The goal of the Child Passenger Safety Mini-Grant Program is to assist local health agencies in reducing the motor vehicle related morbidity and mortality rates in Georgia's children by:

  • Reinforcing the importance of the proper use of safety belts and car seats.
  • Increasing the availability of information about the proper seating positions for children in air bag equipped motor vehicles.
  • Providing car seats and booster seats to families with an identified financial need
    • Over 50% of children born in Georgia receive Medicaid benefits

In 2012, the CPS Mini-Grant will include 142 of the 159 counties in Georgia. (See Map)
