A tough economy makes it tougher to meet new standards that require state and local government's monetary contribution. New mandatory standards for road sign visibility improvements add more stress to already tight road and traffic budgets. The Federal Highway Administration's Minimum Levels of Retroreflectivity standard requires state and local governments to assess their road signs and develop a replacement plan for non-compliant road signs that are not bright enough for the dangerous task of night driving.

To help government agencies meet the recent standard, 3M Traffic Safety Systems, a worldwide leader in the transportation safety market, has launched the 3M Sign Grant Program. The program is designed to significantly reduce road sign replacement costs for state and local agencies to meet the standard. 3M will partner with agencies to improve traffic sign brightness and visibility through top-of-the-line technology, while providing significant cost savings.
