The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Arkansas State Police $660,470.02 on October 1, 2025, under the Section 405(c) State Traffic Safety Information System Improvements Grant (CFDA 20.616, National Priority Safety Programs). The award funds improvements in the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, uniformity, accessibility, or integration of core highway safety databases. Performance runs through September 30, 2029, with place of performance in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Arkansas State Police, as the recipient, passes funding to the Arkansas Department of Health as a sub-recipient to conduct EMS Injury Surveillance Data Collection. The Section 405(c) program supports state traffic records coordinating committees and requires recipients to maintain a designated TRCC coordinator and an approved state traffic records strategic plan. Eligible states must demonstrate quantitative measurable progress on at least one program attribute—accuracy, completeness, timeliness, uniformity, accessibility, or integration of traffic records data. Funding is apportioned by statutory formula and conditioned on an approved triennial highway safety plan and annual grant application detailing countermeasure strategies to reduce motor vehicle crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
