The Nebraska Office of Highway Safety (NOHS) is responsible for developing and implementing effective strategies to reduce the state’s traffic-related injury and fatality rates. These strategies may take the form of stand-alone projects, activities and/or more comprehensive long-term programs. Both traditional and innovative strategies are encouraged and utilized to support the NOHS goals.
The NOHS is responsible for the administration of the Federal Highway Safety funding and for facilitating the Highway Safety Program's efforts supported by these funds.
