Explanation

Need: This legislation is needed to enter into an agreement with the Office of the Governor's Highway Safety Representative (OSGHSR), State of Ohio to participate in the Ohio Safe Commute (2006) program and to appropriate funds to cover the costs of this program. The OGHSR provides federal funds for activities that will have the greatest impact toward crash reduction, responsible driving behavior and associated economic loss reduction. This program will provide increased enforcement presence in designated areas to reduce speed and the number of crashes. It will also focus on quick clearance of incidents in the designated areas to keep the roadways open and available for travel. The agreement authorizes reimbursement for the overtime costs of sworn personnel working in the program.

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary to make these funds available for program activities at the earliest possible time.

FISCAL IMPACT:

All funds appropriated are reimbursable from the State of Ohio; therefore there will be no effect on the financial status of the General Fund.
