Applicant Information
Statement of the Problem: (Provide details about the traffic safety problem that you want to address)
In the U.S., motorcycles account for three percent of all vehicles, yet Motorcyclists account for nearly 14 percent
of all traffic homicide deaths. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA),
motorcyclist fatalities occurred nearly 29 times more frequently than passenger car occupant fatalities in traffic
crashes per vehicle mile traveled (2015); and motorcyclists were nearly 5 times more likely to be seriously
injured. Thirty-three percent (33%) of all motorcycle riders involved in fatal crashes were caused by speeding,
compared to 19 percent for passenger car drivers, 15 percent for light -truck drivers, and 7 percent for large
truck drivers (1). Per the latest statistics from the NHSTA report, Florida has the highest number of fatalities for
motorcycle crashes in the entire nation (2).
Miami is the second-largest city in the State of Florida and the largest municipality in Miami -Dade County.
Miami's reputation as a major urban center, and a leader in finance, commerce, culture, media, entertainment,
the arts, and international trade has resulted in booming growth. Since 2012 in Downtown Miami alone, 5,180
new condo units have been delivered with an additional 5,078 units currently under construction (3). As a result,
the City attracts a growing number of new residents, visitors, and a significant commuting workforce.
With the increasing demands of a growing population of 463,347 residents, 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 #3
in "Motorcyclists" related serious injuries and fatalities. Therefore, the City of Miami Police Department will use
FDOT funding to address the emphasis areas of "Motorcycle Safety" in the Strategic Highway Safety Plan
(SHSP). To ensure the public safety of all who live, work and play in Miami, MPD will employ its experienced
team of traffic officers in an overtime patrol project, to decrease hazardous motorcycle -related incidents.

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.)
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) identifies "Motorcycle Safety" as one of its 11
focus areas in the FY 2020 Florida Highway Strategic Plan (FHSP). Therefore, the City of Miami Police
Department (MPD) proposes to use FDOT funding to provide additional police services for a FY 2020
"Motorcycle Safety Initiative Overtime Patrol Project" to decrease hazardous driving incidents involving
motorcyclists, as well as, increase pedestrian safety. This project is an essential towards enhancing the safety
and protection of Miami's residents and visitors. Utilizing Strategy 2 under "Law Enforcement and Emergency
Services, Section 3.8" from FHSP's Florida Motorcycle Safety Strategic Plan, MPD will conduct high -visibility
enforcement in areas with high incidents of motorcycle crashes, injuries, and fatalities (4). Additionally,
community outreach and education components will be executed in support of this project.
The City of Miami Police Department (MPD) will identify specific corridors which have a high number of driving
violations and crashes involving drivers of motorcyclists. These high complaint areas will be identified using

data from incoming calls to the police call center, crash reports, speeding ticket reports, and City of Miami
statistical data. MPD will work diligently to decrease motorcycle -related traffic crashes, that may lead to
fatalities and injuries; thus, enhancing its enforcement efforts and deterrence capability.
The execution of this grant will be along the lines of a Road Safety Patrol (RSP), throughout the City of Miami.
MPD will conduct RSPs in an average of 1-3 operations per week, with each operation lasting no more than 4
hours, during peak times. The RSP will consist of 3 - 4 officers per area of detail. Depending on the results of
the operations, RSP may be broken up into groups of 2 officers per operation. This will be decided based on
weekly assessments of the operations.
Motorcyclists caught violating driving and safety laws during the Road Safety Patrols will be issued a warning
for first time offenses. Repeat offenders, however, will receive a summons and/or any other penalty as required
by law. Driving violations are often a matter of the public not knowing what driving laws require of them.
Therefore, to better educate the public, with every warning and/or summons handed out, the motorists will also
receive an educational pamphlet, outlining the responsibilities of motorcyclists. Pedestrians encountered
during these operations, will receive helpful hints on pedestrian safety, as they also run the danger of being
unwitting victims in crashes.
Before and after operations, briefings will be conducted to ensure all personnel are made aware and fully
understand the policies and procedures, goals, duties, and objectives of the operation. Officers will be on high
alert and will show a "Zero Tolerance," in order to apprehend any driver who violates Florida's traffic laws. In our
enforcement operations, we will utilize officers who are trained in radar/laser operation as well as Traffic Safety.
MPD will also implement an Education and Outreach component to increase the public's awareness of
Motorcycle Safety. Officers will be selected to make up to two presentations per month. MPD will work with
community outreach centers such as the Boys and Girls Club, youth camps, local schools, and City of Miami
Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) offices. Middle schools and high schools will also be locations of
focus for this public awareness campaign, as Motorcycle Safety affects both riders and pedestrians of all ages.
Educational pamphlets will be distributed and MPD's social media networks will also be used to promote this
campaign and safety information.
The proposed total project cost for the implementation of the FY 2020 "Motorcycle Safety Initiative Overtime
Patrol Project" is $80,000. FDOT funds will be allocated toward "Personnel Services" which will cover overtime
salaries and benefits for essential personnel working Road Safety Patrols. MPD will employ no more than one
Lieutenant or one (1) Sergeant as Supervisors, with a minimum of (3) officers to operate the RSP details. The
project will be under the supervision of a Unit Commander who will not participate in the RFPs, but will assure
grant -funded activities are being implemented. MPD will partner with and assist other local agencies, and the
Miami -Dade County State Attorney's Office, to ensure MPD personnel are performing duties in compliance
with state guidelines.

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 motorcycle -related accidents;
and educating our residents on proper motrocycle and pedestrian safety laws and guidelines. To support the
sustainabiity of the FY 2020 "Motorcycle Safety Initiative Overtime Patrol Project" after the grant funding is
expended, the City of Miami's Office of Grants Administration will search and submit for additional grant
opportunities to ensure the project remains funded. MPD will also leverage relationships in the community and
reach out to organizations, companies and agencies, for public/private partnerships.
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.")
(a) Reduction of the amount of motorcycle -related crashes by 2-5% from the average of the last three years.
(b) Reduce the number of motorcycle -related injuries by 2-5% from the average of the last three years.
(c) Conduct at least 4 Road Safety Patrols per month.
(d) Conduct up to 2 Community Outreach events per month.
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 effectiveness of the Road Safety Patrols.
This method lends itself to assessing the completion of steps taken to achieve desired program outcomes and
tracking process measures. Examples of process measures may included, the number of operations
completed and/or evaluating the number of attendees at outreach events.
The "Outcome Evaluation" method will be used to evaluate reduction in motorcycle -related traffic incidents. This
will provide a quantifiable framework by which we can measure the bottom line of 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 comprehensive evaluation of the success of FY 2020 "Motorcycle Safety Initiative Overtime Patrol
Project," the City of Miami Police Department will measure the following metrics:
• Number of motorcyclists stopped
• Number of summons given out

Project Number: MC-20-10-12

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:
In the U.S., motorcycles account for three percent of all vehicles, yet
Motorcyclists account for nearly 14 percent of all traffic homicide deaths.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
motorcyclist fatalities occurred nearly 29 times more frequently than
passenger car occupant fatalities in traffic crashes per vehicle mile traveled
(2015); and motorcyclists were nearly 5 times more likely to be seriously
injured. Thirty-three percent (33%) of all motorcycle riders involved in fatal
crashes were caused by speeding, compared to 19 percent for passenger
car drivers, 15 percent for Tight -truck drivers, and 7 percent for large truck
drivers (1). Per the latest statistics from the NHTSA report, Florida has the
highest number of fatalities for motorcycle crashes in the entire nation (2).
Miami is the second-largest city in the State of Florida and the largest
municipality in Miami -Dade County. Miami's reputation as a major urban
center, and a leader in finance, commerce, culture, media, entertainment,
the arts, and international trade has resulted in booming growth.
With the increasing demands of a growing population of 463,347 residents,
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 #3 in
"Motorcyclists" related serious injuries and fatalities. Therefore, the City of
Miami Police Department will use FDOT funding to address the emphasis
areas of "Motorcycle Safety" in the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP).
To ensure the public safety of all who live, work and play in Miami, MPD will
employ its experienced team of traffic officers in an overtime patrol project,
to decrease hazardous motorcycle -related incidents.

2. Proposed Solution:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) identifies
"Motorcycle Safety" as one of its 11 focus areas in the FY 2016 Florida
Strategic Highway Safety Plan (FSHSP). Therefore, the City of Miami
Police Department (MPD) proposes to use FDOT funding to provide
additional police services for a FY 2020 "Motorcycle Safety Initiative
Overtime Patrol Project" to decrease hazardous driving incidents involving
motorcyclists. This project is an essential towards enhancing the safety and
protection of Miami's residents and visitors. Utilizing Strategy 2 under "Law
Enforcement and Emergency Services, Section 3.8" from FHSP's Florida
Motorcycle Safety Strategic Plan, MPD will conduct high -visibility
enforcement in areas with high incidents of motorcycle crashes, injuries, and
fatalities (4). Additionally, community outreach and education components
will be executed in support of this project.
The City of Miami Police Department (MPD) will identify specific corridors
which have a high number of driving violations and crashes involving drivers
of motorcyclists. These high complaint areas will be identified using data
from incoming calls to the police call center, crash reports, speeding ticket
reports, and City of Miami statistical data. MPD will work diligently to
decrease motorcycle -related traffic crashes, that may lead to fatalities and
injuries; thus, enhancing its enforcement efforts and deterrence capability.
The execution of this grant will be along the lines of a Road Safety Patrol
(RSP), throughout the City of Miami. MPD will conduct RSPs, a minimum of
1 motorcycle overtime enforcement operation each month, with each
operation lasting no more than 4 hours, during peak times. The RSP will
consist of 3 - 4 officers per area of detail. Depending on the results of the
operations, RSP may be broken up into groups of 2 officers per operation.
This will be decided based on weekly assessments of the operations.
Motorcyclists caught violating driving and safety laws during the Road
Safety Patrols will be issued a warning for first time offenses. Repeat
offenders, however, will receive a summons and/or any other penalty as
required by law. Driving violations are often a matter of the public not
knowing what driving laws require of them. Therefore, to better educate the
public, with every warning and/or summons handed out, the motorists will
also receive an educational pamphlet, outlining the responsibilities of
motorcyclists. Pedestrians encountered during these operations, will
receive helpful hints on pedestrian safety, as they also run the danger of
being unwitting victims in crashes.
Before and after operations, briefings will be conducted to ensure all

personnel are made aware and fully understand the policies and
procedures, goals, duties, and objectives of the operation. Officers will be
on high alert and will show a "Zero Tolerance," in order to apprehend any
driver who violates Florida's traffic laws. In our enforcement operations, we
will utilize officers who are trained in radar/laser operation as well as Traffic
Safety.
MPD will also implement an Education and Outreach component to
increase the public's awareness of Motorcycle Safety. Officers will be
selected to make a minimum of 1 presentation per month. MPD will work
with community outreach centers such as the Boys and Girls Club, youth
camps, local schools, and City of Miami Neighborhood Enhancement Team
(NET) offices. Middle schools and high schools will also be locations of
focus for this public awareness campaign, as Motorcycle Safety affects both
riders and pedestrians of all ages. Educational pamphlets will be distributed
and MPD's social media networks will also be used to promote this
campaign and safety information.
The proposed total project cost for the implementation of the FY 2020
"Motorcycle Safety Initiative Overtime Patrol Project" is $50,000. FDOT
funds will be allocated toward "Personnel Services" which will cover
overtime salaries and benefits for essential personnel working Road Safety
Patrols. MPD will employ no more than one Lieutenant or one (1) Sergeant
as Supervisors, with a minimum of (3) officers to operate the RSP details.
The project will be under the supervision of a Unit Commander who will not
participate in the RFPs, but will assure grant -funded activities are being
implemented. MPD will partner with and assist other local agencies, and the
Miami -Dade County State Attorney's Office, to ensure MPD personnel are
performing duties in compliance with state guidelines.
3. Project Objectives:
Conduct a minimum of 1 motorcycle overtime enforcement operation each
month.
Conduct and or participate in a minimum of 1 educational/community
outreach event to increase motorcycle safety awareness, each month.
