Specifically, the bill allocates $300,000 from the trunk highway fund to the transportation commissioner to modify work zone designs to reduce vehicle speeds. It provides $1,000,000 from both the trunk highway fund and general fund for safety measures in safe road zones. A significant $10,000,000 from the trunk highway fund is designated for roadway design improvements on rural high-risk roads, with an additional $2,000,000 from the general fund for law enforcement safety enforcement efforts on these roads. The bill also appropriates $2,000,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to support the Advisory Council on Traffic Safety's activities. Furthermore, it allocates $2,000,000 for law enforcement traffic safety training grants and $500,000 for safe ride programs to provide transportation options in local communities. The funding aims to improve road safety through infrastructure modifications, targeted enforcement, training, and community transportation support, with a focus on reducing speeds, preventing crashes, and protecting drivers.
