AI Contract Overview
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is offering discretionary grants totaling up to $250 million to support the modernization of crash data collection systems across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and eligible Indian Tribes. The program aims to enable electronic, standardized collection of crash data and its secure transfer to NHTSA using the Information Exchange Package Documentation protocol. Eligible applicants include state crash data custodians, and states with multiple responsible entities must designate a single point of contact. Funding can be used to upgrade centralized crash data repositories, implement electronic crash reporting for law enforcement, and align state systems with the forthcoming Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria Sixth Edition. Recipients must provide at least a 20 percent state financial match and certify they will begin electronic data transmission to NHTSA no later than five years after award. The collected data will enhance NHTSA’s ability to analyze crash trends and inform safety interventions, with the resulting datasets made publicly accessible to support highway safety research and policy development. Applicants are strongly encouraged to review NHTSA’s technical guidance documents and register on Grants.gov to receive updates as the solicitation progresses.

Agency Name: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Description: State Electronic Crash Data Collection Program Grant
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis intends to award discretionary grants for the modernization of States’ crash data collection systems. These grants are for States to establish or upgrade and standardize their crash data systems to enable electronic data collection, intra-State sharing, and electronic transfer of their crash data to NHTSA in a standardized format using the Information Exchange Package Documentation (IEPD) data transfer protocol.
NHTSA has a history of working with States to make crash data available to the public to support highway safety. These grants will increase the number of States providing timely, standardized electronic crash data to NHTSA to support NHTSA data systems, including the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), the Crash Reporting Sampling System (CRSS), and the Crash Investigation Sampling System (CISS). The crash data received will enable NHTSA to analyze motor vehicle crash data, identify developing trends, and develop strategies and interventions to prevent and mitigate crash injury severity. NHTSA will make this State crash data accessible to the public.
Grant recipients will be required to contribute at least twenty (20) percent of State funds for eligible activity costs. States can use the funds for equipment to upgrade a centralized statewide crash data repository; adopt electronic crash reporting by law enforcement agencies; and increase alignment of State crash data with the forthcoming Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) Sixth Edition. Recipients will also certify that they will electronically transfer crash data to NHTSA beginning no later than five years from the effective date of award.
This Notice is being published to allow potential applicants enough time to develop a plan to implement full electronic data transfer to NHTSA by no later than five years after the grant is awarded. The plan should describe the project, tasks, and steps that will enable electronic transfer of State crash data to NHTSA. This notification of funding opportunity (NOFO) is currently under development. We encourage prospective applicants to use the Grants.gov subscription option to register for future updates provided for this opportunity.
