The Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Mini-Grant
The goal of the Child Passenger Safety Mini-Grant Program is to assist local health agencies in reducing the motor vehicle related morbidity and mortality rates in Georgia's children by:
- Reinforcing the importance of the proper use of safety belts and car seats.
- Increasing the availability of information about the proper seating positions for children in air bag equipped motor vehicles.
- Providing car seats and booster seats to families with an identified financial need
- Over 50% of children born in Georgia receive Medicaid benefits
In 2013, the CPS Mini-Grant will include 154 of the 159
counties in Georgia. (See Map)
