The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Arkansas State Police a $274,227.05 formula grant under the National Priority Safety Programs program. The grant funds alcohol-ignition interlock laws and services through September 2026. As a formula grant under the State and Community Highway Safety program, it will support Arkansas's efforts to address national priorities like impaired driving and occupant protection. The interlock laws aim to reduce drunk driving by allowing alcohol detection devices to be installed in vehicles to prevent drivers from starting their vehicles if they have been drinking. This grant will help Arkansas strengthen its legal framework to save lives and make roads safer.
