Regional grant funding will be used to cover the cost of requested equipment that will help reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries on roadways. Agencies must justify how the equipment will help make Missouri’s roads safer. This grant typically awards out flashlights, medical trauma kits, portable breathalyzer tests, rain jackets, road flare kits, safety vests, Stalker radars, tint meters, and more.  For consideration, please submit your application no later than June 15, 2025.
