APPENDIX A PAGE 1 OF 3 AGREEMENT FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE NORTH DAKOTA SECTION 157 OCCUPANT PROTECTION PLAN PROJECT NO. PHSP1570402 SP 01 Ph 03 SCOPE OF WORK The purpose of this contract is to provide funding to the Cass County Sheriff's Office for participation in the North Dakota occupant protection plan. Funding for this project is provided through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under the authority of 23 U.S.C. 157. The objective of this grant program is to increase seat belt use in North Dakota, for both adults and children, by supporting the implementation of an innovative, educational and enforcement period. The success of this project is built upon the strategy that education, along with high visibility and consistent enforcement, is an effective means to change driver behavior and positively impact occupant protection use. The Cass County SheriWs Office agrees to participate in the statewide planned and coordinated blitz activities taking place during the course of this contract. These blitz events will take place during September 2003, November 2003, May 2004, and September 2004. Public information and paid media will be conducted statewide prior to enforcement activities and coordinated at the state level. Local participation in these events may be requested. The Cass County SheriW s Office must agree to participate in the organized enforcement blitz activities with occupant protection violations as the primary traffic enforcement effort. Enforcement and education are the best methods for changing behavior. The Cass County Sheriff's Office must submit an activity report immediately following blitz activities. This activity report must be submitted to the traffic safety office prior to reimbursement. Late reports may result in a delay in processing or a reduction in payment. The reimbursement voucher must include all citation activity during the reportable time period. Mileage expenses may also be used for overtime wages. The statewide, observational survey will be conducted June 2004. Because this survey certifies the state's occupant use rate, all agencies must participate to their best ability during May Mobilization to ensure favorable results.
