Opportunity Summary:
This discretionary grant opportunity, funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with input from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), focuses on improving pedestrian safety by pilot testing a tool called A Resident's Guide for Creating Safe and Walkable Communities. The Resident's Guide was developed in fiscal year 2007 as a practical, user-friendly resource for people and groups who want to make their neighborhoods more walkable and safer for pedestrians. It is intended to work for a wide range of users, from residents who are just starting to learn about walking safety to established community safety organizations already engaged in local action.
A key feature of the guide is that it addresses the "three E's" commonly used in traffic safety and pedestrian programs: education, enforcement, and engineering. In practice, that means the guide offers ways to identify walkability and safety problems, consider potential treatments, and pursue solutions that may include public awareness and behavior change efforts (education), strategies related to laws and compliance (enforcement), and changes to the built environment such as roadway or crossing improvements (engineering). The overall goal of the funding is not primarily to build infrastructure directly, but to test how well the guide works in real communities and to gather structured feedback to strengthen the guide's content.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically implies an active partnership between the federal agency and the recipient rather than a hands-off pass-through award. NHTSA expects to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000 (no stated award floor). Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the selected recipient must contribute non-federal resources or otherwise meet the match requirement as specified in the full announcement.
Under the Cooperative Agreement, the selected recipient is expected to be a national organization that can coordinate with local governments or community partners and administer up to 12 mini-grants. These mini-grants are meant to support a set of pilot communities in using the Resident's Guide and then evaluating it. Participating communities would provide feedback on whether the guide is useful, whether the content is complete, what parts are unclear or missing, and what improvements or modifications are needed so the guide can better support real-world pedestrian safety and walkability work.
Eligibility is aimed at state and local governments or agencies, and the opportunity is categorized under pedestrian safety within NHTSA's discretionary safety grants (CFDA 20.614). The opportunity was originally posted July 8, 2008, with an application deadline of August 22, 2008, and an archive date of September 21, 2008.
