NHTSA has awarded two discretionary cooperative agreements to be used in demonstrating and evaluating the effectiveness of the Safe Communities approach. One agreement, awarded to the Providence Safe Communities Partnership (through Rhode Island Hospital), will focus on reducing traffic-related injuries in inner-city neighborhoods. A second agreement, awarded to the Anchorage Safe Communities Program (housed at Providence Alaska Medical Center), will focus on several issues, including impaired driving, pedestrian safety, and youth.
