TxDOT administers this formula grant as the designated state transportation agency, distributing funds to eligible sub-award recipients throughout Texas based on an approved Triennial Highway Safety Plan and Annual Grant Application that detail problem identification, public participation, performance measures, and countermeasure strategies.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029, with place of performance in Austin, Texas. The federal share is reimbursed on claims submitted via Electronic Transfer of Funds. TxDOT must retain project records for three years following submission of a final expenditure report and resolution of any audit findings.
