NCDOT Bicycle Helmet Initiative
Source: North Carolina Department of Transportation
The primary goal of the Bicycle Helmet Initiative is to reduce child/youth bicycle fatalities and serious injuries, including head trauma, in North Carolina.
Bicycle safety and education is an integral part of the Integrated Mobilty Division's purpose. To promote bicycle safety, which includes helmet usage, the Bicycle Helmet Initiative selection process awards helemts to eligible government and nonprofit agencies. Helmets will be awarded and distributed once per calendar year in the spring and awardees will have the remainder of the calendar year to host their program. Selected applicants meeting the criteria will be awarded helmets to distribute to low income children.
