Discretionary Cooperative Agreements With Community-Based Organizations To Support Seat Belt and Child Safety Seat Use Among Sport Utility Vehicle Occupants

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announces a cooperative agreement program to provide funding to two communities in support of the Buckle Up America (BUA) campaign. The goal of this campaign is to increase the national seat belt use rate from 71 percent (November 2000) to 90 percent by 2005. NHTSA solicits applications from community-based organizations or coalitions interested in developing and implementing a community demonstration project characterized by a public information and education program coupled with highly visible law enforcement efforts designed to increase seat belt and child restraint use among occupants of sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Community-based organizations or coalitions of community organizations, state and local government agencies and non- profit organizations that promote injury prevention and safety programs are encouraged to apply.
