Grand Canyon National Park has been granted funding from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS), facilitated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The funds will be used to enhance pedestrian and bicycle safety, speed enforcement, and impaired driving prevention within the park.
The grant will provide for the purchase of necessary equipment, allowing park rangers to conduct high-visibility traffic enforcement. This is part of a broader strategy aimed at reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities on park roadways.
In addition to enforcement, the funding will also support community outreach initiatives. These efforts are intended to educate the public about safety precautions and encourage responsible behavior on park roads. The ultimate goal is to ensure the safety and well-being of all visitors to Grand Canyon National Park.
