About this program
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) funds State Electronic Data Collection (SEDC) Program grants to support States and Territories in modernizing motor vehicle crash data systems and transitioning to standardized, electronic reporting to NHTSA, with CFDA 20.617; the program requires applicants to demonstrate a plan to submit electronic crash data to NHTSA no later than five years after an award.
