Arrests for Los Altos Hills, Cupertino, and Saratoga appear in the Sheriff's Office arrest figures, but are not broken down. Similarly, no further information was available on the CHP arrest locations, which were made mostly in Santa Clara County south of Mountain View, but span wide swaths of highways from Mountain View to Hollister.
Funding for the program, which pays for extra police patrols, was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
