Mitigating factors • Many of the citations issued are for violations on State Highways (S/R 431or 28) • Many of the DUI arrests occur on State Highways • There is no Incline/Crystal Bay database for the accident rate on area State Highways (This is maintained by Nevada DPS and only collected for the entire Nevada portion of the Tahoe Basin). • Depending on the weather for a given year, weather conditions can be a significant contributing factor for the accident rate. • WCSO is the only consistent enforcement agency for this area.

Card available at bars and casinos. Train bartenders to spot ‘Tipsy’ person. Stress promptness to cab companies. • “Designated Driver” non profit corporation formed. Program being used in California created by a Nick Yaya. Two ‘riders’ provided to each subscribing bar/casino. One drives the ‘tipsy’ person home while the other follows in the patron’s car. Funded by bars/casinos and operates during a pre-designated time. • Proactive Police presence at bars/casinos advising ‘tipsy’ patrons to take a cab. • Shuttle service funded by bars/casinos. • Breath testers (PBT’s) in bars/casinos. • Low impact ferry between North and South shores. • Answering service to coordinate above listed efforts.
