PURPOSE: To inform and seek the consent of the Commission to purchase a SMART Radar trailer. CONSIDERA TIONS: The traffic volume within the City is continuing to grow very rapidly. With an increase of vehicles we have also experienced an increase in speed related traffic crashes, and speed-related violations. The Police Department receives complaints daily concerning speeding violations all over the city. The most prevalent request received by the department is to utilize radar enforcement. The SMART Radar Unit can be utilized as both a traffic calming device that alerts people they are speeding and an information gathering device that can be used to more effectively assign resources. One of the best ways to gain driver safety and compliance to traffic violations is driver awareness. By using the SMART trailer it can be placed on any roadway unattended or attended where it will display the posted speed and vehicle speed. The trailer is a self-contained unit that houses an onboard computer and is powered by battery and solar energy. The unit is equipped with an alarm that will allow us to leave it running for extended periods of time. It can conduct traffic counts, speed counts, and complete traffic surveys for areas of concern. Both Public Works and the Police Department can benefit from this service through the data compiled. This information will assist us in future planning and the data collected will identify specific times and locations where we can more efficiently assign enforcement resources to ease problem areas. In jurisdictions that are currently using the SMART Radar there has been significant decreases in speed related crashes and traffic violations. They have been successful for community awareness by allowing anyone to monitor traffic in their neighborhoods, and enforcement by issuing warnings or citations to drivers that continually violate traffic regulations. FUNDING: Existing funds from Public Works Transportation Impact Fees currently reflects a balance of $528,410.00. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the purchase of the SMART RADAR Trailer from Kustom Signals for $15,055.00 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: Immediately upon approval by Commission. ATTACHMENTS: KUSTOM Signals, Inc.
