Home My WebLink About19 - Acceptance of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant PT26058Q �EwPpRT CITY OF s NEWPORT BEACH `q44:09 City Council Staff Report September 23, 2025 Agenda Item No. 19 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: David Miner, Chief of Police - 949-644-3701, dminer@nbpd.org PREPARED BY: Sabrina Fabbri, Traffic Sergeant - 949-644-3743, sfabbri@nbpd.org TITLE: Acceptance of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant PT26058 ABSTRACT: The Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) seeks acceptance of a grant totaling $515,000 from the State of California, Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to fund a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Enforcement and Awareness Program, Traffic Safety Enforcement Operations and DUI Sobriety Checkpoints. RECOMMENDATIONS: a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; b) Authorize the City Council to accept a $515,000 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program award granted to the Newport Beach Police Department by the State of California, Office of Traffic Safety; and c) Approve Budget No. Amendment 26-028 increasing Newport Beach Police Department revenue estimates and expenditure appropriations by $515,000. DISCUSSION: Newport Beach is an attractive location for Orange County nightlife and routinely competes with other cities for the most Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control licensed establishments in the State of California (per capita). The population of Newport Beach is approximately 87,000 residents; however, during the summer months the City experiences an increase in daily visitors that routinely exceeds 100,000. While tourism generates positive tax revenue for the City of Newport Beach, it also stresses the infrastructure, the NBPD and other City departments. In 2007, the NBPD's first grant was requested and awarded through the OTS. Since then, the Department has been dedicated to community education, traffic enforcement, and the reduction of DUI -related collisions. The NBPD continues to recognize the need for ongoing DUI enforcement and education, as the Traffic Data Summary Table below shows. 19-1 Acceptance of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant PT26058 September 23, 2025 Page 2 Collision Type 2022 Totals 2023 Totals 2024 Totals Collisions Victims Collisions Victims Collisions Victims Fatal 7 10 4 4 6 6 Injury 344 464 395 518 422 552 2022 — Alcohol / Hit & Run / Nighttime Related Collisions 2023 — Alcohol / Hit & Run / Nighttime Related Collisions 2024 — Alcohol / Hit & Run / Nighttime Related Collisions Fatal Injury Killed Injured Fatal Injury Killed Injured Fatal Injury Killed Injured Alcohol- Involved 3 63 5 86 0 60 1 75 2 67 2 84 Hit & Run 1 29 1 33 0 28 1 30 1 21 1 23 Nighttime (2100-0259 hours) 2 65 4 89 1 45 1 55 2 65 23 91 Top 3 Primary Collision Factors 2024 Total Collisions Fatal Injury #1- Speed 274 160 #2 - DUI 176 45 #3 - Unsafe Turn 133 62 The NBPD applied for, and has been awarded, a grant from OTS to increase DUI enforcement and awareness and to fund additional traffic safety enforcement in the City. Funds for grant number PT26058 become available on October 1, 2025, and will expire on September 30, 2026. The grant funds will cover overtime and benefit costs for officers specifically assigned to DUI enforcement and awareness programs. This includes a full-time officer dedicated to DUI Enforcement, DUI Checkpoint Operations, DUI Saturation Patrol Operations and Traffic Enforcement Operations related to distracted driving, motorcycle safety and bicycle/pedestrian enforcement. In -state travel and training expenses are also included in the grant for officers attending the Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement, and Drug Recognition Expert training courses. The "Know Your Limit" program is also a part of the grant this year. The "Know Your Limit" program is a collaborative effort between the NBPD and Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) licensed establishments to educate patrons about the dangers of drinking and driving. NBPD personnel visit local alcohol -licensed establishments and provide patrons with voluntary breath tests in order to educate them on their blood alcohol concentration, thereby allowing patrons to "Know Your Limit" before they consider driving after consuming alcohol. Almost all DUI efforts involve overtime, as they are unique and short-term assignments that do not involve personnel scheduled to work a regular patrol assignment. In other words, the NBPD retains the same number of officers on regularly scheduled patrol while additional officers are added for the sole purpose of conducting OTS grant -funded DUI enforcement at no additional cost to the City. 19-2 Acceptance of the State of California Office of Traffic Safety Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant PT26058 September 23, 2025 Page 3 FISCAL IMPACT: Revenue estimates and expenditure appropriations will be increased to accept the 2026 State of California, OTS Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Grant (#PT26058) for increasing DUI Enforcement and Awareness and funding additional traffic safety enforcement, as well as DUI Sobriety Checkpoints.

(most recent calendar year datalstats). According to the most recent data (2022) from the California Office of Traffic Safety, the City of Newport Beach ranks 66th out of 104 similarly sized California cities in crash -related categories per capita. This ranking highlights a clear opportunity for improvement. By leveraging grant funding and implementing a proactive strategy, Newport Beach can address critical areas such as reducing fatal and injury crashes involving motorcyclists, bicyclists, unsafe speeds, and impaired drivers. As a destination city attracting visitors from across the region, state, and world, Newport Beach experiences a significant daily population increase. Many individuals come to work, shop, dine, or enjoy the beaches, adding to the traffic on local roadways and contributing to the city's current crash statistics. To enhance roadway safety for all users —including residents, businesses, and visitors —the Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) continues to utilize funding from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to provide traffic education, enforce safety laws, and target impaired driving, including DUls involving alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both. 2023 Traffic Crash Data In 2023, Newport Beach experienced 749 traffic crashes, with 396 resulting in injuries affecting 518 victims. The high number of traffic -related violations reflects the challenges posed by both residents and the influx of visitors to the city's beaches, restaurants, and shopping destinations. • Impaired Driving: • 146 traffic crashes in 2023 were attributed to DUI as the primary factor. • Tragically, in May 2024, a 14-year-old pedestrian lost her life in a crashes caused by a driver under the influence of alcohol. • Additionally, 75 individuals were injured in alcohol -related crashes. • Newport Beach ranks 14th out of 104 cities for alcohol -involved injury/fatal crasshes (NHTSA). Despite these numbers, the city ranks 90th out of 104 for DUI arrests, reflecting an ongoing effort to improve enforcement and reduce DUI incidents. Unsafe Speed and Racing Vehicles Unsafe speed was the leading primary crashes factor in 2023, accounting for 270 crashes. The city's long stretches of roadways often encourage speeding, creating hazardous conditions for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Additionally, NBPD regularly receives complaints about modified vehicles with loud exhausts and racing, further exacerbating safety risks in the community. Bicycle and E-Bike Safety As a beach community with a daily population of approximately 86,000—frequently swelling to over 100,000 depending on weather and seasonal factors —Newport Beach faces unique challenges in managing bicycle and pedestrian traffic. In 2023, 100 injury crashes involved bicyclists. The rise in a -bike usage has emerged as a significant concern. Complaints about e-bike riders frequently involve: • Minors not wearing helmets. • Unsafe operations and California Vehicle Code (CVC) violations, • Near -crashes between e-bike riders and pedestrians. Increased education and enforcement are essential to address these concerns and ensure safer streets for all users. Motorcycle Safety Newport Beach's scenic coastline attracts many motorcyclists, adding to traffic safety challenges. In 2023, there were 25 motorcycle crashes, 23 of which resulted in injuries affecting 16 victims. Factors contributing to these incidents include motorcyclists failing to follow traffic laws and general motorists failing to share the road responsibly. Ensuring safer conditions for motorcyclists and other road users remains a priority for the NBPD. The Newport Beach Police Department remains committed to addressing these challenges through education, enforcement, and collaboration with community and law enforcement partners. By focusing on primary crashes factors, impaired driving, unsafe speed, and bicycle and pedestrian safety, the department aims to create a safer environment for all who live, work, and visit Newport Beach. Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).

Certified training courses are EXEMPT from the approval process. • The OTS PIO is responsible for the approval of the design and content of materials. The agency understands OTS PIO approval is not authorizing approval of budget expenditure or cost. Any cost approvals must come from the OTS grant coordinator. • Pre -approval is not required when using any OTS-supplied template for media advisories, news releases, social media graphics, videos or posts, or any other OTS-supplied educational material. However, copy the OTS PIO at pio(a7ots.ca.gov and your OTS grant coordinator when any material is distributed to the media and public, such as a news release, educational material, or link to social media post. • If an OTS-supplied template, educational material, social media graphic, post or video is substantially changed, the changes shall be sent to the OTS PIO at pio(aD_ots.ca.gov for approval and copy your OTS grant coordinator. • News releases, social media posts and alerts on platforms such as NextDoor and Nixle reporting immediate and time -sensitive grant activities (e.g. enforcement operations, day of event highlights or announcements, event invites) are EXEMPT from the OTS PIO approval process. The OTS PIO and your OTS grant coordinator should still be notified when the grant -related activity is happening (e.g, car seat checks, bicycle rodeos, community presentations, DUI checkpoints, etc.). • Enforcement activities such as warrant and probation sweeps, court stings, etc. that are embargoed or could impact operations by publicizing in advance are EXEMPT from the PIO approval process. However, announcements and results of activities should still be copied to the OTS PIO at pio(cDots.ca.gov and your OTS grant coordinator with the embargoed date and time or with "INTERNAL ONLY: DO NOT RELEASE" message in subject line of email. • Any earned or paid media campaigns for TV, radio, digital or social media that are part of a specific grant objective, using OTS grant funds, or designed and developed using contractual services by a subgrantee, requires prior approval. • Social media posts highlighting state or national traffic safety campaigns (Distracted Driving Month, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, etc.), enforcement operations (DUI checkpoints, etc.), or any other grant -related activity such as Bicycle rodeos, presentations, or events, are highly encouraged but do not require prior approval. • Submit a draft or rough -cut of all digital, printed, recorded or video material (brochures, posters, scripts, artwork, trailer graphics, digital graphics, social posts connected to an earned or paid media campaign grant objective) to the OTS PIO at pJ_Q(_5_)ots.ca.gov and copy your OTS grant coordinator for approval prior to the production or duplication. • Use the following standard language in all press, media, and printed materials, space permitting: Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. • Space permitting, include the OTS logo on all grant -funded print materials, graphics and paid or earned social media campaign grant objective; consult the OTS PIO and copy your OTS grant coordinator for specifics, format -appropriate logos, or if space does not permit the use of the OTS logo. • Email the OTS PIO at pio(cDots.ca.gov and copy your OTS grant coordinator at least 21 days in advance, or when first confirmed, a short description of any significant grant -related traffic safety event or program, particularly events that are highly publicized beforehand with anticipated media coverage so OTS has sufficient notice to arrange for attendance and/or participation in the event.

(most recent calendar year data/stats). According to the most recent data (2022) from the California Office of Traffic Safety, the City of Newport Beach ranks 66th out of 104 similarly sized California cities in crash -related categories per capita. This ranking highlights a clear opportunity for improvement. By leveraging grant funding and implementing a proactive strategy, Newport Beach can address critical areas such as reducing fatal and injury crashes involving motorcyclists, bicyclists, unsafe speeds, and impaired drivers. As a destination city attracting visitors from across the region, state, and world, Newport Beach experiences a significant daily population increase. Many individuals come to work, shop, dine, or enjoy the beaches, adding to the traffic on local roadways and contributing to the city's current crash statistics. To enhance roadway safety for all users —including residents, businesses, and visitors —the Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) continues to utilize funding from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to provide traffic education, enforce safety laws, and target impaired driving, including DUls involving alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both. 2023 Traffic Crash Data In 2023, Newport Beach experienced 749 traffic crashes, with 396 resulting in injuries affecting 518 victims. The high number of traffic -related violations reflects the challenges posed by both residents and the influx of visitors to the city's beaches, restaurants, and shopping destinations. • Impaired Driving: • 146 traffic crashes in 2023 were attributed to DUI as the primary factor. • Tragically, in May 2024, a 14-year-old pedestrian lost her life in a crashes caused by a driver under the influence of alcohol. • Additionally, 75 individuals were injured in alcohol -related crashes. • Newport Beach ranks 14th out of 104 cities for alcohol -involved injury/fatal crasshes (NHTSA). Despite these numbers, the city ranks 90th out of 104 for DUI arrests, reflecting an ongoing effort to improve enforcement and reduce DUI incidents. Unsafe Speed and Racing Vehicles Unsafe speed was the leading primary crashes factor in 2023, accounting for 270 crashes. The city's long stretches of roadways often encourage speeding, creating hazardous conditions for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Additionally, NBPD regularly receives complaints about modified vehicles with loud exhausts and racing, further exacerbating safety risks in the community. Bicycle and E-Bike Safety As a beach community with a daily population of approximately 86,000—frequently swelling to over 100,000 depending on weather and seasonal factors —Newport Beach faces unique challenges in managing bicycle and pedestrian traffic. In 2023, 100 injury crashes involved bicyclists. The rise in e-bike usage has emerged as a significant concern. Complaints about a -bike riders frequently involve: • Minors not wearing helmets. • Unsafe operations and California Vehicle Code (CVC) violations. • Near -crashes between a -bike riders and pedestrians. Increased education and enforcement are essential to address these concerns and ensure safer streets for all users. Motorcycle Safety Newport Beach's scenic coastline attracts many motorcyclists, adding to traffic safety challenges. In 2023, there were 25 motorcycle crashes, 23 of which resulted in injuries affecting 16 victims. Factors contributing to these incidents include motorcyclists failing to follow traffic laws and general motorists failing to share the road responsibly. Ensuring safer conditions for motorcyclists and other road users remains a priority for the NBPD. The Newport Beach Police Department remains committed to addressing these challenges through education, enforcement, and collaboration with community and law enforcement partners. By focusing on primary crashes factors, impaired driving, unsafe speed, and bicycle and pedestrian safety, the department aims to create a safer environment for all who live, work, and visit Newport Beach.
