Introduction
State agencies and other organizations interested in traffic
safety issues submit project proposals when requested by the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Traffic Safety Division (TRF).
These project proposals constitute the organizations’ traffic safety
intentions and can be submitted for any program area, depending
on the interests of the particular organization.
The TxDOT Traffic Safety Division - Behavioral Traffic Safety
Section (TRF-BTS) uses these highway safety project proposals in
the development of the State Highway Safety Plan (HSP). Proposals
must be submitted through the TxDOT Traffic Safety Electronic Grants
Management System (eGrants) by the announced deadline.
Proposals must include the most current data available to
identify a traffic safety problem, a workable solution linked to
the identified problem, and detailed action plans and budgets that demonstrate
an understanding of the various issues to be resolved and a reasonable
approach to resolving the identified problem. Projects must be closely
related to problem identification results.
TRF-BTS will conduct annual reviews of potential subgrantees
by checking both the State of Texas and the Federal Systems to make
sure they are not suspended or debarred prior to being eligible
to receive grant funding. Any proposal from an agency or organization
that has a debarment suspension will not be scored or considered
for funding (2 C.F.R. Part 200.213 Suspension and Debarment).
