The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded Rhode Island DOT $270,268.39 on October 1, 2025, under the National Priority Safety Programs formula grant (CFDA 20.616), Section 405(g) Nonmotorized Safety Grant authority, to support programs that decrease nonmotorized road user fatalities involving motor vehicles.

Rhode Island qualified 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 award funds countermeasure strategies and projects detailed in Rhode Island's approved Triennial Highway Safety Plan and Annual Grant Application, targeting reductions in crashes, injuries, and fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes involving pedestrians and cyclists.

The period of performance runs through September 30, 2029. Work is performed in Providence, Rhode Island.

The Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council received a sub-award (69A3752630000405GRI0-BGSP2602, awarded October 1, 2025) to deliver the 405G WRWC Red Shed Bicycle Safety Programs for Youth.

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.
