General Characteristics The City of Elgin is the eighth largest city in Illinois located partly in Cook County,the largest county in the State,and in Kane County,the fifth largest county in the State.Elgin is located in the Fox Valley,35 miles west of Chicago.The city has 4 State Routes(Rt.31, Rt.25,Rt.20 and Rt.47), along with an interstate highway(1-90). The city also has a bike trail running north to south through the entire length of the city. The City of Elgin also is home to the Grand Victoria Riverboat casino which is a source of additional traffic entering and exiting the city as most of its patrons travel from outside Elgin,the 2005 admission was over 2.7 million. A large scale annual event which also adds to increased vehicle traffic is the Fox Valley Fox Trot, and the DNA/City of Elgin Bike Race. 2.History of Problem Solving The City of Elgin is a member of the Kane County Task Force on Drinking and Driving. The Task Force adopted a mission statement taking a total systems approach to the problem and develops any and all possible solutions that will lead to a reduction of death and injury caused by an intoxicated driver.The City of Elgin fully believes and truly backs this mission statement.The City of Elgin believes this mission can be accomplished through education, enforcement, and prevention. The City of Elgin was part of a grant given to Kane County,as a Safe Communities,in 2000. In this grant the city participated in saturation patrols with a high rate of success. The city accounted for 396 hours worked on the grant.The Elgin Police Department issued 995 citations, including 169 Driving Under the Influence citations and 110 Driving Under the Influence arrests.That is 45%of the total Driving Under the Influence arrests made for the grant and 40%of the citations issued. Speeding citations were 17% and seat belt/child restraint totaled 14%of the citations issued. The City of Elgin was given a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation in 2002 through 2004,and participated in the grant requirements to the fullest.However the Elgin Police Department feels continuing the fight against Driving Under the Influence would suffer greatly if funds would not be renewed through another grant. The Elgin Police Department was ranked fifth(5)in the State in Driving Under the Influence arrests in 2002, mainly due to the participation in the 2001 grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation. The Elgin Police Department received and is currently active in a LAP Grant for the year 05/06. The city has previously participated in Child Passenger Safety Month(February),Alcohol Awareness Month(April),Buckle Up America Week(May),3-D Month (December) Click It or Ticket, and Operation Safe Passage.

In the year 2005, the Elgin Police Department investigated 3,113 traffic crashes and, of those crashes, 81 were alcohol related. Many lives could be saved by changing public attitudes regarding drinking and driving.

This grant runs from October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007. Efforts will include DUI enforcements every Friday and Saturday nights from October 1, 2006, through September 30, 2007, for 15 hours per day (3 officers @ 5 hours each, each day) on an overtime basis. We will also conduct two Roadside Safety checks. The grant will reimburse the City for 1,560 hours of police overtime pay, as well as a portion of the officer's fringe benefits costs. 2006 IDOT Highway Safety Project Grant Agreement/DUI September 22, 2006 Page 2 COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED Illinois Department of Transportation 9 YJ� INANCIAL IMPACT The amount of the IDOT grant will total $85,792.
