Section 405(D) impaired driving countermeasures grant

The Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety received a $342,099.77 Formula Grant award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under the National Priority Safety Programs CFDA #20.616. The grant will fund impaired driving countermeasures programs and services from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona.

As a formula grant, funding is distributed based on a predetermined formula as outlined in the authorizing statute. The National Priority Safety Programs aim to encourage states to address data-driven highway safety priorities including occupant protection, traffic records, and impaired driving countermeasures. It can be inferred the Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety will use the funding to implement programs and services over the four-year period to reduce impaired driving in the state, in alignment with the federal grant program's objectives.
