The Nevada Department Of Public Safety received a $180,601.07 Formula Grant award from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under the State and Community Highway Safety program (CFDA 20.600). This multi-year grant, with a period of performance from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027, provides funding to the State's Fire Marshal Division to implement a range of behavioral safety initiatives focused on reducing traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities across Nevada. Key activities supported by this grant include traffic safety education programs, impaired driving countermeasures, occupant protection efforts, and data-driven community safety projects. The Division partners with local law enforcement, universities, non-profits, and other Nevada agencies as sub-recipients to deliver these grant-funded activities throughout the state.

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.

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.
