NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the authority provided to WTSC in RCW 43.59 and RCW 39.34, terms, conditions, covenants, and performance contained herein, or attached and incorporated and made a part hereof, the parties mutually agree as follows: 1. PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT: The purpose of this Agreement is to provide funding, provided by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and allowed under the Assistance Listings Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) numbers 20.600 and 20.616 for traffic safety grant project 2026-HVE-5731-Region 9 HVE, specifically to provide funding for the law enforcement agencies in WTSC Region 9 to conduct straight time or overtime enforcement activities (traffic safety emphasis patrols) as outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW), in support of Target Zero priorities. The Target Zero Manager (TZM) and/or the Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) shall coordinate the SOW with the SUB -RECIPIENT with the goal of reducing traffic crashes. WTSC grant 2026-HVE-5731-Region 9 HVE was awarded to the WTSC Region 9 to support collaborative efforts to conduct HVE activities. By signing this agreement, the SUB -RECIPIENT can seek reimbursement for straight time or overtime for approved law enforcement activity expenses incurred as a participant in the region's HVE grant. 2. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE The period of performance of this Agreement shall commence upon the date of execution by both parties, but not earlier than October 1, 2025, and remain in effect until September 30, 2026 unless terminated sooner, as provided herein. 3. SCOPE OF WORK 3.1.1 Problem ID and/or Opportunity In 2023, Washington State experienced the deadliest year on its roads since 1990. The trajectory of this rise in fatalities reflects a broader trend of increasing impairment -related crashes, speeding, and compounding issues in law enforcement, medical, and judicial systems. This uptick in fatal crashes is deeply intertwined with impaired driving, law enforcement challenges, and societal impacts. Page 1 of 20 Docusign Envelope ID: C36AA2FB-635C-4C1A-9CCE-AA3BE2513F99 8 WEMS A Decade of Increasing Traffic Fatalities The rise in fatalities has been both sharp and persistent: • 2015 saw a drastic 19.3% increase in traffic fatalities, the largest single -year jump since data collection began in 1968. • Following this spike, fatalities stabilized between 2015 and 2019. • In 2020, despite pandemic -related reductions in traffic volume, fatalities climbed 6.7%, from 538 to 574. • The situation worsened in 2021-2023, when fatalities surged by 20.2%, from 674 in 2021 to 810 in 2023, the highest number since 1990. This five-year increase represents the most rapid rise in traffic fatalities recorded in Washington State's history. • Pedestrian fatalities were a record -high of 157 in 2023 and pedestrian serious injuries reached 472, also a record high for the state. This project will fund locally coordinated enforcement mobilizations to address impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt safety, speeding, and motorcycle safety. Funding and events will be organized by local Target Zero Managers (TZMs) & the statewide Law Enforcement Liaison networks and their local Target Zero Task Force. These patrols will also be coordinated with the Washington State Patrol (WSP). Target Zero Managers will establish or strengthen relationships with key WSP district personnel to improve interagency coordination. 3.1.2 Project Purpose and Strategies This project will fund High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP) patrols to prevent impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt use, speeding, and motorcycle safety. High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP) patrols are designed to create deterrence by increasing the expectation of a citation/fine/arrest. Officers may also remove high risk (impaired) drivers when encountered. So together, this countermeasure works by preventing dangerous driving behaviors and stopping those who still decide to engage in those behaviors. Funding and events will be organized by local TZMs, LELs, and their local Target Zero Task Force. Task forces will use local data and professional judgement to determine enforcement priorities for their jurisdictions and will schedule and plan enforcement and outreach activities. Regional participation in the following National Campaigns is mandatory: • Impaired driving enforcement during the Holiday DUI campaign (December 2025). • Distracted driving enforcement during the Distracted Driving campaign (April 2026) • Seat belt enforcement during the Click It or Ticket campaign (May 2026). • Impaired driving enforcement during the Summer DUI campaign (August 2026). These patrols will also be coordinated with the Washington State Patrol (WSP). Target Zero Managers will establish or strengthen relationships with key WSP district personnel to improve interagency coordination with the WSP. 3.1.3 Requirements for National Mobilizations and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP) 3.1.3.1. HVE events will be data informed; based on crash data, anecdotal evidence, and the professional judgement of task force members. WTSC strongly believes in the expertise of local officers to understand Page 2 of 20 Docusign Envelope ID: C36AA2FB-635C-4C1A-9CCE-AA3BE2513F99 1j1 WEMS the highest priority areas in their communities to focus their efforts. 3.1.3.2. The SUB -RECIPIENT will ensure that all officers participating in these patrols are BAC certified and have received and passed the SFST refresher training. 3.1.3.3. SUB -RECIPIENT will ensure all officers participating in Impaired Driving patrols have also received Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training. 3.1.3.4. SUB -RECIPIENT shall ensure all participating personnel will use the WEMS system provided by the WTSC to record all activities in digital activity logs conducted by their commissioned officers pursuant to the HVE events. Participating officers will fill out all applicable fields of the digital activity log and use the comments field to provide details on irregularities, challenges or other details that would help explain what was encountered during their shift. SUB- RECIPIENT will also ensure all supervisors and fiscal staff have the ability to review and edit those activity logs. 3.1.4 Project Intent and Best Practice 3.1.4.1. SUB -RECIPIENT is encouraged to help their Region Task Force fulfill the requirement to participate in the four mandatory National Campaigns. (Holiday DUI campaign in December 2025, Distracted Driving campaign in April 2026, Click It or Ticket campaign in May 2026, and Summer DUI campaign in August 2026). NOTE: Agencies must participate in speed or impaired driving enforcement under this agreement to be eligible to receive funding under the WASPC equipment grant. 3.1.4.2. SUB -RECIPIENT is strongly encouraged to participate in their task force to plan and execute enforcement events. 3.1.4.3. Regional task force will be submitting quarterly progress reports and SUB -RECIPIENT is encouraged to participate to the fullest extent possible. Quarterly progress reports are due January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15. 3.1.4.4. WTSC encourages participating officers to prioritize violations that directly contribute to the injury and death of road users, such as impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving, non -restraint, etc. 3.1.4.5. SUB -RECIPIENT should promote patrol events through all earned, owned and, if funded, paid media that is available so that the public is made aware of the event before, during, and after the enforcement takes place. It is best practice to translate messages as needed and invite local media involvement in the effort to reach communities in which HVE will occur. 3.1.4.6. SUB -RECIPIENT should strive to actively enforce traffic safety laws focused on collision causing behaviors in priority areas throughout the year outside of HVE events. 3.1.4.7. When participating in motorcycle patrols SUB -RECIPIENT should focus on the illegal and unsafe Page 3 of 20 Docusign Envelope ID: C36AA2FB-635C-4C1A-9CCE-AA3BE2513F99 1j1 WEMS driving actions of all motor vehicles interacting with motorcycles. This includes speeding, failure to yield to a motorcycle, following too closely to a motorcycle, distracted driving, etc. 3.1.4.8. When participating in motorcycle patrols SUB -RECIPIENT should ensure that enforcement will focus on the illegal and unsafe driving actions of motorcycles that are known to cause serious and fatal crashes. This includes impaired driving, speeding, and following too closely. 3.1.4.9. Performance will be monitored by the regional TZM, LEL, and Task Force, as well as WTSC. WTSC reserves the right to designate specific officers as ineligible for cost reimbursement. This will occur if an officer is determined to not have not met the purpose/intent of this grant in multiple emphasis patrols. 3.1.4.10. Funds can be used to support the mentoring of officers in traffic enforcement. This can be focused on impaired driving, or general traffic enforcement. For DUI mentorship, WTSC has found it to be best practice to include a mix of instruction and practical experience. The mentor should be a DRE when possible, or a highly effective DUI emphasis patrol officer with a minimum of ARIDE training. Mentor/mentee activities will be pre -approved by the TZM or LEL after the mentee submits their interest. 3.1.4.11. Community outreach/collaboration: Funds can be used to pay for traffic safety focused community outreach and collaboration activities. The operational approach for regional community outreach and collaboration activities should be developed at the Task Force level and be approved by the WTSC. WTSC recommends that these activities include an opportunity for the audience to provide feedback on local traffic safety priorities and activities, which ideally will influence the region's plan for traffic safety programming. 3.1.4.12. In order to receive funding from this grant, agencies must participate with the regional traffic safety task force/coalition in the planning efforts for these activities. 3.1.4.13. WTSC also encourages all law enforcement agencies in Washington to utilize WTSC's data analysis resources, such as interactive dashboards and data from a statewide attitudinal survey, as well their regional Target Zero Manager to identify priorities for engaging with the community. 3.1.4.14. WTSC will provide tools for documenting community collaboration activities, such as the WEMS activity log. 3.1.5 NATIONAL AND STATE-WIDE MOBILIZATIONS Not all agencies are required to participate in all of the mobilizations listed below. However, the region must have some law enforcement participation in all of the mobilizations listed. Dates are tentative and may change when NHTSA publishes their FFY2026 mobilization calendar.

DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION Instructions for Lower Tier Certification 33.1. By signing this Agreement, the SUB -RECIPIENT (hereinafter in this section referred to as the "lower tier participant") is providing the certification set out below and agrees to comply with the requirements of 2 CFR part 180 and 23 CFR part 1200. 33.2. The certification in this section is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was entered into. If it is later determined that the lower tier participant knowingly Page 13 of 20 Docusign Envelope ID: C36AA2FB-635C-4C1A-9CCE-AA3BE2513F99 1j1 WEMS rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the federal government, the department or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension and/or debarment. 33.3. The lower tier participant shall provide immediate written notice to the WTSC if at any time the lower tier participant learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. 33.4. The terms covered transaction, civil judgement, debarment, suspension, ineligible, participant, person, principal, and voluntarily excluded, as used in this clause, are defined in 2 CFR parts 180 and 1200. 33.5. The lower tier participant agrees by signing this Agreement that it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, debarred, suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless authorized by WTSC. 33.6.

A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier covered transaction that it is not proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction, unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant is responsible for ensuring that its principals are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise ineligible to participate in covered transactions. To verify the eligibility of its principals, as well as the eligibility of any prospective lower tier participants, each participant may, but is not required to, check the System for Award Management Exclusions website (https://www.sam.gov/). 33.8. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. 33.9. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 33.5. of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is proposed for debarment under 48 CFR part 9, subpart 9.4, suspended, debarred, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal government, the department or agency with which this transaction originated may pursue available remedies, including suspension or debarment.
