ATTACHMENT
The Miami Aggressive Driving Enforcement Project seeks to reduce the number of aggressive
driving incidents by enforcing Florida's Traffic Statutes and by educating the public in the
dangers and consequences of aggressive driving. The unmarked, non-traditional enforcement
vehicles will serve as a tool in accomplishing this task by enforcing violations that have little
chance of being enforced when an officer is in a marked vehicle. The multiple objectives of this
project include targeting aggressive drivers with enforcement and education, decreasing the
number of crashes in areas where aggressive driving is prevalent and reducing altercations that
are the result of aggressive driving. The specific goal of this project is to reduce crashes and
traffic related altercations by 2.5% during the grant period.
The Police Department will utilize the awarded FDOT Highway Safety Funds to purchase the
following equipment for the implementation of the Miami Aggressive Driving Enforcement
Project:
1) Two (2) Unmarked Vehicles
2) Variable Message Sign/Trailer
3) Emergency Equipment
4) Radar Speed measurement Devices
5) In -Car Police Radios
6) Electronic Citation Writer Bundle
7) Laser Speed Measurement Devices
8) In -Car Computer Stands
