The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the State of Delaware Department of Safety & Homeland Security $270,268.39 on October 1, 2025, under the Section 405(G) Nonmotorized Safety Grant program (CFDA 20.616, National Priority Safety Programs).

The grant funds programs designed to decrease nonmotorized road user fatalities involving motor vehicles in transit on trafficways. Delaware qualifies for this 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 recipient will implement countermeasure strategies detailed in an approved triennial Highway Safety Plan and annual grant application to help reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes involving nonmotorized road users.

The award carries a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029, with place of performance in Leipsic, Delaware. Funds are apportioned using the statutory apportionment formula and provided to the State and Territorial Highway Safety Office based on the approved plans, which detail problem identification, public participation and engagement, performance measures, and countermeasure strategies for programming funds.
