About...

The Franklin County Safe Communities Project helps to promote traffic safety through a coalition of partners from law enforcement, health, education, engineering, transportation and planning, together with community residents. Our goal is to reduce traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities in Franklin County by focusing on safety belt use, drinking and driving, speed, pedestrian safety, teen driving, and running of red lights.
