The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded $1.484 million to the Washington Traffic Safety Commission through the Minimum Penalties for Repeat Offenders for Driving While Intoxicated federal grant program (CFDA 20.608). The funding supports alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures in Washington from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025. As the designated state agency, the Washington Traffic Safety Commission will implement countermeasures to encourage the enactment and enforcement of repeat intoxicated driver laws, which establish minimum specified penalties for repeat offenders. The Commission, a division of the Washington Department of Public Instruction, will deliver services to curb alcohol-impaired driving using the federal grant funds.
