Senate Transportation Chairman Jim Tracy (R-Murfreesboro) said that he has been informed that 7 agencies in District 16, which he represents, will receive Highway Safety Grants. The grants will be awarded to promote public safety on Tennessee roads.
"I am very pleased that so many agencies in our Senate District will receive these grants," said Senator Tracy. "These funds should help us in our efforts to make our roads safer.”
The awards, which will be disbursed by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office (GHSO), are provided to agencies that successfully applied for funding based on problem and statistical need. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provides the funding for GHSO grants. Applications were reviewed and scored by the GHSO and external highway safety advocates. The agencies that met the criteria for funding received awards.
