Description
The Wyoming Department of Transportation’s Highway Safety Behavioral Grants Program funds activities aimed at reducing crashes, fatalities, and injuries on Wyoming roads. Its Highway Safety Office identifies traffic safety problems using crash and other data, then works with state and community partners to develop responses. The program’s goal is “Towards Zero Deaths,” with an emphasis on coordinated education, enforcement, and other countermeasures rather than one prescribed project type.
Supported work includes impaired-driving and occupant-protection efforts, traffic safety outreach, youth programs, media campaigns, motorcycle awareness, child passenger safety training, court monitoring, and traffic records improvements. Wyoming’s triennial Highway Safety Plan sets the strategies that guide project selection; annual grant applications identify the projects to be carried out.
