Opportunity Summary:
The Motorcycle Law Enforcement Demonstrations grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTNH22 10 R 00386) was a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It was structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning NHTSA planned to work jointly with selected awardees rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The overall goal was to support a study and real-world demonstrations that test whether advanced motorcycle-focused law enforcement strategies, originally carried out by the New York State Police, can be successfully applied in other jurisdictions to reduce motorcycle crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
The program was designed to fund a small number of law enforcement-led demonstration efforts across the country. NHTSA expected to make about five awards from an estimated total funding amount of $350,000. Individual awards were anticipated to range from a floor of $70,000 up to a ceiling of $350,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding fell under CFDA 20.614 (NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants) and was categorized under transportation safety activities.
Eligibility was limited to law enforcement agencies. At the same time, the announcement made clear that police agencies were allowed to form partnerships with other state entities, such as State Highway Safety Offices, if those partnerships would help meet the project goals. In practical terms, the lead applicant had to be a law enforcement agency, but collaboration with other state or local partners was encouraged where it strengthened implementation, data collection, coordination, or public outreach connected to the enforcement demonstrations.
The timeline for the opportunity was short and clearly defined. The announcement was posted on July 13, 2010, with an application deadline of August 13, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on September 12, 2010. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the contracting officer, Thomas J. Bub, at (202) 366-9571 or thomas.bub@dot.gov.
In essence, this opportunity funded targeted, higher-level motorcycle law enforcement demonstration work intended to show measurable safety benefits and generate evidence that other jurisdictions could use to replicate successful approaches. By using a Cooperative Agreement model, NHTSA signaled that it expected active collaboration during the project, particularly around shaping the demonstration effort, learning from the New York State Police model, and documenting results in a way that could inform broader national motorcycle safety enforcement practices.
