Washington Traffic Safety Commission
Project Agreement
The Benton -Franklin Traffic Safety Task Force has served the lower Columbia Basin since
October 1, 2000. The Task Force continues to develop an extensive network of committed and
dedicated individuals, groups and agencies, ail diligently working to achieve the mission of
reducing the number of traffic related deaths and injuries through education, prevention
and enforcement". The collaborative efforts of the devoted folks of Benton and Franklin Counties
make it possible; WSP, Police Depts. of Pasco, Richland, Kennewick, West Richland, Prosser,
Benton and Franklin Sheriffs Office, B -F Juvenile Justice Dept, B -F Safe Kids Coalition/B-F Health
Dept., ESD 123 (Educational Service District 123), and B -F Substance Abuse Coalition.
Geographic Area: Benton and Franklin Counties are located in the southeastern part of WA State
and are diverse in demographics, economics and other societal criteria. There is a combined
population of approx. 224,800. Franklin Co, with a population of approximately 64,200, is primarily
agricultural. Benton Co with a population of approx. 160,600 is considered the retailing and
services hub. The three major cities, Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland (Tri -Cities), are very close
in proximity and separated by three rivers (Snake, Columbia & Yakima). These neighboring cities
are ranked as the 191st most populous metropolitan area of the U.S. The area also consists of
numerous smaller communities and rural areas such as; W. Richland, Benton City, Prosser, Basin
City, Connell, Finley, Kahlotus, and Mesa. Traffic -ways include 1-82, the 1-182 spur, State Routes
395, 240, 12, 124, 397, 17, 14, 224 and 260.
General Problem Identification: Benton and Franklin Counties have seen several major
changes in the area of traffic safety. Among these changes is the consistent rise in population,
including the Hispanic/Latino community, especially during the harvest season. In fact, according
to the 2000 Census data, 47% of the population in Franklin Co is Hispanic/Latino. This is even
higher than the 36% in Yakima Co. In addition, market research indicates that these numbers are
permanent residents; there are as many as 100,000 additional seasonal/migrant workers that live
in Eastern WA during the harvest season.
According to data (1996-2005) of the 157 traffic fatalities in Benton Co, 135 were vehicle occupants
(85%). While in Franklin County (1996-2005), of the 81 traffic deaths, 74 were vehicle occupants
(91 %). Both Benton and Franklin Counties are higher than the state percentage of 78.3%.
Of the 157 fatalities in Benton Co, 66% (or 104) were male while 33% (or 53) were female. In
Franklin Co during the same time frame, of the 81 fatalities, 71% (58) were male and 28% (23)
were females. This data indicates that the male demographics are over represented, therefore
playing a vital role in the overall number of fatalities.
In conclusion, the above data is a sign of overpopulated roadways and a large number of the
drivers who are unfamiliar with state laws. Without continuing education, prevention and
enforcement this combination is deadly.
Primary Focus Areas: After reviewing the available data, the Strategic Highway Safety Plan and
the Highway Safety Plan, the Traffic Safety Task Force will focus on 4 primary traffic safety
issues for this funding period; impaired driving, Hispanic/Latino surnamed drivers, speed, and
occupant protection.
A) IMPAIRED DRIVING:
1) Problem identification: Despite the continuing education and increased enforcement, DUI
continues to be a problem. From 1996-2005, there were 157 fatal crashes in Benton Co in which
impairment accounted for 29.29% (46). This percentage has decreased from the 39.3% from
1993-2003, but impairment remains a problem. In Franklin Co (1996-2005), there were 81 fatal
crashes in which impairment accounted for 40.74% (33 impaired driving involved).
The total number of fatalities involving alcohol in Benton Co has decreased from 2001 (9 of 20) to
2005 (3 of 15). During this same timeframe, Franklin Co saw a large increase from 2001 (2 of 12)
to 2002 (6 of 11), but in the proceeding years a definite decrease was present (2 of 4 in 2003, 2 of
3 in 2004, and 0 of 3 in 2005).
Although this data shows a decrease in fatalities in both counties, it also indicates that impaired
driver's still plays a major role in the overall number of fatal collisions.
According to WSP, B/F Counties had 9 fatalities in 2006 in which 2 were DUI related (1 Hispanic/1
Caucasian). In other words, 22.22% of the fatalities in 2006 involved an impaired driver. This is an
increase from 2005 where there was 1 (drug impaired).
DUI ARRESTS: In 2005, the combined LE agencies of B/F Counties arrested 1,943 impaired
drivers and 1,999 in 2004. This decrease in total number of arrests is due to the shortage of
staffing issues each agency has experienced in recent years.
Although data indicates a decrease in arrests, the small town of W. Richland is an exception. In
2004, W. Richland (Benton Co) made 28 DUI arrests and in 2005 the number increased to 52.
During the last Drive Hammered, Get Nailed Campaign (2006), the officers of W, Richland made
17 DUI arrests. This is the 2nd highest arrest rate in the state during this campaign.
Note: The cost for an officer to arrest a DUI is significant to not only the citizens of Benton and
Franklin Counties, but to the state of WA as a whole. Taking in to account that an average pay of a
midline officer in B/F is approx. $35/hr and the average arrest time for a DUI (from traffic stop to
booking) is approx. 3 hrs, the cost is upward of $105 per arrest. That means, the number of
arrests made in 2004 (1,999) cost approx. $209,895.00 (officers time) and in 2005 (1,943) it cost
approx. $204,015. The average cost of a fatal collision is $1,150,321 therefore the 14 fatalities in
B/F totaled approx. 111,145,948.
2) GOAL: To reduce the number of collisions involving impaired drivers, therefore
decreasing the number of fatality collisions.
3) Project Activities and Tasks:
■ Assist, coordinate and participate in statewide campaigns such as Drive Hammered, Get
Nailed and other DUI Emphasis Patrols such as; DOTS.
■ Work collaboratively with WTSC and contractors to maximize the results of these
campaigns.
■ Utilize all local media groups (3 TV stations, 14 radio stations, 1 newspaper) through
PSA'S, commercials, news stories and press conferences to raise the awareness of the
enforcement efforts, consequences, and new laws as it pertains to alcohol
■ Utilize WTSC resources such as; banners, posters, variable road signs, airplane banners
■ Assist in securing funding for extra enforcements such as DOTS, especially during those
times where drinking and driving has been identified as a particular problem (boat race
weekend, St. Patrick's Day, Cinco De Mayo, etc.)
Maintain stats on DUI'S, and traffic related deaths and collisions involving alcohol
4) Evaluation: This goal's evaluation will be tracked and measured by using data from various
sources such as; local statistics, WTSC, NHTSA, DOT, FARS etc. All are proven strategies and
comply with the SHSP.

8) HISPANIC/LATINO SURNAMED DRIVERS:
1) Problem identification: The Mid -Columbia Valley has seen a significant increase in the
number of Hispanic/Latino surnamed drivers in the past few years especially during the harvest
season. In 2006, the Hispanic population in Franklin Co. was approx. 4% while in Benton Co. it is
12%. In 2004, Pasco made 199 DUI arrests (# excludes the mos. of Sept. & Oct.). and 130 of
those were Hispanic (65% of the DUI arrests were Hispanic/Latino). In 2005, Franklin Co Sheriffs
Office made 69 arrests and 31 of those were Hispanic (44% of the DUI arrests were
Hispanic/Latino.
According to WSP, Hispanic surnamed drivers are over represented in fatality collisions in 2000
(47%), 2001 (55%), and in 2002 (49%). In 2002, there were 20 fatal collisions of which 12 were
DUI involved and of those, 9 were Hispanic. During that same year, 11 of the 20 fatal collisions
happened during the fall harvest season. In 2004, there were 14 fatal collisions in which 9 were
alcohol involved... almost half of those were Hispanic/Latino. In 2006, WSP (Kenn Detachment
includes W/W) reported 14 fatal collisions in which 4 involved Hispanic Surnamed Drivers (1
involving impairment).
Since the inception of the "EI Protector" program, Eastern WA has seen a significant reduction of
traffic related deaths, especially involving Hispanic surnamed drivers. This reduction is attributed
to the outreach program WSP and local LE continue to provide the community.
In 2002, Eastern WA was hit with the reality and severity of the lack of attention the Hispanic
community received regarding traffic safety when 4 separate tragedies occurred. In Jan., the 11t
incident left 1 dead and 2 critically injured, in June, 3 died leaving 3 critically injured, in Sept., 5
died critically injuring 1 and the Oct. incident took 1 life and left 4 critically injured.
2) Goal: To reduce the number of collisions involving Hispanic/Latino surnamed driver's
especially involving impairment (reduce traffic related deaths and injuries involving
Hispanics/Latinos).
3) Project Activities and Tasks:
■ Attend, participate and assist in the EI Protector meetings & community outreach efforts
■ Provide educational materials (literature, videos, CD's, etc.) in Spanish to groups,
individuals and events about traffic safety issues especially pertaining to drinking and
driving (B/F Juvenile Justice, school presentations, Hanford Expo, B/F Fair, etc.)
■ Assist with media (LaVoz, Viva Hispanic newspapers, weekly on -air talk shows, PSA'S
with Charter Media/Univision)
■ Attend issue related conferences and trainings
4) Evaluation: This goal's evaluation will be tracked and measured by. using data from various
sources such as; local statistics, WTSC, NHTSA, DOT, etc. All are proven strategies and comply
with the SHSP.

C) SPEED:
1) Problem identification: In 2005, 247 people died on WA State roadways in speeding related
crashes. In other words, 38% of all traffic fatalities in 2005 involved speed which is higher than the
US rate of 30% (13,113 fatalities)
Of the 157 fatal collisions in Benton Co. (1996-2005), 50 involved a speeding driver. That
accounts for 31.85% of the fatal collisions were speed related. In Franklin Co., 22 of the 81 fatal
collisions involved speed (1996-2005). That accounts for 27.16% of the fatal collisions were speed
related. In 2001 of the 20 fatalities in Benton Co, 6 involved speed. Despite the total number of
fatalities decreasing in the proceeding 4 years, the number of those that involved speed stayed
consistently the same (3 of 15 in 2002, 1 of 9 in 2003, 6 of 19 in 2004, and 5 of 15 in 2005). In
2004, of the 19 fatalities, 6 were speed related (this is the same # as 2001). In Franklin Co, speed
related fatalities has definitely declined from 2001 to 2005 (4 of 12 in 2001, 3 of 11 in 2002, 0 of 4
in 2003, 2 of 3 in 2004, and 1 of 3 in 2005) (National Center for Statistics & Analysis).
In 2005 (January -April), according to the WSP (Kenn Detachment includes WLW), 19,007 speed
contacts were made. Kennewick PD wrote 11,300 traffic citations in 2005 (Jan -Dec 23), of which,
2,861 were for speeding. Of the 11,300 citations written in 2005, 414 were for school zone
speeding. That's 28.98% of all traffic citations wrote in 2005 were speed related. During this same
year (2005), Pasco PD reported 5,019 driving infractions of which 1,576 were speed related and
454 were school zone speed related. That's 40.45% of the traffic infractions in the city limits of
Pasco were speed related. In Franklin Co, deputies wrote 1,513 citations for speed.
2) GOAL: To reduce the number of traffic related deaths and injuries involving speed by
decreasing the number of speed related crashes.
3) Project Activities and Tasks: To increase enforcement pertaining to speed and the use
of media to raise awareness of the efforts.
■ Assist, coordinate and participate in statewide campaigns pertaining to speed
enforcement/emphasis patrols.
■ Work collaboratively with WTSC and contractors to maximize the results of these
campaigns.
■ Utilize all local media groups (3 TV stations, 14 radio stations, 1 newspaper) through
PSA'S, commercials, news stories and press conferences to raise the awareness of the
enforcement efforts, consequences, and new laws as it pertains to alcohol
■ Utilize WTSC resources such as; banners, posters, variable road signs, airplane banners
■ Maintain stats on speed related infractions and collisions
■ Conduct surveys in public entities such as the Columbia Center Mall or by utilizing the
media (websites) accompanied by media (pertaining to behavior and knowledge).
■ Identify problem locations involving speed
• Identify demographics involved in speed (age group, gender)
■ Identify collisions involving both speed and impairment.
4) Evaluation: This goal's evaluation will be tracked and measured by using data from various
entities such as; local statistics, WTSC, NHTSA, DOT, etc. All are proven strategies and comply
with the SHSP.

C) Occupant Protection
1) Problem Identification: WA State Fatality Data, from 1996 — 2005, shows 6,439 people died
on WA roadways and of those 2,201 were restrained while 2,600 were not. Of the 6,439 fatalities
in WA from 1996-2005, 40.38% were not buckled up. During this same timeframe in Benton Co, of
the 157 fatalities, 44.59% of those were not buckled up (70) and in Franklin Co, of the 81 fatalities,
46.91 % were unrestrained (38). Data indicates that both counties are higher than the state rate.
Of the 452 (aged 5 & above) fatally injured vehicle occupants, 232 were restrained (51.33% used
some sort of restraint system) (WA state report "Restraint Use (Safety Belts & Child Seats)
among fatally injured passenger vehicle occupants'). In the age bracket of under 5 in the
same report, 6 of the 11 were restrained (54.55% used some sort of restraint system).
2) GOAL: To increase seatbelt usage rate therefore decreasing the number of fatalities
involving unrestrained vehicle occupants.
3) Project Activities and Tasks:
■ Assist, coordinate and participate in state campaigns such as; Click It or Ticket Campaigns
and the Nighttime Click It or Ticket Campaigns
■ Work collaboratively with WTSC and contractors to maximize the results of these
campaigns.
■ Utilize WTSC resources such as; banners, posters, variable road signs, airplane banners
■ Attend, participate and assist in the efforts of the B -F Safe Kids Coalition (includes
attending monthly meetings)
■ Maintain stats regarding occupant protection (both adult and child)
■ Attend any issue related conferences and trainings
■ Utilize the media (TV, radio, newspaper) through PSA'S, commercials, news stories and
press conferences to raise the awareness of the enforcement efforts, consequences, and
new laws as they pertain to occupant prevention
4) Evaluation: This goal's evaluation will be tracked and measured by using data from various
entities such as; local statistics, WTSC, NHTSA, DOT, etc.

**Number of fatal collisions involving unrestrained occupants
**Number of seatbelt violations
Other Activities and Tasks:
■ Coopers Corner:
Coopers Corner is not a proven strategy but the success of the project will
ultimately reduce the number of traffic related deaths and serious injuries in the
Mid Columbia. We will have a better idea of the effectiveness in 3 to 5
■ Every 15 Minutes Programs:
The Every 15 Minutes program is not a proven strategy but has been a part of
Benton and Franklin Counties for 10+ years. All of the high schools in the 2
counties participate by conducting their own program. Each area designs their
own program according the unique attributes of the specific area.
■ LE Agency Surveys:
Surveys will be conducted for each LE Agency to determine any special needs of
the individual jurisdictions. These will initially be completed by upper management
and discussed with Chiefs and Sheriffs.
Other tasks to maintain an effective Task Force:
■ Continue to employ and maintain a Task Force Coordinator
• Serve as a central hub and liaison for communication about traffic safety projects,
activities, enforcements, and reporting mobilization statistics
■ Serve as a central hub and liaison for the media (including ride -along coordination)
■ Hold Task Force meetings at least quarterly if not monthly
• Serve as a central hub and liaison for the TF and the Chiefs and Sheriffs
■ Assist in coordination of law enforcement trainings (SFST training) and dissemination of
new training materials or law updates in the area of traffic safety issues, especially
regarding the of areas focus outlined in this project proposal.
■ Communicate and inform LE of State Conferences and Trainings.
• Serve as a central hub for community outreach in the areas of traffic safety:
❖ Provide informative literature and materials to groups, individuals, and community
events about traffic safety issues (Local businesses, Every 15 Minutes programs,
Hanford Expo, Spring into Safety and the B -F County Fair) especially regarding
the areas of focus outlined in this project proposal.
❖ Presentations about traffic safety projects and issues
