Sen. Yager announces Highway Safety Grants
(NASHVILLE, TN), October 22, 2009 - State Senator Ken Yager (R-Harriman) said today that he has been informed that 12 agencies in District 12, which he represents, will receive Highway Safety Grants. The grants will be awarded to promote public safety on Tennessee roads. District 12 consists of Campbell, Fentress, Morgan, Rhea, Roane, and Scott Counties.
"I am very pleased that so many agencies in our Senate District will receive these grants," said Sen. Yager. "These funds should help us in our efforts to make our roads safer.”
The awards, which will be disbursed by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office (GHSO), are provided to agencies that successfully applied for funding based on problem and statistical need. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provides the funding for GHSO grants. Applications were reviewed and scored by the GHSO and external highway safety advocates.
