Council is requested to adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept a State of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) Grant – “Click It or Ticket” campaign – consisting of conducting intense vehicle occupant protection enforcement in the amount of $11,338.56. The required enforcement period will be May 22, 2019 – June 5, 2019. The grant will be utilized to provide a greater level of traffic safety for the citizenry of the City of Garland by potentially changing the driving habits of those who violate the laws related to vehicle occupant protection and child safety seat enforcement thereby reducing the number of injuries and fatalities related to motor vehicle accidents.
This item was considered by Council at the May 20, 2019 Work Session.
