GRANT DISBURSEMENT

The Florida Department of Transportation has awarded subgrant G3V43 to the University of North Florida for the Comprehensive Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program, identified as Project PS-2027-00138. With a total funding amount of 402,000 dollars and a performance period ending September 30, 2027, the grant is managed by the Institute of Police Technology and Management. The primary objective of this initiative is to reduce pedestrian and bicycle fatalities through the High Visibility Education and Enforcement Initiative. Under the terms of the agreement, the Institute of Police Technology and Management is responsible for analyzing crash data to identify priority counties and reviewing subsequent applications. The program involves executing contracts with various law enforcement agencies to provide overtime reimbursement for safety enforcement efforts. This collaborative approach between the state and local agencies aims to enhance overall road safety for non-motorists across the designated areas.
