The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the Nevada Department of Public Safety $270,268.39 on October 1, 2025, under the Section 405(g) Nonmotorized Safety Grant program (CFDA 20.616, National Priority Safety Programs) to support programs decreasing nonmotorized road user fatalities involving motor vehicles.

Nevada qualifies for this formula grant because its 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. The State Fire Marshal Division, which operates as Nevada's designated State Highway Safety Office, administers the award to implement countermeasure strategies and planned projects that help reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes consistent with an approved triennial highway safety plan and annual grant application.

The award obligates $270,268.39 with a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029. Work is performed at the State Fire Marshal Division headquarters in Carson City, Nevada. The division passes through funding to sub-recipients including local law enforcement agencies, county governments, hospitals, nonprofit organizations, and educational institutions across Nevada to deliver behavioral highway safety programs, public education campaigns, law enforcement training, and traffic safety awareness initiatives focused on nonmotorized safety.

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.
