ALCOHOL SAFETY ACTION PROGRAM
PROGRAM MISSION: To improve highway safety by reducing the
incidence of driving under the influence.
Arlington Alcohol Safety Action
Program (ASAP) is a court mandated program for DUI (driving under the
influence) offenders and first time drug offenders. The goal of ASAP is to improve highway safety by reducing
alcohol-related arrests/accidents through the achievement of two general
objectives: to create a general deterrence to drinking and driving by the
public at large, and to produce a specific deterrence to prevent recidivism by
those arrested for driving while under the influence (DUI) of alcohol and/or
drugs. Defendants entering the program
are evaluated and assessed for placement in driver education (alcohol or drug
education), alcohol and/or drug counseling, relapse prevention, or a
combination of education and counseling.
ASAP acts as a probation facility for the courts to include monitoring
the participation of referred defendants, resulting in either certification of
compliance or return to court for non-compliance.

SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS: The budget for the Alcohol Safety Action Program
reflects:
-
Non-personnel expenditures increased mainly due to an
increase in consultants used for training programs ($19,000) which is partially offset by a decrease in employee
training ($4,000).
-
ASAP fee revenue increased mainly due to an increase in
entrance fees ($31,783) resulting from an increase in the number of Court
referrals.
