Four St. Lawrence County agencies will receive federal funding for highway safety initiatives.
A recent press release from the state said the awards are part of more than $37.2 million in federal highway safety grants awarded to 502 programs throughout New York State in 2021.
Receiving funding in St. Lawrence County are:
• Potsdam Village Police Department, $7,480 for police traffic service;
• St. Lawrence County Community Services, $12,500 for a child passenger safety program;
• St. Lawrence County Community Services, $76,699 for the program “Traffic Safety a Concern in Rural Areas; and
• St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Office, $4,995 for police traffic service.
These grants provide funding to local, state and not-for-profit agencies for projects that improve overall highway safety and reduce deaths and serious injuries due to crashes. The projects awarded funding focused on three types of driver safety initiatives: highway safety, child passenger safety and police traffic services.
The funding, which is provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is administered by the governor's Traffic Safety Committee.
