Tennessee Governor's Highway Safety Office Grants

Grant Details:
Application Due Date: April 2012 est

Description: 

The Governor’s Highway Safety Office provides grants to programs which are designed to reduce the number of fatalities, injuries and related economic losses resulting from traffic crashes on Tennessee’s roadways. Local governments, law enforcement agencies, academic institutions, and private non-profits can apply for National Highway Safety Transportation Administration pass-through funding for projects related to various areas of highway safety. Eligible project areas are included in the State of Tennessee’s Highway Safety Performance Plan.

Agencies can apply for funding in the following areas:

* Alcohol countermeasures
* Youth alcohol and traffic safety
* Occupant protection: seatbelt and child passenger safety
* Police traffic services
* Traffic records
* EMS
* Safe communities, pedestrian safety, pupil transportation
* Roadway safety
* Motorcycle safety

If you serve a county that has a greater than average rate of crash problems based on the 2005-2009 ranking (click here to view) you may qualify for a grant.

* To view grant request for proposals (RFPs) go to http://www.tenngrants.org/ (By clicking here you will leave the official TDOT Website). If your project plan involves the goal of reducing some category of motor vehicle crash in your jurisdiction, you MUST provide the following:
1. Three years of baseline statistics from your jurisdiction that are relevant to the category of crash you intend to reduce; for example, alcohol-related crashes.
2. Comparative crash statistics from other similar jurisdictions that indicate your particular crash problem is above average.
3. In the case of counter-DUI proposals that involve enforcement, baseline statistics on the numbers of proactive (i.e., not crash-related) DUI arrests and their associated (non-reduced) DUI conviction rates.

Grant applications begin March 1, 2011 and close on April 8, 2011. Click here to see Tennessee’s Highway Safety Performance Plan (PDF) for more information on the goals and mission of the Governor’s Highway
