  Please note: The grant application has been changed to include the e-mail address of the Project Director, Financial Director and Government Official. Grant approval letters with approved grants will now be e-mailed. This reduces our internal costs (postage, envelopes, paper etc.) and will accelerate the approval process. Thank you for your cooperation. If no e-mail address is provided, the letter and approved grant will be mailed (through US Mail) only to the Project Director.

  For additional information on the following programs please contact Al Tindall, Central Region Supervisor, at 609-633-9028 or al.tindall@lps.state.nj.us  
 
  Comprehensive Traffic Safety Programs CTSP's  
 
Comprehensive Traffic Safety Program grants address multiple traffic safety concerns within a county or community.
CTSP grants include numerous different tasks and strategies involving enforcement, education and engineering.
The potential grantee must provide a detailed Problem Identification section with extensive information about the community, motor vehicle crash experience (including pedestrian & bicycle), data analysis and creative solutions
to reduce these crashes.

The generic NJDHTS Grant Application should be used for a CTSP grant proposal.

 
  Seat Belts  
 
The current seat belt usage rate in New Jersey is 90%
The goal of the seat belt program is to continue to raise this usage rate in the years ahead.
In the Central Region, seat belt grant funding is distributed through the annual Click It or Ticket two-week enforcement mobilization.
Currently there are no year-round seat belt grants available.

Contact the Region Supervisor to be considered for the next Click It or Ticket funding cycle

 
  Impaired Driving  
 
The proportion of alcohol-related fatalities in New Jersey (2004-2006) is 32%.
The goal of the impaired driving program is to lower this rate in the years ahead.
In the Central Region, impaired driving grant funding is primarily distributed through the annual "Over the Limit. Under Arrest" two-week enforcement crackdown.
Year-round, innovative impaired driving grants involving enforcement and education will also be considered.

Contact the Region Supervisor to be considered for next "Over the Limit. Under Arrest" funding cycle.

 
  Pedestrian Safety  
 
The proportion of pedestrian fatalities in New Jersey is 21%, which is well above the national average.
The goal of the pedestrian safety program area is to lower the pedestrian fatality and injury rate in the years ahead.
In the Central Region, municipalities that are statistically high for pedestrian injury crashes are eligible to apply for our Pedestrian Safety Grant.
The grant includes funding for overtime enforcement at pedestrian safety hot spots in the community and educational outreach throughout the community.

Contact the Region Supervisor to find out if you qualify and to receive further information.

 
  Aggressive Driving  
 
Aggressive Driving and Speed Enforcement are emerging priorities for the Central Region and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for FY2008.
In addition, residential speeding is seen as a major quality of life issue in most New Jersey communities.
Grant funding is available for overtime enforcement relating to speed and aggressive driving.
Contact the Region Supervisor to find out if you qualify and to receive the latest information on this program area.
 
  Child Passenger Safety  
 
From 1998-present, hundreds of certified child passenger safety technicians have been trained in the Central Region.
The FY2008 CPS priorities include regaining certification for many expired technicians and streamlining re-certification procedures.
A small amount of grant funding is available for CPS, including overtime funding for CPS check events and the purchase of materials to support CPS check events.

This grant program has been scaled back for FY2008. Contact the Region Supervisor for additional information on future plans.

 
  Seatbelt and Impaired Driving short term mobilizations  
 
All police agencies in the Central Region are expected to support statewide enforcement campaigns, whether funded or non-funded:
Click It or Ticket: May 2008
  Over the Limit. Under Arrest: August 2008
 
  Other Eligible Programs  
 
Grant applications may also be submitted that utilize enforcement, education or engineering counter-measures to address other specific traffic safety issues including:
Bicycling Safety
  Crash Investigation
  Diversity Programs
  EMS Training
  Traffic Records
  Motorcycle Safety
  School Bus/Pupil Transportation
 
Traffic Engineering
For any of these program areas, potential grantees should utilize the generic NJDHTS grant application and should plan to attach a detailed Problem Identification section with 3 years of motor vehicle crash injury or property damage statistics, goals, objectives and strategies.
 
  Timelines and Deadline  
 
Each year, applications for limited funding encounter more competition. Be sure your request details the problem and your goal addresses reducing crashes.
