TIM safety kits phase III

Federal Grant Award Summary

The Nebraska Department of Transportation received a $500,000 formula grant award from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on July 22, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). This award funds the procurement of Traffic Incident Management (TIM) Safety Kits Phase III, which are specialized equipment and materials designed to enhance safety response capabilities during traffic incidents on Nebraska's transportation network. The TIM Safety Kits represent a critical component of the state's highway safety infrastructure, enabling rapid and effective incident management to minimize disruptions and protect both responders and motorists.

The Highway Planning and Construction program, authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, provides federal financial assistance to states for highway safety improvements and related transportation infrastructure enhancements. As a formula grant under this program, the funding allocation to Nebraska reflects the state's statutory entitlement based on established federal distribution methodologies. The procurement of incident management safety kits aligns with the program's eligible activities supporting traffic safety improvements and represents NDOT's continued investment in operational infrastructure to support its comprehensive transportation safety mission across the state.
