This AGF is designed to provide municipal police departments with a high level of flexibility in determining the best strategies to supplement each municipality’s existing traffic safety efforts and activities. Eligible programs include High Visibility Enforcement (HVE), a proven countermeasure for road safety and an essential component in highway safety efforts; traditional enforcement campaigns; pedestrian and bicyclist focused enforcement; alternatives for specific speed-related safety equipment; specialized training to strengthen officers' knowledge, skills, and abilities; and the development of community programs that focus on enhancing outreach and awareness. OGR strongly encourages applicants to implement non-enforcement strategies that will raise community awareness of traffic safety issues and help instill beneficial changes in road user behavior. This allows for positive interactions between police and their communities.
