The Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Connecticut Department of Transportation a $2,945,250 Formula Grant under the National Priority Safety Programs (CFDA 20.616) program. The grant will support enforcement of the state's distracted driving laws through educational advertising, placement of traffic signs, and law enforcement activities from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2026. Flexibilities allow funds to also support any eligible uses under the Section 402 grant program, which aims to encourage states to address national highway safety priorities like occupant protection and impaired driving countermeasures. As the state agency recipient, the Connecticut Governor's Office will oversee delivery of the distracted driving countermeasures through the Connecticut Department of Transportation.
