The Southeast Coalition for Roadway Safety is one of seven regions of the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety. The Coalition is comprised of a diverse group of individuals and agencies located throughout south central and southeast Missouri, dedicated to saving lives and reducing serious injuries from traffic crashes. Community Outreach Grant funding is available to agencies, businesses, and organizations that need resources to further promote roadway safety. This grant is only open to agencies located in the MoDOT Southeast District. View a map of the Southeast District here. The Coalition has three other grants it supports yearly: car seats for agencies/organizations with Child Passenger Safety Technicians, law enforcement traffic safety equipment, and funding for high schools that hold a Project Prom or Graduation event. To view all Southeast Coalition grants, please visit www.savemolives.com/se

Community Outreach funding will be awarded on a case-by-case basis throughout the fiscal year. Active participation and membership within the Southeast Coalition for Roadway Safety may increase your chances of receiving equipment/funding. Grant requests must address at least one of the emphasis areas identified in the Show-Me Zero strategic highway safety plan. These include occupant protection, distracted driving, speed and aggressive driving and impaired driving. Click here to learn more about Show-Me Zero. May 1, 2026 is the last day to apply in the current fiscal year.
