PROBLEM STATEMENT The City of Dublin is a city with a residential population of 72,589 as of 04/01/20. The U.S Census Bureau ranked the City of Dublin as the third fastest growing city with a population over 30,000 by percentage in California over the past ten years! In addition, Dublin is the number one fastest growing city by percentage in the entire 9-county San Francisco Bay Area. Through a growing light industry, existing retail business, and planned future residential, retail, and commercial development, the day -time population of Dublin can increase by over 85%. The City of Dublin currently has 126 miles of roadway, with more being planned. The vehicular traffic in Dublin can increase to 115,000 vehicles coming in -and -out of the city on an average day. There are four major roadways thru Dublin which allow for a high volume of vehicular traffic during all hours from the neighboring cities of San Ramon, Pleasanton, and Livermore. All three of these cities are growing as fast, if not faster, than Dublin with retail, commercial, and residential development. Dublin is bordered on the south by Interstate 580 and on the west with Interstate 680 running north and south thru Dublin. Due to the increasing volume of traffic crashes are on the rise while staffing levels remain stagnant. The Dublin Police Services (DPS) Traffic Unit is staffed with four Traffic Officers and one Sergeant. The DPS Traffic Units will aggressively address driving problems during the hours which they most occur. The Traffic Unit will also address other major primary crash factors. The normal day-to-day Traffic Unit objectives will continue without interruption. As faced with most cities in California, and with the onset and return to normalcy as it related to traffic flows and patterns, Dublin has seen a significant increase in injury crashes. In 2021 Dublin Police saw an increase of 39.5 percent in injury related traffic collisions. This increase includes 44.9 percent people being injured in those collisions. This is partly due to the mere fact there are more vehicles traveling on Dublin roadways at higher rates of speed than ever before coupled with drivers making unsafe decision behind the wheel. Dublin Police also saw a dramatic increase in DUI related collisions from having only 11 in 2020 to 25 DUI related collision in 2021. This is nearly a 77 percent increase. This significate rise can be attributed to more bars and lounges being open to in -person serving since the ending stages of the pandemic. The DPS Traffic Unit will effectively and systemically address some of the concerns associated with the rise in injury and DUI related crashes in the City of Dublin. Targeted enforcement for speed violators, distracted driving violators, and the apprehension of impaired drivers will be high priorities under grant funded operations. The Dublin Police to conduct DUI Checkpoints with the City, which will bring community awareness and education about DUI related crimes. These targeted enforcement engagements should have a significate impart on the City of Dublin's overall collision statistics. The DPS Traffic Unit will conduct collaborative efforts with surrounding Alameda County agencies, specifically within the Tri-Valley Cities of Livermore, Pleasanton, and Dublin to address staffing shortages to conduct enforcement operations. 2.
