Newport Beach police are cracking down on modified vehicle exhausts and drunk driving in a push to make streets safer.

The initiatives were funded through a California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) grant, which receives funding by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) received $237,000 to fund campaigns targeted at reducing deaths and injuries on Newport Beach roads.
