The N.C. Governor's Highway Safety Program (GHSP) promotes traffic safety awareness and works to reduce the number of traffic crashes and fatalities in North Carolina. The Governor's Highway Safety Program accomplishes our mission in two ways, through grant funding opportunities and conducting highway safety initiatives each year.
The Governor's Highway Safety Program plans and supports several highway safety initiatives each year. "Click It or Ticket" began in 1993 and has become the national model for an enforcement and education campaign of the same name operated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Since then, the agency has led law enforcement officers and other highway safety advocacy groups in initiatives such as "Booze It & Lose It," Bike Safe North Carolina, Child Passenger Safety, Watch for Me North Carolina and Obey the Sign or Pay the Fine.
