Trump’s Transportation Department Invests $665 Million to Improve Traffic Safety Initiatives, Save LivesNHTSA launches eGrants platform to help states get needed resources faster

The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today invested $665 million into traffic safety initiatives that protect Americans on roadways. This funding provides state highway safety offices with critical resources to address their most challenging traffic safety issues such as distracted driving, unbelted driving, impaired driving, and excessive speed. States may use these resources for traffic enforcement activities, child safety seat clinics, post-crash care, and public education.

"Under Secretary Duffy, we are supporting states, law enforcement, and paramedics with the resources they need to do their jobs and keep American families safe," said NHTSA Administrator Jonathan Morrison. "We are partnering with states across America to target traffic risks and save lives."

Award amounts allocated to each state and territory are available on NHTSA's website.

NHTSA also launched the second major element of its modernized electronic grants management system, known as eGrants. This will ease the process by which states apply for grants.

"Thanks to NHTSA's new-and-improved eGrants software, states can more seamlessly apply for, manage, and track federal safety resources," Administrator Morrison added. "This launch marks a pivotal step in NHTSA's efforts to modernize its formula grant program, streamlining how states access funding."
