The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the California Office of Traffic Safety $196,227.65 on October 1, 2025, under the Section 405(g) Nonmotorized Safety Grant program (CFDA 20.616, National Priority Safety Programs) to support programs that decrease nonmotorized road user fatalities involving motor vehicles in transit on trafficways.

Funding is available to qualifying states where 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 final FARS data. California qualified for this funding based on that metric. The award is apportioned using a statutory formula and provided based on an approved triennial highway safety plan and annual grant application detailing problem identification, public participation and engagement, performance measures, and countermeasure strategies to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities from motor vehicle crashes.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029, with place of performance in Elk Grove, California. The California Office of Traffic Safety, designated as California's state highway safety office, receives and administers the funds as the state entity responsible for implementing federal highway safety grant programs across California.
