The grants help fund speed enforcement, first responder equipment purchases, drunken driving prosecutors and child passenger safety training.
Gov. Phil Bredesen said in a news release that the funds will help make roadways safer.
The grants were awarded to agencies that applied based on a defined problem and statistical need. The applications were scored by the Governor’s Highway Safety Office and external highway safety advocates.
