The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) received a $248,674.64 Formula Grant award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under the National Priority Safety Programs. The grant funding will support certain costs of Virginia's alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures programs from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2026 consistent with 23 C.F.R. § 1300.23(j).

Specifically, the grant funds will help Virginia address the national priority area of impaired driving as identified under the NHTSA's National Priority Safety Programs (CFDA #20.616). This federal grant program encourages states to reduce impaired driving through activities such as occupant protection programs and state traffic safety information system improvements. The Virginia DMV will utilize the funding to deliver services and programs that support the state's efforts to combat alcohol-impaired driving during the four-year period of performance.
