GOAL: Positively change walker, roller, and motor vehicle driver behaviors through law enforcement patrols <br />and media efforts. Engage multiple law enforcement agencies in Snohomish County in the design, <br />implementation of enforcement, community outreach and education activities for the project period. <br />STRATEGY: Prevent drivers from engaging in high-risk behaviors related to walkers and rollers by <br />increasing drivers’ perception of the risk of being stopped by a patrol officer. This perception is achieved <br />through 1) an increase in media messages and outreach about upcoming emphasis periods so that the targeted <br />drivers know when the patrols will occur and what will be enforced and 2) during the patrols, drivers have the <br />perception of increased enforcement because they can see a significant and noticeable increase in law <br />enforcement presence and activities that reinforces the media messages they received and influences them to <br />modify their driving behavior and 3) officers who stop drivers will use the stop to educate drivers on the <br />importance of sharing the roadways with walkers and rollers and applicable laws violated by the driver. <br />OBJECTIVES: There are several requirements identified for the 2025 FG 5539-REGION 10 WALKER <br />ROLLER SAFETY GRANT along PUBLIC TRANSIT AREAS IN LYNNWOOD, EDMONDS, <br />MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, EVERETT, ARLINGTON, MARYSVILLE AND UNINCORPORATED <br />SNOHOMISH COUNTY in SNOHOMISH COUNTY. The SUB-RECIPIENT agrees to the following <br />requirements: <br />1. Implement the mobilization plan developed by the local traffic safety task force. The enforcement <br />includes: <br />a. Problem Statement <br />b. Description of enforcement strategy, including expected law enforcement agencies <br />participating in the event, target violation, and target locations. <br />c. Public outreach strategy that targets behaviors drivers are most likely to engage in that <br />contribute to traffic crashes. <br />d. Evaluation plan. <br />2. The event is data driven. This means data is used to identify locations where enforcement should <br />occur and driver demographics with the highest potential of causing traffic crashes. <br />3. The enforcement is multijurisdictional and uses a saturation approach. This means SUB-RECIPIENT <br />is coordinating efforts with adjacent law enforcement agencies so that the driving public has the <br />perception of law enforcement omnipresence on targeted roads. <br />4. The public is made aware of the event before, during, and after the enforcement takes place. This <br />means that messages reach all target audiences in the community, regardless of English proficiency, <br />who use the targeted transportation system. Local outreach and public education campaigns will take <br />place during the enforcement period. <br />5. Officers are encouraged to educate drivers about walker and roller laws and safety during traffic stops. <br />6. The SUB-RECIPIENT deploys resources to enforce traffic laws in priority areas throughout the year <br />when this project not being implemented.
