The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the State of Florida Department of Transportation $1,018,105.61 on October 1, 2025, under the State and Community Highway Safety program (CFDA 20.600), a Section 402 formula grant to conduct highway safety programs under Florida's approved Highway Safety Plan.

The grant funds behavioral highway safety purposes, including projects and countermeasure strategies to reduce traffic crashes, deaths, injuries, and property damage resulting from motor vehicle crashes. Florida identifies specific safety problems, engages the public, establishes performance measures, and selects countermeasure strategies to program the funds toward crash reduction.
