The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Colorado Department of Transportation $831,341.02 on October 1, 2025, under the National Priority Safety Programs formula grant (CFDA 20.616), Section 405(c) State Traffic Safety Information System Improvements component.

The award funds data program improvements in the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, uniformity, accessibility, or integration of core highway safety databases. Colorado qualifies for this funding through its established Traffic Records Coordinating Committee, designated TRCC coordinator, and approved State Traffic Records Strategic Plan. The funds support countermeasure strategies and programming designed to help reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes across Colorado.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029. Work is performed in Denver, Colorado. Under the National Priority Safety Programs structure, Colorado receives this apportionment through statutory formula and must implement the funded projects consistent with its approved triennial highway safety plan and annual grant application, with NHTSA retaining up to 60 days for review and approval of applications and plans.
