• 2. • Approval for this activity is done through the HVE Mobilization Plan. This plan must be received prior to the activity date. It should include details such as the estimated number of hours and officers who will be participating in this activity. It should also include a plan for what officers will discuss with the premise(Ex. distributing coasters,HVE dedication materials,mobilization creative, etc.) • Each establishment is counted as one contact on the Officer Activity Log. • The WA Liquor and Cannabis Board must be notified in advance of this activity to encourage collaboration and support. These funds can be used for DUI warrant round-up events. Prior approval is needed for these activities and must include evidence of thorough planning. Distracted Driving Enforcement: With the State of Washington's distracted driving law,these patrols will be important to ensure through education and enforcement that drivers understand and are following the new law. These patrols shall be deployed at locations where the data indicates that the most traffic safety benefit can be realized as determined by the local Traffic Safety Task Force. Wherever possible these patrols shall occur in areas with the highest number of past distracted driving violations. The WTSC requires that distracted driving HVE patrols are conducted using a team approach with designated spotters. This approach has shown to best identify distracted driving violations. Minimum teams of 3 can conduct distracted driving HVE patrols— 1 spotter and at least 2 officers responding to violations. In order to be eligible to receive distracted driving HVE funds in FFY2020, the SUB-RECIPIENT must have at least 1 citation issued during the FFY2019 On the Road Off the Phone campaign. Agencies that did not participate in the FFY2019 On the Road Off the Phone campaign are eligible for funding. The priority for this funding is participation in the national campaign, On the Road Off the Phone, April 1 - 18,2020. However,this funding can be expended outside of the national campaign, but the funds must only be used for distracted driving enforcement. Seat Belt Use Enforcement: Washington has one of the highest seatbelt use rates in the country, yet many of the state's vehicular fatalities and serious injuries involved unbelted drivers and passengers. Funding for seatbelt enforcement will be prioritized using data from WTSC's Research and Data Division, such as seatbelt use rates and fatal and serious injury data. At this point, funding distribution has yet to be determined. Motorcycle Safety Patrols The SUB-RECIPIENT will engage in multijurisdictional HVE patrols, as part of the national effort, for all or part of the following campaign: • It's A Fine Line—July 10—26 10
