Abstract: The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST), Pub. L. 114-94, authorizes the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to issue highway safety grants to States under Chapter 4 of Title 23, U.S.C. Specifically, these grant programs include the Highway Safety Program grants (23 U.S.C. 402 or Section 402), the National Priority Safety Program grants (23 U.S.C. 405 or Section 405) and a separate grant on racial profiling data collection contained in a previous authorization that was revised and restored under the FAST Act (Pub. L. 109-59, Sec. 1906 or Section 1906, as amended by Sec. 4011, Pub. L. 114-94). For all of these grants, as directed in statute, NHTSA uses a consolidated application process that relies on the Highway Safety Plan (HSP) States submit under the Section 402 program as a single application. The information required to be submitted for these grants includes the HSP, consisting of information on the highway safety planning process, performance report, performance plan, problem identification, highway safety countermeasure strategies, planned activities and funding amounts, certifications and assurances, and application materials that cover Section 405 grants and the reauthorized Section 1906 grant. States also must submit an annual report evaluating their progress in achieving performance targets. In addition, as part of the statutory criteria for Section 405 grants covering the areas of occupant protection, traffic safety information system improvements and impaired driving countermeasures, States may be required to receive assessments of their State programs in order to receive a grant. States must provide information and respond to questions as part of the assessment process. Consistent with the statute, NHTSA recently issued a Final Rule (83 FR 3466, Jan. 25, 2018) that creates uniform procedures for States to apply for grant funds. These procedures specify the information that is required to be submitted to receive a grant and the type of information required to verify performance under the grants.
