Schedule A
City of Lancaster
The Grantor determined awards and adjustments based on the Project’s merit, operational scale, compliance with the Request for Application (RFA), and program regulations. Certain activities or budget items proposed in Schedule A may have been deemed ineligible for funding. The final, binding list of authorized activities and expenses is set forth in Schedule B - Detailed Budget Estimate.
Project Description
The Lancaster Police Department (LPD) proposes a comprehensive enforcement, training, and public education project designed to reduce impaired driving collisions and fatalities within the City of Lancaster. As LPD assumes primary traffic jurisdiction in August 2026, the Department will implement data- driven high- visibility DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols concentrated in high-risk corridors and during high-risk hours.
This Project directly supports the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program’s intent by addressing cannabis - and polysubstance-impaired driving through three integrated strategies:
1. Targeted high-visibility enforcement in identified hotspots.
2. Expanded officer capacity to detect cannabis impairment through ARIDE and SFST training.
3. Direct point-of-sale cannabis education and youth prevention programming.
Enforcement operations will be conducted throughout the City, with the majority of efforts focused on Sierra Highway, Avenue K, and Challenger Way—corridors representing 20% of the City’s DUI-related collisions and in proximity to all three licensed cannabis dispensaries. Training efforts will expand impairment detection capacity among traffic officers, and education initiatives will target youth (ages 16 –25) and retail cannabis consumers using a behavioral commitment “Drive Sober Pledge” campaign.
This integrated enforcement-education-retail partnership model leverages data analytics, retail engagement, and high-visibility deterrence to reduce DUI collisions by 10% within the 12-month performance period.
Problem Statement
The City of Lancaster (population 173,500) is experiencing a measurable increase in impaired driving incidents that disproportionately impact young adults and high-risk roadway corridors.
Between 2024 and 2025:
• DUI arrests increased from 409 to 466 (14% increase). • DUI-related collisions increased from 100 to 133 (33% increase).
The sharp rise in collisions despite increased arrests demonstrates that enforcement and prevention efforts have not sufficiently deterred impaired driving behavior.
According to the most recent Office of Traffic Safety Crash Rankings, Lancaster ranks 8th out of 62 similarly sized cities for alcohol involved crashes and has ranked in the lowest percentile for DUI arrest performance relative to crash burden over the past seven years. Over 50% of DUI arrests involve drivers ages 20– 40, and the City ranks in the bottom quartile for DUI arrests involving drivers ages 21–34 and underage drivers.
Transportation Injury Mapping System data indicates:
• 80% of DUI-related collisions occur outside traditional traffic enforcement hours. • 20% of DUI collisions occur on Sierra Highway, Avenue K, and Challenger Way.
All three licensed cannabis dispensaries are located on or within one-half mile of Sierra Highway, a documented impaired driving corridor. The concentration of cannabis retail locations and alcohol serving establishments increases the risk of cannabis-related and polysubstance impaired driving.
Until August 2026, primary traffic jurisdiction has been held by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Lancaster Station, which has faced severe staffing shortages and the highest call volume in the County. As a result, DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols have not been conducted consistently, reducing deterrence visibility.
Schedule A
The unmet needs in Lancaster include:
1. High visibility enforcement during high risk hours.
2. Increased officer capacity to identify cannabis impaired drivers.
3. Direct education at cannabis point of sale locations and among youth populations.
Without intervention, DUI related collisions, particularly cannabis involved impairment, are projected to continue rising, increasing injury and fatality risk within the community.
This Project utilizes a retail level public safety intervention model by integrating impaired driving education directly into cannabis point of sale environments. Rather than relying solely on traditional enforcement, Lancaster is implementing a three tiered approach:
Data-Driven Hotspot Enforcement
Enforcement resources are deployed based on geospatial crash mapping and high- risk time analysis.
Point-of-Sale Prevention Strategy
Dispensary pop-ups and Train the Trainer workshops convert retail environments into prevention partners.
Behavioral Commitment Model
The “Drive Sober Pledge” campaign integrates behavioral psychology by encouraging public commitment, increasing personal accountability and social norm change.
This integrated enforcement, education, retail partnership approach represents an innovative model for cannabis related DUI prevention. Unlike traditional DUI programs that focus solely on post violation enforcement, this Project intervenes at the point of sale within cannabis retail environments, embedding DUI prevention messaging directly at the moment of behavioral decision making.

Schedule A
Program Sustainability
As the Lancaster Police Department grows the opportunities for other funding sources will become available, such as OTS grants that are traditionally used for this type of traffic enforcement. We will also look to partner with our traffic engineering department on other types of design and enforcement grants. If proven effective, funding for these activities could also be included in the general fund budget. It is the priority of the City to increase traffic safety, and the intention of the LPD to continue these programs monthly regardless of the type of funding available.
The public education campaign is already reducing dependency on grant funding through collaboration, cost sharing, and leveraging available resources. This currently looks like:
Collaboration – LPD works hand in hand with community-based organizations to bring awareness and community buy-in is taking shape. Community organizations see the work that is being done and volunteer to be a part of the solution via in-kind donations and sponsorships.
Additionally, the local organizations that partner to bring awareness get the experience needed to go after additional funding of their own.
Leveraging technology and previously acquired resources- outside of the content creator, sharing information on social media platforms is free and effective. As a community, the City can continue to educate by posting consistent messages of awareness on multiple platforms.
Through consistent feedback, the project aims to get the point-of-sale ambassadorship to be so effective that it becomes a part of the job and culture within the establishments.
Administrative Support
The project is supported by experienced staff both within the LPD and the City. The LPD has administered the CTFGP grant since 2023 and understands the processes and protocols to follow the grant guidelines. The Finance team brings a wealth of grant experience as the City frequently utilizes state and federal funding for many of its projects. The grant will be managed by the CORE division of the LPD, which includes a Manager who will work closely with the Traffic Sergeant and Officers to ensure the project schedule and milestones are completed on time and within budget. A Senior Analyst will collect and evaluate data and statistics to show effectiveness and outcomes. One part-time position, a Grant Administrator (exact title TBD), is being requested in the grant to assist with all administrative and fiscal functions, including coordinating training and public education logistics, ensuring data is collected from the checkpoints and saturation patrols, and handling grant reporting and requirements with the traffic division and finance. Through a previous CTFGP grant, LPD has a DUI truck, DUI trailer, DUI message boards, and other equipment that will be used for the DUI checkpoints. The projects will be supported with the overhead staff of the LPD that are already in place.
