On Thursday, the Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced that it would release nearly $260 million in highway safety grants nationwide.
As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the funds will be distributed to Highway Safety Offices in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, United States territories, and the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs. The funds, which will be used to address traffic safety on American roads, represent a 31 percent increase over the previous fiscal year’s funding level.
