The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the State of Nebraska $1.15 million on October 1, 2025, under the Incentive Grant Program to Prohibit Racial Profiling (CFDA 20.611), a Formula Grant supporting collection and maintenance of data on traffic stops, evaluation of that data, and programs to reduce the impact of traffic stops consistent with federal racial profiling prohibition standards.
The grant funds activities to encourage Nebraska to maintain and allow public inspection of statistical information on the race and ethnicity of drivers for each motor vehicle stop made on public roads except those classified as local or minor rural roads. The funding supports implementation of approved countermeasure strategies detailed in Nebraska's triennial highway safety plan and annual grant application.
The recipient is the State of Nebraska, with place of performance in Lincoln, Nebraska. The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029. Funds obligated total $1.15 million and are available until expended. The state qualifies for these funds by either providing official documentation demonstrating it maintains and allows public inspection of traffic stop data by race and ethnicity, or by providing satisfactory assurances that it will undertake activities and projects to maintain and allow such public inspection during the grant fiscal year.
