Safe Communities Coalition monthly meeting

Event Date:

Monday, June 3, 2019 - 9:30am to 10:30am

Safe Communities was introduced to Ohio in December, 1996, as a conceptual strategy for comprehensive traffic injury control at the local level. The goal is to reduce preventable crashes by increasing seat belt usage, increase motorcycle safety awareness, reducing distracted and impaired driving. Portage County Safe Communities coalition is comprised of safety advocates including local, county, state law enforcement, ODOT, UH Portage Medical Center, MADD, Portage County Health District, Portage County Coroner’s Office, Mental Health & Recovery Board, AAA, and local businesses.

The coalition meets the 1st Monday of every month – 9:30 a.m. @ 705 Oakwood Street to provide input and participate in activities to reach the work scope and goals of the grant.
