The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the North Carolina Department of Transportation $1,361,108.80 on October 1, 2025, under the Section 405(C) State Traffic Safety Information System Improvements Grant (CFDA 20.616, National Priority Safety Programs) to support 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 award funds activities by North Carolina's Division of Aviation, which serves as the state's traffic safety authority, to enhance the state's traffic records coordinating committee operations and implement improvements to highway safety databases that support crash reduction, injury prevention, and fatality reduction across the state. North Carolina qualified for this formula apportionment by establishing a Traffic Records Coordinating Committee with a designated coordinator and an approved state traffic records strategic plan. Funding supports countermeasure strategies detailed in the state's approved triennial highway safety plan and annual grant application, which identify evidence-based projects to reduce motor vehicle crashes and their consequences.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029. Work is performed in Raleigh, North Carolina. The assistance type is a formula grant. The obligated amount is $1,361,108.80.

Section 405(c) state traffic safety information system improvements grant (23 C.F.R. § 1300.22; 23 U.S.C. § 405(c)) ― grant to support 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). Section 405(c) funding is avialable for state traffic safety information system improvements. Qualifying states are those that have a traffic records coordinating committee (trcc); designated trcc coordinator; and an approved state traffic records strategic plan. These funds are apportioned using statutory apportionment formula. These funds are provided to the state and territorial highway safety offices based on an approved triennial highway safety plan that details problem identification, public participation and engagement, performance measures, countermeasure strategies for programming funds and an approved annual grant application that details planned projects using identified countermeasure strategies for programming funds to help reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes.
