WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley said today that the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has awarded a $1,333,456.30 grant to Iowa through the E-911 Grant Program.
"These funds will help upgrade emergency response systems with automatic location information so personnel can better respond to emergencies," Grassley said.
The E-911 Grant Program provides states with funds to help implement technologies to deliver wireless 9-1-1 calls with automatic location information.
