Our Mission

The mission of the Office of Highway Safety and Justice Programs (OHSJP) is to utilize state and federal resources to educate the public on highway safety issues for the purpose of reducing and eventually eliminating fatal crashes and injuries; to initiate and coordinate statewide education and enforcement campaigns and programs to promote highway safety goals; to partner with law enforcement agencies and others on highway safety initiatives; to serve as a custodian of statewide collision statistics; and to further the administration of justice through improvements to the criminal and juvenile justice systems through the administration of subgrants.
