- What it does
- The purpose of this NOFO was to advance the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) safety strategic goal, which includes using a data-driven systemic safety approach, by providing funding to build the capacity of State, local, and Tribal governments to use tools and information for policy and decision-making to improve roadway safety. The NOFO was an important next step in the Safety Data Initiative (SDI), which focused on leveraging data integration, data visualization, and the use of advanced analytics to better understand surface transportation safety risks. Participants developed, refined, and deployed roadway safety tools that address specific safety problems, which are an identified area of need for State, local, and Tribal practitioners. This accelerated the roadway safety community’s ability to gain new safety insights from data and apply information in a meaningful way that can lead to more precise, informed, effective, and/or efficient practices.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
