APPENDIX A PAGE 1 OF 3 AGREEMENT FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE NORTH DAKOTA HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN PROJECT NO. PHSP4020905 SP OS Ph 08 SCOPE OF WORK BACKGROUND This contract provides funds to the Cass County Sheriffs Office (hereafter referred to as Agency) to participate in the national Click It or Ticket (CIOT) high-visibility enforcement campaign to occur May 18-31, 2009. The CIOT enforcement campaign exists to increase occupant protection use nationally, for both adults and children, through heightened enforcement of occupant protection laws in each state. The campaign's success is built upon the strategy that education, along with highly-visible and consistent enforcement, is an effective means to change driver behavior and increase occupant protection use. SCOPE OF WORK Law enforcement agencies in North Dakota participating in the CIOT enforcement campaign are required to work overtime during this period to achieve high visibility within their jurisdictions to deter motorists from driving or riding in a motor vehicle without an occupant protection device (i.e., seat belt or child passenger safety seat). During the contract period, the Agency must: Conduct high-visibility enforcement within corridors and at times (including nighttime) where the occurrence of unbelted serious injury and fatal crashes is greatest. The Agency is encouraged to work with other law enforcement within the jurisdiction to conduct multi jurisdictional enforcement to maximize the visibility of law enforcement during the CIOT enforcement period. The Agency must issue citations -not warnings -for failure to use an occupant protection device to assure integrity of the CIOT message to the public. 2. Complete a highly publicized earned media campaign within the agency's jurisdiction to assure the public's awareness of the CIOT enforcement campaign to encourage the public's use of seat belts and child passenger safety seats.
