GUIDELINES FOR SECTION 402 and 405d FUNDING PROPOSALS
Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau - Iowa Department of Public Safety
January 2020
The Iowa Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) administers the federally funded Section 402 Highway Safety Program authorized on December 4, 2015, when President Obama signed into law P.L. 114-94, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST)
Act. The FAST Act authorizes the federal surface transportation programs for highways, highway safety and transit.
Federal highway safety programs are administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation established in 1966 to combat the growing number of traffic related deaths and injuries.
The federal 402 Program is designed to help states, counties and communities initiate programs to address traffic safety problems. Applicants are encouraged to "leverage" funds requested from the GTSB with staff, financial or other resources they can contribute to the proposed project.
Traffic safety issues that qualify for 402 funding are: alcohol, occupant protection, police traffic services, speed, emergency medical services, traffic records, roadway safety (engineering), motorcycles and pedestrian/bicycle safety.
Project proposals may include activities in any or all of these areas.
Section 402 programs are funded through a one-year contract between the GTSB and the requesting agency.
Funds are only provided via reimbursements.
Agencies must first pay all program costs and then submit claims for reimbursement.
Claims are usually done monthly.
Upon receipt of a properly completed reimbursement claim, the GTSB should be able to provide reimbursement within 90 days.
To qualify for Section 402 funding, agencies must be in a county designated as one of Iowa’s Top 22 Problem Counties and have a city population of 3,000 or greater. These are determined each year by an in-depth analysis of Iowa’s traffic crashes, fatalities, injuries, Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and OWI data.
(See eligible counties below.)
The federal 405d Program is designed to help states, counties and communities initiate programs to combat the problem of impaired driving. Impaired driving and non-use of restraints are the leading causes of death and injury in traffic crashes in both Iowa and the Nation.
While 405d monies focus on impaired driving, other traffic safety activities, such as enforcement of seat belt, speed and stop light/sign violations are included. Applicants are encouraged to "leverage" funds from the GTSB with staff, financial or other resources they can contribute to a proposed project.
Section 405d is a one-year program with a new application required annually.
To qualify for Section 405d funding, agencies must be in one of Iowa’s designated Top 40 Problem Counties determined annually by an in-depth traffic data analysis of alcohol-related crashes, fatalities, injuries and OWI revocations. Agencies in counties ranked 1-22 are eligible regardless of population.
Agencies in counties ranked 23-40 must be in cities with a population of 3,000 or more unless their jurisdiction is countywide. (See eligible counties below.)
Section 405d programs may include elements such as directed overtime enforcement, educational presentations, equipment, training and/or public information campaigns. Enforcement agencies requesting overtime are required to direct that overtime enforcement to high-risk times (typically evening) and at high-risk locations for impaired driving crashes and to participate in two special traffic enforcement efforts, one conducted at night,during the program.
With a focus on impaired driving prevention, agencies arealso required to conduct a minimum of 12 public awareness activities through media releases, news articles and/or educational presentations.
The agency head or suitable authority must sign the funding proposal. Proposals must be received by the GTSBbeforeMarch 1st for consideration in the program year beginning the following October 1st.
These instructions provide potential contractors with the appropriate information to complete a funding application for submission to the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The problem statements should briefly describe the highway safety problem(s) you plan to address. Remember the nine highway safety emphasis areas noted above are the primary focus of the 402 Program.
If possible, include traffic data such as citations, crashes or seat belt usage rates.
GOAL OBJECTIVES/PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Note your goal objective(s). The best objectives answer the question:
What results will be attained and how will they be measured (numerically measurable outcomes are desirable)?

Activities might include directed overtime enforcement, educational presentations, training or workshop sessions or public information endeavors.
Be as specific as possible so it is clear how they will impact your identified highway safety problem(s).
