State Electronic Data Collection Grant

The State Electronic Data Collection Grant is a funding opportunity provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation to encourage law enforcement agencies to submit applications for purchasing crash-resistant and weather-resistant laptop computers. The grant aims to increase the electronic crash report submittals by approximately 10,500. Eligible applicants are county or municipal law enforcement agencies that are not currently submitting crash reports electronically to the Department. The grant will provide funding for the purchase of new laptops, and the agencies will be required to submit invoices to IDOT for payment. The agencies will also be required to participate in conference calls with and/or submit status reports to BDC staff once a month to discuss the agency’s progress throughout the grant year. Key points to consider: • The grant is open to law enforcement agencies that are not currently submitting crash reports electronically to the Department. • The grant will provide funding for the purchase of new laptops. • The agencies will be required to submit invoices to IDOT for payment. • The agencies will be required to participate in conference calls with and/or submit status reports to BDC staff once a month. • The grant has a project duration of 1 year.
