Set legal limits for drivers’ blood alcohol concentrations (BACs)

Expand broadband availability and adoption in unserved and underserved areas through initiatives that address infrastructure and cost barriers

Help participants share transportation via informal arrangements between individuals, formally arranged ridesharing programs, or other ride-matching services
