement agencies in order to reduce the number of Oklahomans affected by this most preventable of collisions. 2 We are continuing our ‗targeted community‘ approach to high collision areas of the state initiated in FY 2009. However, beginning FY 2012 we will be focusing our efforts on high collision corridors, regardless of jurisdiction. Working with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the State will be designating certain roadways as ―High Collision Corridors‖. Through coordination of state, county and local resources, it is our intent to enforce, educate and engineer collision solutions along these corridors. The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office is proud of the significant accomplishments of our partners in recent years and we look forward to addressing future challenges. We believe our FY 2012 Highway Safety Plan to be a sound, comprehensive approach to reducing fatal and serious injuries from traffic related collisions. Legislative Issues During the most recent session of the Oklahoma legislature, 1st of the 53nd, many bills were introduced in an effort to improve traffic safety in Oklahoma. OHSO supported legislation directed at impaired drivers, distracted driving and improved occupant protection. A review of legislation enacted during FY 2011 will be included in the FY 2011 Annual Report. In the upcoming session, 2nd of the 53rd, it is our intent to work with the Department of Public Safety‘s legislative staff to generate support in two major categories; distracted driving and occupant protection. It is our belief that increasing fines for failure to wear seat belts will be the most effective means of reducing unrestrained fatalities in Oklahoma. Although impaired driving related fatalities remain relatively unchanged in recent years, we believe the current laws are sufficient and intend to focus our resources on increased enforcement and awareness as major impaired driving countermeasures. 3 OKLAHOMA HIGHWAY SAFETY OFFICE VISION Create and maintain an environment where Oklahoma roadways are safe for everyone VALUES Integrity Service Excellence PRINCIPLES Credibility Teamwork People MISSION To combat the number and severity of traffic crashes by developing and supporting educational, enforcement, and engineering programs 4 5 FY 2012 PERFORMANCE PLAN 6 Oklahoma Demographics Oklahoma ranks 18th in size with a land area of 68,6671 square miles and is located almost in the center of the United States. It is bordered by Texas to the south, Arkansas and Missouri to the east, Kansas and Colorado to the north and New Mexico and Texas to the west. Western Oklahoma, mostly in the Panhandle, is the Great Plains Region and is flat with few trees and water. The central two-third of the State is the Osage Plains with gently rolling hills, broken up by the Wichita Mountains and the Arbuckle Mountains in the southwest. The Gypsum Hills are to the west. The Ozark Plateau in the northeastern corner of the State is a green, hilly region with streams cutting steep valleys into the limestone formations. The Arkansas Valley is to the south of the Ozark Plateau. The Ouachita Mountains in the southeast are mostly sandstone ridges separated by narrow valley. Along the Red River in the southeastern part of the State is the West Gulf Coastal Plain. Oklahoma‘s roadway system of 113,1472 total miles includes 669 miles of Interstate, 559 miles of Turnpike, 11,601 miles of State and Federal Highways, 284 miles of State Park roads, 86,665 miles of county roads, and 12,865 miles of local city streets.3 The 2010 Census shows Oklahoma‘s population increased by over 300,000 (8.7%) to a total population of 3,751,351 in 77 counties. Sixty-five percent of the state‘s population is urban and 35 percent is rural. During the past decade, Oklahoma‘s growth rate was 9.7 percent. Descendants from the original 67 tribes living in Indian Territory still live in Oklahoma. Thirty-five of the Indian tribes currently living in Oklahoma are headquartered in the state. Racial categories from Census 2010 show the following counts for Oklahoma: White only-72.2%, American Indian/Alaska native only- 7.4%, Black/African American only-7.4%, Asian only-1.7%, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander only 0.1%. The Hispanic or Latino Origin population increased by 85.2% from 1990 to 2010. There were 3,882,026 registered vehicles in Oklahoma in 2010 with 74.1% (2,887,797) registered automobiles. Motorcycle registrations have increased dramatically. Since 2005 registrations have increased from 81,693 to 124,926 in 2010; a 53% increase! There were 2,533,888 licensed drivers in Oklahoma in 2010.4 There are 152 hospitals in Oklahoma with 104 hospitals licensed in the category of traumas and emergency operative services.5 In addition to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, there are 338 police departments, 77 sheriff offices, and 36 campus police departments.6 The State of Oklahoma ranks as the largest employer in Oklahoma, followed by Wal-Mart/Sam‘s Club and Tinker Air Force Base. Wal-Mart/Sam‘s Club ranks as a Fortune 500 player with a large Oklahoma presence.7 1 Oklahoma Crash Facts. 2010 Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, Oklahoma Highway Safety Office. 2 Oklahoma Crash Facts. 2010 Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, Oklahoma Highway Safety Office. 3 Oklahoma Total Road Mileage: Mileage as of December 31, 2000.

September 8, 2010 7 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION PROCESS The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety maintains a database of crash records as reported by law enforcement agencies throughout Oklahoma. This database includes crashes resulting in injury, death or property damage of $500 or more. Non-traffic crashes occurring on private or public property are also included in this database, but are not used in analysis. Data elements included relate to information on vehicles, roadways, crash circumstances, drivers, passengers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists involved in these crashes. The OHSO Data Analyst prepares an annual Crash Facts book analyzing collisions for the most recent and past several years of state data. Traffic collisions are organized into a variety of classifications; i.e. KAB [Fatalities, Incapacitating Injuries, Non- Incapacitating Injuries], Fatal, Unsafe Speed, Alcohol/Drug-Related, Motorcycle, Pedestrian, and Bicycle. An in-depth analysis is done to determine primary causation, location, contributing factors, vehicle type, time of day, day of week, age, gender, etc. This information is applied to each county and city in Oklahoma with a population of over 5,000. While this analysis allows for in depth planning and program countermeasures, for uniformity FARS data alone are used to define the state‘s goals in the annual Highway Safety Plan and Performance Plan. Every effort is made to ensure that state data and FARS data are consistent in comparable categories. Each classification of traffic collisions is analyzed in order to establish priorities for program implementation and include: Change in collisions, fatalities, and injuries from the previous year 5-year trend of collisions, fatalities, and injuries Trend charts of collisions, fatalities, and injuries Tables with actual numbers of collisions, fatalities, and injuries Comparison of rural and urban collisions Causes of collisions Comparison of counties‘ collision rates per VMT and actual collision numbers Comparison of cities‘ collision rates per VMT and actual collision numbers Comparison of actual number of persons killed and injured Data and other information are discussed, reviewed, analyzed, and evaluated among the various agencies to pinpoint specific traffic safety problems. Fatal and serious injury crashes on Oklahoma‘s streets and highways are identified as primary traffic safety problems based on the problems identified through the above process, OHSO recommends specific countermeasures that can be implemented to promote highway safety in an effort to reduce the incidence and severity of traffic crashes in the State. FARS data and data obtained from the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety database are compared to determine omissions and inaccuracies to improve the data quality. Population data are derived from the latest census information collected by the U.S. Census Bureau and published by the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. Population data are 8 evaluated each year, based on the latest census and are considered in the development of the Problem Identification. A Traffic Records Assessment was conducted in November 2009 and the Oklahoma Traffic Records Council used this report to establish new goals to improve our traffic records program. Those goals are reviewed and amended as necessary on an annual basis. Much improvement is being made in traffic records in Oklahoma due to funds earmarked for traffic records through SAFETEA-LU legislation. LIST AND DESCRIPTION OF DATA SOURCES Fatality and Other Crash Reports The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS) collects fatality and other crash reports. The majority of collision reports are received as paper copies and are manually input by the Records Management Division into the DPS mainframe computer. Recent improvements have allowed for electronic submission by all OHP troopers and in CY 2010, several select communities began submitting reports via the Internet. The data are then downloaded into a DB2 server where the analyst can access the data. Data are analyzed using SPSS software. Very recent improvements allow for all electronic collision reports to be submitted to the University of Oklahoma for uniform formatting and error checking prior to submitting to DPS. Occupant Protection Surveys The University of Central Oklahoma is our contractor for the State’s annual occupant protection and child restraint surveys. Their first survey for this office has recently been conducted and the results are being analyzed at the time of this publication. Although the survey results are included in this document, they were not available to be considered during our Problem Identification process. Historical data have been used to establish future benchmarks. Safety belt and child restraint surveys are conducted each year using NHTSA‘s approved methods to determine the State‘s use rate. It is our intent to conduct another motorcycle helmet use observational surveys in FY 2012. Results of the FY 11 survey will be discussed in the FY 11 Annual Report. FARS For consistency, the most recently available FARS data (2009) are used to establish OHSO’s performance measures. That information, supplemented by DPS injury and Oklahoma Tax Commission vehicle mileage data, is used to set future goals and evaluate past progress. DPS and FARS data are regularly evaluated for accuracy and if discrepancies are found, research is conducted to determine the cause and necessary corrections are made. 9 Crash Rates The Oklahoma Department of Transportation and the Oklahoma Tax Commission provide vehicle miles traveled for the entire State and each county within Oklahoma. Population data are obtained from the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. Crash, Fatality, and injury rates for counties and for the state are computed using vehicle miles traveled and population. 10 11 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION The Oklahoma Highway Safety Offices uses a variety of data sources in order to define our collision challenges. The following performance charts are based on 5 years of final FARS data, unless otherwise noted. State projections for the current and previous year are included to provide insight with regard to previously established performance measures. 12 13 The number of fatalities in traffic crashes in Oklahoma has steadily decreased over the past five years (2005 – 2009). For that time frame, fatalities have decreased 8% and early state estimates for 2010 indicate continued decreases. State data indicate an increase in serious injuries over 2009; however, the 6 year trend line suggests a continuation of the overall decreases since 2005. Since that year we have experienced a 5.4% reduction. The trend line indicates we are right on target for our 2011 goal projection. 17505 17488 17663 16458 16077 16557 15910 15000 15500 16000 16500 17000 17500 18000 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Number of Serious Injuries (state data) Injuries Goal Performance Trend 803 765 766 750 738 734 726 680 700 720 740 760 780 800 820 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Fatality Trend Fatalities Goal Performance Trend 14 Oklahoma‘s fatality rate per 100 million VMT increased somewhat for 2009, even though the number of fatalities continues to drop. Our most recent rate of 1.57 is well below the rate of 1.71 in 2005. The trend line suggests continued decreases for 2010 and right in line with our 2010 and 2011 goal projections. Fatalities in alcohol-impaired traffic crashes increased steadily from 2006 to 2008. Oklahoma experienced a decrease from 242 in 2008 to 235 in 2009. The trend line suggests a slight increase for 2010. 1.71 1.57 1.61 1.55 1.57 1.52 1.51 1.35 1.40 1.45 1.50 1.55 1.60 1.65 1.70 1.75 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Fatality Rate per 100 Million VMT Fatality Rate Goal Performance Trend 232 199 223 242 235 239 239 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Alcohol-Impaired Driving Fatalities Based on All Involved Drivers & Motorcycle Operators with .08+ BAC Fatalities Goal Performance Trend 15 Fatalities in speed-related crashes decreased 27.3% from 2005 to 2007. This significant reduction places the slight increases in 2008 and 2009 out of perspective. Over the past 5 years the number of people fatally injured in speed related collisions has decreased by 20.1%. The trend line suggest our goals for 2010 and 2011 are achievable. The number of unrestrained fatalities decreased significantly from 2005 to 2009. This drop from 378 to 306 represents a 19.0% reduction. The latest FARS data (2009) indicate a reduction from 338 in 2008 to 306 in 2009 (9.5%).The trend line suggests reductions well below our 2010 and 2011 projections. 293 269 213 221 234 217 214 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Speed-Related Fatalities Fatalities Goal Performance Trend 378 351 318 338 306 331 328 200 250 300 350 400 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Unrestrained Passenger Vehicle Occupant Fatalities Fatalities Goal Performance Trend 16 Unfortunately, the number of motorcyclist fatalities in Oklahoma continues to increase. With the ever increasing number of motorcycle registrations in Oklahoma, our goal of maintaining fatalities at the 2008 level has proven to be a challenge. Although we saw a 21.3% increase in 2009, early 2010 figures (state) reflect a significant decrease. The number of un-helmeted motorcyclist fatalities increased steadily from 2006 to the present (2009). Just as motorcycle fatalities have increased, so have un-helmeted fatalities; fortunately, early 2010 (state) data indicate a decrease for 2010. 77 64 76 89 108 86 86 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Motorcyclist Fatalities Fatalities Goal Early State Performance Trend 58 48 52 65 78 63 63 0 20 40 60 80 100 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Unhelmeted Motorcyclist Fatalities Fatalities Goal Early State Performance Trend 17 The number of drivers under age 21 involved in fatal crashes continue to decrease. Since 2005, drivers under age 21 fatally injured in collisions has decreased 23.3% from 150 to 115 in 2009. Trend line suggests a continued decrease. Pedestrian fatalities decreased from 50 in 2008 to 31 in 2009, a 38% decrease. With the exception of a spike in 2007, they have steadily decreased since 2005. The trend line suggests continued decreases. 150 135 129 139 115 137 136 50 70 90 110 130 150 170 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Drivers Under 21 in Fatal Crashes Drivers Goal Performance Trend 50 46 67 50 31 50 49 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Pedestrian Fatalities Fatalities Goal Performance Trend 18 Seat belt use rates in Oklahoma ‗plateaued‘ between 2006 and 2009, with very little change. In early 2010, we implemented an aggressive enforcement and awareness program to increase Oklahoma belt use and experienced an increase to 85.9%. However, our most recent survey indicates no change over 2010. Oklahoma‘s CPS use rate has remained relatively unchanged since 2006. Between that date and the most recent survey (2010), we show a slight reduction from 86.7% to 85.5% (1.2%). It is our belief that changes to our CPS program during FY 10 and FY 11 will result in an increase. 82.7% 86.7% 85.4% 85.0% 86.3% 85.5% 70.0% 75.0% 80.0% 85.0% 90.0% 95.0% 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Child Restraints Child Restraint Use Performance Trend 83.1% 83.7% 83.1% 84.3% 84.2% 85.9% 85.9% 81.0% 82.0% 83.0% 84.0% 85.0% 86.0% 87.0% 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Safety Belt Use Rate Safety Belt Use Performance Trend 19 HIGHWAY SAFETY PLANNING PROCESS The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office (OHSO) provides leadership and coordination for Oklahoma=s traffic safety efforts. The OHSO continues to expand partnerships, while maintaining and energizing current partners. The core of our process is the staff of the OHSO. Our partners include state agencies, state, county and local law enforcement agencies, as well as a variety of traffic safety advocacy and minority concern groups. The process is a circle, with no beginning and no end. At any one point in time, the OHSO may be working on the last fiscal year, the current year, and the next year. The OHSO Data Analyst prepares an annual Crash Facts publication and a Problem Identification based on at least four years of state crash data and an estimation of the immediate past year‘s crash data in order to determine the nature of our traffic safety challenges. Following analysis of the data, the Data Analyst provides a ranking of cities and counties where the data indicates the problems occur. This allows OHSO to look at the problems, where they occur, and provide programs and services where the need is greatest. The Problem Identification and the annual Crash Facts Book are used by many highway safety professionals to evaluate what traffic safety priority areas need emphasis. Numerous applicants for traffic safety grants do, and must, use statistical problem identification to support their applications. The concerns of highway safety partners are heard and discussed at conferences, workshops, and meetings. During special emphasis periods, surveys may be sent to appropriate agencies to ascertain priorities for the coming year. Several national level agencies, such as MADD, have rate-the-state reviews. The OHSO considers such evaluations. OHSO‘s Problem Identification data are used for internal processes, such as application evaluation, ranking and program selection. Annual goals are established using the latest FARS data (or State data in the absence of specific FARS data). The OHSO is an active member of the Oklahoma Traffic Records council, which is vital to traffic safety-related discussions and improvement efforts. Participants are State agencies, such as the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS), Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC), and the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). Organizations such as the Oklahoma City and Tulsa Police Departments, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) also are represented. Ideas from those and other agencies are received on a regular basis. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Region 6 makes regular input for consideration, and the OHSO participates in strategic planning with them. The OHSO communicates with the Indian Nations concerning potential projects with Native American groups or tribes. The OHSO staff briefs groups and/or participates in meetings regularly. The OHSO‘s Law Enforcement Liaisons meet with statewide law enforcement personnel on a regular basis. The OHSO also chairs regular meetings of the Oklahoma Highway Safety Forum, a traffic safety advocacy groups, consisting of senior representatives of OHSO, FHWA, FMCSA, Safe Kids Oklahoma, AAA Oklahoma, ODOT, Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police, 20 etc. This group discusses highway safety issues and solutions, legislation, and any subject related to highway safety. The Records Management Division of the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety maintains a database of crash records as reported by law enforcement agencies throughout Oklahoma. This database includes crashes resulting in injury, death or over $500 property damage. Non-traffic crashes occurring on private or public property are also included in this database. Data elements included relate to information on vehicles, roadways, crash circumstances, drivers, passengers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists involved in these crashes. After our Problem Identification is completed, the OHSO conducts strategic planning sessions with its entire staff to identify goals and performance measures for the upcoming Highway Safety Plan. These sessions build on: (1) previous strategic planning sessions held during the year and the resulting OHSO Strategic Plan; (2) problem identification based on data analysis; and (3) the Oklahoma Crash Facts Book data. Results (i.e., reduced KAB=s and increased usage of restraints, etc.) from previous years also are considered. The OHSO staff (full staff: Director, Assistant Director, Chief of Highway Safety Programs, Program Managers, data analysts, and resource and administrative staff personnel) also consider how well last year=s goals and performance measures were met. The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office staff members meet several times during the selection process to discuss and rank applications. Evaluation criteria include such elements as: problem identification, project goals and objectives, project description, evaluation, cost assumption, and budget. Additionally, the application is reviewed to determine if the project is innovative, if there is a local match, if there is active community involvement, etc. We do not rely solely on unsolicited grant applications, but use a proactive process of identifying areas of the state where low seat belt use rates and higher than normal collisions would benefit from additional enforcement, education or awareness programs. Agencies in these areas are requested to partner with OHSO to design programs to address specific causal factors at high crash locations. The process is fluid. The SAFETEA-LU requirements, regarding incentive funds, and detailed criteria demand flexibility in the process. The uncertainty of reauthorization has required no less flexibility. The OHSO attempts to statistically address identified problems using the best solutions proven to work, while simultaneously seeking out innovative solutions and new partners. January: Establish preliminary state goals and post for applicant reference. Post state goals on web-site for applicant consideration. March: Host annual statewide workshop to discuss issues and future priorities with partners. Set initial performance goals and objectives, and benchmarks. Receive local government applications at OHSO. Complete Problem Identification. 21 April: Implement project selection process. April – May: When required, receive Department of Central Services applications. Program and project selections completed. June: Send out project selection letters. June-July: Develop grant agreements/ Create Highway Safety Plan/Performance Plan (HSP/PP)/ Finalize state goals for project implementation. August: Submit HSP/PP. September: Draft grant agreements. October: Implement grant agreements and contracts. November: Draft Annual Report. December: Submit Annual Report. ESTABLISHING GOALS AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES Following the development of problem identification data, the OHSO conducts strategic planning sessions with its entire staff to identify goals and performance objectives for the upcoming Highway Safety Performance Plan. During these sessions, OHSO staff members evaluate the most recent collision information from the Oklahoma Crash Facts Book, FARS data, Attitude and Awareness surveys, as well as the performance results from prior years and rank our problems and prioritize strategies. The entire OHSO staff meets to consider how well last year‘s goals and performance measures were met and to consider the input from our statewide partners. These meetings are conducted at least twice a year; prior to HSPP and Annual Report submission. The process is subjective. The specific performance goals and target dates were set based on past trends and the staff‘s experience. Data from the last three to five years are used in setting goals. NHTSA’s performance measures, published in the Region 6 Regional Action Plan, and the State’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan are considered and reviewed for consistency with OHSO’s performance measures. For FY 2012, recommendations of the FY 2011 SMR were reviewed for their potential impact on our proposed goals and performance measures. We review and encourage our partners to evaluate NHTSA’s publication, “Countermeasures That Work” and to establish similar, proven strategies. The OHSO recognizes that achievement of quantified performance goals is dependent not only on the work of the OHSO, but also on the collaborative and ongoing efforts of a multitude of government and private entities involved in improving highway safety. 22 Advances in vehicle technology, coupled with expanded participation by the public health and private sectors (Safe Communities Concept), and aggressive traffic safety education, enforcement and engineering programs should make the goals achievable. PLANNING PARTICIPANTS AND PARTNERS While the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office provides leadership and coordination for Oklahoma’s traffic safety efforts, we are supported by a variety of traffic safety advocates. Our partners include state agencies, local law enforcement agencies, faith groups, diversity groups, safety advocates and others interested in promoting traffic safety. Their input into our planning process is invaluable. The OHSO is an active member of the Oklahoma Traffic Records council, which is vital to traffic safety-related discussions and improvement efforts. Participants are State agencies, such as the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS), Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC), and the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH). Organizations such as the Oklahoma City Police Department, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) also are represented. Ideas from those and other agencies are received on a regular basis. The National Highway traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Region 6 makes regular input for consideration, and the OHSO participated in strategic planning for them. The OHSO communicates with the Indian Nations concerning potential projects with Native American groups or tribes. The OHSO staff briefs groups and/or participates in meetings regularly. The OHSO‘s Law Enforcement Liaisons meet with law enforcement personnel on a regular basis. Each year a traffic safety forum is conducted where issues and priorities are discussed with partners. The OHSO also chairs regular meetings of the Oklahoma Highway Safety Forum consisting of senior representatives of OHSO, FHWA, FMCSA, Safe Kids Oklahoma, AAA Oklahoma, ODOT, Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police, etc. This group discusses highway safety issues and solutions, legislation, and any subject related to highway safety. Active participation in the development of the State‘s Strategic Highway Safety Plan allowed for integration and coordination of key strategies for improving collaborative efforts in addressing highway safety counter measures. OHSO has cultivated excellent working relationships with most of Oklahoma‘s established law enforcement agencies since being legislatively created in 1967. We pride ourselves in the professionalism of these agencies and count on them for support. In order to conduct effective traffic enforcement programs, we believe these agencies must be governed by an internal set of operational policies. Such policies would include the regulation of seat belt use, equipment purchasing, maintenance and tracking. In addition, we actively encourage our law enforcement partners to regulate police pursuits by adopting policies similar to that developed by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. 23 FY 2012 PERFORMANCE MEASURES Overall Performance Measures To reduce the total number of traffic fatalities by 1.0% annually from 738 in 2009 to 695 in 2012.

Numerous applicants for traffic safety grants do, and must, use statistical problem identification to support their applications. The concerns of highway safety partners are heard and discussed at conferences, workshops and meetings. During special emphasis periods, surveys may be sent to appropriate agencies to ascertain priorities for the coming year. The OHSO may approach potential applicants about partnering in a project, or may receive unsolicited project applications. Applications undergo a thorough evaluation process. The process is defined in an OHSO Policy and Procedures Instruction, and includes both subjective and objective criteria. After multiple rounds of evaluation, applications are scored, and then ranked. Projects are selected and funded according to their rank. Special consideration is given to those projects that qualify under local benefit. Evaluation criteria include such elements as: problem identification, project goals and objectives, project description, evaluation and budget. Additionally, the application is reviewed to determine if the project is innovative, if there is “local match,” if there is community involvement, etc. For FY 12, the OHSO will be implementing a Traffic Corridor approach to targeting high collision areas of the state. Although our Targeted Area approach has been effective in building new partnerships and increasing enforcement in areas underrepresented by traffic law enforcement, we believe that coordinating traffic safety efforts of multiple jurisdictions along specific shared high collision corridors, we can be more effective. We will be working with our partners at the Oklahoma Department of Transportation in order to identify corridors and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol to coordinate state, county and local enforcement efforts. It is our intent to seek out potential partners and establish solid relationships, relying heavily on our Law Enforcement Liaisons. Sustained enforcement of statutes addressing impaired driving, occupant protection, and driving in excess of posted speed limits is a critical component of the OHSO Highway Safety Plan. Participating law enforcement agencies will not only participate in high visibility enforcement programs throughout the year, but will incorporate activities designed to create an environment of sustained enforcement. These efforts will be supported by a public information campaign which includes both paid and earned media components. 28 OTHER HIGHWAY SAFETY ISSUES IMPAIRED DRIVING, SPEEDING AND OCCUPANT PROTECTION SURVEYS In July 2010, the first combined impaired driving, speeding and occupant protection ‗attitude survey‘ was conducted in order to evaluate public attitudes and awareness regarding those topics. The results of the surveys were discussed in the FY 10 Annual Report. The survey was again conducted for FY 2011. The results changed little from the previous year. In general, that report concludes that drivers who engaged in risky behaviors were less concerned about the possibility of law enforcement intervention and were also less aware of the state‘s marketing efforts. The survey will be conducted again in FY 2012. A summary of the FY 2011 report is included in the Appendix. CORRIDOR PROJECTS The Oklahoma Highway Safety Corridor project is designed to address traffic safety issues in areas that reflect a pattern of crashes based upon a long-term review of crash data. The approach of the Plan is to address these traffic safety problems comprehensively – involving as many local stakeholders as possible. The Plan focuses on short term activities to make an immediate impact on the traffic safety of the affected areas, particularly the use of zero tolerance High Visibility Enforcement of traffic laws. The project is a collaborative effort of the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation. A steering committee will guide site selection, project selection, implementation and evaluation. The committee membership will be reflective of the three agencies involved. Corridor selection will be based on ODOT‘s Highway Safety Improvement Plan‘s 5% listing. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol will provide enhanced enforcement of the corridors using existing local Troop resources. The Oklahoma Department of Transportation will assist with limited upgrade services such as right-of-way clearing, striping and signage as appropriate. Working through our OHP Law Enforcement Liaisons, OHSO will provide funding for appropriate agencies with traffic enforcement authority along the corridor. A vital component of this project is public awareness. The OHSO and our partner agencies will work to develop public information activities along these corridors in an effort to make the public aware of the serious nature of the collisions in the defined areas and to inform them of increased enforcement activities. The collision picture within these corridors will be closely monitored in order to evaluate performance. While some short term improvement can be anticipated, our continued participation will be evaluated according to longer term effects. 29 NATIONAL MOBILIZATIONS The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office actively supports NHTSA‘s national mobilizations, including Click It or Ticket mobilization and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over crackdown. This is done in a variety of ways. Each partner agency receiving federal funding is required as a condition of their grant agreement to participate and report activities for each mobilization. Our LEL‘s have established and active network of law enforcement partners who are personally contacted prior to each mobilization. These agencies are provided opportunities for incentive awards after each mobilization. We actively promote the events with earned media and support from our Safe Community groups. Our paid media contractor promotes the mobilizations using the national messaging taglines. The contractor is required to report on the number of impressions achieved in each advertising venue. HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN HSP PROJECT LISTING BY PROGRAM (FUND) AREA OHSO carefully monitors all projects to ensure the appropriate use of restricted funds; Sections 402, 403,406, 408, 410, 2010, etc. In order to address the State‘s impaired driving challenges in FY 2012, many of our projects were provided Section 410 funding in addition to funding appropriate to their primary program focus. When this is done, that project is generally listed in this document under the program area responsible for the majority of the funding. Therefore a project receiving 60% Section 402 funds for Police Traffic Services activities and 40% Section 410 funds for impaired driving activities, will be listed under PTS, with both funding sources listed. Grant agreements delineate between the separate fund sources and activities are carefully tracked and billed to the appropriate fund. 30 31 PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION Planning and Administration Objectives To efficiently create, administer and evaluate Federal grant programs to achieve progress toward national and state goals to reduce fatalities and injuries on State roads and highways.

The official state survey remains at 85.9%. 8 Overall, the combined percentage of children who were properly restrained has remained relatively unchanged since 2006 (-0.08%). The 2010 survey (most recent) indicated an overall use rate of 85.5% compared with 86.3% for 2009. Occupant Protection Objectives To increase safety belt use to 88% by 2012 and to 89% by 2014. Occupant Protection Strategies During FY 2010, the total number of written occupant protection contacts made by all funded law enforcement agencies was 31,276; nearly double the number for the previous year. For FY 2012, we will continue to promote vigorous seat belt enforcement among our partners. Participating communities were chosen because of their relatively low seat belt use rates, with a special focus on the OKC metropolitan area. Strategies include: Providing sustained enforcement of seat belt and child passenger laws by supporting State and local law enforcement programs. Increasing seat belt use through the services of a full time LE Occupant Protection Specialist. Continuing to refine and conduct the strategies developed in our OP PEP plan. Promoting seat belt use through paid and earned media, sports venues, and other community events and fairs (See Paid Media Section, page 65). Conducting annual occupant protection surveys. Conducting statewide occupant protection surveys in order to gauge awareness of OP issues. Providing education and free child safety seats to eligible low-income parents. Promoting the proper use of child restraint systems by providing Technical Update training and Technician Certification training. Continuing to expand existing CPS programs to include more rural areas of Oklahoma. Supporting and encourage participation by law enforcement agencies in the national and State seat belt campaigns (Click it or Ticket, Buckle Up In Your Truck, etc.) Providing incentive awards to noncontract agencies in order to encourage participation in the CIOT campaign. Continuing occupant protection emphasis in all funded projects and promote increased child passenger safety use in minority populations. Promoting and supporting high visibility law enforcement, paid and earned media (See PTS Section page 51). 8Robert Delano, Ph.D. Statewide Safety Belt Survey 2011: University of Central Oklahoma.

Police Traffic Services Strategies Police Traffic Safety programs provide a variety of traffic enforcement and community education services, depending upon the specific needs of the community. Speeding, aggressive and impaired driving issues are all addressed through general PTS programs. Our strategies for addressing general traffic issues include: Supporting sustained enforcement by state and local law enforcement officers of drug and alcohol impaired drivers, seatbelt use, and driving in excess of posted speed limits, by funding general Police Traffic Service contracts statewide. Encouraging and supporting STEP projects focused on alcohol, speed, distracted and aggressive driving and occupant protection. Supporting and requiring (of OHSO contracted LE agencies) participation in National and State Mobilizations such as ―Click it or Ticket,‖ and ―Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over‖. All designated law enforcement agencies in the HSP are contractually required to participate in these mobilization events. Providing incentives for non-contract law enforcement agencies in major mobilizations to encourage participation and reporting. Working with not-for-profit and law enforcement agencies to enhance the driving skills of younger drivers. Supporting law enforcement and non-law enforcement efforts to address young driver issues. Providing advanced crash investigation classes for law enforcement agencies to improve data collection and analysis, though our Safe Communities organizations. Promoting responsible driving through media campaigns, sports events, fairs and other community events. Providing training to Project Directors and other safety advocates in managing traffic safety issues. Conducting workshops, speed management seminars, and other informational meetings to inform and educate traffic safety personnel and partners as appropriate or requested. 53 Police Traffic Services Projects Project Number: Multiple Project Name: See Table Agency: 22 LE Agencies (See Description below and PTS Budget Summary) Budget: See Budget Summary Description: Police Traffic Services projects are intended to address a variety of traffic safety issues at the local level. The law enforcement agencies listed in this section have identified a number of traffic collision problems within their jurisdictions and have proposed strategies to address them. These programs include the use of commissioned officers, working overtime shifts to target high collision areas and to focus their enforcement efforts on specific causation violations. STEP locations will be identified upon review of crash reports, arrest reports or citizen complaints and will be reviewed periodically for asset reallocation. Each participating agency will be required to support NHTSA’s goals and to support both major national mobilizations, including “Click It or Ticket” and the impaired driving crackdown, “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.‖ In addition to sustained High Visibility Enforcement efforts, these agencies will commit to an active Public Information and Educational component. In addition to the agencies listed, OHSO will target several communities along high collision corridors in Oklahoma for potential recruitment. Based on our most recent problem identification, our network of Law Enforcement Liaisons will be meeting with appropriate law enforcement representatives in an effort to join forces to address specific community needs. As agencies agree and grant agreements are written, OHSO will submit appropriate GTS updates. While all agencies identified as Police Traffic Services contracts will address speed management within their projects, eight communities have requested assistance with a defined speed management problem. Those communities are listed in the following chart and are identified as such. Speed Management Projects Project Number: Multiple Project Name: See Table Agency: Multiple (See Description below and PT Budget Summary) Budget: See Budget Summary (end of this section) Description: Speeding and speed related violations continue to be a serious contributor to fatal and injury collisions in Oklahoma. For FY 2012, OHSO has contracted with 7 local law enforcement agencies to address speeding in their communities. Officers working these programs will be targeting violations such as speed above the posted limit, speed too fast for conditions, following too closely and aggressive driving. They will patrol 54 locations which have a history of speed related collisions and speeding violations. Times may vary according their local traffic patterns in order to address their local problem. Each of these communities has established goals to reduce the number of fatal and serious injury collisions in their jurisdictions. Speed Enforcement Communities include: Blanchard, Edmond, Hugo, McAlester, Newcastle, Owasso, Purcell, and Wagoner County.

Not only has this allowed for timely submission from the field, but for greatly improved integration into court records systems. This has significantly improved the processing of citations, and has the potential to prevent future processing backlogs. However, Oklahoma currently lacks the ability to create timely and accessible citation and crash location maps. Creating such an interface will allow for the timely development of effective crash countermeasures; especially as it relates to county roads and city streets. Integrating GPS information into crash reports and electronically submitting that information to ODOT in an acceptable format will allow users to easily generate a variety of visual planning tools; eventually leading to the development of a statewide DDACTS system when linked to criminal data from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. Traffic Records Objectives To refine a program which will allow for the integration of GPS data into ODOT‘s SafeT crash records system. This will not only allow for improved mapping capabilities, but for the creation of an environment conducive to the timely development of enforcement countermeasures. To continue to expand the capabilities of ODOT‘s SafeT crash reporting system. To promote the use of the successfully tested online Collision Reporting System (CRS) in 2012. Traffic Records Strategies Oklahoma‘s Traffic Records Coordinating Committee has developed a 5 year plan for improving traffic records. Their overall strategies include: Assisting in the coordination and guidance of the planning and implementation of the various OK traffic records systems to improve information quality and quantity. Providing recommendations concerning the implementation of a strategic plan for improvement of the States‘ records systems. Assisting in the transfer of related information on technology and systems through meetings and forums Providing recommendations to the various agencies on systems enhancements and linkages Facilitating the exchange of information among partners of the Council 58 Traffic Records Projects Project Number: K9-12-06-01-05 Project Title: State Data Linkage Project Agency: Oklahoma State Health Department Budget: $108,000 Section: 408 Description: This cooperative agreement with the Oklahoma State Department of Health provides support for data linkage projects through the continuation of a data linkage network of linked crash and injury data.

Secondary messages may include other areas of concern such as distracted driving, child passenger safety, bicycle/pedestrian safety. Through an advertising agency, appropriate media spots such as radio, television, Internet and billboard will be produced, as well as occasional print materials. A portion of the project funds will be used to buy air time and leverage additional donated air play. The contractor will be required to recommend, initiate and foster partnerships with the Department of Public Safety, Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, trade associations, chambers of commerce, businesses and other governmental entities to maximize exposure and awareness of the appropriate campaign. The contractor will be responsible for developing and creating a marketing campaign focused on the promotion of increased enforcement, reduction of fatalities and injuries, and implementation of the campaign, once creative concepts/designs have been approved by the OHSO. The contractor will be responsible for conducting a statewide survey in order to evaluate the public’s awareness and attitudes regarding impaired driving, occupant protection and speeding. The results will be reviewed in order to assist with the development of future countermeasures. The contractor will be required to provide the OHSO with the number of paid airings devoted to each announcement and the estimated size of audience, based on Arbitron or Nielsen ratings. In addition, a more extensive assessment to measure target audience reaction will be created by the contractor. Acceptable evaluation standards include, but are not limited to, mail surveys, telephone surveys, focus groups, mall intercept interviews, direct mailings, call-in centers, newspaper polls, household interviews, the ―before and after‖ approach, Internet tracking, and the control region approach. Section 410 funds will be used to support impaired driving programs such as the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” mobilization. Section 2010 funds will be used to support motorcycle safety and awareness programs (as allowed under Section 2010). Section 402 funds will be used for occupant protection and other appropriate messaging. 64 SPORTS MARKETING Project Number: Multiple Project Name: Multiple Agency: OHSO Budget: See Paid Media Budget Summary This project consists of multiple components to develop a series of year-round integrated marketing communications activities that build upon, leverage and maximize the impact of the major enforcement and paid advertising campaigns. The activities in this project will communicate traffic safety messages to the public through sports venues, and will proactively encourage behavioral change that will save Oklahoma lives. Through event marketing, television, radio, venue signage, printed materials and Internet, this project is designed to communicate our traffic safety messages as efficiently as possible. A variety of sports marketing venues and vendors have been selected based on the maximum impact on appropriate target audiences (determined by statewide data). Primary messaging will be directed at Impaired Driving, Motorcycle Safety and Occupant Protection. Sports marketing through appropriate vendors will reach sports fans and the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, Tulsa University, and the OKC Redhawks. Other Marketing Efforts The OHSO is also developing a ―new media‖ approach to marketing that will involve an agency Facebook© page, enhanced Web advertising (in conjunction with existing mobilizations/projects), a YouTube© channel and possibly a Twitter© account. The goal of this social media marketing project is to support the OHSO‘s vision and mission by promoting highway safety messages that will reach a large audience within our targeted demographic (typically, males age 18-24, but also a wide range of readers/viewers). Because of the age, interests, and information-gathering methods of the OHSO‘s target audience, we are seeking to employ the means of communication that are relevant, engaging and time-sensitive. A robust Web presence will enable us to promote expedient messages related to drug/alcohol impairment, occupant protection, child passenger safety, seat belt usage, distracted driving, motorcycle safety, and other project/interest areas. 65 Paid Media: Budget Summary Pro ject N umbe r Project Name Budget Budget Source PM- 12- 02- 01- 06 Media - Brother & Co 145,000.00 Section 402 K8PM- 12- 02- 01- 06 Media - Brother & Co 270,000.00 Section 410 K6- 12- 02- 02- 06 Media - Brother & Co 10,662.82 Section 2010 Sports Marketing K4- 12- 02- 01- 00 Redhawks 29,750.00 Section 406 K4- 12- 02- 01- 00 HS Rodeo 2,000.00 Section 406 K8PM- 12- 02- 02- 00 Learfield - OSU 118,000.00 Section 410 K8PM- 12- 02- 02- 00 Learfield - OU 188,100.00 Section 410 K8PM- 12- 02- 02- 00 Learfield - Tulsa Golden Hurricanes 16,500.00 Section 410 K8PM- 12- 02- 02- 00 Redhawks 29,750.00 Section 410 K8PM- 12- 02- 02- 00 Thunder 155,000.00 Section 410 K8- 12- 07- 02- 00 State Match 2,332,050.00 State of Oklahoma 402 Total 145,000.00 406 Total 31,750.00 410 Total 777,350.00 2010 Total 10,662.82 State Funds Total 2,332,050.00 Total All Funds 3,296,812.82 66 Combined Messaging to Reduce Unrestrained and Impaired Driving Fatalities and Injuries Project Number: NHTSA Cooperative Agreement DTNH22-10-H-00329 Project Name: Joint Messaging Project Agency: OHSO Budget: $211,213.60 Section 403 Oklahoma is partnering with NHTSA to evaluate a program which will: 1) Develop and test an umbrella evergreen enforcement message (seat belts, alcohol and speed) and strategic communications plan that can be used to publicize a variety of enforcement efforts and to 2) Incorporate this new message into existing high visibility enforcement efforts to assess its effect on occupant protection and impaired driving.
