Section 402 state and community highway safety grant (23 C.F.R. Subpart b to part 1300; 23 U.S.C. & 402) - grant to conduct highway safety programs under the state's approved highway safety plan

The Vermont Agency of Transportation received a $2.9 million Section 402 State and Community Highway Safety formula grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to conduct highway safety programs under the state's approved highway safety plan from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2026. The funding will support the state's implementation of its data-driven highway safety countermeasures aimed at reducing traffic crashes, deaths, and injuries on its roadways through the State and Community Highway Safety grant program. Administered at the federal level by NHTSA and at the state level by State Highway Safety Offices, this formula grant program provides funds for states to implement programs proven effective in changing driving behavior and strengthening law enforcement activities related to alcohol and drug impaired driving, speeding, occupant protection, and other traffic safety priorities.
