Funding is apportioned using a statutory formula and provided based on an approved Triennial Highway Safety Plan detailing problem identification, public participation and engagement, performance measures, and countermeasure strategies, along with an approved Annual Grant Application detailing planned projects using identified countermeasure strategies.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029. Place of performance is Blythewood, South Carolina. This is a formula grant assistance type.
