The Traffic Safety Commission, Washington's designated State Highway Safety Office located in Olympia, administers the award. Period of performance runs through September 30, 2029. The Commission implements highway safety programs statewide in coordination with state and local partners, including law enforcement agencies, and administers multiple NHTSA grant programs. Funds are reimbursed on submitted vouchers for incurred costs through electronic funds transfer.
