Innovative Traffic Safety Enforcement (ITSE) Grant Program

The Innovative Traffic Safety Enforcement (ITSE) Grant Program aims to develop and implement innovative traffic safety enforcement programs that reduce motor vehicle crashes due to risky driving behaviors. The program focuses on areas such as speeding, impaired driving, occupant protection, and distracted driving. Applicants must demonstrate a clear evidence-based approach to improve traffic safety and provide details on the characteristics of crashes and the rationale for the proposed project. The program will provide up to $20,000,000 in funding, with individual awards ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000. The project duration is expected to be 60 months. Key aspects of the program include: • Developing innovative traffic safety enforcement programs that demonstrate effectiveness in reducing motor vehicle crashes • Ensuring that traffic safety enforcement programs are repeatable and scalable for use by law enforcement throughout the United States • Addressing specific risky driving behaviors that contribute to the most motor vehicle crashes resulting in fatalities and serious injuries • Providing new, innovative approaches to traffic safety enforcement, including the use of artificial intelligence and data-driven enforcement efforts • Submitting applications that include a cover page, application narrative, and required submissions, such as a budget plan and project plan • Complying with all applicable Federal laws, regulations, executive orders, policies, guidelines, and requirements related to the application, acceptance, and use of Federal funds
