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

The Washington Traffic Safety Commission received a $994,526.94 formula grant award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under the National Priority Safety Programs federal grant program (CFDA 20.616). The grant will fund the Commission's work to improve Washington state's traffic safety information system from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025. As a formula grant designed to address national highway safety priorities, this award will support the Commission's efforts to enhance the collection and analysis of data related to occupant protection, impaired driving, and other key traffic safety issues. Being able to gather and study more comprehensive data will help the Commission and the Washington Department of Public Instruction, the Commission's parent agency, develop stronger initiatives to reduce accidents and save lives on Washington roads.
