Section 402 state and community highway safety grant

The Nevada Department of Public Safety received a $192,126.20 Formula Grant award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under the State and Community Highway Safety federal grant program (CFDA 20.600). The grant funding will support the department's delivery of highway safety initiatives from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025.

As the designated State Highway Safety Office, the Nevada Department of Public Safety will implement programs to reduce traffic crashes and resulting deaths, injuries, and property damage. The State and Community Highway Safety program administered by NHTSA provides formula grants to states to address priorities such as occupant protection, impaired driving, distracted driving, and other behaviors that lead to crashes on roads and highways. The Nevada Department of Public Safety will use this funding to deliver services focused on these priority traffic safety issues over the four-year grant period.
