This $1,017,321.58 Formula Grant award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under the State and Community Highway Safety program (CFDA 20.600) will fund the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to conduct highway safety programs and deliver a range of transportation safety initiatives across the state. The funding supports FDOT's implementation of its approved triennial Highway Safety Plan, which includes problem identification, public engagement, performance measurement, and evidence-based countermeasure strategies to reduce traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities. Key activities to be supported by this award include occupant protection, impaired driving prevention, traffic records improvements, emergency medical services, and non-motorized safety enhancements. FDOT may sub-award portions of the funding to local government partners such as Orange County, Osceola County, and cities like Hollywood, Boynton Beach, Hallandale Beach, and Stuart to deliver targeted transportation safety projects and programs in their communities.
