The Southeast Coalition for Roadway Safety is now accepting applications for a grant program aimed at supporting local law enforcement agencies in their efforts to reduce traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries. The application period runs from May 1 through June 15.
The regional grant funding can be used to purchase essential safety equipment such as flashlights, medical trauma kits, portable breathalyzer tests, rain jackets, road flare kits, Stalker radars, and more. Agencies must demonstrate how the requested items will contribute to safer roadways in Missouri.
Grant awards will be based on several factors, including agency involvement with the Coalition, previous grant awards, participation in MoDOT Highway Safety enforcement campaigns, proposed impact, and traffic data.
Agencies can apply by visiting www.savemolives.com/se. For more information, contact Ashley Metelski at (573) 472-5885 or ashley.metelski@modot.mo.gov.
