Section 405(c) state traffic safety information system improvements grant

The Nebraska Department of Transportation received a $505,536 Formula Grant award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under the National Priority Safety Programs CFDA 20.616. The grant funding will support three projects from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2025 aimed at improving Nebraska's traffic safety information systems.

Specifically, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services will receive sub-awards to improve electronic health data and implement the Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System to better analyze traffic incident outcomes. Additionally, the Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice will use a sub-award to enhance electronic citations and traffic records systems. The projects appear aligned with the federal program's goal of encouraging states to address national highway safety priorities through data system improvements.
