Opportunity Summary:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), within the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), announced a discretionary cooperative agreement program titled "Education and Enforcement in Pedestrian Focus Cities" (Funding Opportunity Number DTNH22 13 R 00728). The purpose of this opportunity is to help selected Focus States and Focus Cities carry out the education and enforcement portions of their Pedestrian Safety Action Plans. In practical terms, the program is meant to complement on-the-ground infrastructure improvement projects (such as engineering or street redesign work) by adding public education efforts and targeted traffic law enforcement that together can reduce pedestrian crashes and fatalities.
This funding is offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional grant, which generally signals that NHTSA expects to have substantial involvement in how the work is planned or carried out. The funding falls under the transportation activity category and is listed under CFDA number 20.614 (NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants). NHTSA anticipated making about six awards under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding level of $2,000,000. The notice lists an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and an award floor of $0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, indicating that applications were expected to come from state-level entities (often state highway safety offices or similar agencies), even though the activities would be implemented in designated Focus Cities. The central program theme is supporting education campaigns and enforcement strategies tied to pedestrian safety plans, particularly in locations where infrastructure work is already underway, so that behavioral interventions (driver and pedestrian awareness, compliance with crosswalk and speed laws, and similar measures) reinforce physical roadway changes.
The opportunity was posted on August 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2013. The announcement also references an earlier internal receipt date language (including "TBD" wording and an August 16, 2013 reference), but the clearest application deadline presented in the source data is 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 30, 2013, and applications needed to reference the cooperative agreement program number DTNH22 13 R 00728. Questions were required to be submitted by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 19, 2013, to allow time for responses before the application deadline.
Applications were directed to NHTSA Contract Specialist Wendell V. Crowder, and could be submitted electronically to NHTSAOAM@dot.gov or Wendell.crowder@dot.gov, or mailed/hand-delivered to 1200 New Jersey Avenue, S.E., Room W53-405, Washington, D.C. 20590, with attention to Wendell V. Crowder. For administrative and programmatic questions, the same contact was provided, along with a phone number (202-366-5456) for assistance, particularly for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
