Opportunity Summary:
The Statewide Pedestrian and Bicyclist Focus Education and Enforcement Effort is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (DOT-NHTSA). Issued as a Request for Applications (RFA), it is designed to help a limited set of eligible, designated pedestrian/bicycle focus states provide hands-on support to their identified focus cities as those cities carry out the education and enforcement pieces of local Pedestrian/Bicycle Safety Action Plans. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at reducing pedestrian and bicyclist injuries and fatalities by strengthening proven safety strategies at the community level, particularly where risk is concentrated.
This funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to be actively involved during the project period rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activities fall under the transportation funding category and are associated with CFDA number 20.614. While the eligibility field is broadly listed as "Others," the solicitation specifically targets states that have already been designated as pedestrian/bicycle focus states, and the intent is for those states to channel assistance in support of implementation work happening in selected focus cities.
The RFA was posted and created on February 18, 2016, with an application closing date of March 21, 2016. NHTSA anticipated making up to three awards, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000. Overall, the opportunity is structured to accelerate on-the-ground safety improvements by funding and coordinating education campaigns and enforcement efforts that align with existing local safety action plans, rather than funding general planning or unrelated roadway initiatives.
