These operations are being funded through grant money received from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission. The Louisiana Highway Safety Commission (LHSC) administers the State’s highway safety grant program. Louisiana’s highway safety program is designed to reduce traffic crashes and the resulting deaths, injuries, and property damage of these crashes. There are three contributing factors associated with a traffic crash: the roadway/environment, the vehicle, and the driver.
