More Than $180,000 to Iowa for Traffic Safety

By Grassley Press

WASHINGTON - Senator Chuck Grassley said today that the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has awarded a $182,029 grant to the Iowa Department of Transportation.

The Iowa Department of Transportation will use the funds to implement and enforce occupant protection programs to reduce deaths and injuries from riding unrestrained or improperly restrained in motor vehicles.

According to the Department of Transportation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was established by the Highway Safety Act of 1970 to carry out safety programs previously administered by the National Highway Safety Bureau. The agency is charged with improving motor vehicle and highway safety.
