2019 - AAA TRAFFIC SAFETY GRANT APPLICATION
AAA recognizes the resource challenges faced by law enforcement agencies, public safety organizations and fire departments as they attempt to equip their organizations with much-needed traffic safety equipment. AAA respects the efforts of these agencies and values their partnerships in our collaborative efforts to save lives and make our roadways safer. In response, AAA has established a grant application process that provides these organizations with an opportunity to submit requests for grant assistance to aid in the purchase of traffic safety equipment.
Grant applications will be accepted from January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019.
This process allows us to evaluate requests based on a number of criteria to assure the most effective distribution of funds.
This is an equipment-specific grant program. Granted funds must be used for the purchase of the equipment outlined in the application. Examples of the types of traffic safety equipment that AAA will consider for this program are listed below. Please note that consideration will also be given to other items if they are traffic safety -related.
➢ Extrication equipment and/or accessories (cribbing & strut kits, etc.)
➢ Heavy lift bags
➢ Radar speed trailers or radar speed signs

AAA Traffic Safety Grant awards will be:
