NHTSA Establishes New Regulations for State Highway Safety Grants
Issue Brief 13-04
February 8, 2013
The
Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21; P.L. 112-141) made several changes to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) state highway safety grant programs.
Those changes were codified on January 23, 2013, through Federal Register Document 2013-00682. This interim final
rule (IFR) implements new state highway safety grant regulations to incorporate
a new performance evaluation process and a new consolidated application
requirement. NHTSA also solicits comments based on these new regulations.
