Section 405(g) nonmotorized safety grant (23 C.F.R. § 1300.26; 23 U.S.C. § 405(g)) ― grant to support programs to decrease nonmotorized road user fatalities involving a motor vehicle in transit on…

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Colorado Department of Transportation $559,948.43 on October 1, 2025, under the National Priority Safety Programs formula grant (CFDA 20.616), specifically the Section 405(g) Nonmotorized Safety Grant component, to support programs that decrease nonmotorized road user fatalities involving motor vehicles on trafficways.

Colorado qualifies for 405(g) funding because the state's annual combined nonmotorized road user fatalities exceed 15 percent of the state's total annual crash fatalities, as determined by NHTSA using the most recent calendar year for which final FARS data are available. The award funds countermeasure strategies and planned projects designed to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes involving nonmotorized road users, subject to an approved triennial highway safety plan and annual grant application that detail problem identification, public participation and engagement, performance measures, and programming strategies.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029. Work is performed in Denver, Colorado. The funding is apportioned using the statutory apportionment formula and provided to Colorado's highway safety office based on the approved triennial plan and annual application. Federal reimbursement follows claims submitted in vouchers covering incurred costs through the Electronic Transfer of Funds method.

Section 405(g) nonmotorized safety grant (23 C.F.R. § 1300.26; 23 U.S.C. § 405(g)) ― grant to support programs to decrease nonmotorized road user fatalities involving a motor vehicle in transit on a trafficway consistent with 23 C.F.R. § 1300.26(e). 405(g) funding is available to qualifying states where the state's annual combined nonmotorized road user fatalities exceed 15 percent of the state's total annual crash fatalities based on the most recent calendar year for which final fars data are available, as determined by nhtsa. 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.
