Director’s Biography — Barbara L. Rooney | Office of Traffic Safety
She also oversaw the CHSRA’s management of $3.5 billion in federal grants awarded to California’s High-Speed Rail Program.
Rooney previously served in multiple positions at the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) including Training Officer, Principal Legislative Analyst, Chief of the Departmental Training Branch, and Deputy Director of Legislation where she was successful in achieving favorable outcomes for the DMV and the people of California regarding hundreds of legislative measures aimed at improving traffic and public safety. Most notably, Rooney was widely recognized as the DMV’s expert in the body of law designed to discourage drivers from operating vehicles under the influence and played a vital role in the crafting of legislation for numerous other traffic safety areas of law.
As the OTS Director, Rooney manages more than $90 million in federal funding for traffic safety grants across the state. Rooney will set annual goals and priority areas for safety programs in the Highway Safety Plan and Strategic Highway Safety Plan aimed at reducing the number of victims killed and injured on California roads. She is also responsible for preparing an Annual Performance Report that highlights accomplishments in traffic safety efforts, as well as working with other agencies and partner organizations on new and innovative safety measures.

Who’s Got Car Seats | Office of Traffic Safety
In 1997, the “Who’s Got Car Seats?” directory was created to help initiate and maintain this requirement, which includes a listing of child passenger safety education and low-cost purchase or loaner programs in each county. Also included in each county’s listing is the information for the local designated Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Coordinator, if the education program is subcontracted, and if a CPS Violator Education Program is available. The County CPS Coordinator is contacted yearly to update this information. This information is available on the OTS website at www.ots.ca.gov. The intention to have this information available statewide is for use by the courts, hospitals, county programs, community based programs, and the public to be able to access child passenger safety education and installation services throughout California. Contact the County CPS Coordinator for local questions, or the OTS staff for other directory information at (916) 509-3030.

For information on Child Safety Seat Programs in your county, please select from the drop down lists below and click on the submit button.

2019 Grant Program Highlight | Office of Traffic Safety
CCCFPD and ECCFPD were one of 10 grants awarded by the OTS for the 2019 grant year to purchase new, lighter extrication equipment that allows emergency responders quicker access to victims trapped in vehicles. Reducing the time it takes to rescue an injured victim increases their chances of survival by getting them the care they need quicker. CCCFPD and ECCFPD reported that during the grant year they reduced the time it takes to extricate a victim by as much as 50% in some areas.
 

Motorcycle Safety 
 

Hawthorne, Rialto and Torrance Police Department’s “Ride to Live” Program
The “Ride to Live” program provides hands-on motorcycle training to the public. It gives experienced riders the chance to hone their skills turning, braking and avoiding crashes. 2019 marked the first year Rialto Police ran the program, holding four “Ride to Live” training classes for 82 riders.  The Hawthorne Police Department partnered with the Torrance Police Department to offer “Ride to Live” classes in the cities of Hawthorne and Torrance. In 2019, they conducted 11 classes with more than 300 riders. The city of Hawthorne saw a 63% reduction in motorcyclists killed in crashes. The city of Rialto also saw reductions in motorcyclists killed and injured.
 

Traffic Records

University of California, Berkeley SafeTREC Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS)
The Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) provides the public and government agencies free access to California crash data that can easily be mapped out to show trends and problem areas. Taking data from the California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), TIMS offers interactive maps that show where crashes occurred, as well as allow users to create collision diagrams and identify bicycle and pedestrian collision hot spots. The mapping system was created by the University of California Berkeley’s Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC), a partner of the OTS for nearly 20 years.
