Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Increasing Seat Belt Usage in Rural Areas," is a discretionary safety grant offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The purpose of the funding is to support strategies and on-the-ground activities that are most likely to raise seat belt use in rural communities starting in 2009 and continuing beyond. The program is specifically aimed at rural areas where observed seat belt use is below the national average rate of 82.4 percent, with the basic idea being to concentrate limited federal resources where the gap is largest and where improvements could translate into meaningful reductions in injuries and fatalities.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The total estimated funding available for this opportunity is $600,000, and NHTSA expects to make two awards. Each award is set at a fixed level: both the award floor and award ceiling are $300,000, indicating that each selected applicant would receive $300,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so states are not required to contribute a specific percentage of their own funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Only state governments are eligible to apply. NHTSA pre-identified a set of eligible states based on the most recently published seat belt use rates at the time of the announcement. The eligible states listed in the notice are: North Dakota (ND), Ohio (OH), Colorado (CO), Arizona (AZ), Tennessee (TN), Virginia (VA), Maine (ME), Montana (MT), Florida (FL), Rhode Island (RI), Nebraska (NE), Idaho (ID), Missouri (MO), Wisconsin (WI), Louisiana (LA), Kansas (KS), South Carolina (SC), South Dakota (SD), Wyoming (WY), Kentucky (KY), Mississippi (MS), Arkansas (AR), Massachusetts (MA), and New Hampshire (NH). The focus on these states reflects NHTSA's intention to direct funding toward jurisdictions with seat belt use rates below the national benchmark, particularly in their rural areas.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DTNH22-08-R-00148 and is associated with CFDA number 20.614 (NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants). It was posted and created on May 28, 2008, with an application closing date of June 27, 2008. The archive date is July 27, 2008, indicating the posting was later moved into an archived status after the submission window closed. The activity category is transportation, aligning with the roadway safety objective of increasing seat belt use and, by extension, reducing crash-related harm in rural regions.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, the point of contact provided is Terry McBee, Contract Specialist at NHTSA, reachable by phone at 202-366-3998 or by email at terry.mcbee@dot.gov.
