The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety gave the money to APD’s Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic units that aim to enforce speeding laws, reduce drunk driving accidents and educate communities about safety.
The Atlanta Police Department will add $140,200 to the local unit’s budget, giving the program a $233,600 budget.
Between October 2011 and September 2012, the money will be used to “develop and implement strategies using traffic enforcement and education to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities from drugs and alcohol, speed and aggressive driving, as well as the non-use of safety belts,” according to police spokesperson.

H.E.A.T. is an acronym for Highway Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic and aims to reduce fatal crashes involving driver impairment and speeding while increasing the use of seat belts.
