Section 2011 Child Safety and Child Booster
Seat Incentive Grants
All State Highway Safety Grant Programs
History and Administration
The Section 2011 Child Safety and Child Booster Seat Incentive Grant grant program was authorized under SAFETEA-LU. It is administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at the federal level and the State Highway Safety Offices (SHSOs) at the state level.
Purpose
This grant program encourages states to enact and enforce booster seat laws.
Requirements
A state is eligible for a grant if it has enacted and is enforcing a law requiring children too large for a child safety seat to be secured in a restraint that meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for children 50 pounds and above. States must satisfy a maintenance of effort requirement and must submit a report specifying how the grant funds will be expended. Not more than half of the funding can be used to purchase and distribute child restraints to low income families. The remaining funds can be used for child passenger safety training, enforcement of child restraint laws and education programs about the proper use and installation of child restraints.
Funding
SAFETEA-LU authorizes the Section 2011 program at at $6 million each year for FY 2006 - FY 2008 and $7 million for FY 2009.
