The overarching goal of this opportunity is to improve road safety within communities across Massachusetts. The program intends to achieve this through the outreach of nonprofit organizations with the aim of lowering fatalities and serious injuries among both motor vehicle occupants and non-motorists using the roadways of their respective municipalities. OGR encourages all applicants interested in this funding opportunity to set their primary goal toward supporting the reduction of roadway fatalities and serious injuries to zero. Renewal applicants must identify communities with unmet needs, as indicated by available statewide data and problem identification. OGR encourages applicants to continue to form partnerships that incorporate a whole-community, data-driven approach to identifying and addressing road safety problems. Examples include but are not limited to: Parent-teacher organizations, senior centers, community centers, schools, student councils, or local and regional community traffic safety coalitions.
