DOS impaired driving campaign statewide DOS impaired driving campaign

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) received a Formula Grant award of $325,384.38 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective May 6, 2025. This award supports the DOS Impaired Driving Campaign Statewide initiative, which is designed to address public safety concerns related to impaired driving across New Hampshire. The funding enables the state transportation authority to develop and implement a comprehensive statewide campaign that promotes awareness and prevention of impaired driving, consistent with FHWA's broader transportation safety enhancement objectives.

As a Formula Grant administered through the Federal-aid Highway Program, this award reflects FHWA's statutory allocation to New Hampshire based on established formulas and follows the federally assisted, state-administered program model. The Highway Planning and Construction program authorizes funding for safety activities and enhancements, of which impaired driving awareness campaigns constitute an eligible transportation safety initiative. NHDOT, as the designated state transportation department, assumes responsibility for campaign administration, implementation, and compliance with applicable federal requirements under 23 CFR and 49 CFR regulations.
