The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) received a $3.55 million formula grant award from the Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under the National Priority Safety Programs (CFDA 20.616) to fund Section 405(c) State Traffic Safety Information System Improvements from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025.

The grant funds will support TxDOT's efforts to address national highway safety priorities through improvements to Texas' traffic safety information system. The National Priority Safety Programs formula grant program aims to encourage states to address priority traffic safety issues like occupant protection, impaired driving countermeasures, and state traffic safety information system improvements. TxDOT will leverage the federal funding to enhance Texas' data collection and analysis capabilities to help reduce traffic crashes and associated deaths and injuries on its roadways.
