GRANT GOALS Goals serve as the foundation upon which the grant is built. Goals are what you hope to accomplish by implementing a traffic safety grant and represent an end result. Grant goals should be stated in measurable terms (i.e., a percent reduction), be concise and deal with a specific item, be realistic with a reasonable probability of achievement, and be related to a specific time frame (a "by"date). Please notate baseline from which the reduction/increase will result. HPD will issue 1,200 or more speeding citations with grant funds in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2016. GRANT OBJECTIVES
