Dear XXXXXX:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is conducting a national study of United States law enforcement agencies that are currently using Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) or that have used ASE in the past. The information collected in this study will help NHTSA gain a better understanding of how ASE is being or has been utilized around the country. This information will be used to improve NHTSA’s Speed Enforcement Camera Systems Operational Guidelines with the continued objective of assisting State and local agencies in efficiently implementing or modifying ASE programs based on the experiences of law enforcement agencies nationwide.

You agency has been identified as one that either has a current ASE program or has had an ASE program in the past. By completing this questionnaire on your agency’s experiences utilizing ASE in traffic safety enforcement, you will make a significant contribution to highway safety efforts across the United States. In addition to helping improve the information available on ASE programs, the time spent completing the questionnaire may also provide an opportunity to review your program’s operations. Most importantly, the final report from this study will provide insights from ASE programs throughout the country.

In about a week, NHTSA’s contractor for this study, M. Davis and Co., will be sending you a questionnaire packet in the mail. We ask that your agency complete the questionnaire and return it to the contractor. The study is voluntary. The information collected will be aggregated for analysis; no agency comparisons will be made. Your participation in the study will be of great assistance to other jurisdictions with ASE programs and jurisdictions that are starting a new ASE program.

Thank you for your time. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Randolph Atkins, Ph.D.
