Explanation

Need: An additional appropriation is needed for the Ohio Safe Commute (2008) program to fund the additional 2008 program to fund the additional 2008 program activities authorized and funded by the Office of the Governor's Highway Safety Representative (OGHSR). The ongoing agreement provides federal funds for activities that have the greatest impact toward crash reduction, responsible driving behavior and associated economic loss reduction. The program also focuses on quick clearance of incidents in designated areas and times to aid in keeping the roadways open and available for travel and to reduce possible additional incidents secondary to the original incidents. The funds will provide reimbursement for the overtime costs of sworn personnel working in the program.

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is necessary for the funds to be available for program activities that will begin April 14, 2008.

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