The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Oregon Department of Transportation $974,367 under the Minimum Penalties for Repeat Offenders for Driving While Intoxicated federal grant program (CFDA 20.608) from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2026. This formula grant supports alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures in Oregon to avoid the transfer of federal funds under Section 164 of Title 23. Section 164 establishes minimum penalties states must enact and enforce for repeat intoxicated drivers to avoid the transfer of federal highway funding to other states in compliance. The Oregon Department of Transportation will deliver countermeasure programs and services with this funding to help Oregon maintain conformance with the requirements of Section 164 and ensure federal highway funds remain within the state.
