Grant Description: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is accepting applications for a cooperative agreement to provide technical assistance to the FHWA Office of Safety to promote and advance strategic highway safety plans and create strategies to improve safety of roadway users through infrastructure design and engineering improvements in those areas where the greatest numbers of traffic fatalities occur (roadway departure (58%), intersections (21%), pedestrians (11%), and speed (32%)). The objective of this cooperative agreement is to provide technical assistance to the FHWA Office of Safety to promote and advance highway safety by engaging, partnering with, and facilitating dialogue amongst the State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), their Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and their staff. This will be done through the sharing of knowledge, support and services by and with the FHWA Office of Safety for specific activities which will significantly improve the capabilities of the safety community, especially within State DOTs, to develop and effectively deliver a national highway safety program. In each of the four topic areas (roadway departure, intersections, pedestrians, speed) the FHWA Office of Safety has a dedicated manager and staff who focus on research, programmatic issues and delivery of training and technical assistance for that topic. Dedicated assistance is provided to a set of states in each of the areas above where the greatest potential for reducing these types of highway fatalities is seen. Specifics on these programs can be found at the FHWA Office of Safety website http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/index.htm.
