Governor's Council on Impaired & Dangerous Driving

Mission: To reduce death, injury, property damage and economic cost associated with traffic crashes on Indiana's roadways.

The Governor's Council on Impaired & Dangerous Driving serves as the public opinion catalyst and the implementing body for statewide action to reduce death and injury on Indiana roadways. The Council provides grant funding, training, coordination and ongoing support to state and local traffic safety advocates.

The Governor's Council on Impaired & Dangerous Driving serves as the traffic safety focal point in Indiana. In this role, the Council is charged with developing policies, procedures, strategies, and programs to effectively manage and administer Indiana's highway safety program. The intended outcome of all of the Councils efforts is to reduce death and injuries, and economic costs associated with motor vehicle crashes. The Council, a division of the Criminal Justice Institute, administers federal funding from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through targeted traffic safety grants to state and local organizations. The Council's Advisory Board, a group of 22 volunteers, is appointed by the governor to make traffic safety policy recommendations. The Council coordinates aggressive public information campaigns designed for implementation at the state and local level and provides materials, grant funding and information to traffic safety advocates. The Council also serves as Indiana's primary source for information and research on traffic safety issues which directly affect public safety and policy.
