Los Angeles County continues to have a high rate of motorcycle collision deaths and injuries within the California Highway Patrol's jurisdiction.
To assist in its efforts to combat this problem, the CHP has been awarded a two-year grant.
Officers from the CHP's Santa Fe Springs Area office will implement traffic safety programs focusing on motorcycle fatalities and injuries throughout the county.
The project will encompass enhanced enforcement including aerial support and a public education campaign.
Today, Aug. 29, seven CHP patrol cars and motorcycles will patrol area freeways; state routes 60 and 91, I-605 and I-5.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
