Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2013, $806,199)
This award was competitively made in response to a proposal submitted by Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VPI) to a National Institute of Justice FY 2013 solicitation: "Evaluating the Efficacy of Lighting, Markings, and Paint Schemes in Reducing the Incidence of Law Enforcement Vehicle Crashes". NIJs efforts to reduce law enforcement officer line-of-duty deaths and disabling injuries include research to improve traffic safety. From 2001 to 2010, traffic accidents were the single most prevalent cause of such deaths. In partnership with six law enforcement agencies in the State of Virginia, VPI proposes to evaluate the impact of alternative vehicle lighting, marking, and painting schemes on law enforcement vehicle traffic safety. ca/ncf
