Statement of the Problem: (Provide details about the traffic safety problem that you want to address)
With over 463,347 residents, Miami is the second-largest city in the State of Florida. Miami's reputation as a
major center, and a leader in finance, commerce, culture, media, entertainment, the arts, and international trade
has resulted in booming urban growth. Since 2012 , in Downtown Miami alone, 5,180 new condo units have
been delivered with an additional 5,078 units currently under construction (1). As a result, the City attracts a
growing number of new residents, visitors, and a significant commuting workforce. Downtown Miami is also
home to the Port of Miami, the largest passenger port in the world, and one of the largest cargo ports in the
United States. In an urban city that is not only densely populated but also is a popular U.S. tourist destination,
the daytime population can sometimes reach almost a million —significantly increasing the amount of cars on
the road during peak season. With the rising demands of a growing service population, the City of Miami lies
within the top 25% of cities in the FDOT FY2020 Highway Safety Matrix — Ranking of Florida Cities. In
particular, it is #4 in "Speed/Aggressive Driving" categories.
According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), "aggressive driving" is defined
as when "an individual commits a combination of moving traffic offenses so as to endanger other persons or
property." It is estimated that nearly two-thirds of all traffic fatalities are caused by aggressive driving, and that
speeding is the leading cause of fatalities as related to aggressive driving crashes. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NTHSA) found that aggressive driving played a role in 56 percent of fatal crashes
from 2003 through 2007, with excessive speed being the number one factor. In 2016, speeding was a
contributing factor in 27 percent of all fatal crashes (3).
The City of Miami is divided into twelve Neighborhood Enhancement Teams, otherwise known as NET areas.
While each NET area is its own unique community, they all have the unfortunate commonality of being afflicted
by high instances of vehicular crashes. For example, in 2018, Coconut Grove, a popular neighborhood for
tourists, experienced 478 crashes. Conversley, the NET area of working-class Little Havana had a total of 461
crash incidents. Overall, the City of Miami experienced a total of 4,494 crashes between 2017 and 2018.
Aggressive driving and speeding leads to car accident injury, and, sadly, even death. It is imperative for MPD
to committ additional resources and manpower throughout the City of Miami neighborhoods (12 NET areas) to
positively affect aggressive driving behaviour and moving trafic offenses, hence, reducing the number of
vehicular crashes and accidents.

Proposed Solution: (Provide the specific countermeasure(s), chapter, and section you plan on implementing
from the NHTSA Countermearsures That Work guide, found here. Explain how the countermeasure(s) that you
plan to implement will address the problem and how the funding that you have requested will support those
countermeasure(s). If no NHTSA countermeasure(s) exist, explain the basis or your selected strategy and how
it will be effective.)
According to the FDOT FY 2020 Highway Safety Matrix — Ranking of Florida Cities, Miami is ranked #4 in
"Speeding or Aggressive Driving" and lies within the top 25% of cities in the State. To ensure the public's
safety, the City of Miami Police Department proposes to use FDOT funding to support the FY 2020
"Speed/Aggressive Driving Enforcement Saturation Patrol Project" to decrease hazardous driving incidents
attributed to Speeding or Aggressive Driving. The project will use concepts from Countermeasure That Work
Guide found in Chapter 3, Speeding and Speed Management, 2.2 High Visibility Enforcement. High visibility
enforcement campaigns have been used to deter speeding and aggressive driving through both specific and
general deterrence. In the high visibility enforcement model, law enforcement targets selected high -crash or
high -violation geographical areas using either expanded regular patrols or designated aggressive driving
patrols. The strategy is very similar to saturation patrols directed at alcohol -impaired drivers.
Because speeding and aggressive driving are moving violations, officers cannot use checkpoints. Rather, they
must observe driving behavior on the road. Therefore, MPD is requesting FDOT funding to enhance its
enforcement efforts and deterrence capability, with the execution of city-wide "Speed/Aggressive Driving
Saturation Patrols" (Saturation Patrols). FDOT funds will be allocated toward off -duty personnel who must work
overtime to man these patrols. This project will use a high visibility enforcement model, where officers will focus
on drivers who commit common aggressive driving actions such as:
• Speeding and/or racing;
• Improper or erratic lane changing;
• Sudden and erratic speed changes;
• Illegal driving on shoulders, sidewalks or medians;
• Prohibited and dangerous passing and merging;
• Following other vehicles too closely;
• Running red lights;
• Failure to yield right of way;
• Making improper turns
Each of Miami's 12 NET areas will be assigned Saturation Patrols. Officers assigned to a NET area operate
from one of three police stations throughout the City of Miami, and every NET area and its officers are led by a

NET Commander. Officers who are laser/radar certified, will be assigned to a Saturation Patrol operation. NET
Commanders or designated supervising officers for each NET, will schedule these operations throughout the
grant period. They will target high -accident locations and major corridors in their respective areas. These
corridors or "hot spots" will be identified using data from resident calls to police, crash reports and speeding
ticket reports.
To ensure this project will decrease Speed/Aggressive traffic incidents city-wide, each of the 12 NET areas will
have 2-3 Saturation Patrol operations per week, which amounts to roughly 24-36 Saturation Patrols weekly
throughout the City during the grant period. For large -scale operations, Saturation Patrols will consist of 2-5
officers and one Supervisor. Small-scale operations will include individual officers targeting specific locations
where aggressive driving has been determined. The amount of weekly operations (up to 36), plus the 2-5
Officers who will man each Saturation Patrol operation, may result in anywhere from 5-45 Officers working
throughout the 12 NET areas on a weekly basis during the grant period. FDOT funding dedicated to overtime
pay for the Saturation Patrols, will be divided among the 12 NET precincts.
Currently, MPD owns 47 lasers speed measurement devices that are divided among the 12 NET areas,
resulting in only 3-4 lasers devices per NET. In order to complete the scope of this project, the City will also
utilize FDOT funding for the purchase of approximately 50 laser speed measuring devices. While aggressive
driving tactics will also be the target of the Saturation Patrols, the lasers are the most accurate tool Officers
have to capture speed violators. This is especially important in hot spots where officers are deployed to reduce
speeding infractions. The devices also emit Class 1 eye -safe signal, measure speeds ranging from 2 to 200
mph and provide complete vehicle classification. Lasers can detect speeds from as far away as 1,000 feet,
providing Officers with enough time to safely acquire a reading.
MPD is committed to the safety of all who live, work and visit the City of Miami. Pre and post operations'
briefings will be conducted to ensure all officers are made aware and understand the policies and procedures ,
goals, duties, and objectives of the operation. The Saturation Patrols will have a high visibility police presence
and serve to reduce serious vehicular crashes.

Sustainability: (Provide details about how you plan to continue the safety efforts after the initial funding period
has ended. If you cannot continue the safety efforts, provide details about what will prevent you from continuing.)
MPD is committed to making Miami's streets safe by reducing the number of traffic crashes related to
Speeding or Aggressive Driving. To guarantee the sustainability of the FY 2020 "Speed/Aggressive Driving
Enforcement Saturation Patrol Project"after grant funding is expended, MPD will work with The City of Miami's
Office of Grants Administration to search and submit for additional grant opportunities to ensure the project
remains funded.
Project Objectives: (List the short term objectives that you have for the project. All objectives must be
quantifiable, such as, "To reduce the number of crashes by 5% compared to the 3 year average of the most

recent data by conducting 12 sobriety checkpoints during the sub -grant period; providing 12 public education
outreach events in the community during the sub -grant period.")
1) Each NET area conducts up to 3 Saturation Patrol operations per week.
2) During the grant period, reduce the number of Speed/Aggressive-related crashes in the City of Miami by
3-5% compared to the three year average of the most
recent data.
3) During the grant period, reduce the number of Speed/Aggressive-related fatalities by 3-5% compared to the
three year average of the most recent data.
4) During the grant period, reduce the number of crashes in each of the 12 NET areas by 3-5% compared to
the three year average of the most recent data.
Evaluation: (Explain how you will determine each project objective has been met by using one or more of the
following methods: Formative, Process/Administrative, Impact, and Outcome. Details about the four methods of
evaluation can be found here)
The "Process Evaluation" method is most suitable for evaluating the number of "Speeding/Aggressive Driving
Saturation Patrols" and motorists who received educational literature. This method lends itself to assessing the
completion of steps taken to achieve desired program outcomes. Conducting the patrols are all part of the
process of reducing Speed/Aggressive Driving related fatalities and traffic crashes, they are the "steps taken".
The "Outcome Evaluation" method will be used to evaluate reduction in Speed/Aggressive Driving related
traffic crashes. This will provide a quantifiable framework by which we can measure the results of this program,
as it considers program goals to determine if desired changes have been attained as a result of the
intervention.
To ensure a thorough evaluation of the success of our FY 2020 "Speed/Aggressive Driving Enforcement
Saturation Patrol Project" , the City of Miami Police Department will measure the following metrics:
1) Number of Operations conducted per quarter.
2) Number of Patrols conducted per month.
3) Number of Speed/Aggressive Driving related crashes.
5) Number of Speed/Aggressive Driving related traffic fatalities.

attributed to Speeding or Aggressive Driving. The project will use concepts from Countermeasure That Work
Guide found in Chapter 3, Speeding and Speed Management, 2.2 High Visibility Enforcement. High visibility
enforcement campaigns have been used to deter speeding and aggressive driving through both specific and
general deterrence. In the high visibility enforcement model, law enforcement targets selected high -crash or
high -violation geographical areas using either expanded regular patrols or designated aggressive driving
patrols. The strategy is very similar to saturation patrols directed at alcohol -impaired drivers.
Because speeding and aggressive driving are moving violations, officers cannot use checkpoints. Rather, they
must observe driving behavior on the road. Therefore, MPD is requesting FDOT funding to enhance its
enforcement efforts and deterrence capability, with the execution of city-wide "Speed/Aggressive Driving
Saturation Patrols" (Saturation Patrols). FDOT funds will be allocated toward off -duty personnel who must work
overtime to man these patrols. This project will use a high visibility enforcement model, where officers will focus
on drivers who commit common aggressive driving actions such as:
• Speeding and/or racing;
• Improper or erratic lane changing;
• Sudden and erratic speed changes;
• Illegal driving on shoulders, sidewalks or medians;
• Prohibited and dangerous passing and merging;
• Following other vehicles too closely;
• Running red lights;
• Failure to yield right of way;
• Making improper turns
Each of Miami's 12 NET areas will be assigned Saturation Patrols. Officers assigned to a NET area operate
from one of three police stations throughout the City of Miami, and every NET area and its officers are led by a
NET Commander. Officers who are laser/radar certified, will be assigned to a Saturation Patrol operation. NET
Commanders or designated supervising officers for each NET, will schedule these operations throughout the
grant period. They will target high -accident locations and major corridors in their respective areas. These
corridors or "hot spots" will be identified using data from resident calls to police, crash reports and speeding
ticket reports.
To ensure this project will decrease Speed/Aggressive traffic incidents city-wide, each of the 12 NET areas will
have 2-3 Saturation Patrol operations per week, which amounts to roughly 24-36 Saturation Patrols weekly
throughout the City during the grant period. For large -scale operations, Saturation Patrols will consist of 2-5
officers and one Supervisor. Small-scale operations will include individual officers targeting specific locations
where aggressive driving has been determined. The amount of weekly operations (up to 36), plus the 2-5
Officers who will man each Saturation Patrol operation, may result in anywhere from 5-45 Officers working
throughout the 12 NET areas on a weekly basis during the grant period. FDOT funding dedicated to overtime
pay for the Saturation Patrols, will be divided among the 12 NET precincts.
Currently, MPD owns 47 lasers speed measurement devices that are divided among the 12 NET areas,
resulting in only 3-4 lasers devices per NET. In order to complete the scope of this project, the City will also
utilize FDOT funding for the purchase of approximately 50 laser speed measuring devices. While aggressive
driving tactics will also be the target of the Saturation Patrols, the lasers are the most accurate tool Officers

have to capture speed violators. This is especially important in hot spots where officers are deployed to reduce
speeding infractions. The devices also emit Class 1 eye -safe signal, measure speeds ranging from 2 to 200
mph and provide complete vehicle classification. Lasers can detect speeds from as far away as 1,000 feet,
providing Officers with enough time to safely acquire a reading.
MPD is committed to the safety of all who live, work and visit the City of Miami. Pre and post operations'
briefings will be conducted to ensure all officers are made aware and understand the policies and procedures ,
goals, duties, and objectives of the operation. The Saturation Patrols will have a high visibility police presence
and serve to reduce serious vehicular crashes.
Sustainability:
MPD is committed to making Miami's streets safe by reducing the number of traffic crashes related to
Speeding or Aggressive Driving. To guarantee the sustainability of the FY 2020 "Speed/Aggressive Driving
Enforcement Saturation Patrol Project"after grant funding is expended, MPD will work with The City of Miami's
Office of Grants Administration to search and submit for additional grant opportunities to ensure the project
remains funded.
Project Objectives:
1) Each NET area conducts up to 3 Saturation Patrol operations per week.
2) During the grant period, reduce the number of Speed/Aggressive-related crashes in the City of Miami by
3-5% compared to the three year average of the most
recent data.
3) During the grant period, reduce the number of Speed/Aggressive-related fatalities by 3-5% compared to the
three year average of the most recent data.
4) During the grant period, reduce the number of crashes in each of the 12 NET areas by 3-5% compared to
the three year average of the most recent data.
Evaluation:
The "Process Evaluation" method is most suitable for evaluating the number of "Speeding/Aggressive Driving
Saturation Patrols" and motorists who received educational literature. This method lends itself to assessing the
completion of steps taken to achieve desired program outcomes. Conducting the patrols are all part of the
process of reducing Speed/Aggressive Driving related fatalities and traffic crashes, they are the "steps taken".

State clearly and in detail the aims of the project, precisely what will be done, who will be involved, and what is
expected to result.
1. Statement of the Problem:
With over 463,347 residents, Miami is the second-largest city in the State of
Florida. Miami's reputation as a major center, and a leader in finance,
commerce, culture, media, entertainment, the arts, and international trade
has resulted in booming urban growth. Since 2012, in Downtown Miami
alone, 5,180 new condo units have been developed with an additional 5,078
units currently under construction (1). As a result, the City attracts a growing
number of new residents, visitors, and a significant commuting workforce.
Downtown Miami is also home to the Port of Miami, the largest passenger
port in the world, and one of the largest cargo ports in the United States. In
an urban city that is not only densely populated but also is a popular U.S.
tourist destination, the daytime population can sometimes reach almost a
million —significantly increasing the amount of cars on the road during peak
season. With the rising demands of a growing service population, the City of
Miami lies within the top 25% of cities in the FDOT FY2020 Highway Safety
Matrix — Ranking of Florida Cities. In particular, it is #4 in
"Speed/Aggressive Driving" categories.
According to the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), "aggressive driving" is defined as when "an individual commits a
combination of moving traffic offenses so as to endanger other persons or
property." It is estimated that nearly two-thirds of all traffic fatalities are
caused by aggressive driving, and that speeding is the leading cause of
fatalities as related to aggressive driving crashes. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NTHSA) found that aggressive driving played
a role in 56 percent of fatal crashes from 2003 through 2007, with excessive
speed being the number one factor. In 2016, speeding was a contributing
factor in 27 percent of all fatal crashes (3).
The City of Miami is divided into twelve Neighborhood Enhancement
Teams, otherwise known as (NET) areas. While each NET area is its own
unique community, they all have the unfortunate commonality of being
afflicted by high instances of vehicular crashes. For example, in 2018,
Coconut Grove, a popular neighborhood for tourists, experienced 478
crashes. Conversley, the NET area of working-class Little Havana had a
total of 461 crash incidents. Overall, the City of Miami experienced a total of

Project Plan and Supporting Data
4,494 crashes between 2017 and 2018.
Aggressive driving and speeding leads to car accident injury, and, sadly,
even death. It is imperative for Miami Police Department (MPD) to committ
additional resources and manpower throughout the City of Miami
neighborhoods (12 NET areas) to positively affect aggressive driving
behaviour and moving trafic offenses, hence, reducing the number of
vehicular crashes and accidents.

2. Proposed Solution:
According to the FDOT FY 2020 Highway Safety Matrix — Ranking of
Florida Cities, Miami is ranked #4 in "Speeding or Aggressive Driving" and
lies within the top 25% of cities in the State. To ensure the public's safety,
the City of Miami Police Department proposes to use FDOT funding to
support the FY 2020 "Speed/Aggressive Driving Enforcement Saturation
Patrol Project" to decrease hazardous driving incidents attributed to
Speeding or Aggressive Driving. The project will use concepts from
Countermeasure That Work Guide found in Chapter 3, Speeding and
Speed Management, 2.2 High Visibility Enforcement. High visibility
enforcement campaigns have been used to deter speeding and aggressive
driving through both specific and general deterrence. In the high visibility
enforcement model, law enforcement targets selected high -crash or
high -violation geographical areas using either expanded regular patrols or
designated aggressive driving patrols.
MPD will utilize the FDOT subgrant funding to enhance its enforcement
efforts and deterrence capability, with the execution of city-wide
"Speed/Aggressive Driving Saturation Patrols" (Saturation Patrols). FDOT
funds will be allocated toward off -duty personnel who must work overtime to
man these patrols. This project will use a high visibility enforcement model,
where officers will focus on drivers who commit common aggressive driving
actions such as:

• Speeding and/or racing;
• Improper or erratic lane changing;
• Sudden and erratic speed changes;
• Illegal driving on shoulders, sidewalks or medians;
• Prohibited and dangerous passing and merging;
• Following other vehicles too closely;
• Running red lights;
• Failure to yield right of way;
• Making improper turns
Each of Miami's 12 NET areas will be assigned Saturation Patrols. Officers
assigned to a NET area operate from one of three police stations
throughout the City of Miami, and every NET area and its officers are led by
a NET Commander. Officers who are laser/radar certified, will be assigned
to a Saturation Patrol operation. NET Commanders or designated
supervising officers for each NET, will schedule these operations throughout
the grant period. They will target high -accident locations and major corridors
in their respective areas. These corridors or "hot spots" will be identified
using data from resident calls to police, crash reports and speeding ticket
reports.
To ensure this project will decrease Speed/Aggressive traffic incidents
city-wide, each of the 12 NET areas will conduct weekly Saturation Patrol
operations throughout the City during the grant period. For large -scale
operations, Saturation Patrols will consist of 2-5 officers and one
Supervisor. Small-scale operations will include individual officers targeting
specific locations where aggressive driving has been determined. The
amount of weekly operations (up to 36), plus the 2-5 Officers who will man
each Saturation Patrol operation, may result in anywhere from 5-45 Officers
working throughout the 12 NET areas on a weekly basis during the grant
period. FDOT funding dedicated to overtime pay for the Saturation Patrols,
will be divided among the 12 NET precincts.
In order to complete the scope of this project, the City will also utilize FDOT
funding for the purchase of laser speed measuring devices. While
aggressive driving tactics will also be the target of the Saturation Patrols,
the lasers are the most accurate tool Officers have to capture speed
violators. This is especially important in hot spots where officers are
deployed to reduce speeding infractions. The devices also emit Class 1
eye -safe signal, measure speeds ranging from 2 to 200 mph and provide
complete vehicle classification. Lasers can detect speeds from as far away
as 1,000 feet, providing Officers with enough time to safely acquire a
reading.
