The Georgia Department of Public Safety has received a $581,464.81 federal Formula Grant from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under the State and Community Highway Safety (CFDA 20.600) program. This grant award, effective October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2027, will support data program improvements in the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, uniformity, accessibility, or integration of core highway safety databases for the state of Georgia. As the designated State Highway Safety Office, the Department will use these funds to implement its approved highway safety plan, which details problem identification, performance measures, and countermeasure strategies to help reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes across the state. The Department may also sub-award portions of the grant to local government and community partners for targeted traffic safety initiatives.

Section 405(c) funding is avialable for state traffic safety information system improvements. Qualifying states are those that have a traffic records coordinating committee (trcc); designated trcc coordinator; and an approved state traffic records strategic plan. These funds are apportioned using statutory apportionment formula. These funds are provided to the state and territorial highway safety offices based on an approved triennial highway safety plan that details problem identification, public participation and engagement, performance measures, countermeasure strategies for programming funds and an approved annual grant application that details planned projects using identified countermeasure strategies for programming funds to help reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes.
