Explanation
The Ohio Department of Public Safety has awarded a grant to the Columbus Health Department to fund the Occupant Protection Program. This program will increase the proper installation and use of child restraint systems to reduce incidences of deaths and the severity of injuries to young children, especially those under the age of eight, who are involved in motor vehicle crashes. This will be accomplished by planning, developing, coordinating, and implementing a statewide comprehensive, community-based injury prevention program targeting Ohio's high risk population of children from birth to eight years old, especially children from economically disadvantaged families. Training will be provided for volunteers and other child passenger safety professionals and advocates.
This grant has been awarded in the amount of $68,667 for the period of October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004.

Emergency action is requested to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.

FISCAL IMPACT: The Occupant Protection Program is funded by the Ohio Department of Public Safety. This project will not generate revenue or require a City match.
