The Governor's Highway Safety Bureau administers federal grants aimed at reducing the number of fatalities and injuries on the roadways of the Commonwealth. The Bureau funds highway safety programs with state agencies, law enforcement agencies, cities and towns, and non-profit organizations to reduce incidences of speeding and driving while intoxicated, encourage people to wear safety belts, and promote safe driving practices.
