This $387,133.10 Formula Grant award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under the State and Community Highway Safety program (CFDA 20.600) supports the Judiciary Courts of the State of Indiana's Policy and Administration Division, doing business as the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI), in conducting highway safety programs across the state.

The grant enables ICJI, as Indiana's designated state planning agency for criminal justice, juvenile justice, traffic safety, and victim services, to implement a coordinated statewide program to reduce traffic crashes, deaths, injuries, and property damage. Funding will be used to support behavioral highway safety initiatives, including impaired driving countermeasures, occupant protection programs, and traffic safety information system improvements, as outlined in Indiana's approved triennial Highway Safety Plan. ICJI will sub-award portions of the grant to local government and community partners for targeted interventions in these areas.

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 triennial highway safety plan. Section 402 funding facilitates a coordinated national highway safety program to reduce traffic crashes, deaths, injuries, and property damage. A state may use these grant funds only for behavioral highway safety purposes. 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.
