The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is offering a limited number of FREE Traffic Safety Toolkits that contain resources intended to help law enforcement, civic leaders, transportation officials, and lawmakers work together to address traffic safety concerns in their community.

The Toolkit contains guidebooks that address issues such as speeding in residential communities, traffic congestion around schools, street racing, drunk driving, cruising, pedestrian injuries and fatalities, and establishing successful publicity and public education campaigns. The guidebooks will help you asses your local problem and develop effective responses. They also highlight successful strategies that have been implemented in other parts of the country to address similar problems
