The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) has awarded a $100,000 grant to Dublin Police Services to support its ongoing traffic enforcement and education programs in order to help reduce the number of serious injuries and deaths on our roads.
The grant program runs through September 2025. The grant will provide additional programs and resources, including:
- DUI checkpoints and patrols focused on stopping suspected impaired drivers.
- High-visibility distracted driving enforcement operations targeting drivers in violation of California’s hands-free cell phone law.
- Enforcement operations focused on the most dangerous driving behaviors that put the safety of bicyclists and walkers/joggers at risk.
- Enforcement operations focused on top violations that cause crashes: speeding, failure to yield, stop-sign and/or red-light running, and improper turning or lane changes.
- Community presentations on traffic safety issues such as distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding, and bicycle and pedestrian safety.
- Collaborative enforcement efforts with neighboring agencies.
- Officer training and/or recertification: Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE).
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California OTS, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
