Injury Prevention (IP) Program- General Non-Enforcement Overview

I. INTRODUCTION
To help local communities reduce deaths and injuries on Illinois roadways, the Bureau of Safety Programs & Engineering (BSPE) established the Injury Prevention (IP) grant program. This program enables local agencies to conduct public information and education campaigns, trainings, and outreach that focus on highway safety issues.

This particular NOFO is to allow grantees seeking to keep Illinois roadways safe through non-enforcement programs. However, applicants are strongly encouraged to ensure the other FFY2027 NOFOs are not applicable to their program before submitting an application.

II. PROJECT GOAL
The goal of the Injury Prevention Program is to develop and implement effective traffic safety injury prevention and education strategies throughout Illinois.

III. GRANT PROPOSAL GUIDANCE
A. The Injury Prevention Program provides grant funding to help agencies address highway safety issues at both the local and statewide levels. Projects should primarily emphasize education, prevention, and training with the goal of reducing serious injuries and fatalities.

B. Applicants may reference the example projects listed in Section IV; however, proposals are not limited to those examples. New and innovative ideas are encouraged.

C. Applicants must:
• Provide clear data driven emphasis supporting the local or statewide traffic safety need.
• Demonstrate how their project will address the identified problem.
• Show how the proposed project will help IDOT achieve performance measures outlined in the Triennial Highway Safety Plan.
-Programs that include training materials or curriculum must verify the amount of traffic-safety–related content. These materials must be submitted with the grant application.
• If only part of the curriculum relates to traffic safety, IDOT can only fund the portion directly tied to traffic safety.
• Applications submitted without curriculum or training materials may be denied.
-All expenses must be justified and thoroughly explained in the budget narrative. Supporting documentation may be required.

IV. EXAMPLE PROJECTS

Projects may include, but are not limited to:
• Developing a traffic safety coalition by bringing together partners to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on Illinois roadways.
• Creating a teen-led program that educates elementary-aged children on the importance of using booster seats and buckling up.
• Implementing peer-to-peer teen safety programs covering topics such as seat belt use, speed compliance, impaired and distracted driving, GDL laws, and the crash risks associated with teen passengers.
• Providing training related to State traffic safety laws, Safe Kids CPS Certification Courses, or other evidence-based safety education curricula.
• Conducting public education and awareness campaigns on traffic laws and safety issues, including occupant protection, heat stroke/hot car awareness, impaired driving, pedestrian and bicycle safety, motorcycle safety, speeding/aggressive driving, and distracted driving.
• Offering educational materials and technical tools to support community approaches to traffic safety, covering areas such as occupant protection, impaired driving, speed management, pedestrian/bicycle safety, motorcycle safety, drowsy driving, and distracted driving.
• Delivering victim impact and safety-based education programs to reduce injuries and fatalities caused by motor vehicle crashes.
• Providing safety education using evidence-based curricula.
• Utilizing data-driven methods to identify and address local traffic safety concerns.
• Participating in or organizing local traffic safety networks, coalitions, and councils.

V. PROGRAM DELIVERABLES
These program deliverables must be accurately recorded and reported to IDOT on a monthly or quarterly basis as stated in the grant Agreement. The applicant agency may request to add grant-specific deliverables in addition to those set forth as part of the IP program.
Due to the broad range of program deliverables, grantees must submit the applicable deliverables monthly or quarterly:

-Social Media: number of impressions and shares
-Event: event type, number of attendees, type of materials distributed, number of materials distributed, feedback from attendees
-Distribution of Materials, Supplies, or Equipment: as allowable under the specific grant, provide the material, supplies, or equipment distributed, the number distributed, and populations receiving the items
-Indirect contact: any contact made, such as emails, letters, or other forms of non-face-to-face contacts, should be listed by the number of contacts made, populations reached, and information on the contact distributed

VI. PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Performance Measures are quantifiable specific pieces of information used to determine if a grant program is working towards achieving it’s intended goal. This typically involves collecting and analyzing data to evaluate efficiency and effectiveness of projects. IDOT also encourages grant applicants to set clear objectives and metrics, as part of or in addition to the required program deliverables, as part of an internal process to help meet the goal.

In order to address these goals, grant applicants must submit a minimum of two (2) performance measures. Grant applicants must also submit a minimum of one (1) project objective. To assist with creating these two requirements, grant applicants may use Performance Measure Worksheet document made available within the application package to assist with the creation and determination of these performance measures and an objective.

VII. PROJECT FUNDING GUIDANCE:
A. Funding for these programs is limited. Prior funding does not guarantee future awards. Applicants must:

• Demonstrate clear community need with supporting data.
• Explain how funding will meaningfully improve identified problems.
• Show alignment with IDOT’s performance goals.

IX. REIMBURSEMENT
A. Claims for reimbursement submitted by the Grantee will be for expenses that have been incurred to complete the scope of services/responsibilities in the Agreement. If the Grantee’s claims for reimbursement are deemed by the Grantor or auditors to not be sufficiently documented for supplies and equipment purchased or other services rendered, the Grantor may require further records and supporting documents to verify the amounts, recipients and uses of all funds invoiced pursuant to the Agreement. Furthermore, if any of the deliverables or milestones in the Agreement are not satisfactorily completed, the Grantee will refund payments made under the Agreement to the extent that such payments were made for any such incomplete or unsatisfactory deliverable.

The Grantee shall submit all claims for reimbursement on the Highway Safety Claim (non-STEP) claim form (BSPE 600). Claims for reimbursement are due within thirty (30) days of the end of the service period being reimbursed. The Grantee may request an extension of time to submit claims for reimbursement, along with required supporting documentation. Extension requests must be submitted to the Grantor in writing. The grantor must provide a written approval or denial of a time extension.

Final claims for reimbursement and all reports, including final reports, are due to the Grantor by 5 p.m. on Monday, November 1, 2027. Claims submitted to the Grantor by the November 1, 2027, due date will be reviewed and processed immediately for payment. If the Grantee cannot meet the November 1, 2027, deadline for submitting any final claims for reimbursement, the Grantee may request a time extension for submitting these documents. Time extension requests must be submitted to the Grantor in writing. Grantor must provide a written approval or denial of any time extension requests. Any approved time extension will be limited in nature to ensure the Grantor is able to request federal reimbursement.

Any expenditure made prior to the Agreement start date is the responsibility of the Grantee.

The Grantee must submit the BSPE 600 claim form and supporting documentation to the Grantor pursuant to the Agreement via email at:

DOT.BSPE.Claims@illinois.gov
