GRANT AGREEMENT PT26166
Schedule A
1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.
The City of Orange is the seventh largest city in the county and 43rd in the state. The City of Orange was
founded in 1869 and incorporated in 1888. Orange is renowned for its historic district, Old Towne Orange.
This area is a hub for restaurants, boutiques, antique shops, and hosts the annual Orange International
Street Fair, celebrating the city's diverse cultural heritage. Orange has many homes built prior to 1920 in its
Old Town District. Walking through the district's delightful tree-lined streets, many visitors are captivated by
the architectural beauty and the sense of history that fills the air. Historical charm, rich heritage, cultural
attractions, unique dining experiences, antiques shopping, malls, and the Old Towne district are some of the
many things that attract visitors to this city.
With a population of approximately 140,000, it serves as an integral component of the county's
transportation infrastructure supporting five major freeways, a MetoLink railroad terminal and the 241/261
Eastern Transportation Corridor. The Orange Traffic Study of 2024 identified an average vehicle flow of
approximately 3,531,322 trips daily, which was a 2.4% increase from 2022. With the current expansion of
Chapman University and the increased economic environment, these numbers are expected to increase.
The City of Orange Police Department is committed to making Orange the safest city in the county. Public
safety and well-being is valued and a fundamental component of quality of life within the community, as
defined in the City of Orange Public Safety General Plan.
The Orange Police Department is the integral component of the public safety sector that provides for the
reduction of criminal activity, crime prevention and educational programs designed to prevent crime, as
outlined in Goal 7.0 of the General Plan. In addition to the general public safety for its community members,
specifically addressed is the provision for safe pedestrian and bicycle environments as described in Goal 9.0
of the plan. Our priority is to make the City of Orange a safer environment for its community members and
the motoring public.
Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most
recent calendar year data/stats).
In order to accomplish these goals, the Orange Police Department is committed to reducing traffic related
injuries and fatalities through an aggressive educational and enforcement campaign, targeting
impaired/unlicensed drivers, repeat DUI offenders and other traffic related violators. To highlight the
department's commitment to keeping our roadways safe, we made 537 DUI arrests in 2024. This is partly
due to our aggressive enforcement, targeting impaired driving, but also due to our self-funded full-time DUI
enforcement officer. In 2025, we are committed to sending 10 officers to SFST, 5 to ARIDE, and 2 officers to
DRE training. Public awareness and aggressive enforcement strategies continue to be the primary
component used to address this on-going concern and threat to the community.
The City of Orange had 14 fatal traffic crashes in 2022, and 9 in 2023. In 2024, we had 5 fatal traffic crashes
of which 4 were DUI related. These results would most likely be much larger given the increase in traffic flow
had it not been for our aggressive impaired driving enforcement efforts and increased activity by our certified
Drug Recognition Expert officers. We will continue to reduce the number of victims impacted by impaired
drivers and other traffic related offenses.
Additional resources helped maintain enforcement of primary crash related violations in locations of high
frequency as identified by our Multiple Crash Location data. Unsafe speed, right of way violations, DUI and
unsafe turning movements remain our leading primary crash factors resulting in injury.
Unsafe speed (22350 VC) was the most common PCF found in our 2024 crash data. Our agency
investigated a total of 1071 crashes in 2024 (injury and non-injury). Of those investigated crashes, 517 of
them were reported injury crashes with a total of 741 victims injured. Unsafe speed was found to be the
primary crash factor in 118 of the investigated injury crashes. Overall, unsafe speed was found to be the
primary crash factor in 231 of our total crashes, (injury and non-injury). The Orange Police Department
9/11/2025 2:23:24 PM Page 3 of 22
aggressively targeted speed violators during 2024 and issued 4,518 speed related traffic citations. Despite
these enforcement efforts, unsafe speed continues to be problematic in our community.
Given speed was the most common primary crash factor in 2024, and speeding vehicles are a common
community complaint throughout the city, utilizing a changeable message sign/radar trailer will allow us to
further our traffic safety mission. The radar trailer function will allow us to provide additional public
awareness to motorists and reduce unsafe driving speeds. The messaging component of the trailer will
enable us to provide public advisories to motorists, most notably at our monthly DUI/DL checkpoints to
increase efficiency of traffic flow and additional awareness.
Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).
A growing concern for our community is the development and expansion of Chapman University.
Attendance is anticipated to reach 10,000 students this year making safe pedestrian and bicycle travel a
concern in the area of the campus and downtown merchant area. They have aggressively expanded their
footprint to include many off-site satellite campuses located throughout the downtown area. Pedestrian and
bicycle violations are growing at a concerning rate while speed and right-of-way violations continue to rise as
the student population increases.
Chapman University hosts a wide variety of events in and around their campuses, most notably at the
Musco Center for the Arts. Additionally, the City of Orange opened a multi-level, free public parking structure
adjacent to Chapman University which holds a vehicle capacity in excess of 600 vehicles. The parking
structure serves to accommodate the continuously evolving downtown area. Old Towne Orange, once
known for antique and specialty shops, is now become a robust entertainment district featuring fine dining
restaurants, multiple bars and coffee houses. These prominent locations have significantly increased the
amount of vehicle and pedestrian traffic in the downtown area. This, in turn, has increased pedestrian and
bicycle traffic crashes in the area. The Orange Police Department will direct concentrated enforcement
efforts in the area while partnering with Chapman University to further student and faculty awareness on the
growing concern.
In addition to Chapman University and our downtown area, The Outlets of Orange is a large outdoor
shopping mall situated on the western edge of our city. In addition to the retail stores within the mall, there
are several restaurants and businesses licensed for the sale of alcohol. Traffic is impacted in this area daily,
as the mall is a popular shopping and entertainment experience for local residents and tourists visiting
nearby theme parks. Angel Stadium and the Honda Center are located within a quarter mile of the Orange
City Limit and within close proximity to the Outlets of Orange. These venues have created a considerable
increase for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Patrons park their vehicles in various areas around the
adjoining businesses and neighborhoods in order to avoid paying the parking fee at the stadium and arena.
During the event periods, there is heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic in and around the area on Katella
and Orangewood Avenue. The high volume of traffic has caused an increase in our traffic crashes, with
some resulting in injury due to pedestrian violations and unsafe crossings. Despite warning and enforcement
signs, this continues to be a concern and requires additional intentional enforcement efforts. The Orange
Police Department is committed to proactively working to create the safest possible driving experience for
our residents, visitors, and all who travel on our roadways.
