694985 - 2028 Test

The Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) of the Iowa Department of Public Safety is seeking organizations to implement data‑driven traffic‑safety projects for the 2027 grant cycle. Applications are accepted annually and must be submitted by the end of 2026; funded projects are one‑year agreements (Oct 1 – Sep 30) that reimburse costs for activities such as bicycle safety, distracted‑driving countermeasures, high‑visibility enforcement, public information campaigns, and research. Projects are reimbursed after expenses are incurred, with a minimum of one monitoring visit per year, and must align with the state’s Triennial Highway Safety Plan. The grant is open to any entity with a valid UEI in SAM.gov and not debarred, and cost‑sharing is provided by the Iowa State Patrol. • Eligible activities include education/outreach, engineering improvements, data program enhancements, and research related to traffic safety. • Funding is “no‑limit” but projects must be data‑driven and meet NHTSA countermeasure guidelines. • Applications are submitted electronically via IowaGrants; the program officer is Michael Martinez (phone above). • Awards are announced around mid‑April, with reimbursement claims due within 90 days of each expense.
