Carver Police Department Receives $20,000 State Grant to Improve Road Safety

CARVER — Chief Marc Duphily is pleased to share that the Carver Police Department has been awarded $20,000 in state grant funding to improve road safety. 

The Healey-Driscoll Administration awarded more than $12.4 million in funding through the Municipal Road Safety, State Agency Traffic Safety, and Underserved Communities Traffic Safety Grant Programs.

The Carver Police Department received funding through the Municipal Road Grant Safety Program. The funding will allow departments to afford road safety initiatives such as traffic safety enforcement, bicyclist and pedestrian safety enforcement, non-enforcement activities such as training or community events, and the purchase of traffic safety equipment or other community safety items.

Carver Police plan to use the grant to run multiple traffic enforcement campaigns during the year — winter impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt enforcement, speeding, and summer impaired driving. The grant funding will also be used to purchase speed enforcement equipment. 

“I am incredibly grateful for this grant, which will enhance our traffic safety initiatives,” Chief Duphily said. “This funding will allow us to conduct enforcement campaigns to reduce crashes and protect our community.”
