The 402 program began in 1966 and is the joint responsibility of FHWA and NHTSA. (See 23 U.S.C. 402). State and Community Highway Safety grants are apportioned to the States to pay for the non-construction costs of highway safety programs aimed at the reduction of injuries, deaths, and property damage from motor vehicle accidents. These projects generally consist of developing or upgrading traffic record systems; collecting and analyzing data; conducting traffic engineering studies and analyses; developing technical guides and materials for States and local highway agencies; developing work zone safety programs; encouraging the use of safety belts and child safety seats; developing roadway safety public outreach campaigns; reducing impaired drivers; developing programs to combat drivers who speed or drive impaired; and developing programs to reduce aggressive driving. |
