Governor Earl Ray Tomblin has awarded grants to 36 projects as part of the 2012 Transportation Enhancement Grant Program.

The program provides funding for non traditional transportation projects such as improving safety for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Counties in our area received money for projects that included sidewalk or crosswalk safety.
