GRANT AGREEMENT PT23063
Schedule A
1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The San Rafael Police Department serves the people that live and work in the City of San Rafael. San
Rafael serves as the seat of Marin County and has a population of approximately 57,912 people (US
Census 2020). San Rafael also has ten of the top fifteen employers in Marin County.
Business and commerce bring people and traffic into San Rafael from other areas of the San Francisco Bay
Area. The service population of San Rafael during the day swells to well over 100,000 people. US Highway
101 and Interstate 580 intersect in San Rafael, providing a substantial volume of traffic during morning and
evening commute hours along with steady traffic flow during non -commute hours. As in other parts of the
San Francisco Bay Area, the traditional commute hours start earlier and conclude well into the
evening. Additionally, 1-580 serves as an alternate route for commuters when Highway 37 is closed due to
flooding or crashes and an alternate route for the San Francisco Bay Bridge when it faces similar
circumstances. These frequent events significantly increase traffic volumes far beyond the surface street's
engineered capabilities.
Much of the traffic is concentrated in the downtown area, which is congested by on -ramps and off -ramps
connecting northbound and southbound US 101, plus eastbound/westbound 1-580. The surrounding streets
have an arterial effect, serving commuters from two neighboring cities and communities on the west side of
Marin County. San Rafael has served as a service hub and stopping point between the Wine Country to the
north and San Francisco to the south for restaurants, gas stations, and other amenities.
The San Rafael Transit Center, the largest transit center in the County and the North Bay Area, is in
Downtown San Rafael. Starting in July of 2017, the Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART Train) began
operating 38 daily trips from the Sonoma County Airport, through Santa Rosa and Petaluma into Downtown
San Rafael and on to Larkspur Landing, where commuters connect with the Golden Gate Ferry Terminal
that takes commuters into the City of San Francisco. The addition of the SMART train expanded the transit
center's footprint and increased surrounding congestion. Pedestrian traffic to and from the train station
crosses some of the busiest streets in San Rafael.
San Rafael has an additional SMART train station located at the Marin Civic Center. There are 10 grade
crossings within the jurisdiction. This is a significant safety concern for the community and the department
because there have been numerous fatal and major injury crashes involving the train with pedestrians,
bicyclists, and vehicles in San Rafael and the communities north of San Rafael.
With the downtown SMART train station, the San Rafael Transit Center, the US 101 ramps into downtown
San Rafael, and the arterial streets of Second Street and Third Street that provide routes to neighboring
cities and communities, has caused significant congestion with vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian
traffic. Additionally, all these identified locations are within a block of each other. The proximity of these
specific points has made the intersections that border them the busiest in the city.
One of those is the intersection of Third Street and Netherton Street. On January 3, 2019, a major SF Bay
Area news radio station, KCBS, reported that the Third and Hetherton Streets intersection is the most
dangerous for pedestrians and bicyclists in the North Bay Area. See https://omny.fm/shows/kcbsam-on-
demand/marin-county-is-among-most-dangerous-for-pedestrian for details. This article was published
almost a year before the SMART train extension south into Larkspur Landing was operational. SMART train
operations have increased congestion in the area.
The intersection of Second Street and Hetherton Street, located on the San Rafael Transit Center's
southeast corner and provides access to southbound US -101, was determined to be the busiest intersection
in San Rafael by the Public Works Traffic Engineering Team. Pre-COVID, in March of 2020, the intersection
had a daily count of 44,413 cars, 42 bicycles, and 481 pedestrian crossings. During the current COVID
stay-at-home restrictions and the most recent count done in December of 2020, the intersection had a daily
count of 35,934 vehicles, 48 bicycles, and 327 pedestrian crossings.
8/26/2022 9:55:57 AM Page 3 of 20
In addition, San Rafael High School and Davidson Middle School are located within 0.5 miles of the transit
center. Most of the student population from both schools walk to the transit center to take public transit or
walk through the downtown area.
In 2021, the traffic engineering team also identified the top busiest routes in San Rafael. The study showed
that the #1 route continued to be the east -west running Second and Third Streets, which provide access
between downtown and the neighboring cities of San Anselmo and Fairfax. Second and Third Streets had a
daily average count of 42,672 vehicles combined. It should be noted that Second Street and Third Street
are three -lane one-way streets. The #2 route was Bellam Boulevard between Francisco Boulevard East and
Andersen Drive (located in the southeast portion of the city), with a daily average vehicle count of 29,468
vehicles.
In November of 2019, the Richmond -San Rafael Bridge bike/pedestrian path opened, and the Department
has seen an ongoing increase in bicycle traffic from downtown into the east end of the city.
The city's service satisfaction surveys continue to show that the public's #1 concern is traffic congestion and
traffic safety. Traffic safety concerns mostly revolve around speed, red-light running, vehicles violating
pedestrian right of ways, DUI, and reckless driving. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and employers
allowing their employees to work from home, traffic complaints have significantly increased since people are
able to witness daily activity in their neighborhoods.
In addition to the concerns expressed in the satisfaction surveys, ongoing community traffic complaints have
focused on speeding concerns in four consistently identified locations. Those locations have been identified
as Point San Pedro Road in the city's east end, the Miracle Mile (eastbound Fourth and Second Streets) in
the west end, Third Street and Mission Street at San Rafael High School, and Nova Albion Way at Terra
Linda High School. These traffic complaint locations have also received the attention of the City
Council. City Council members have committed to partnering with the police department to conduct
community outreach in the hopes of generating community awareness that hold citizens and neighbors
accountable to each other.
To further assist with outreach and enforcement, the Motor/Traffic Unit is currently using its two RADAR
feedback trailers full-time between these top four complaint locations. While this has been beneficial for the
most highly complained about locations, it has left the Department deficient in being able to deploy the
RADAR feedback trailers to other complaint locations that deserve attention. The police department has
identified that an additional RADAR feedback trailer would allow the Department to extend and support
outreach/awareness efforts for these other complaint locations.
Crash data from years 2020 through 2021 indicated that most of the city's crashes occur due to unsafe
turns, excessive/unsafe speed, red-light violations, driving under the influence, and unsafe starting. For
2021 specifically, the primary crash factor of driving under the influence moved from the #4 position to the
#3 position. The community and the police department has also struggled for several years to reduce fatal
and injury crashes involving pedestrians and bicyclists. According to the 2019 OTS Crash Ranking Results,
San Rafael was ranked 33 of 105 for total fatal and injury crashes, 15 of 105 for crashes involving bicyclists,
2 of 102 for crashes involving pedestrians, and 1 of 102 for crashes involving pedestrians age 65+. These
statistics reflect that San Rafael has a disproportionate number of crashes involving bicyclists and
pedestrians. Unfortunately, no city wants to be ranked in the top tier of any category where its population is
identified as being at risk.
In the calendar year 2019 and 2020, 19 sworn officers separated from the police department, and hired 11
new officers. In the calendar year 2021, 5 more sworn officers separated from the Police Department while
hiring 3 more. The fluctuation of the employment numbers is unprecedented for a police department of this
size. The police department has put together an aggressive recruitment campaign and team to try and stay
ahead of vacated positions. Most of the newly hired officers are new to law enforcement and face a learning
curve, especially in traffic safety and DUI investigations. The ongoing ability to send officers to SFST/ARIDE
DUI classes and RADAR/LIDAR classes will be essential to meeting the goals of DUI enforcement and
traffic enforcement operations.
8/26/2022 9:55:57 AM Page 4 of 20
There are currently two motor officers assigned to the Traffic Unit. At times, they are asked to assist with
essential patrol staffing. This increase in workload has resulted in a significant decrease in proactive traffic
enforcement by motor officers. Police Chief David Spiller has assessed current department staffing and the
ability to match the demand for services important to the community and determined that the department
needs to add eight additional sworn personnel. The addition of eight sworn personnel is beyond the current
authorized positions approved by the city. One of the main priorities for the added personnel would be to
increase the traffic/motor officer unit from two to four personnel. However, budget constraints limit the ability
for the additional personnel to be added to the police department at this time.
The current option for the police department to expand traffic enforcement and pedestrian/bicycle
enforcement operations is to provide extra duty overtime assignments/shifts. Since every police
department's priority is to respond to 9-1-1 emergency calls, respond to crimes -in -progress, and investigate
criminal violations; this limits free and available time with minimal staff to work proactively on certain
important issues, such as, traffic related enforcement programs.
Since speeding was ranked as a significant primary cause in crashes for 2019, 2020, and 2021, the San
Rafael Police Department has identified that it needs to expand and improve its tools and equipment to
conduct focused traffic enforcement on speeding vehicles.
Considering current events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and civil unrest related to police -community
relations, concerns have been raised about operating DUI checkpoints. Case in point, as I am currently
writing this statement the department has placed a moratorium on events and enforcement activities that
cause large amount of police personnel to gather due to the COVID-19 Omicron variant outbreak. In the
interest of safety for the public and personnel, the police department command staff would prefer to avoid
assembling large amounts of personnel to conduct DUI checkpoints. However, SRPD has been able to
conduct DUI saturation patrol operations, which are safer for the public and personnel due to the limited
general exposure to each other.
Statistically speaking, the police department has found that DUI saturation patrol operations are more
effective in locating and apprehending DUI drivers. The police department has also used press releases
and social media platforms to highly publicize the DUI saturation patrol operations and raise awareness
about DUI with the public. During the 2018-2019 STEP Grant (PT19132) there were two DUI Checkpoint
operations that yielded 21 field sobriety tests being conducted resulting in 2 arrests. In comparison, there
were 48 DUI Saturation Patrol operations yielding 62 field sobriety tests and 13 arrests. During the 2020-
2021 STEP Grant (PT21141) there was one DUI Checkpoint operation that yielded 7 field sobriety tests
being conducted resulting in 2 arrests. A second scheduled checkpoint was attempted and had to be
canceled three separate times due to lack of staffing and COVID-19 concerns. In comparison, there were
19 DUI Saturation Patrol operations yielding 29 field sobriety tests and 12 arrests.
The San Rafael Police Department is focusing on pedestrian/bicycle enforcement operations, traffic
enforcement operations specifically directed at reducing excessive/unsafe speed, red light running,
distracted driving violations, and DUI enforcement campaigns.
The police department will also continue to promote community awareness and education. The SRPD have
planned and will continue to plan more aggressive enforcement strategies to reduce the number of
pedestrians injured and killed by conducting highly publicized crosswalk enforcement stings and pedestrian
enforcement saturation patrols in heavily traveled areas. The San Rafael Police Department has committed
to continuing partnership with city traffic engineers with goal to adjusting infrastructure that increases
pedestrian/vehicle visibility and safety.

■ 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 this quarter.
• All grant related purchases needed to implement the program should be made this 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 Hot Sheets 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 Reguirementslssue 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 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.

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
