REPORT OF SELECT COMMITTEE
STATE OF WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION
100 S. Cherry Street, PO Box 40944
Olympia, Washington 98504-0944
January 12, 1993
Dear Legislator:
Welcome! As the 1993 legislative session gets underway, I want to take a moment to introduce our agency to you. The Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) is directed under RCW 43.59 to plan and supervise programs for the prevention of traffic collisions and to coordinate activities at the state and local level in the development of traffic safety programs.
The WTSC is funded primarily with federal highway safety funds, normally a little over $5 million a biennium in federal gas tax dollars returned to the state for traffic safety uses. We also receive match dollars from the state highway safety fund to qualify for the federal funds, normally about $360 thousand a biennium, and since 1989 we have received funding from the state Public Safety and Education Account (PSEA) to help support the statewide network of community DWI Task Forces. PSEA funding for the DWI Task Forces in the 1991-93 biennium was $900 thousand.
I have enclosed two documents that may help you understand the Traffic Safety Commission a little better.
The first is our Highway Safety Plan for 1993. Although this plan only addresses programs funded with federal section 402 dollars, and does not cover projects financed with federal incentive or state funds, it is helpful in understanding our processes and the type of projects we typically support. You might find the Data Summary and Problem Analysis section, pages 13 through 98, helpful in determining what the most serious traffic safety problems are in Washington State.
The second document enclosed is a copy of our FY 1992 Highway Safety Plan Annual Report. According to federal rules, this report is submitted annually to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and covers all our federally funded projects.
One of our most important missions is to provide policy makers with the data, studies and information needed to make good decisions. The WTSC legislative liaison, Steve Lind, can be reached at 753-6538. Steve is available to provide testimony at a hearing, research questions you may have about proposed traffic safety legislation, work with your staff on preparing legislation, or assist you in many other ways. Through our Traffic Records Data Center (TRDC), Steve can make some excellent resources available to you, including an extensive document library containing many traffic safety studies and research documents in addition to a powerful computer based query system that can access many different state traffic safety related data bases.
Our goal is to provide the best information available so that you can make good policy decisions. My commitment to you is that the data will be accurate and reliable, the studies and research will be scientific, and in all our dealings we will be prompt and nonpartisan.
Again, welcome aboard! We look forward to working with you during what promises to be an exciting and challenging session.
Sincerely,
CHARLES F. HAYES, Director
The Select Committee Report is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.
