Opportunity Summary:
The Public Road Safety Clearinghouse grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTFH6114RA00001) was a discretionary transportation funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), under CFDA 20.200 (Highway Research and Development Program). It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the FHWA expected to have substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The announcement was posted on November 15, 2013, with an original closing date of December 6, 2013, later reflected as December 5, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on January 4, 2014.
The core purpose of the agreement was to support a "Public Road Safety Clearinghouse" effort led by the Roadway Safety Foundation. The work focused on implementing public awareness campaigns aimed at improving roadway safety outcomes by educating several key audiences: state and local transportation officials, public safety officials, and everyday motorists. Beyond messaging and outreach, the program also emphasized promoting public road safety research and facilitating technology transfer activities, which typically refers to helping move proven safety research, tools, and practices into real-world use by agencies and practitioners. In practice, this kind of clearinghouse initiative often involves collecting and organizing safety information, highlighting effective countermeasures, sharing research findings in accessible formats, and encouraging adoption of data-driven strategies that reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
Funding for the opportunity was up to an estimated total of $920,000, with an award ceiling of $920,000 and no stated award floor. FHWA anticipated making one award, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Eligibility was limited by design: this was a sole-source requirement with application eligibility restricted exclusively to the Roadway Safety Foundation (listed under the eligible applicant category as "Others" with the clarification provided in the eligibility text). That limitation signals FHWA had a specific, pre-identified organization in mind to carry out the program based on unique qualifications or continuity needs.
For administrative questions or access issues related to the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was Robert Miller, Agreement Specialist at FHWA, reachable by phone at (202) 366-9167 or by email at Rob.Miller@dot.gov.
