A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON,
APPROVING THE ESTABLISHMENT AND FUNDING OF A DEDICATED
TRAFFIC SAFETY PROGRAM.
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco has experienced continued growth resulting in increased
traffic volumes, intersections, roadway miles, and demands on public safety resources, creating an
increased need for proactive traffic safety enforcement; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance No. 4392 provides that revenue generated from automated traffic

in the City through infrastructure and programming initiatives consistent with the City of Pasco's
Comprehensive Transportation Plans; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted the Transportation System Master Plan
(TSMP), Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), and Comprehensive Safety Action Plan

enforcement, speed management, impaired driving enforcement, and high-visibility enforcement;
and
WHEREAS, the Police Department has determined that establishing a dedicated Traffic
Safety Program focused on data-driven enforcement, including High Visibility Enforcement, DUI
enforcement, targeted speed enforcement, and deployment based on crash and violation data, is
consistent with Ordinance No. 4392 and the City's adopted transportation safety plans.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PASCO, WASHINGTON:
That the City Council hereby establishes a dedicated Traffic Safety Program within the
