Section 402 state and community highway safety grant

The Texas Department of Transportation was awarded a $29,269,309.90 Formula Grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under the State and Community Highway Safety program (CFDA 20.600). The grant will support state and community highway safety efforts from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025.

The State and Community Highway Safety program is administered through state governments to support data-driven programs aimed at reducing traffic crashes and resulting deaths, injuries, and property damage. Funding supports state and local initiatives such as education, enforcement, and engineering countermeasures addressing priorities like impaired driving, occupant protection, distracted driving, and other behaviors that contribute to crashes. Under this award, the Texas Department of Transportation will deliver highway safety programs to communities across the state from 2021 through 2025.
