6. Oyster Run Event – Summer 2022 (Region 11 only). <br />7. ABATE Spring Opener – Summer 2022 (Region 12 only). <br />8. Hog Wild Ocean Shores Motorcycle Event – Summer 2022 (Region 2 only). <br />9. Motorcycle HVE Patrols must take place Friday, Saturday, or Sunday during the It’s a Fine Line <br />campaign, however the local Traffic Safety Task Force can request to conduct patrols during other <br />days in the week if data shows the need for this or for special events. These requests must be sent to <br />Mark Medalen via email (mmedalen@wtsc.wa.gov) at least one week in advance of the proposed <br />event. During special events, patrols should be scheduled during the dates of the event and could <br />start one day before the official event start date and end one day after the official event end date. <br />Other Considerations, Exceptions, And Notes Regarding HVE Events <br />Maximizing contacts: Participating law enforcement officers should make as many contacts as they can <br />during their patrol in the spirit of changing driving behavior. Active, visible, consistent, and targeted traffic <br />law enforcement has an impact on helping to modify driver behavior. A traffic stop affects future driving <br />habits that has a positive influence on reducing the number and severity of collisions. People believe what <br />they hear from each other and it influences what they do. Traffic stops act as a deterrent to risky driving <br />behavior. This strategy has three primary purposes that traffic stops achieve: <br />• The first purpose is to stop a violation of the law for public safety. Officers will accomplish this <br />purpose merely by stopping vehicles. <br />• The second purpose of the stop is to serve as a general deterrent to other drivers. Officers’ visible <br />presence with a vehicle at the roadside has this symbolic effect on other drivers. <br />• Finally, the third purpose is to change the drivers’ future driving behavior. <br /> <br />Process Measures <br />• Percent of officers that receive a briefing prior to HVE events. <br />• Percent of HVE activity logs with a start date and end date / time within prescribed campaign windows. <br />• Percent of stops resulting in an infraction or citations issued for high-risk behaviors including but not <br />limited to impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving, and aggressive driving. <br /> <br />Objectives and Requirements for Impaired Driving HVE Patrols <br />1. SUB-RECIPIENT will implement a data driven, sustained enforcement and education efforts. <br />a. Use local traffic crash data and any other useful data to identify the locations where the <br />enforcement patrols should occur. <br />b. Education and local media efforts should incorporate a Positive Community Norms approach <br />with the desired outcome of influencing drivers with the highest potential of causing traffic <br />crashes.
