Schedule A
Santa Clara Police Department
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 City of Santa Clara faces ongoing impaired-driving challenges due to high traffic volumes, regional commuter patterns, and frequent large-scale events. Levi’s Stadium, located within the City, hosts NFL games, concerts, and major sporting events that generate substantial surges in visitors, nighttime travel, and congestion. These conditions increase the risk of alcohol, cannabis, and polysubstance- impaired driving and place additional demands on local law enforcement.
The Santa Clara Police Department will use grant funding to enhance impaired driving enforcement efforts focused on deterrence, detection, and roadway safety. Enforcement activities will include high- visibility DUI patrols, targeted saturation patrols, and operations during special events and other high-risk periods. These efforts will prioritize identifying cannabis and drug impaired drivers and reducing impaired driving related collisions.
To strengthen enforcement effectiveness, the Department will expand specialized training for sworn personnel. Funding will support increasing the number of officers trained in DRE, ARIDE. SFST, and DUI investigation techniques. Expanding this training will improve the Department’s capacity to conduct legally sound investigations and support successful DUI prosecutions.
In addition to enforcement and training, the Department will implement teen prevention efforts. Impaired- driving education will be provided to high school students, emphasizing the unique risks faced by teen drivers, including inexperience, peer influence, and impaired judgment. These efforts aim to discourage impaired driving and promote long-term safe driving behaviors.
Problem Statement
The City of Santa Clara, California has a population of approximately 133,132 (July 1, 2024, US Census), encompasses 19.3 square miles of mixed urban and commercial zones, with a mild climate in the heart of Silicon Valley. Several major technology companies have a significant presence, or are headquartered in the City, including Intel Corporation, NVIDIA, Advanced Micro Devices, Applied Materials, Agilent Technologies, Hitachi America and more. Santa Clara is a popular tourist destination attracting visitors to events at Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara University & Mission and California's Great America theme park.
The Santa Clara Police Department (SCPD) is dedicated to ensuring safe roadways for residents, commuters, and visitors within the City of Santa Clara. Impaired driving, particularly involving alcohol, cannabis, and polysubstance use, continues to pose a significant public safety challenge and remains a leading contributor to traffic collisions, injuries, and fatalities within the community. Santa Clara faces unique impaired-driving risks due to its role as a regional destination for large-scale events and entertainment. The City is home to Levi’s Stadium, which hosts NFL games, major sporting events, international soccer matches, concerts, and other large-scale gatherings. These events draw approximately one million visitors annually, resulting in significant surges in traffic volume, nighttime travel, and impaired driving risk before, during, and after events.
SCPD uses Crossroads Analytics to analyze traffic safety, DUI enforcement, and collision data. Over the past several years, Santa Clara has experienced multiple fatal traffic collisions, with DUI -related crashes accounting for a recurring portion of these fatalities. In addition, DUI-related crashes have resulted in dozens of injury collisions each year, injuring numerous motorists, passengers, and pedestrians. These incidents highlight the persistent threat impaired driving poses to public safety and underscore the need for focused enforcement and prevention efforts. Statistics show that an average of 17% (nearly 1 in 5) of fatal and severe injury crashes involves a driver under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Local crash data demonstrates a persistent and serious impaired driving problem:
Schedule A
2023
• 8 total fatal crashes, 3 DUI-related, resulting in death • 31 DUI-related injury crashes, injuring 41 people
2024
• 9 total fatal crashes, 2 DUI-related, resulting in death • 25 DUI-related injury crashes, injuring 34 people
2025
• 4 total fatal crashes, 2 DUI-related, resulting in death • 31 DUI-related injury crashes, injuring 39 people
The high influx of visitors unfamiliar with local roadways, combined with alcohol and cannabis use associated with entertainment events, increases the likelihood of impaired driving throughout the City. Cannabis impaired driving presents additional enforcement challenges due to difficulties in detection and the growing prevalence of cannabis use. These conditions place increased demands on local law enforcement resources and require focused, proactive DUI enforcement and specialized training to effectively identify and deter impaired drivers.
Traffic safety concerns are most acute along major arterial roadways and within high- activity commercial and residential corridors where interactions between vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists are frequent. Peak commute periods further intensify congestion and unsafe driving behaviors, including impaired driving. These conditions are reflected in recent collision trends, including a fatal traffic collision at a high- volume intersection, underscoring the elevated risk at locations characterized by heavy traffic volumes and complex traffic movements.
Santa Clara’s commitment to improving roadway safety is reflected in its Vision Zero initiative, a comprehensive effort aimed at reducing and ultimately eliminating traffic fatalities. As part of this data- driven approach, a detailed analysis of collision data was conducted, identifying Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs as a critical contributing factor. In response, the City will employ a multi -layered strategy that includes DUI checkpoints, high-visibility saturation patrols, and public education campaigns as key components of its Vision Zero framework.
To effectively address these challenges, the Police Department requires essential DUI checkpoint equipment and supplies to safely and efficiently conduct impaired-driving enforcement operations. The Department currently lacks a suitable vehicle to safely tow its DUI checkpoint trailer; a 3/4-ton truck with adequate towing capacity would support safe transportation of the trailer to checkpoint locations. The DUI truck could also be used to conduct saturation patrols, which supports the goals of high-visibility enforcement, officer safety, and operational efficiency, all of which strengthen DUI deterrence and overall roadway safety outcomes.
Additionally, a Sprinter-style van will enhance the effectiveness and visibility of DUI checkpoint and saturation patrol operations by serving as a high-visibility enforcement and public education platform. Outfitted with emergency lighting, reflective markings, and prominent anti-DUI messaging, the vehicle will reinforce deterrence and increase public awareness of impaired driving enforcement efforts. The van will also function as a mobile processing and equipment support unit, providing secure storage for preliminary alcohol screening devices, Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) materials, and traffic control equipment. By improving operational efficiency, officer safety, and community-facing anti-DUI messaging, the vehicle directly supports data-driven strategies to reduce alcohol- and drug-impaired driving collisions and aligns with Vision Zero goals to prevent serious injury and fatal traffic crashes.
The Police Department would like to replace and update critical DUI enforcement and education equipment that has become outdated, worn, or operationally inefficient. The existing DUI trailer wrap no longer provides clear, high visibility, impaired driving messaging and requires replacement to enhance public awareness and deterrence. Solar flares are needed to improve visibility and safety at DUI checkpoints during nighttime and low-light conditions, reducing the risk of secondary collisions and improving traffic control. A traffic counter is necessary to replace the current manual vehicle counting process, which is time intensive and prone to error, limiting accurate data collection and evaluation, while tie-down equipment is required to properly secure supplies within the DUI trailer, improving safety, organization, and operational readiness.
Schedule A
SCPD will host a community-based educational event designed to inform teenage drivers about the dangers of impaired driving in alignment with the City’s Vision Zero commitment to eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The program will incorporate the use of Fatal Vision Goggles to provide hands -on, realistic demonstrations of how alcohol- and cannabis-related impairment affects vision, reaction time, coordination, and decision making. By allowing teens to safely experience simulated impairment, the event underscores the heightened risks faced by young and inexperienced drivers, including delayed responses and diminished situational awareness. This interactive approach reinforces the real-world consequences of impaired driving and supports Vision Zero’s emphasis on early prevention, education, and responsible decision- making before unsafe behaviors become established.
To further advance Vision Zero objectives, the Santa Clara Police Department requires advanced impaired driving training to effectively address alcohol, cannabis, and polysubstance-related DUI offenses, with priority given to officers assigned to the Traffic Unit. Training and certification in Drug Recognition Expert (D.R.E.), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (A.R.I.D.E.), Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), and comprehensive DUI investigation techniques are critical to equipping officers with the skills necessary to recognize impairment, conduct legally sound evaluations, and complete thorough investigations. As cannabis - impaired driving presents unique detection challenges, expanding the number of Traffic Unit officers trained and certified in these disciplines will strengthen enforcement capacity, enhance the consistency and quality of DUI arrests and reporting, and support successful prosecution. Increased training ensures the Department can sustain high-visibility DUI enforcement during peak traffic periods, large-scale events, and routine patrol operations, directly supporting Vision Zero’s goal of reducing and ultimately eliminating serious injury and fatal collisions within the community.
Performance Measures/Scope of Work (Proposed Solution)
The Santa Clara Police Department will implement a comprehensive enforcement, equipment, and prevention strategy to reduce alcohol and cannabis impaired driving through targeted patrols, DUI checkpoints, operational support, and youth education.
DUI Saturation Patrols:
The Department will conduct 16 high visibility DUI saturation patrols over the grant period, scheduled quarterly to ensure consistent enforcement coverage. Patrols will occur at a rate of four patrols per quarter.
These patrols will focus on high-risk locations, nighttime hours, weekends, and periods associated with increased impaired-driving activity. Between October 2024 - Sept 2025, SCPD conducted four saturation patrols. By increasing saturation patrol activity by approximately 300 percent, SCPD aims to enhance visibility, deter impaired driving, and achieve a 10-20 percent reduction in DUI/DUID incidents. Grant resources will fund officer overtime.
DUI Checkpoints:
The Department will conduct two highly visible DUI checkpoints during the grant term, with one checkpoint scheduled in the second or third quarter and one in the fourth quarter. Checkpoints will be strategically deployed in locations with a demonstrated history of DUI activity and during identified high- risk periods.
Between December 2024 and July 2025, the Santa Clara Police Department conducted two DUI checkpoints, during which 1,649 vehicles passed through, 300 drivers were contacted, 11 unlicensed drivers were identified, and one vehicle was towed. These efforts are intended to deter impaired driving, increase public awareness, and enhance the detection of impaired drivers. Grant resources will be used for officer (to include Community Service Officer) overtime and supported by appropriate checkpoint equipment to include DUI sprinter style van (command center), DUI truck, checkpoint trailer with DUI messaging, tie downs, solar flares and traffic control devices (traffic counters).
Vehicle Procurement and Deployment:
To support checkpoint and saturation patrol operations, procurement of a 3/4-ton truck and a sprinter-style van. Vehicle procurement will occur in Q1, followed by receipt and equipment installation in Q2. Vehicles will be deployed for DUI checkpoint operations in Q3 and Q4. The DUI truck will improve the Department’s ability to safely transport the DUI checkpoint trailer, and will support high visibility saturation patrols, officer safety and operational efficiency. A Sprinter style van can significantly enhance the effectiveness, safety, and public messaging impact of a DUI checkpoint operation. Its size, visibility, and functional capacity make it well suited for both enforcement and community-facing, educational objectives.
Schedule A
Teen Impaired Driving Education:
The SCPD will host a police department led impaired driving education event for teenage drivers in the third or fourth quarter. The program will focus on impaired driving risks and will incorporate interactive demonstrations. The Department aims to educate 25 to 50 students during this event. Resources will include Fatal Vision Goggles and officer overtime.
Together, these coordinated activities will strengthen DUI enforcement capacity, improve operational readiness, enhance public awareness, and support measurable reductions in impaired driving within the City of Santa Clara.
Project Performance Evaluation
The effectiveness of this project will be measured through ongoing performance monitoring and outcome- based evaluation conducted throughout the grant term. DUI/DUID saturation patrols and checkpoints will be reviewed on a quarterly basis to assess operational effectiveness, compliance with grant objectives, and overall impact on impaired driving within the community. The Traffic Sergeant will provide oversight of deployment planning and performance tracking.
Project success will be evaluated using quantitative performance including the number of saturation patrols and checkpoints conducted, vehicles screened, driver contacts, DUI/DUID arrests, citations issued, and impaired driving, related collisions, and vehicle tows. These metrics will be used to assess both enforcement productivity and progress toward reducing impaired driving and related crashes. Qualitative measures, including officer observations and community feedback, will supplement data analysis and provide context for enforcement outcomes.
Enforcement and collision data will be analyzed to identify trends, high risk locations, and peak times for impaired driving. This analysis will guide the strategic deployment of future checkpoints and saturation patrols, ensuring grant resources are focused on areas with the greatest potential to reduce collisions, injuries, and fatalities. Evaluation findings will be shared internally with patrol and traffic personnel to support continuous improvement and coordinated enforcement efforts.
Project results will be communicated to the public through press releases and Department social media platforms to increase awareness of DUI/DUID enforcement activities and reinforce deterrence messaging.
Performance data and evaluation summaries will be reported to the California Highway Patrol Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program on a quarterly basis in accordance with grant requirements and to demonstrate the project’s positive impact on traffic safety and community well-being.
Program Sustainability
SCPD is committed to sustaining impaired driving enforcement beyond the grant period while reducing reliance on future grant funding. SCPD is a full-service law enforcement agency with 152 sworn officers serving 133,132 residents, in addition to a significant daily and seasonal visitor population. Last year, the Department responded to more than 41,000 calls for service, requiring strategic deployment of limited resources while maintaining traffic safety and DUI/DUID enforcement as core responsibilities.
Grant funding will enhance enforcement visibility, staffing capacity, and operational effectiveness during the grant term. If funding is reduced or unavailable, SCPD will continue DUI/DUID enforcement by integrating saturation patrols and checkpoints into routine patrol operations as staffing permits. Enforcement will remain data-driven to ensure efficient allocation of personnel and resources.
While future constraints may limit acquisition of additional specialized equipment, SCPD will assume ongoing maintenance and operational costs for grant funded vehicles. Requests for officer training, trailer wraps, educational materials, and checkpoint supplies are structured to avoid recurring expenses, allowing these components to be sustained without additional funding. Grant funded vehicles will improve officer safety and operational capability, and educational equipment will support ongoing outreach a t schools and community events.
These efforts will continue beyond the grant period by leveraging existing staffing, data- driven strategies, and minimal ongoing costs to support impaired-driving deterrence, collision reduction, and public safety.
Schedule A
Administrative Support
The Santa Clara Police Department (SCPD) has the administrative structure, personnel, and experience necessary to successfully manage and complete the proposed project within the grant performance period.
The City of Santa Clara supports the Police Department’s ongoing efforts to identify and arrest impaired drivers to keep local roadways safe for residents, commuters, and visitors. Citywide public and department support for the Vision Zero program, reinforced through community engagement efforts, demonstrates a strong commitment to improving roadway safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers.
Grant activities are fully supported by the Chief of Police, Assistant Chief of Police and the Patrol Captain, ensuring executive oversight, operational alignment, and accountability. Grant goals and objectives were developed collaboratively with the Traffic Sergeant, who will be responsible for implementing grant funded enforcement activities, including DUI/DUID saturation patrols and checkpoints. The Traffic Sergeant will oversee scheduling, deployment, and operational performance.
A Department Management Analyst will work closely with the Traffic Sergeant to monitor grant progress toward monthly objectives and targets, track performance data, and ensure timely submission of required quarterly reports and invoices. SCPD has the physical resources, facilities, and equipment necessary to support enforcement operations, data tracking, and grant administration throughout the project period.
SCPD has demonstrated grant management experience through prior California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) STEP grants in FY 2021/22 and FY 2024/25. In FY 2021/22, SCPD achieved 86% of objectives and targets, despite significant challenges related to COVID-19, including budget reductions, a 23% workforce reduction, and a hiring freeze. In FY 2024/25, SCPD achieved 83% of objectives and targets, with limitations primarily related to staffing shortages, personnel transitions, and required certifications for officer attendance at DRE/SFST instructor training.
Based on improved staffing stability, enhanced planning, and lessons learned from prior grants, SCPD is confident in its ability to meet and complete all grant objectives and deliverables if awarded funding.
