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

The Vermont Agency of Transportation was awarded a $391,567.35 Formula Grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under the National Priority Safety Programs (CFDA 20.616) to support improvements to the state's traffic safety information systems from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025. The grant funding will be used to support data program improvements through two sub-awards totaling the full award amount. The Vermont Department of Public Safety will receive funding to enhance the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, uniformity, accessibility, and integration of core highway safety databases. Additionally, the Vermont Agency of Human Services will also receive funding under the award to support similar data program improvements. The National Priority Safety Programs formula grant aims to encourage states to address national highway safety priority areas such as occupant protection, impaired driving countermeasures, and traffic records through grants for data collection and analysis efforts.
