The County of San Luis Obispo Public Health Department has received two grants for a total of $292,768 from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to continue programs aimed at preventing deaths and injuries on our roadways. The grants will fund best practice strategies to address child passenger safety and pedestrian and bicycle safety in the county.
“Every bicyclist and pedestrian should feel safe walking or riding,” OTS Director Barbara Rooney said. “Pedestrians and bicyclists do not have the same protections as drivers and passengers. Drivers should slow down and drive like their closest family member or friend is walking or biking.”
