Section 402 state and community highway safety grant

The Oregon Department of Transportation received a $4,975,611.91 formula grant award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under the State and Community Highway Safety program (CFDA 20.600) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025.

The State and Community Highway Safety program aims to reduce traffic crashes and resulting deaths, injuries, and property damage. As the designated state administering agency, the Oregon Department of Transportation will utilize the formula grant funding to administer the State's highway safety program at the local level. This includes coordinating with community partners to implement strategies, activities, and projects focused on behavioral highway safety issues such as impaired driving, speeding, and lack of proper restraint use. The funding will also support data analysis and reporting requirements under the program.
