The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Government of District of Columbia, Department of Transportation, $270,268.39 on October 1, 2025, under the Section 405(g) Nonmotorized Safety Grant program (CFDA 20.616, National Priority Safety Programs). The award funds programs to decrease nonmotorized road user fatalities involving motor vehicles in transit on trafficways. The District of Columbia qualifies for this funding because its 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. Performance extends through September 30, 2029, with place of performance in Washington, DC. The recipient will implement countermeasure strategies detailed in an approved Annual Grant Application and Triennial Highway Safety Plan to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities. Federal share is reimbursed on claims submitted in vouchers covering costs incurred.
