Office of Highway Safety offers grant training for Idaho communities

BOISE, Idaho (KIFI) — Looking for ways to improve traffic safety in your community?

The Idaho Office of Highway Safety (OHS) is offering online grant training for community partners on Thursday, Nov. 16 from 2 to 4 p.m. Mountain Time.

Community safety advocates, organizations, municipalities and non-profits are encouraged to attend to learn more about the grants offered by OHS. Participants will learn how to identify and document traffic safety problems for a grant, eligible projects and activities, and how to complete a grant application.

The application period for Federal Fiscal Year 2025 Grants will open in December 2023.

These grants fund projects to address specific behavior-related traffic safety issues.

These behaviors include impaired driving, aggressive driving, distracted driving, seat belt use, bicycle, pedestrian, motorcycle safety and young drivers. Grants may be awarded for assisting OHS in targeting traffic safety focus areas, expanding ongoing activities or developing a new program or intervention.

Please email ohstraining@itd.idaho.gov to register for the grant training session.
