The funding supports data program improvements in the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, uniformity, accessibility, or integration of core highway safety databases consistent with 23 C.F.R. 1300.22(d).

The grant is obligated for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029, with place of performance in Atlanta, Georgia. Work implemented through this funding is intended to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes through countermeasure strategies detailed in Georgia's approved triennial highway safety plan and annual grant application.

The Section 405(c) program provides formula grants to state and territorial highway safety offices based on statutory apportionment. Funds are reimbursed on claims submitted in vouchers covering costs incurred; all participants use the Electronic Transfer of Funds method. Georgia Department of Public Safety retains records for three years following submission of a final expenditure report and other project deliverables, including all project contract documents, financial records, and supporting documents pending resolution of audit findings.
