The Northeast Coalition for Roadway Safety is offering grant funding to local schools that hold student lock-in events for Project Prom or high school graduation. Eligibility requirements include hosting a presentation or activity educating students on highway safety issues. There are many highway safety programs available at no cost to schools. A complete list can be found on the resource flyer posted on the Northeast Coalition for Roadway Safety website.
Qualifying schools will receive $200 each to assist with event expenses such as location rental, food or entertainment which will be paid directly to the school.
“These supervised events are a way for students to safely enjoy their special event with friends,” said Northeast District Traffic Engineer Jonathan Bruner. “Impaired or distracted driving can have devastating consequences, changing lives in a matter of seconds. We want these students to have positive and lasting memories of these important occasions, not tragedies.”
The Northeast Coalition will be accepting grant applications now through Feb. 21. Interested schools and/or their sponsors can submit the online grant application by visiting https://www.modot.org/form/project-prom-graduation-grant.
Funding is available for up to 20 local schools.
