Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 05/01/2024
Size of the Grant: More than $1 million
Grant Duration: 5 Years
Details:
State Electronic Data Collection (SEDC) program to provide grants to States to upgrade and standardize state crash data systems to enable full electronic data transfer to NHTSA, which includes enabling electronic data collection, intrastate data sharing, and electronic data transfer to NHTSA to increase the accuracy, timeliness, and accessibility of the data, including data relating to fatalities involving vulnerable road users. This program implements the BIL SEDC grant program.
NHTSA is an operating administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) with a mission to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce economic costs due to road traffic crashes, through education, research, safety standards, and enforcement. Through the SEDC grant program, DOT expects the expanded availability, timeliness, and accessibility of reportable crash data will create a system that will more rapidly and comprehensively identify recent changes, expand the number of insights derived from the data, and better enable analysis to inform policy and decision making. Once States have fully implemented the activities funded through this NOFO, NHTSA expects to publish crash data collected through grant recipients for public use.
