MEMORANDUM

RE: FFY 2023 Iowa Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) Grant Funds
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council consideration for the
approval of the FFY 2023 Iowa Department of Public Safety, Governor's Traffic Safety
Bureau Grant funds.
BACKGROUND:
Each state is required to have a highway safety program directed by guidelines of the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Iowa Governor's Traffic
Safety Bureau (GTSB) is a subdivision of the Iowa Department of Public Safety and
fulfills this requirement. The GTSB administers the State of Iowa's allocation of federal
highway safety funds. The mission of the GTSB is to identify traffic safety issues and,
through partnerships with city, county, state, and local organizations, develop and
implement strategies to reduce deaths and injuries on Iowa's roadways using federally -
funded grants to improve traffic safety in the State of Iowa.
Each year, the Dubuque Police Department participates with the Iowa Department of
Public Safety, Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) to obtain funds used to support
traffic enforcement. The department completed an application earlier this year, outlining
their intentions for the funds. Again this year, the Dubuque Police Department received
funding.
The one-year award is $16,950.00, with no match. The grant funding period is 10/01/22
— 9/30/23. The funds will be used to support traffic related overtime enforcement
($6,000), overtime related to impaired driving enforcement ($6,000), one (1) in -car video
camera system ($4,500) and one (1) preliminary breath test devices, also known as a
PBT ($450).
