5. Problem Statement <br />Clearly identify the problem/need (Problem Statement) in your local community, which is the reason for requesting grant <br />funds. If applicable, provide recent and high-level statistical data that directly supports the problem/need in your local <br />community. PLEASE DO NOT COPY AND PASTE TABLES IN FIELD - EITHER TYPE INFORMATION IN FIELD OR <br />ATTACH DOCUMENT. <br />Impaired driving continues to pose a serious threat to roadway safety in the City of Pleasanton. Despite ongoing <br />enforcement efforts, individuals continue to operate vehicles under the influence of alcohol and drugs. <br />Pleasanton is intersected by major regional corridors, including Interstate 580 and Interstate 680, which generate <br />substantial commuter and regional traffic. These high-volume roadways, combined with evening and weekend activities, <br />increase the likelihood of impaired driving within the city. <br />In December 2025, a CHP grant-funded DUI checkpoint resulted in six DUI arrests and numerous citations for <br />suspended and unlicensed drivers. These results from a single operation demonstrate that impaired drivers continue to <br />travel on Pleasanton roadways and validate the ongoing need for high-visibility enforcement. <br />The department also conducts DUI saturation patrols throughout the year funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety <br />(OTS). While these patrols are effective in identifying impaired drivers, checkpoints provide an additional higher- <br />visibility deterrent and allow systematic driver screening in a controlled environment. <br />State and county data continue to show that impaired driving remains a leading factor in traffic collisions and injuries. <br />Continued grant funding is necessary to support a comprehensive plan that combines saturation patrols and DUI <br />checkpoints to reduce impaired driving and enhance public safety in Pleasanton. <br /> <br /> <br />Statistical Data/Report(s) <br />Statistical Data <br />Statistical Data (Reviewer Only) <br />Page 12 of 22 <br />Pleasanton Police Department <br />Pleasanton Police Department <br />Attachment 1 <br />Page 36 of 214
