Description
This grant, administered by the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO) within the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, provides funding for community-based educational programs targeting impaired driving prevention among high-risk groups across Tennessee. The initiative supports evidence-based interventions such as Comprehensive Alcohol Risk Reduction (CARD) programs, Cops in Shops, Party Patrols, peer-to-peer mentoring, and other efforts to raise awareness of the Zero Tolerance Law and the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Projects must be data-driven, aiming to reduce impaired driving incidents and promote safer roadways statewide.
