Description
The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is soliciting proposals for the Indian Highway Safety Law Enforcement Grants program. The program aims to reduce the number of traffic crashes, deaths, injuries, and property damage within Indian Country. The grants are available to federally recognized tribes and will support the implementation of traffic safety programs and projects. The program will focus on reducing motor vehicle crash fatalities, motor vehicle crashes, DUI arrests, speeding, and traffic citations. The grants will be awarded based on a competitive review process, and the BIA will prioritize applications that demonstrate a clear understanding of the traffic safety problems in their community and propose effective strategies to address these problems.
• The program will support the implementation of traffic safety programs and projects, including law enforcement grants, highway safety specialist grants, and overtime hours grants.
• The grants will be awarded for a period of one year, and the BIA will provide reimbursement for eligible expenses.
• The program will require grantees to submit monthly reports and participate in national enforcement mobilizations.
• The BIA will provide technical assistance and training to grantees to support the implementation of their projects.
