Additional Information
Agency Name: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Description: State Electronic Crash Data Collection Program Grant
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis intends
to award discretionary grants for the modernization of States’ crash data collection systems. These
grants are for States to establish or upgrade and standardize their crash data systems to enable
electronic data collection, intra-State sharing, and electronic transfer of their crash data to NHTSA in a
standardized format using the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) data transfer protocol.
NHTSA has a history of working with States to make crash data available to the public to support
highway safety. These grants will increase the number of States providing timely, standardized
electronic crash data to NHTSA to support NHTSA data systems, including the Fatality Analysis Reporting
System (FARS), the Crash Reporting Sampling System (CRSS), and the Crash Investigation Sampling
System (CISS). The crash data received will enable NHTSA to analyze motor vehicle crash data, identify
developing trends, and develop strategies and interventions to prevent and mitigate crash injury
severity. NHTSA will make this State crash data accessible to the public.
Grant recipients will be required to contribute at least twenty (20) percent of State funds for eligible
activity costs. States can use the funds for equipment to upgrade a centralized statewide crash data
repository; adopt electronic crash reporting by law enforcement agencies; and increase alignment of
State crash data with the forthcoming Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) Sixth Edition.
Recipients will also certify that they will electronically transfer crash data to NHTSA beginning no later
than five years from the effective date of award.
This Notice is being published to allow potential applicants enough time to develop a plan to implement
full electronic data transfer to NHTSA by no later than five years after the grant is awarded. The plan
should describe the project, tasks, and steps that will enable electronic transfer of State crash data to
NHTSA. This notification of funding opportunity (NOFO) is currently under development. We encourage
prospective applicants to use the Grants.gov subscription option to register for future updates provided
for this opportunity.

States are encouraged to review the guidance, tools, and technical assistance provided by NHTSA for
modernizing their crash data collection systems. The Guide to Updating State Crash Data Systems (DOT
HS 813 217) was published to provide guidance and promote noteworthy practices to States. The Traffic
Records Program Assessment Advisory, 2018 Edition (DOT HS 821 601) provides a description of the
ideal crash system.
