The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) was awarded a $150,000 Formula Grant under the State and Community Highway Safety (CFDA 20.600) program administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This multi-year grant, with an initial period of performance from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027, will support WYDOT's implementation of its approved Triennial Highway Safety Plan. The grant funds will be used by WYDOT to conduct a coordinated set of highway safety programs and initiatives aimed at reducing traffic crashes, deaths, injuries, and property damage across the state. Specific activities may include occupant protection, impaired driving prevention, traffic records improvements, emergency medical services, and non-motorized safety enhancements. WYDOT plans to sub-award portions of the grant funding to local government partners for targeted highway safety projects and programs in their communities.

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.
