Section 402 state and community highway safety grant

The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) received a $158,852.62 Formula Grant award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under the State and Community Highway Safety program (CFDA 20.600).

This award will fund NDDOT's implementation of highway safety programs and services from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025. As the designated State Highway Safety Office, NDDOT will administer the grant at the state level consistent with NHTSA's goal of reducing traffic crashes and resulting deaths, injuries, and property damage. Specific initiatives may include enforcement of laws aimed at reducing alcohol-impaired or drug-impaired operation of motor vehicles and increasing use of seat belts and child safety seats. The funding and period of performance indicate NDDOT will have resources to deliver a sustained set of highway safety programs to North Dakota municipalities over the four-year grant period.
