The Tennessee Highway Safety Office has unveiled a substantial federal grant initiative amounting to $33.5 million aimed at enhancing highway safety enforcement and educational programs across the state. This funding is part of a broader effort, with over 390 federal awards distributed, collectively exceeding $33 million, to various partners involved in highway safety and law enforcement throughout Tennessee.
A significant portion of these funds, approximately $4 million, is earmarked for media grants that will facilitate public awareness campaigns and educational initiatives focused on highway safety statewide. Each year, the THSO opens up grant applications, allowing a diverse array of stakeholders—including road safety advocates, non-profit organizations, emergency response teams, law enforcement agencies, district attorneys general, and other relevant entities—to apply for financial support to bolster their efforts in promoting safer roadways.
