Description
The Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office (NDOT-HSO) offers this reimbursement mini-grant to help Nebraska child safety seat inspection stations acquire child restraint systems for distribution to low-income residents. Funding is based on demonstrated community need.
Mini-grants support a specific purchase or short-term activity lasting no longer than 30 days, rather than an ongoing program. The grant connects inspection stations’ child passenger safety work with seats for families who need help obtaining them. Awardees report the activity generated by the purchase annually for three years.
