The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded a $1,819,080.00 Formula Grant under the Minimum Penalties for Repeat Offenders for Driving While Intoxicated program (CFDA 20.608) to the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission, a state government entity. This 4-year grant, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2028, supports the state's efforts to enact and enforce stringent laws addressing repeat intoxicated driving offenses. The funding will be used for a range of alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures, including law enforcement activities, judicial interventions, public awareness campaigns, overtime enforcement, sobriety checkpoints, law enforcement training, ignition interlock monitoring, and programs designed to reduce recidivism among repeat drunk driving offenders. As the primary state agency responsible for highway safety programs, the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission will sub-award portions of the grant to local law enforcement agencies, sheriff's offices, fire departments, nonprofits, and universities to deliver these comprehensive traffic safety initiatives across the state.
