DE ipt_ -i of Integrated Mini- ant Enforcem t Program (][MaG1E) Problem Statement Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 5 and 34, and the fifth leading cause of death overall. In Illinois, during 1994, 1551 persons were killed in fatal crashes. In 1993, 155,590 persons were injured in non-fatal crashes. The total estimated cost of all crashes in Illinois for 1993 was $5.95 billion. Many lives could be saved by changing public attitudes regarding risk taking behaviors such as speeding, impaired driving, and the non-use of safety belts and child safety seats. It has been shown that visible enforcement programs focusing on these violations offer the greatest potential for changing these behaviors. eject Objectives The purpose of the integrated mini-grant enforcement (IMaGE) activity is to reduce the incidence of motor vehicle crashes, and the resulting injuries and fatalities, through increased enforcement of occupant restraint, impaired driving and speed laws. In order to achieve this purpose, the following goals have been defined: 1. To achieve a higher use of safety belt and child safety seats. 2. To increase enforcement of occupant restraint, impaired driving, and speed laws. 3. To reduce the number of fatal traffic crashes. Methods of Procedure 1. Conduct at least four integrated mini-grant enforcement campaigns with special emphasis on occupant restraint, impaired driving, and speed laws. The increased enforcement activity conducted by the local agency will coincide wi th the timetable to be 'provided by IDOT by October 1, 1995. 2. The increased "integrated mini-grant enforcement"campaign must follow a six- week schedule which consists of the following: a. Week 1&2 Pre-campaign safety belt survey, conducted at two to four (2 to 4) separate sites, during daylight hours. Public information campaign and press releases announcing the enforcement campaign and a media event. b. Week 3&4 Conduct of integrated enforcement campaign for a minimum of forty (40) overtime hours. c. Week 5&6 Post-campaign safety belt survey conducted at same sites and times as Week 1. Press releases on results of program- include media event. Page t of 2 3. At the beginning of the integrated mini-grant enforcement campaign, inf ation outlining all phases of 0 program shall be giv +.o police dep,..anent personnel, news media, court(prosecutors —,.judges) personnel. 4.

DTS will provide, upon request, materials to assist the local agency in preparing public information campaigns and press releases. Reporting A progress report must be submitted to DTS after each integrated enforcement campaign. The report is due by the tenth of the month following the campaign, and shall consist of 1. Completed summary of activity (Attachment A). 2. Completed survey forms (Attachment D). 3. Copies of public information and education campaign materials,news releases, articles, etc., that were published.
