GATHERING DATA
TITLE:State and Community Highway Safety Program (Section 402)
TYPE:Federal
AGENCY:National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Federal Highway Administration
DESCRIPTION:

Highway Safety Funds are used to support State and community programs to reduce deaths and injuries on the highways. In each State, funds are administered by the Governor's Representative for Highway Safety. Pedestrian Safety has been identified as a National Priority Area and is therefore eligible for Section 402 funds. 402 funds can be used for a variety of safety initiatives including conducting data analyses, developing safety education programs, and conducting community-wide pedestrian safety campaigns. Since the 402 Program is jointly administered by NHTSA and FHWA, Highway Safety Funds can also be used for some limited safety-related engineering projects.

HOW TO GET:For information on how to apply for Section 402 Highway Safety Funds, contact your Governor's Representative for Highway Safety. (See Contact Listing)
