STA Grant to Promote Pedestrian Safety Among Older Adults

In California, the Solano Transportation Authority (STA) will be able to invest in a new program to encourage pedestrian safety among seniors and older adults through a $110,000 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, reports The Reporter . "With this grant, the STA's Solano Mobility Program will be able to continue to support safe walking and driving especially in communities and neighborhoods with a high senior population," declared STA Board Chair and Vacaville Mayor Ron Rowlett. "The ultimate goal is to reduce the number of pedestrian and vehicle collisions in Solano County." This is the third grant that the Office of Traffic Safety will be teaming with STA on to improve safety in the county. The California Office of Traffic Safety will allocate the STA grant through its Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program.
