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

The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation a $1.9 million formula grant under the National Priority Safety Programs CFDA 20.616 for fiscal years 2022 through 2025. The grant funds the State Traffic Safety Information System Improvements program, which is designed to encourage states to address national highway safety priorities such as occupant protection and impaired driving. With this funding, PennDOT will enhance its traffic safety data collection and analysis capabilities to better inform countermeasure programs aimed at reducing traffic crashes, deaths and injuries on Pennsylvania roads through 2025. A portion of the funding will also support highway safety projects conducted by the North Central Highway Safety Network, Inc., including data analysis and countermeasure development activities.
