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 2012, the CPS Mini-Grant will include 135 of the 159
counties in Georgia. (See Map)
