Abstract: MAP-21, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (P.L. 112-141), authorizes the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue grants to States for National Priority Safety Programs for fiscal years (FY) 2013-2014. The authorization consolidates six previously separate grant programs that are available to help States address national priorities for reducing highway deaths and injuries. Specifically, these consolidated grant programs include the following: (1) Occupant Protection Grants; (2) State Traffic Safety Information System Improvements Grants; (3) Impaired Driving Countermeasures Grants; (4) Distracted Driving Grants; (5) Motorcyclist Safety Grants; and (6) State Graduated Driver Licensing Grant. Consistent with these statutory requirements, the agency is implementing a regulation that creates an application process for States to apply for grant funds. In order to meet the statutory requirements, a State will be required to submit information to the agency that supports its qualifications for receiving grants funds. The information requested includes data, plans, legislation and other evidence that demonstrates the State is implementing a strategic and evidence-based traffic safety program.
