Description
The Wyoming Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety Behavioral Grants Program supports programs and activities addressing behavioral traffic safety problems on Wyoming roads. The Highway Safety Office identifies problems using crash records and other traffic safety data, then works with state and community leaders and public and private partners to implement effective responses. Its overall goal is to reduce traffic crashes, fatalities, and injuries through leadership, innovation, facilitation, and program support.
Primary emphasis areas include occupant protection and impaired driving, with attention to speeding, distracted driving, motorcycles, vulnerable road users, teen drivers, traffic records, and roadside deaths. Supported strategies include enforcement, outreach and education, media campaigns, professional training, court monitoring, surveys, coalitions, youth programs, child passenger safety, and traffic records improvements. Work is guided by a triennial Highway Safety Plan and annual project descriptions.
