The State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) received a $151,457.68 Formula Grant award under the National Priority Safety Programs (CFDA 20.616) from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The grant supports data program improvements to enhance the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, uniformity, accessibility, or integration of FDOT's core highway safety databases. These funds are provided to FDOT based on an approved triennial highway safety plan and annual grant application, which detail planned projects using identified countermeasure strategies to help reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes. FDOT may further sub-award portions of this federal funding to county and municipal governments across Florida to enable the delivery of local transportation safety initiatives.
