Fatalities dropped to 1,043, the lowest number in 85 years. Although the past few years have been the safest, far too many people are being killed on our roadways. With that in mind, the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Highway Safety Performance Plan (HSPP) will continue with aggressive highway safety programs to keep the reduction in fatalities on a downward trend. The Illinois Department of Transportation’s (IDOT) main goals are to reduce fatalities and injuries on Illinois’ roadways. The FY 2010 HSPP will continue with more enforcement grants than ever before, both sustained and high-visibility, with local and state law enforcement agencies, paid media for mobilizations and motorcycle awareness, teen traffic safety outreach, new performance measures to guide our programs, an Occupant Protection Assessment, an impaired driving incentive program, training of judges with IDOT’s Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor’s and continued collaboration with Illinois’ highway safety partners. The passage of the federal highway bill Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) continues to give IDOT the ability to fund additional highway safety programs to help change the behavior of drivers on Illinois roadways. This FY 2010 Illinois Highway Safety Performance Plan is guided by the Division of Traffic Safety’s mission… As part of the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), the Division of Traffic Safety’s mission is to formulate, coordinate and deliver information, services and programs which will mobilize public and private resources to establish effective public policy and integrated programs to improve highway safety in Illinois. This plan represents the Illinois Department of Transportation’s annual initiatives designed to carry out its mission. 1 Key Accomplishments Data Source: FARS Figure 1 shows the motor vehicle fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles of travel since 1985. The fatality rate has decreased from 2.2 in 1985 to 0.99 in 2008. The 2008 fatality rate represented the lowest fatality rate since 2007. Illinois is below the national average of 1.27 per 100 million VMT. The main contributing factors to the reduction in the fatality rate continue to be effective impaired driving and safety belt campaigns. 2 Data Source: Annual Observational Survey Figure 2 shows occupant restraint usage rate for all front seat occupants (drivers and passengers) observed in Illinois since 1985. During the first 12 months after the safety belt law came into effect, the observed usage rate increased from 15.9 percent to 36.2 percent. Since that time, the usage rate has shown a gradual increase. After the implementation of the primary safety belt law in 2003, usage rates increased from 76.2 percent to an all-time high of 91.7 percent by June 2009. 3 Data Source: FARS Figure 3 shows the alcohol-related motor vehicle fatality rate since 2004. This rate is an imputed number due to the large number of fatal crashes for which driver BAC is unknown. Illinois’ alcohol-related fatal crash rate has dropped from 0.56 in 2004 to 0.46 in 2008 with the biggest decrease between years occurring in 2007 and 2008 when the rate dropped from 0.53 to 0.46. These rate decreases are mainly due to lower overall alcohol-related fatalities. 4 FUNDING AREAS On August 10, 2005, the President of the United States signed into law the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). SAFETEA-LU represents the largest surface transportation investment in our Nation’s history. Two landmark bills brought surface transportation into the 21st century, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1999 (ISETEA) and the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) shaped the highway program to meet the nation’s changing transportation needs. SAFETEA-LU builds on this firm foundation, supplying the funds and refining the programmatic framework for investments needed to maintain and develop our vital transportation infrastructure. A general description of each program and estimated funding levels for FY 2010 are as follows: Highway Safety Funds Base Program Section 402: SAFETEA-LU reauthorized the state and community highway safety formula grant program (Section 402 of Chapter 4 of Title 23) to support state highway safety programs designed to reduce traffic crashes and resulting deaths and injuries, and property damage. A state may use these grant funds only for highway safety purposes; at least 40 percent of these funds are to be used to address local traffic safety problems. The balance of these grant funds are awarded to other state agencies and for program administration. 5 Alcohol Fund Section 410: SAFETEA-LU amended the alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures incentive grant program (under Section 410 of Chapter 4 of Title 23) to encourage states to adopt and implement effective programs to reduce traffic safety problems resulting from individuals driving while under the influence of alcohol. Occupant Protection Funds Section 405: SAFETEA-LU amended Section 405 of Chapter 4 of Title 23 to encourage states to adopt and implement effective programs to reduce deaths and injuries from riding unrestrained or improperly restrained in motor vehicles. A state may only use these grant funds to implement and enforce occupant protection programs. Section 2011: SAFETEA-LU established an incentive grant program to make grants available to states that are enforcing a law requiring any child riding in a passenger vehicle who is too large to be secured in a child safety seat to be secured in a child restraint that meets the requirements prescribed under section 3 of Anton’s law (49 USC 30127 note; 116 Statute 2772). Safety Belt Performance Grant Section 406: Section 2005 of SAFETEA-LU established a new program of incentive grants (under Section 406 of Chapter 4 of Title 23) to encourage the enactment of laws requiring the use of safety belts in passenger motor vehicles. A state may use these grant funds for any safety purpose under this title for any project that corrects or improves a hazardous roadway location or feature or proactively addresses highway safety problems. However, at least $1 million of amounts received by states must be obligated for behavioral highway safety activities. Incentive Grant to Prohibit Racial Profiling Section 1906: SAFETEA-LU established a new program of an incentive grant program to encourage states to enact and enforce laws that prohibit the use of racial profiling in the enforcement of traffic laws on federal-aid highways, and to maintain and allow public inspections of statistics on motor vehicle stops. 6 Motorcyclist Safety Grant Section 2010: SAFETEA-LU established a new program of incentive grants to encourage states to adopt and implement effective programs to reduce the number of single and multi-vehicle crashes involving motorcyclists. A state may use these grant funds only for motorcyclist safety training and motorcycle awareness programs, including improvement of training curriculum, delivery of training, recruitment or retention of motorcyclist safety instructors, and public awareness and outreach programs. Traffic Safety Information System Improvement Grant Section 408: SAFETEA-LU established a new program of incentive grants to encourage states to adopt and implement effective programs to improve the timeliness, accuracy, completeness, uniformity, integration and accessibility of state data that is needed to identify priorities for national, state and local highway and traffic safety programs; to evaluate the effectiveness of efforts to make such improvements; to link these state data systems, including traffic records, with other data systems within the state and to improve the compatibility of the state data system with national data systems and data systems of other states to enhance the ability to observe and analyze national trends in crash occurrences, rates, outcomes and circumstances. Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System (CODES) NHTSA awarded IDOT $281,000 to develop a CODES program in Illinois. This project is based on collaboration between IDOT and the Illinois Department of Public Health. Under this grant, IDOT links existing traffic crash records with health care data sources from Emergency Medical Services, trauma registry, hospital discharges and vital records (death certificates).

These existing databases are used for policy development and for the allocation of public funds to effective and cost-effective projects and programs. A ―traffic safety problem‖ is an identifiable subgroup of drivers, pedestrians, vehicles or roadways that is statistically higher in collision experience than normal expectations. Problem identification through over-representation studies involves the relationships between collisions and the population, licensed drivers, registered vehicles and vehicle miles of travel, as well as characteristics of specific subgroups that may contribute to collisions. For the FY 2010 Highway Safety Performance Plan, the process used to identify traffic safety problems began initially by evaluating Illinois’ experience in each of the existing Illinois highway safety priority areas, safety belt and impaired driving. These two areas have been determined by NHTSA to be most effective in reducing motor vehicle-related injuries and deaths. Consideration for other potential traffic safety problem areas came from analyzing survey data and other anecdotal information and suggestions received from the public during the public hearing sessions around the state. During the last seven years, Illinois used the 23-County Model to enhance the existing problem identification process. Under this model, Illinois selected the top 23 counties where 85 percent of the population resided (see Illinois map on page 11). Based on the 2006 FARS data, 70 percent of fatalities and 60 percent of alcohol-related fatalities occurred in these 23 counties. The traffic safety problem areas identified and currently being addressed are: occupant protection, impaired driving, youthful drivers, pedestrian safety, bicycle safety, traffic records and emergency medical services. The main data sources that have been used in the problem identification process are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Crash data (2004-2008) FARS data (2004-2008) VMT data (2004-2008) Census data (2000-2007 estimates) Trauma Registry data (2003-2005) Observational safety belt and child safety seat surveys (1985-2009) Telephone and Driver Facility surveys (2002-2008) The main independent variables that we have used in this process are: demographics (e.g., age, gender, region and county), crash type (e.g., fatalities, severe injuries), whether or not safety equipment was used, and other behavioral variables that are only available in the telephone surveys. 9 Problem Identification Problem identification involves the study of relationships between collisions, the population, licensed drivers, registered vehicles and vehicle miles, as well as characteristics of specific subgroups that may contribute to collisions. Addendum 2 contains motor vehicle-related fatalities and injuries, controlling for selected crash types, demographics and other related factors. The first attachment contains information on the overall fatalities and severe (―A‖) injuries across 102 counties including the 23 counties. The second attachment is a detailed analysis of motor vehicle fatalities and injuries controlling for selected characteristics, such as crash type and demographic characteristics using last five recent crash reports (2004-2008). Process for Developing Goals The goals identified in this report were determined using several quantitative data (e.g., crash data, VMT, population). The goals were established for the various program priority areas (e.g., alcohol, occupant protection, pedestrian and motorcycle). The specific thresholds and target dates were set based on past trends (five years for the fatality-related goals and five years for the injury-related goals). The selected overall goals are listed by appropriate measures, targets, data source used and strategies on how to achieve these goals by selected target dates. Performance measures of selected goals include rate, ratio and percent. The main exposure data item that was used in this process is VMT. Illinois’ Highway System Illinois has the third largest roadway network overall in the nation with approximately 140,000 miles of highways, streets and roads. This network ranges from heavily traveled urban streets and expressways to very lightly used rural roads and carries nearly 300 million vehicle miles traveled in a typical 24-hour period. State, county, township and municipal governments own and operate this highway, road and street system. Illinois is crossed by three of the nation’s five transcontinental routes. Illinois has a 2,169-mile interstate highway network. The state highway system is comprised of nearly 17,000 miles of roads, including 282 miles of toll roads. Less than 12 percent of all mileage on Illinois’ highway, street and road network occurs on the state highway system, although it carries almost 65 percent of all vehicle travel miles in Illinois. The locally owned and operated road and highway system extends more than 123,000 miles and makes up 88 percent of Illinois’ highway, street and road network. Rural highways and roads account for more than 75 percent of Illinois’ highway, street and road system, although this system handles less than 30 percent of Illinois’ vehicle travel miles. 10 23 County Breakdown 11 Highway Safety Plan Process Highway Safety Plan Committee The HSP Committee is made up of members representing key areas and functions within DTS. The Chairman of the HSP Committee is the Director of Traffic Safety. Other committee representatives include: Deputy Director, Assistant to the Deputy Director, Bureau Chief of Safety Programs and Administrative Services, LEL Coordinator, Acting Bureau Chief of Safety Data and Data Services, Special Projects Coordinator, Deputy Director of Small Business Services, a representative from the Office of the Secretary and the Special Studies and System Manager. In May, June and July 2009, the HSP Committee convened to review 348 local project and 25 state agency project requests. When reviewing the project requests, the committee members followed specific guidelines: 1. Will this project request help move Illinois’ numbers, meaning decrease injuries and fatalities and increasing safety belt and child passenger usage rates? 2. Does this project request fit into NHTSA’s emphasis areas? 3. Will this project request help IDOT/DTS accomplish their program goals? 4. Does this project request fall with IDOT/DTS’s 23 county breakdown for Problem ID? 5. If the project request is a renewal, how was their performance last year? The HSP committee members were also supplied information on the project requests, updated program goals, revamped project specifications, a new five-year study of crash data within counties making up 85 percent of Illinois’ population other vehicle fatality and crash data from various sources, annual statewide safety belt survey results, projects anecdotal data and recommendations from DTS staff. During this process, the HSP Committee members were assigned project requests to review. A Project Request Review Form was completed for each project request. This form provides the required information the committee feels is critical for inclusion in the Highway Safety Program. Besides asking for basic information, i.e., agency name, project title, previous and requested funding levels, it also provides more specific information, i.e., project goal, contribution to DTS’s performance goals, project request reviewer, project coordinator concurrence, committee member recommendation and ineligible costs. Each committee member presents the appropriate information to the HSP Committee. The HSP Committee reviewed 348 local project and 25 state agency project requests. Using the goals as a strict guideline, the committee selected only those state and local agency projects that will allow IDOT to achieve its program goals both short-term and long-term. 12 The HSP committee is assisted in its efforts by a subcommittee, the Highway Safety Advisory Committee on Grants. This subcommittee is chaired by the Bureau Chief of Safety Programs and Administrative Services and is composed of staff needed to accomplish the tasks assigned by the HSP Committee. This subcommittee meets on a monthly basis and develops policies and procedures for recommendation to the HSP Committee as follows: 1. Reviews and updates local project specifications. 2. Recommends changes in grant agreement language. 3. Assists in compiling and analyzing information and data required by the HSP to make a knowledgeable review of grant applications. 4. Develops new program ideas for program initiatives. 5. Assists in updating the Highway Safety Planning and Grants Policies and Procedures Manual. 6. Revise DTS performance goals. 7. Other duties as assigned by the HSP Committee or the Director. Local project specifications were revised to include new objectives and performancedirected measures to keep the projects focused on reducing injuries and fatalities on Illinois roadways. DTS’s Evaluation Unit provided updated objectives and performance driven measures for the local project specifications. DTS grantees continue to be encouraged to get the most out of every media opportunity available and also focus enforcement squarely behind each holiday mobilization in Illinois. The FY 2010 HSPP, which is detailed in the remainder of this document, was then formulated detailing funding levels, goals and, most importantly, initiatives that IDOT will fund and undertake to achieve success. Evaluation Unit DTS’s Evaluation Unit focuses on evaluation and monitoring of various highway safety projects and programs in Illinois. The Evaluation Unit conducts research and analyses that enhance the safety and efficiency of transportation by understanding the human factors that are important to transportation in Illinois. The main functions of the Evaluation Unit in relation to the highway safety plan include the following: Conduct problem identification studies and provide an in-depth analysis of motor vehicle-related fatalities and injuries in Illinois using several crash-related databases (Crash data, FARS, Trauma Registry, hospital data, state and local police data). Develop measurable long-term and short-term goals and objectives for the Highway Safety Program in Illinois using historical crash-related databases. Evaluate highway safety programs and projects using crash and citation data provided by local and state police departments. 13 Evaluate selected statewide occupant protection and alcohol campaigns, such as ―Click It Ticket,‖ and ―You Drink & Drive. You Lose.‖ This involves evaluating effects of public policy and intervention programs that promotes safe driving using many data sources including public opinions on traffic safety-related issues through statewide telephone surveys. Results of the annual evaluation reports are shared with the HSP committee members in reviewing and selecting project requests for inclusion into the highway safety plan. Task Forces The Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Task Force - consisting of advocacy groups, various state agencies, design engineers and special interest organizations met twice, both times in Chicago. The group reported on current conditions and issues of concern to the respective organizations in Illinois, discussed those issues, endorsed an Existing Conditions Report and has reviewed a Best Practices Report. It is anticipated that this group will continue in an advisory role with periodic meetings as necessary. The Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council held meetings in Springfield, Illinois on November 20, 2008 and April 21, 2009. The meeting included representatives from rider groups, advocacy groups, Illinois State Police, Office of the Secretary of State and a motorcycle trainer from the University of Illinois at Champaign. The group discussed current training programs; the increase in motorcycle-related fatalities and injuries and motorcycle licensing. The Council will plan to meet twice during FY 2010. 14 HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN SCHEDULE Date Item Comment January – April Problem Identification Project Spec Revisions Goal Development Focus Groups FY 2010 Project Request due.

In the FY 2010 HSPP, Illinois set goals on the 11 core outcome and behavior measures based on the data sources required by NHTSA and GHSA. Also, with each performance goal is a performance measure that will enable Illinois to track the progress of each goal. Listed below are the overall outcome goals for our highway safety program. The specific program goals (i.e. impaired driving, occupant protection, etc.) can be found in the remainder of this document Goal: To reduce the statewide traffic fatalities from the 2004 level of 1,355 to 883 by December 31, 2011. 17 Goal: To reduce the statewide serious injuries in traffic crashes from the 2004 level of 18,798 to 10,361 by December 31, 2011. Goal: To reduce the statewide traffic fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles of travel (VMT) from the 2004 level of 1.24 to 0.86 by December 31, 2011. 18 Goal: To reduce the rural traffic fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles of travel (VMT) from the 2004 level of 1.87 to 1.46 by December 31, 2011. Goal: To reduce the urban traffic fatality rate per 100 million vehicle miles of travel (VMT) from the 2004 level of 0.99 to 0.68 by December 31, 2011. 19 Fiscal Year 2010 Planning Document Prefix Task Number Fund Type Task Title Programmed Amount PA 01-01 402 P & A (NHTSA) $750,000 OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP OP 02-01 02-05 02-06 02-07 02-08 02-09 02-10 02-11 02-14 02-15 402 402 402 402 402 State 402 402 402 402 Sports Marketing Coord.

Total alcohol-related crash fatalities decreased from 466 in 2006 to 451 in 2007. 50,000 people of all ages are arrested each year in Illinois for Driving Under the Influence (DUI). Additionally, each year approximately 4,600 drivers under the age of 21 are arrested for DUI and more than 2,600 underage drivers violate the zero tolerance of alcohol law. The ratio of A-injuries and fatalities to population are over-represented by two groups: males aged 16 to 20 and females aged 16 to 20. Young drivers are inexperienced and tend to get into more car crashes than the rest of the population.

In FY 2010, DTS will continue to explore for new and innovative ways, to conquer the impaired driving problem. Examples of this include DUI courts, dedicated DUI prosecutors, greater refinement of DUI enforcement and capitalizing on the deterrent effect of Illinois’ new ignition interlock law that took effect on January 1, 2009. As usual, DTS will follow the guidelines as established in the Section 410 application submitted on July 31, 2009. Impaired Driving Coordinator DTS will continue to fund an Impaired Driving Program Coordinator who will provide technical expertise as a specialist for IDOT in the administration of impaired driving programs. The Impaired Driving Program Coordinator’s chief goal is the reduction of alcohol-related driving fatalities and injuries in Illinois. The Impaired Driving Program Coordinator will concentrate on developing a comprehensive impaired driving program bringing together enforcement, public relations, education and training. Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor The Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor (TSRP) program will continue to provide training and assistance to the state’s prosecutors, law enforcement officers and their traffic safety partners, particularly focusing on major traffic-related offenses, such as driving under the influence and DUI-related vehicular homicide. The TSRP program added a second attorney to the program in FY 2009. This second attorney is located in Springfield to better serve downstate prosecutors and traffic safety partners. In FY 2010, the TSRP’s will continue to be involved in planning, implementing or presenting at more than a dozen DUI-related seminars and conferences with both DTS and the University of Illinois-Springfield Institute for Legal, Legislative & Policy Studies (UISILLAPS). Specifically, the TSRP may conduct the following trainings in FY 2010: Advanced DUI- Beyond SFSTs Cops in Court: Courtroom Testimony Preparation in DUI Cases DUI Practices and Procedure Intoximeter Breath Test Instrument Training for Prosecutors Nuts & Bolts: Criminal Crash Investigation Basics Lethal Weapon: Prosecuting DUI Homicide Lethal Weapon: Prosecuting DUI Vehicular Homicide Practical DUI: Nuts and Bolts Practical DUI: Legal Considerations and Pre-Trial Preparation Drugged Driving Investigations & Prosecutions Practical DUI Legal Consideration and Pre-Trial Preparation 24 Impaired Driving Crackdowns As in the past several years, Illinois will continue its commitment to enforcement crackdowns (mobilizations) showcasing high-visibility, impaired driving enforcement taking place around select holiday times. A major part of this effort includes encouraging genuine participation by more law enforcement agencies; training additional officers when necessary. In addition, in FY 2010, crackdown efforts will include combining enforcement on safety belts from 9pm to 6am during higher back patrols with impaired driving enforcement. Also new in FY 2010 is an impaired driving enforcement productivity incentive program encouraging more law enforcement agency participation during crackdowns. In response to the Illinois Alcohol Assessment conducted in 2005, the Illinois Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors are overseeing the SFST training in Illinois helping to ensure law enforcement officers are properly trained and re-trained in the latest SFST techniques. Judicial DTS will continue to fund the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts (AOIC) to conduct an annual two-day seminar to address the legal, scientific and clinical issues involved in DUI cases. The seminar will build upon the previous annual DUI seminars for judges, which have addressed the characteristics of and challenges posed by the persistent drunk driver, highest-risk offenders and youthful offenders by expanding and updating the information available to judges on the clinical research on DUI offenders, the links between substance abuse and criminal behavior such as driving under the influence and the resulting risks posed to public safety. The seminar will address a broad range of issues related to DUI cases, with particular emphasis on reducing recidivism by giving judges a better understanding of the DUI offender and available sentencing alternatives. Additionally, judges are being included in other DTS-sponsored DUI projects. DTS will continue to fund the University of Illinois at Springfield, Institute for Legal Studies project training judges, states attorneys and prosecutors on DUI-related issues and laws. Productivity Incentive Program DTS’s annual highway safety program is capable of funding just a portion of the impaired driving enforcement needed on Illinois roads. The program relies heavily on voluntary (non-grant-funded) support from local and state law enforcement agencies. Needless to say, the more voluntary participation by non-grant-funded agencies, the more overall impaired driving enforcement and the greater its deterrent effect throughout Illinois. Beginning with the Labor Day 2009 campaign and running through FY 2010, DTS will offer Illinois law enforcement agencies the chance to win enforcement equipment awards for participating in impaired driving crackdowns. Public Information and Education DTS will continue to purchase items to support the impaired driving message in Illinois. Items will be distributed at DTS’s state fair tent, schools, presentations, minor league baseball parks and other traffic safety events during the year. 25 Impaired Driving Program Strategies Continue to fund two Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors who will conduct training for prosecutors, law enforcement and other traffic safety partners throughout the state. Conduct High-Visibility Enforcement Campaigns at numerous times throughout the fiscal year. Continue to identify and fund projects/initiatives that combat underage drinking.

Motorcycle registrations, however, accounted for less than 4 percent of all motor vehicle registered. In 2008, there were 135 motorcyclists killed in 125 motor vehicle crashes. The 135 motorcycle fatalities in 2008 represent a 31 percent increase compared to the 103 motorcyclist killed in 1999. Other significant factors include: 78 percent of the 123 motorcycle operators killed in 2008 were licensed to operate a motorcycle. Motorcycle riders accounted for almost 13 percent of all persons killed on Illinois roadways in 2008. In 2008, 40 percent of motorcyclists killed were age 45 or older. In 2008, 75 percent of those operators who died were not wearing a helmet. Males age 21-34 and 35-64 have the highest percentage of motorcycle A-injuries and fatalities. Both males and females tend to have a low percent helmet use since there is no helmet law in Illinois. (Refer to Table 3) Table 3: Percent and Frequency Distributions of Motorcycle-Related AInjuries and Fatalities and Helmet Use Gender Age Group Total AInjuries & Fatalities (2004-2008) Motorcycle A-Injuries & Fatalities Helmeted Motorcycle AInjuries & Fatalities % Helmeted Motorcycle AInjuries & Fatalities % Motorcycle A-Injuries & Fatalities Male 0 to 8 9 to 15 16 to 20 21 to 34 35 to 64 65+ 1,483 2,151 7,078 15,046 19,082 3,764 3 45 282 1,709 2,802 165 1 11 77 353 484 55 33.3% 24.4% 27.3% 20.7% 17.3% 33.3% 0.2% 2.1% 4.0% 11.4% 14.7% 4.4% Female 0 to 8 9 to 15 16 to 20 21 to 34 35 to 64 1,179 1,936 6,497 10,705 14,919 6 16 75 258 581 1 5 13 32 126 16.7% 31.3% 17.3% 12.4% 21.7% 0.5% 0.8% 1.2% 2.4% 3.9% 3,907 15 3 20.0% 0.4% State of Illinois Total 65+ 87,747 5,957 1,161 19.5% 6.8% A-Injury & Fatality Rate 16.20 33 Program Goals Goal: To reduce the statewide motorcycle fatalities from the 2004 level of 157 to 123 by December 31, 2011. Goal: To reduce the number of unhelmeted motorcycle fatalities from the 2004 level of 119 to 90 by December 31, 2011. 34 Motorcycle Safety Program Overview In response to the increasing motorcycle-related injuries and fatalities, Illinois continues to work on expanding the number of training courses, provide public information and education materials and develop a paid media campaign for motorist to start seeing motorcyclist on the roadways. The DTS will continue both earned and paid media activities during the motorcycle driving season, from May 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010. One of the recommendations from Illinois’ Motorcycle Safety Program Assessment was to utilize federal funds wherever possible to address other motorcycle safety issues (impaired driving, aggressive driving, conspicuity, motorist awareness, etc.). DTS will continue to promote the motorcycle safety message, Start Seeing Motorcyclists, during motorcycle awareness month in May. Messages will specifically stay focused on driver’s awareness of motorcyclists and riding while impaired on our roadways. DTS will again purchase radio and television spots for the Start Seeing Motorcyclists message. DTS will guide both the earned and paid media efforts. DTS will continue to promote the motorcycle safety messages, Start Seeing Motorcyclists, during motorcycle awareness month in May and through the summer and early fall. DTS will continue to develop brochures, banners and billboard messaging focusing on driver’s awareness of motorcyclists on our roadways. DTS is proposing to purchase Start Seeing Motorcycles banners, bumper stickers and give-aways. In FY 2008 DTS offered a new motorcycle safety and awareness grant for local agencies. This program will continue in FY 2010 to enlist local agencies and organizations to improve motorcycle safety and motorist’s awareness through the following activities: identification and study of motorcycle high-accident locations; identification of factors impacting motorcycle safety; creation and distribution of education and awareness materials; motorcycle-related research and pilot programs; and selective enforcement of motorcycle-related laws and equipment requirements. DTS will continue with the Motorcycle Safety Advisory Council in FY 2010. The Council will continue to bring together representatives from the different motorcycle groups, state agencies, local police departments and local organizations to discuss the motorcycle environment in Illinois. The focus of the council will be the implementation of the motorcycle assessment recommendations, motorcycle safety strategic plan and to review crash data to determine the best use of federal highway safety funds. Motorcycle Survey The motorcycle helmet usage survey was conducted in June 2009. A total of 1,186 motorcycle riders were observed. Of those, 32.1 percent were observed wearing helmets. Based on road type, motorcycle helmet use was the highest on Interstate highways at 36.3 percent. Helmet use on U.S./Illinois highways was at 30.1 percent, while helmet use on residential roads was at 30.0 percent. The helmet usage rate was 45.7 percent on the weekdays and 29.4 percent on weekends. 35 Motorcycle Safety Program Strategies Continue to implement recommendations from the Motorcycle Safety Program Assessment. Increase training opportunities for beginning motorcycle riders in Illinois through DTS’s Cycle Rider Training Program. Continue to implement a public information and education campaign for motorcycle awareness. Conduct a paid media campaign for the motorcycle riding season.

Goal: To reduce the number of unrestrained passenger vehicle occupant fatalities from 468 in 2004 to 266 by December 31, 2011. 39 Occupant Protection Program Overview The Illinois Department of Transportation’s Division of Traffic Safety (DTS) is determined to reduce the number of unrestrained passenger vehicle fatalities from 468 in 2004 to 266 by December 31, 2011. In FY 2009, the Occupant Protection Program contributed significantly to the achievement of these statewide goals by raising safety belt compliance to 91.7 percent throughout Illinois. In FY 2010, in addition to our existing law enforcement initiatives, DTS will direct resources to increase law enforcement in rural areas, nighttime safety belt enforcement zones, teen traffic safety outreach, procedures to increase and retain certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians, implementation of Boost Illinois to increase child booster seat usage and a determination to increase safety belt compliance within the city of Chicago. Click It or Ticket To continue the downward fatality trend and increase the upward momentum of safety belt compliance, DTS plans to continue support of occupant protection mobilizations that correspond with national safety belt campaigns. During DTS’s May Click It or Ticket (CIOT) mobilization, DTS increased the number of participating rural agencies and strategized with national and local leaders within the city of Chicago to increase law enforcement buy-in and community compliance; during the November CIOT mobilization, DTS will increase the law enforcement grantee-base with increased emphasis on saving teen lives; and in September, DTS will institute a statewide Occupant Protection for Children mobilization. These mobilizations will be complimented with intensive paid and earned media campaigns that strategically market increased safety belt and child safety seat usage to, at minimum, 85 percent of the Illinois population. For detailed information on planned enforcement efforts during the CIOT mobilization, please refer to the police traffic services section. During CIOT, DTS will compliment increased law enforcement and strategic paid media with earned outreach. DTS plans to support local law enforcement initiatives with CIOT communications kits again this year. The CIOT communications kit includes media advisories and press releases to announce at minimum 25 percent of local law enforcement activities will be held during nighttime hours. The communications kit also includes small CIOT signs to be posted at fast food, bank and pharmacy drive-thru lanes; quick fact notepads with important details to enforce the primary safety belt, graduated driver licensing and child occupant protection laws; bi-lingual posters for use at auto parts stores, athletic facilities, gas stations and scrap metal processing plants; evaluation forms and a cd-rom of opinion editorials, website materials and e-mail templates. To further support the integration of enforcement, paid media and outreach, DTS will institute an e-newsletter to keep law enforcement and community gatekeepers up-to-date on occupant protection mobilizations. Based on the May 2009 process, impact and outcome evaluation of the CIOT campaign, it is strikingly apparent that more resources must go into increasing safety belt compliance within the city of Chicago. Illinois’ overall safety belt usage rate increased statewide to 91.7 percent after the May 2009 Click It or Ticket campaign. The downstate region saw the most gains in pick-up truck safety belt usage rates going from 81.5 percent in 2008 to 87.2 percent in 2009. Pick-up truck safety belt usages rates stayed the same in Chicago, but declined in the Cook and Collar counties. Overall pickup truck occupant safety belt usage rose to 85.1 percent up from 83.5 percent. Overall passenger car safety belt usage rose to 92.3 percent up from 91.6 percent. 40 The biggest safety belt usage jump in one area was downstate. Downstate safety belt usage went up from 89.9 percent in 2008 to 93.0 percent in 2009, a 3.1 percent jump. The significantly increased participation of local law enforcement agencies played a large part in that increase. The biggest challenge to raising safety belt usage statewide is the city of Chicago and Cook County. More funding and Chicago-focused intervention procedures must go into increasing safety belt usage in Chicago and the surrounding cities in Cook County. Illinois must greatly increase both educational outreach and high-visibility law enforcement within the city of Chicago and Cook County. To see a massive jump in the statewide safety belt compliance rate, determined steps will be taken to engage the Chicago Police Department in stepped-up enforcement through buy-in all the way from the local level to the highest administrator. Click It or Ticket toolkits will be utilized throughout Cook County to replicate the 2.2 percent jump in safety belt compliance we saw from 2007 to 2008.
