The OHSO is responsible for developing an annual statewide Highway Safety Plan to decrease fatalities and injuries on Oklahoma roadways.
Most programs and activities of the OHSO fall into the areas of traffic safety education, training, and enforcement enhancement.
A portion of the budget for the OHSO funds programs with the goal of reducing the number and severity of crashes on Oklahoma roadways.
The OHSO issues many grants each federal fiscal year to local and state-wide agencies and organizations in Oklahoma.
A large part of the overall local outreach plan for the OHSO is a grant with the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO).
