Highway Commission Offering Grants

Do you or your organization have an idea for a project or initiative to improve traffic safety for Louisiana road users? If so, January 31 is the deadline to apply for funding to implement the idea, the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission announced.

Grants are being offered to local, parish and state agencies; non-profit organizations; universities or other institutions of higher learning; local school boards or schools; corporations; hospitals; highway safety advocacy groups and individuals.

Successful grants will assist LHSC in addressing traffic safety problems, expanding an ongoing activity or developing a new program or countermeasure. Projects eligible for funding must be directly related to highway safety and support at least one of the LHSC goals. Possible project proposals could include, but are not limited to, education, outreach, prevention and enforcement.

Detailed information on problem identification, submission requirements and the application is available at https://www.lahighwaysafety. org/grants/apply-for-a-grant/.

Proposals will be accepted beginning January 1, 2024 through January 31, 2024 and must be submitted electronically. Applicants must submit proposals online before 4:30 p.m. CST on Jan. 31. Late or incomplete proposals for funding will not be considered.

LHSC will fund projects from Oct. 1, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2025. Projects must address impaired driving; distracted driving; police traffic services; speeding and aggressive driving; occupant protection; child passenger safety; pedestrian, bicycle or motorcycle safety; traffic records or community traffic safety.

To apply for a grant, go to http://www.lahighwaysafety. org/, and select “Apply For A Grant” from the menu at the top of the page to see an overview of the grant process. From there, applicants can find links to the LHSC FFY 2025 Call for Proposals and Application Instructions, and to the LHSC FFY 2025 Application.

Funding comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and is allocated for one-year projects. LHSC selects and oversees the NHTSA-funded projects in Louisiana.
