Baseline information must be provided by the subgrantee in order to identify local traffic enforcement related activity. A baseline is a number serving as a foundation for subgrantees to measure pre-grant traffic enforcement activity. This information should exclude any activity generated with STEP grant dollars. Once the baseline is established, these figures will be used to compare with the subsequent year’s grant traffic enforcement activity.

A baseline number is for the most current 12 months (or comparable time period) of complete data, excluding any activity generated with STEP grant dollars. Potential subgrantees should always provide the most recent certified local data available for baseline information. For example, if the most recent data available for a first-year project is through May 2019, then the baseline year would be June 2018 through May 2019.

See in the eGrants help system for more information and assistance on entering the problem identification into the eGrants proposal form pages.
