BACKGROUND
Background
The NC Department of Public Safety (NCDPS) would like to assist in funding the One Step Further-Traffic Diversion Program in the Guilford County area during FY 25. NCDPS has requested that they use Guilford County as a funding facilitator to the One Step Further - Traffic Diversion Program with monthly reimbursements during FY 24. The Guilford Teen Traffic Diversion Pilot Program (TTD) provides the opportunity for 16-18 year olds charged with traffic offenses to be diverted from adult court while addressing potential causes for the offense and increasing public safety. The required sanction for program completion and dismissal of charges is satisfactory completion of the Alive at 25 4-hour class. The program expects to serve approximately eighty (80) youth this fiscal year with an average stay of thirty (30) days.
NCDPS will take on all responsibilities for vetting the program’s services and expenditures and will disburse funds to Guilford County monthly to reimburse One Step Further-Traffic Diversion Program. Guilford County will not be required to complete any monitoring, financial reviewing, etc., only schedule monthly reimbursements based on NCDPS disbursements.
