The State and Community Highway Safety funding program is administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at the Federal level and by the State Highway Safety Offices (SHSO) at the State level. The formula grant funding facilitates a coordinated national highway safety program to reduce traffic crashes, deaths, injuries, and property damage. Each State may use these grant funds only for behavioral highway safety purposes to improve traffic safety for travelers using public roadways. At least 40 percent of these funds are to be used by political subdivisions of the State to address local traffic safety problems.
This chart shows obligations for the program by fiscal year. All data for this chart was provided by the

About the data page.
States are using these funds for staffing, training in all aspects of highway safety, equipment purchases, media and awareness campaigns for traffic safety programs.
States used these funds to conduct programmatic assessments. Assessments, based on programmatic guidelines, are conducted by a group of peers to assess their strengths, weaknesses, and to provide recommendations for enhancements. States also used funds to provide grants to sub-recipients to assist with the conduct of project proposals, conduct enforcement activities, and to collect and review crash data in order to conduct enforcement in areas where additional efforts are needed based on problem identification.
States used these funds to conduct a wide array of programming to include highly visible enforcement programs for seat belt and child seat law violations, impaired drivers, and other highway safety issues to deter unsafe driving behaviors. Funds are also provided for programs in motorcyclist safety, bicycle and pedestrian non-motorized safety, and other safety programs based on the state’s problem identification.
