Summary: Forecasted federal grants for modernizing statewide crash-data systems to support electronic collection, intrastate sharing, and standardized transfer to NHTSA. Eligible entities were designated statewide crash-data owners or custodians in states and specified jurisdictions, plus the Secretary of the Interior acting on behalf of an Indian Tribe.

NHTSA forecast discretionary grants for states and covered jurisdictions to establish, upgrade, and standardize statewide crash-data systems. Supported activities included centralized repository equipment, electronic crash reporting by law-enforcement agencies, alignment with national crash-data criteria, intrastate data sharing, and standardized electronic transfer to NHTSA.

The forecast narrative states that recipients would contribute at least 20% of state funds for eligible activity costs and certify that electronic transfer to NHTSA would begin no later than five years after award. This record was only a forecast, and its March 20, 2024 date was an estimated application-response date—not a confirmed deadline under the subsequently issued NOFO.

Who is eligible?

Applicant types: State governments and designated statewide crash-data owners or custodians in the covered states and jurisdictions; the Secretary of the Interior acting on behalf of an Indian Tribe is also named.

Statewide crash-data owners and custodians for the 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, plus the Secretary of the Interior acting on behalf of an Indian Tribe. Where multiple entities are responsible for a statewide repository, the state was to coordinate and appoint one application point of contact. A law-enforcement agency would qualify directly only if it served as the applicable statewide crash-data owner or custodian; local law-enforcement agencies were not separately listed as direct applicants.

What can the funding be used for?

Establish, upgrade, or standardize statewide crash-data systems; purchase equipment to upgrade a centralized statewide crash-data repository; adopt electronic crash reporting by law-enforcement agencies; align state crash data with the forthcoming Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria Sixth Edition; enable intrastate data sharing; and transfer standardized crash data electronically to NHTSA using the Information Exchange Package Documentation protocol.

How to apply

This record was a forecast, and the NOFO was still under development. Prospective applicants were encouraged to develop a plan describing the project, tasks, and steps needed for full electronic transfer to NHTSA and to subscribe on Grants.gov for updates. The source identifies a later related opportunity, 693JJ924R000025, posted January 31, 2024 and closed May 15, 2024; that later opportunity must be consulted for final application requirements and deadlines.
