TMCEC’s Municipal Traffic Safety Initiatives (MTSI) grant, funded by the Texas Department of Transportation, was piloted on October 1, 2006. MTSI’s purpose is to promote traffic safety through Texas municipal courts and schools. This is achieved by offering transportation and traffic safety-related courses at judicial education seminars and through webinars, distributing free materials, recognizing as models those municipal courts that demonstrate excellence in traffic safety outreach, and conducting teacher workshops for educators. Reaching thousands of municipal judges, court personnel, and teachers every year, MTSI plays an integral role in making Texas roads safer.
