Nevada will receive more than $2.5 million in federal grant money designated for highway safety programs, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid announced Monday.
The grant money amounts to $2,522,323 from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It will be used for programs to reduce deaths and injuries on the highways and roads by focusing on issues such as driver education, impaired driving, pedestrian and bicycle safety, occupant protection, and emergency medical services.
“The transportation bill that I helped pass in 2012 continues to benefit Nevada,” said Senator Harry Reid. “This grant will help Nevada produce highway safety programs such as ‘Click it or Ticket’ and impaired driving advertisement campaigns and enforcement, motorcycle safety programs and education, child restraint safety programs, and more. These initiatives help keep our roadways and highways safe.”
