The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded a $1.19 million Formula Grant to the Puerto Rico Traffic Safety Commission under the Minimum Penalties for Repeat Offenders for Driving While Intoxicated program. The grant will support alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures in Puerto Rico from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2026. As required under the program, the funding will help Puerto Rico enact and enforce laws establishing minimum penalties for repeat intoxicated drivers. The Commission, a division of the Puerto Rico Commonwealth's Commission of Volunteerism and Community Service, will oversee implementation of countermeasures such as enforcement of repeat offender laws using the federal funding.
