1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Rohnert Park is located in the southern central portion of Sonoma County and is primarily a
residential community with commercial businesses comprising roughly one-third of the community. The City
is split into two sections by Highway 101, predominantly consisting of commercial businesses and hotels to
the west and residential to the east. Rohnert Park is developing its identity as an entertainment destination
to continue to increase its draw for Sonoma County and Bay Area counties.
Currently, the daytime population normally runs between 45,000-55,000 people; however, the city is home to
Sonoma State University which typically brings an additional 11,000 students each year to the
community. In 2012, the Green Music Center was built at Sonoma State University and since then has been
successful in promoting large events that attract musicians and performers year-round. The Green Music
Center can hold up to 2500 people. Several of the events sell alcohol, and without hotels within walking
distance, patrons are left to ride share or drive themselves. Sonoma State is located on the far-east side of
Rohnert Park and attendees must drive through the middle of Rohnert Park to access Highway 101.
Sonoma Mountain Village is zoned as a mixed-use property and is home to Credo High School, Sally
Tomatoes, Xfinity and AT&T along with many other businesses. Sally Tomatoes classifies themselves as an
event center and while it is a restaurant during the day and evening time, they also cater to large events. As
of 2014 they began hosting concerts during the summer. The venue can hold up to approximately 1500
people and again attendees often drive through Rohnert Park to gain access to Hwy 101. Sonoma
Mountain Village also hosts many special events such as Waves to Wine, a fundraiser for multiple sclerosis
that attracts over 1,600 bicyclists in addition to spectators to the area. They have also started their
development of the property to be a mixed-use high density residential and commercial location. The city
has begun to see the impact of the additional vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic they bring.
Located on the west side of Rohnert Park is the Graton Casino. This casino is one of the largest in the Bay
Area costing $825 million and encompassing 320,000 square feet. Its doors opened November 5,
2013, and it has continuously drawn tens of thousands of people each week. In November of 2016, it
debuted a 300,000 square foot, hotel and spa. According to Graton officials the casino draws close to 10
million patrons per year, and they are currently in the planning phase of expanding the hotel and casino. The
alcohol related incidents that the City of Rohnert Park has experienced since the opening of the casino have
been on a steady rise. The local motels/hotels within Rohnert Park are continually filled to capacity which
poses a pedestrian problem. Two new hotels have been completed and are now open, and two additional
hotels are currently planned all on the west side of the city. Several of the occupants of the motels/hotels
walk to the casino which poses safety concerns when drinking and walking/driving in Rohnert Park. The city
also recently received a grant to build and operate a 60-unit interim housing facility on the west side of the
city for individuals experiencing homelessness, which was opened in October of 2022. The facility is near
hotels, businesses, and the casino, and will create additional pedestrian and bicycle traffic in the area.
Several large residential subdivisions that have broken ground over the last few years have been built and
are occupied, while more continue to be built. The three new neighborhoods as well as new apartment
complexes that have been completed, and other apartment complexes still being built, continue to
significantly increase the population in the city. With this increase comes more traffic in and around schools
and the rest of the city as these subdivisions don’t have shopping near them. This forces residents to use
one of the three major arteries in town to conduct their shopping.
There are other light industrial projects as well as residential developments currently in development that will
continue to increase the daily and overall population in the city. With all of this growth over the last several
years we had seen a rise in traffic crashes prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Listed below are the current
crash data statistics for the City of Rohnert Park. In 2020, there were a total of 71 injury related crashes. In
2021 we had an increase to 85 crashes resulting in injury. In 2022 we saw a larger increase, with the
pandemic farther behind us, with 112 injury related crashes. The number of victims is also increasing each
year. We are seeing an increase in pedestrian and bicycle crashes as well as people are out more.
10/27/2023 8:52:04 AM Page 4 of 19
In the last several years the City of Rohnert Park has continued a strong recruitment for new
officers. Because Rohnert Park Public Safety Officers are dual trained in police and fire fighting, it typically
takes a new officer two years before their training is complete. The funding by OTS allows officers to
specifically target traffic related areas in the city that would not otherwise be available on a regular shift. In
2023, the City of Rohnert Park and the Department of Public Safety are planning to continue our partnership
with our local high schools and Sonoma State University with in person learning occurring again to increase
education efforts with the student population in regard to drinking and driving. The City of Rohnert Park will
also be able to continue working with elementary and middle schools, educating the students and enforcing
bicycle/pedestrian safety laws.
During 2022, Rohnert Park experienced an increase in fatal and injury crashes to (114) from (87) in 2021:
Fatal crashes- 2 with 2 victims.
Injury crashes- 112 with 260 victims.
Included within these crashes, 17 injury DUI crashes with 24 victims.
Of these 114 crashes:
21 were due to DUI resulting in 29 injured.
17 were due to unsafe speed resulting in 26 injured.
8 were due to improper turning resulting in 8 injured.
(The above statistics represent injury and fatal crashes only)

3. METHOD OF PROCEDURE
A. Phase 1 – Program Preparation (1st Quarter of Grant Year)
The department will develop operational plans to implement the “best practice” strategies
outlined in the objectives section.
All training needed to implement the program should be conducted in the first quarter.
All grant related purchases needed to implement the program should be made in the first quarter.
In order to develop/maintain the “DUI BOLOs,” research will be conducted to identify the “worst of
the worst” repeat DUI offenders with a suspended or revoked license as a result of DUI
convictions. The DUI BOLO may include the driver’s name, last known address, DOB,
description, current license status, and the number of times suspended or revoked for DUI. DUI
BOLOs should be updated and distributed to traffic and patrol officers at least monthly.
Implementation of the STEP grant activities will be accomplished by deploying personnel at high
crash locations.
Media Requirements Issue a press release approved by the OTS PIO announcing the kick-off of the
grant by November 15, but no sooner than October 1. The kick-off release must be approved by the
10/27/2023 8:52:04 AM Page 6 of 19
OTS PIO and only distributed after the grant is fully signed and executed. If you are unable to meet the
November 15 deadline to issue a kick-off press release, communicate reasons to your OTS coordinator
and OTS PIO.
B. Phase 2 – Program Operations (Throughout Grant Year)
The department will work to create media opportunities throughout the grant period to call
attention to the innovative program strategies and outcomes.
Media Requirements
The following requirements are for all grant-related activities:
Send all media advisories, alerts, videos, graphics, artwork, posters, radio/PSA/video scripts,
storyboards, digital and/or print educational materials for grant-related activities to the OTS PIO
at pio@ots.ca.gov for approval and copy your OTS coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7
days before the scheduled release but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release
date for review and approval is appreciated.
The OTS PIO is responsible for the approval of the design and content of materials. The agency
understands OTS PIO approval is not authorizing approval of budget expenditure or cost. Any
cost approvals must come from the Coordinator.
Pre-approval is not required when using any OTS-supplied template for media advisories, press
releases, social media graphics, videos or posts, or any other OTS-supplied educational material.
However, copy the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and your OTS coordinator when any material is
distributed to the media and public, such as a press release, educational material, or link to social
media post. The OTS-supplied kick-off press release templates and any kickoff press releases
are an exception to this policy and require prior approval before distribution to the media and
public.
If an OTS-supplied template, educational material, social media graphic, post or video is
substantially changed, the changes shall be sent to the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov for approval
and copy to your OTS Coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days prior to the scheduled
release date, but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and
approval is appreciated.
Press releases, social media posts and alerts on platforms such as NextDoor and Nixle reporting
immediate and time-sensitive grant activities (e.g. enforcement operations, day of event
highlights or announcements, event invites) are exempt from the OTS PIO approval process. The
OTS PIO and your Coordinator should still be notified when the grant-related activity is
happening (e.g. car seat checks, bicycle rodeos, community presentations, DUI checkpoints,
etc.).
Enforcement activities such as warrant and probation sweeps, court stings, etc. that are
embargoed or could impact operations by publicizing in advance are exempt from the PIO
approval process. However, announcements and results of activities should still be copied to the
OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and your Coordinator with embargoed date and time or with
“INTERNAL ONLY: DO NOT RELEASE” message in subject line of email.
Any earned or paid media campaigns for TV, radio, digital or social media that are part of a
specific grant objective, using OTS grant funds, or designed and developed using contractual
services by a subgrantee, requires prior approval. Please send to the OTS PIO at
pio@ots.ca.gov for approval and copy your grant coordinator at least 3 business days prior to the
scheduled release date.
Social media posts highlighting state or national traffic safety campaigns (Distracted Driving
Month, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, etc.), enforcement operations (DUI checkpoints,
etc.), or any other grant-related activity such as Bicycle rodeos, presentations, or events, are
highly encouraged but do not require prior approval.
Submit a draft or rough-cut of all digital, printed, recorded or video material (brochures, posters,
scripts, artwork, trailer graphics, digital graphics, social posts connected to an earned or paid
media campaign grant objective) to the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and copy your OTS
Coordinator for approval prior to the production or duplication.
Use the following standard language in all press, media, and printed materials, space permitting:
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety,
through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
10/27/2023 8:52:04 AM Page 7 of 19
Space permitting, include the OTS logo on all grant-funded print materials, graphics and paid or
earned social media campaign grant objective; consult your OTS Coordinator for specifics,
format-appropriate logos, or if space does not permit the use of the OTS logo.
Email the OTS PIO at pio@ots.ca.gov and copy your OTS Coordinator at least 21 days in
advance, or when first confirmed, a short description of any significant grant-related traffic safety
event or program, particularly events that are highly publicized beforehand with anticipated media
coverage so OTS has sufficient notice to arrange for attendance and/or participation in the event.
If unable to attend, email the OTS PIO and coordinator brief highlights and/or results, including
any media coverage (broadcast, digital, print) of event within 7 days following significant grant-
related event or program. Media and program highlights are to be reflected in QPRs.
Any press releases, work plans, scripts, storyboards, artwork, graphics, videos or any
educational or informational materials that received PIO approval in a prior grant year needs to
be resubmitted for approval in the current grant year.
Contact the OTS PIO or your OTS Coordinator for consultation when changes from any of the
above requirements might be warranted.
C. Phase 3 – Data Collection & Reporting (Throughout Grant Year)
1. Prepare and submit grant claim invoices (due January 30, April 30, July 30, and October 30)
2. Prepare and submit Quarterly Performance Reports (QPR) (due January 30, April 30, July 30, and

media activities. Include status of grant-funded personnel, status of contracts, challenges, or
special accomplishments.
Provide a brief summary of quarterly accomplishments and explanations for objectives not
completed or plans for upcoming activities.
Collect, analyze and report statistical data relating to the grant goals and objectives.
4. METHOD OF EVALUATION
Using the data compiled during the grant, the Grant Director will complete the “Final Evaluation” section in
the fourth/final Quarterly Performance Report (QPR). The Final Evaluation should provide a brief summary
of the grant’s accomplishments, challenges and significant activities. This narrative should also include
whether goals and objectives were met, exceeded, or an explanation of why objectives were not completed.
5. ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT
This program has full administrative support, and every effort will be made to continue the grant activities
after grant conclusion.

operating company-owned, rented, or personally-owned vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) is responsible for providing leadership and guidance in support of this Presidential initiative. For information
and resources on traffic safety programs and policies for employers, please contact the Network of Employers for
Traffic Safety (NETS), a public-private partnership dedicated to improving the traffic safety practices of employers and
employees. You can download information on seat belt programs, costs of motor vehicle crashes to employers, and
other traffic safety initiatives at www.trafficsafety.org. The NHTSA website (www.nhtsa.gov) also provides information
on statistics, campaigns, and program evaluations and references.
POLICY ON BANNING TEXT MESSAGING WHILE DRIVING
In accordance with Executive Order 13513, Federal Leadership On Reducing Text Messaging While Driving, and DOT
Order 3902.10, Text Messaging While Driving, States are encouraged to adopt and enforce workplace safety policies
to decrease crashes caused by distracted driving, including policies to ban text messaging while driving comp any-
owned or rented vehicles, Government-owned, leased or rented vehicles, or privately-owned vehicles when on official
Government business or when performing any work on or behalf of the Government. States are also encouraged to
conduct workplace safety initiatives in a manner commensurate with the size of the business, such as establishment of
new rules and programs or re-evaluation of existing programs to prohibit text messaging while driving, and education,
awareness, and other outreach to employees about the safety risks associated with texting while driving.
