The Division of Highway Traffic Safety (HTS) works to prevent motor vehicle-related crashes and the resulting property damage, injuries, and fatalities on New Jersey’s roadways. HTS is responsible for administering the State & Community Highway Safety Program, which annually distributes approximately $30 million in federal funding to develop and implement a statewide highway safety plan. The Director of HTS also serves as the Governor’s representative to the Governor’s Highway Safety Association and The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Proposed Regulation – Drunk Driving Enforcement Fund
The Division of Highway Traffic Safety has proposed amendments regarding the rules that govern the administration of the Drunk Driving Enforcement Fund (DDEF).
Existing regulations govern the operation of the DDEF, including rules for the allocation of grant monies for expenditures on enforcement-related items for law enforcement personnel conducting additional DWI enforcement patrols and checkpoints. The proposed amendments improve the administration of the DDEF, add and expand definitions, and clarify language that is outdated or unclear.
The proposed regulation and information on how to submit a comment by October 4, 2024, can be viewed at: https://www.njoag.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2024-HTS-56-N.J.R.-1547a.pdf
