County Of Butte

Butte County Public Health Department, a California county government entity, is a recipient of federal transportation safety and public health grants (29% of recent awards as a prime recipient) and primarily operates as a sub-recipient of immunization, family planning, traffic safety, and pedestrian safety sub-grants from state and federal agencies (71% of recent awards).

Butte County Public Health Department is structured as a local government entity under California state authority, headquartered in Oroville, California. The department does not hold federal contracts and does not sit on federal contract vehicles. Its federal footprint consists entirely of grant and sub-grant work focused on community health and transportation safety delivery.

As a prime grant recipient, Butte County Public Health Department has received two awards from the Federal Highway Administration under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program (CFDA 20.939): a $1.93 million Project Grant awarded on February 13, 2026, for the Butte County Planning and Demonstration Project, with completion scheduled for February 13, 2031, and an earlier SS4A award dated September 20, 2023, with completion on September 30, 2025. The 2026 grant supports roadway safety planning, stakeholder engagement, data analysis, and implementation of safety action plans and targeted behavioral and infrastructure strategies to prevent fatalities and serious injuries for all road users. As a sub-recipient, Butte County Public Health Department receives immunization and vaccine-preventable-disease prevention funding through the California Department of Public Health under the CDC's grant programs (CFDA 93.268), with recent sub-awards dated March 4, 2025, and fiscal 2025-26 funding for local health department immunization programs. The department also operates sub-grants in family planning from Essential Access Health (dated April 1, 2023) and in child passenger safety and pedestrian and bicycle safety programs from the California Office of Traffic Safety (both dated October 1, 2022).

Activity has remained flat across the source window: two awards in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2025, and one in 2026, totaling seven awards (prime and sub combined) with $3.1 million in combined federal dollars obligated. The department serves four distinct customer agencies: the Federal Highway Administration and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (both under Department of Transportation), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (both under Department of Health and Human Services). The 2025 SS4A grant completes on September 30, 2025, representing the nearest recompete opportunity; the 2026 grant extends through February 13, 2031.
