The Riverside County Sheriff’s Jurupa Valley Station received a $113,527.00 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety to assist in efforts to reduce deaths and injuries on the City of Eastvale roads. The one-year grant is for the 2021 federal fiscal year, which runs from October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021.
“These are trying times, and now more than ever, it is important that we are at the forefront of traffic safety,” said Captain John Morin. “This funding allows us to educate and enhance the safety of all residents.”
The grant will fund a variety of traffic safety programs, including patrols with emphasis on alcohol and drug-impaired driving prevention, awareness and education of California’s hands-free cell phone law, education of traffic rights for bicyclists and pedestrians, and awareness and education of primary causes of crashes: excess speed, failure to yield, failure to stop at stop signs and signals, and improper turning and lane changes.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
