Description
The Iowa Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) is offering the 2027 Highway Safety Grant (ID 653123) to support data‑driven, evidence‑based traffic‑safety projects across the state. Applicants must be registered Iowa Grants users, submit a fully completed online application by February 28, 2026, and demonstrate alignment with the Triennial Highway Safety Plan countermeasures. Funding is reimbursable, covering overtime, equipment, travel, contractual services, and related costs for a one‑year project period (Oct 1 2026 – Sep 30 2027). The award will be announced around mid‑April, with a minimum of one monitoring visit during the project year.
• Eligible activities include bicycle safety, distracted‑driving enforcement, high‑visibility enforcement, motorcycle safety, occupant protection, older‑driver safety, public‑information campaigns, roadway safety, and related research or outreach.
• Budget must follow unit‑based reimbursement rules; equipment requests require a corresponding overtime line item.
• No cost‑share is required beyond state‑provided match dollars; UEI verification in SAM.gov is mandatory.
• Applications are reviewed for risk, past performance, and alignment with GTSB priorities before award.
