Child Passenger Safety Education Program

ACH Injury Prevention Center - Booster Seat Safety Nine out of ten car seats are installed incorrectly. The mission of the Child Passenger Safety Education (CPSE) Program is to reduce the number of deaths and injuries to children involved in automobile crashes by educating the public on all aspects of child passenger safety.

Current activities of the CPSE Program include:

Conducting National Highway Traffic Safety Administration child passenger (CPS) training courses.
Providing educational workshops on the basics of child passenger safety.
Loaning child safety seats through a fitting station for parents and caregivers.
Conducting child safety seat check-ups for parents and caregivers to ensure correct installation of child seats.
Coordinating a statewide child safety seat distribution program for communities with certified child passenger safety technicians. This distribution program is to provide seed resources to organizations that have or are establishing CPS activities or have unique opportunities to access children from vulnerable populations throughout the state.

Funding for the Child Passenger Safety Program originates with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and is administered thought the Highway Safety Office of the Arkansas State Police.
