The Healey administration announced it has awarded some $12.4 million in federal traffic safety funds for programs to promote safer roads in across the state.
“These programs, taken together, represent a holistic approach to addressing road safety concerns,” said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. “No one agency or approach can resolve these issues, but the combination of prevention, enforcement, education and outreach initiatives funded through these grants will ensure safer roads for all in Massachusetts.”
“The initiatives funded through these grant programs will ensure that drivers in communities across the state are better informed and safer behind the wheel,” said Public Safety and Security Secretary Terrence Reidy. “These grants promote strong partnerships between nonprofits, community members and public safety officials. Those relationships are key to our public safety strategy.”
