Backqround
A. General Characteristics
Redding has a population of approximately 80,000; however, retail, medical, financial, tourist, and
government activities expand this population during daylight hours in excess of 100,000 from
surrounding communities. The city consists of 59 square miles and is the single largest city in
Shasta County. Redding is located at the northern end of the Sacramento valley and has a
moderate climate in the fall, winter, and spring with higher than average temperatures in the
summer.
B. Streets and Highways
The roadway system in Redding has a total of 361.98 miles of paved roadway. The City is
traversed by four freeways running north, south, east, and west and is bisected by a railroad and
the Sacramento River.
There are a total of 69.5 miles of arterial roads that connect with roadways of similar nature in
those cities and areas bordering Redding. The remaining 292.48 miles of paved roadway is made
up of collector and residential streets.
C. Operating Departments
The Redding Public Works Department consists of 108 total personnel. The Transportation
Division is a separate division with engineering technicians, an engineer, and a planner. The
Transportation Division has the primary responsibility for the placement of traffic signals and other
control devices and coordinates with the Police Department and the Public Works Field
Operations on vehicle collision reports and litigation; analyzes claims relating to traffic; provides
long-range traffic planning and studies; and other traffic related functions.
The Redding Police Departments consists of 149 total personnel, including non-sworn employees.
The Traffic Division is a separate unit, but a part of total field operations, and consists of a part-
time sergeant, two motor officers, and one traffic officer. The Traffic Division has the primary
responsibility for enforcement of traffic laws and investigation of traffic collisions. Deployment of
traffic personnel provides field coverage from 0700 to 1900 hours weekdays.
D. Existing Systems
Pedestrian and bicycle safety enforcement is done by regular patrol units on an as-time-available
basis. Patrol officers also have the responsibility to respond to calls for service and, when they
available time, they work traffic related issues including pedestrian and bicycle safety.

Problem Statement
Redding, like most communities in California, has realized an increase in population of approximately
51.8 percent during the decade of the 1980's. It is estimated that Redding's traffic volume will
continue to increase at approximately two percent per year during the decade of the 1990's. Along
with the population increase, the City has realized the revitalization of its business community. The
Shasta County Economic Development Corporation is a private corporation that receives funding from
State and local grants. This entity was created to attract larger businesses to increase a dwindling tax
base within the County of Shasta.
The overall effect of the population and business adjustments is the overtaxing of the City streets and
enforcement of pedestrian and bicycle violations. Compounding the aging street system is the volume
of traffic created by the geographical location of the City bisected by the railroad, the Sacramento
River, and freeways.
The Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) uses a statewide collision ranking system to help establish funding
priorities for California cities. For comparison purposes all cities are assigned to one of seven
population categories. Cities of similar population are compared to determine their vehicle fatal and
injury collision rates "per-thousand-population" and "per-thousand-daily vehicle-miles of travel." In
addition to a composite rate, separate rates are computed for the following collision types: total fatal
and injury, alcohol-involved, pedestrian-involved, bicycle-involved, speed as the primary collision
factor, nighttime, and hit-and-run. Data from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System
(SWITRS) for non-CHP collisions is used to establish the rankings.
The City of Redding "per thousand-daily-vehicle-miles-of travel" ranking for pedestrians killed and
injured is 31 of 81 cities in its population category. This means 50 cities of similar size had a lower
rate for pedestrians killed and injured. The rankings for pedestrians 65+ is 72 of 81 and for
pedestrians under 15 is 23 of 81.
The City's "per thousand-daily-vehicle-miles-of travel" ranking for bicyclists killed and injured is 37 of
81 cities in its population category. Again, this means 44 cities of similar size had a lower rate for
bicyclists killed and injured. The ranking for bicyclists under 15 is 55 of 81.
• 1 of 81 identifies the city with the highest rate for pedestrians and bicyclists killed and injured.
• 81 of 81 identifies the city with the lowest rate for pedestrians and bicyclists killed and injured.
The City's "per 1,000 population" ranking for pedestrians killed and injured is 19 of 81 in its population
category. This means 62 cities of similar size had a lower rate for pedestrians killed and injured. The
rankings for pedestrians 65+ is 73 of 81 and for pedestrians under 15 is 17 of 81.
The City's "per 1,000 population" ranking for bicyclists killed and injured is 33 of 81 in its population
category. This means 48 cities of similar size had a lower rate for bicyclists killed and injured. The
rankings for bicyclists under 15 is 52 of 81.

*Average of all collision categories
For comparison purposes all cities are assigned to one of seven population categories. Cities of
similar population are compared to determine their rates for pedestrians/bicyclists killed and injured. A
city with the highest pedestrian/bicyclist rate is ranked number one of all the cities in its population
category. For example, a rank of 1 of 81 is assigned to the city with the highest pedestrian/bicyclist
rate among cities with a population of 50,001 to 100,000.
The City's 1996 DUI arrest ranking is 70 of 79 cities in its population category. This mean 9 cities of
similar size had a higher DUI arrest rate. Statewide the City ranks 272 out of 502 cities.
In 1997, pedestrian killed and injured collisions accounted for 9% of total killed and injured collisions.
Since 1994, there has been an increase in pedestrian fatalities—seven in 1995, two in 1996, and two
in 1997. While there has not been a dramatic increase in pedestrian accidents over the four year
period, there has been an increase in fatalities since 1994. In the first quarter of 1998, there was one
fatality. In 1997, bicyclists killed and injured collisions accounted for 7% of total killed and injured
collisions.
The City's Police Department lacks a traffic safety presentation program for the school in Redding and
a review of the materials which are employed for traffic safety education found that no instructional
program has been employed and no presentations at either the schools or civic and community
groups. The police officer assigned to the School Traffic Safety Program, currently has a primary

function as overseer of the Adult and Student Guard Programs and traffic education is a limited
secondary responsibility.
In 1997, children under the age of 15 accounted for 34% of fatal and injured bicycle victims, while
children under the age of 15 accounted for 28% of fatal and injured pedestrian victims. In 1997,
alcohol involved fatal and injury collisions accounted for 19% of all fatal and injury collisions. As the
speed of the vehicle increases, so does the probability of injuries and deaths if the vehicle is involved
in a collision. Speed related fatal and injury collisions accounted for 18% of fatal and injured victims.

Method of Procedure
Operational Phase
Phase I (October 1, 1998 - December 31, 1998)
City staff will attend the OTS sponsored conferences to gather ideas and methods from OTS staff and
project personnel from other agencies.
We will develop a training program for all department personnel to outline the goals and objectives
and methods of the project. One major thrust of this training will be the necessary support by all patrol
personnel in the meeting of goals and objectives.
We will develop a strong community awareness campaign through local newspapers, radio stations,
City newsletter and other available media, informing the public of our efforts in combination with the
Office of Traffic Safety to create a safer traffic environment in our City. The community will be
advised of our goals and objectives and solicited to become involved in reducing the problem(s). In
addition, processes will be put into place to provide current enforcement location information to the
media.
We will develop responsibilities of each program member and patrol officers as they relate to the
project.
We will procure all material and equipment.
Project goals and objectives will be reviewed and implementation of procedures will be put into place
by department staff.
OTS-38b (Rev 7/97)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION PAGE 9
Enforcement techniques and scheduling for project personnel will be developed by the
Comprehensive Pedestrian and Bicycle Program (PBSP) sergeant.
Develop the qualification criteria and procures for distribution of pamphlets and handouts.
Necessary computer software modifications to capture pertinent data and generate timely, accurate
and relevant reports will be identified by department and project staff. The modifications will be
completed by the systems administrator.
Phase II - Preliminary Traininq (October 1, 1998 - December 31, 1998)
During this phase, we will implement the training program for the team members as set up in Phase I.
We will provide specialized training for the motorcycle team members including attending a two week
motorcycle riding school. Coordinate with other local police departments utilizing motorcycle units to
obtain follow-up Field Training to assure safe and proper riding techniques.
Phase III - Implement Comprehensive Pedestrian and Bicvcle Safetv Proqram (PBSP) (January 1,
1999)
Implementations of the Comprehensive Pedestrian and Bicycle Safiety Program will be accomplished
by deploying the PBSP personnet during the peak traffic flow times at locations identified as high
collision locations. The PBSP will also be deployed in areas identified by complaint or public demand.
In addition, the visible display radar trailer will be deployed by project personnel in areas where speed
has been identified as a primary collision factor.
Phase IV - Community Involvement (Throughout Project Period)
We will provide public information through specially prepared literature and public service
announcements on pedestrian and bicycle safety.
We will provide articles on project goals and objectives, progress, and pedestrian and bicycle safety to
the City newsletter which is distributed to every household in the City on a quarterly basis. We will
also provide weekly press release updates to local newspapers and reports to local radio stations.
The radio station reports will include the areas and type of violations that will be targeted by PBSP
personnel for a given period.
We will prepare public service announcements to coincide with specific statement wide pedestrian
and bicycle safety programs, holidays, and,other times drivers need to be aware of increased hazards
or priorities.
We will publish the availability of personnel to speak to community groups about pedestrian and
bicycle safety, PBSP, DUI, and occupant protection in the local newspaper and strive to meet those
requests.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION PAGE lO
We will coordinate with the local schools to provide pedestrian and bicycle safety programs and
general traffic safety programs. We will coordinate with schools to allow a community service officer
to speak at least 36 classes during the year.
Phase V - Data Gather and Analvsis (Throughout the Project Period}
Statistical data relating to the project goals and objectives will be collected, analyzed, and
incorporated in Quarterly Reports. Quarterly Reports for the quarter ended September 30 will include
year-to-date comparisons of goals and objectives. The Quarterly Evaluation Data Form - Schedule C
form will be completed each quarter and submitted as part of the Quarterly Progress Report.
These reports will compare actual project accomplishments with the planned accomplishments. They
will also include information concerning changes made by the Project Director in planning and guiding
his project efforts. The following are some of the methods to be used in constant monitoring and
evaluation of the project:
A. Computerized Reports
Statistical information concerning data listed in the project goals and objectives will be available
on a timely basis throughout the project. In addition, the computer mapping program will provide
automated pin-maps with layering capabilities to compare enforcement and awareness (SMART
System) efforts with traffic collision data by location. This information will provide an ongoing
evaluation to measure project goals and objectives and to aid in proper deployment of resources.
B. Activity Logs
The Redding Police Department has in place, a sophisticated Computer Aided Dispatch System
that will keep accurate activity logs of project personnel. This system will allow the City to
measure the number of traffic stops, disposition (verbal warning, citation, arrest), and gather data
about the time expended on various activities. This information will be used to evaluate the
effectiveness of project personnel.
C. Supervision
Close supervision of the project will be maintained by the PBSP Sergeant who wifl deploy project
personnel to maintain maximum program effectiveness. The Redding Police Department also
encourages ideas from all employees. The projecf staff will be expected to provide suggestions
for improvement throughout the project.
