Formula Grant 69A37526300004020DE0

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded $2,923,275 to the State of Delaware Department of Safety & Homeland Security on October 1, 2025, under the State and Community Highway Safety program (CFDA 20.600). This formula grant, obligated through September 30, 2029, funds Delaware's implementation of behavioral highway safety initiatives designed to reduce traffic crashes, fatalities, and injuries throughout the state. The grant supports countermeasure strategies and safety programs developed under Delaware's approved triennial Highway Safety Plan and annual grant applications, enabling the state to address locally identified highway safety priorities through evidence-based interventions.

Under this award, Delaware's Safety and Homeland Security Division serves as the state administering agency for federal highway safety grant programs, coordinating comprehensive traffic safety initiatives aligned with national priorities. The funding supports law enforcement training, enforcement mobilizations, public education campaigns, occupant protection initiatives, impaired driving countermeasures, and data system enhancements. The State Highway Safety Office retains flexibility in programming funds to address specific safety challenges identified through Delaware's performance plan, with technical assistance from NHTSA continuously available throughout the grant period.
