Discretionary Cooperative Agreement Program To Support and Promote Law Enforcement Pedestrian Safety Programs

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) announces a discretionary cooperative agreement program to provide funding to individuals and organizations in support of law enforcement programs to promote pedestrian safety. Law enforcement is a crucial partner and a key element in promoting safety, but may not be equipped with effective tools to protect the walking public. NHTSA has a guide book titled Law Enforcement Pedestrian Safety, which was developed in the early 1990's. That document is currently under revision, however, critical elements of law enforcement involvement in pedestrian safety remain unchanged: Visible enforcement reduces traffic violations; traffic enforcement can promote and enhance other law enforcement missions; prevention of crashes is part of law enforcement's role; and, promoting pedestrian safety can be a non-adversarial way to work within the community. NHTSA anticipates funding approximately four (4) demonstration projects for a minimum period of one year and a maximum period of two years. To this end, this cooperative agreement will support projects that promote law enforcement involvement in pedestrian safety programs. This notice solicit
