The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the California Office of Traffic Safety $4,866,604.57 on October 1, 2025, under the Section 405(c) State Traffic Safety Information System Improvements Grant, a formula grant component of the National Priority Safety Programs (CFDA 20.616).

The award supports data program improvements in the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, uniformity, accessibility, or integration of core highway safety databases. California qualifies through its designated Traffic Records Coordinating Committee, designated TRCC coordinator, and approved State Traffic Records Strategic Plan. The funding is apportioned using statutory formula and requires implementation of strategies to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes.

The period of performance extends from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029. Performance takes place in Elk Grove, California. The California Office of Traffic Safety, the state's designated highway safety office, administers the award as the recipient and coordinates implementation with local agencies and community organizations statewide. Recipients retain records for three years following submission of final expenditure reports and other project deliverables, including all project contract documents, financial records, and supporting documentation pending audit resolution. The federal share is reimbursed on claims submitted in vouchers covering costs incurred.
