BILLING CODE 4910–13–M

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration

Discretionary Cooperative Agreements

to Support the Demonstration and

Evaluation of Safe Communities

Programs

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.

ACTION: Announcement of discretionary

cooperative agreements to support the

demonstration and evaluation of Safe

Communities Programs

SUMMARY: The National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA)

announces the second year of a

discretionary cooperative agreement

program to demonstrate and evaluate

the effectiveness of the Safe

Communities concept for traffic safety

initiatives. The Safe Communities

program offers communities a new way

to control traffic injuries. This approach

recognizes that traffic-related deaths and

injuries are primarily a local community

problem that is best solved at the local

level. The Safe Communities program

adopts a comprehensive injury control

approach to address traffic injury

problems. Recognizing that traffic

fatalities are only a small part of the

total traffic injury problem, Safe

Communities focuses on non-fatal

injuries as well as fatal injuries to define

the traffic safety problem, and asks who

is paying the costs of the injuries. Four

characteristics define the Safe

Communities approach: Data analysis of

crash and injury data bases (and linkage

where possible), expanded partnerships,

citizen involvement in setting priorities,

and movement towards an integrated

and comprehensive injury control

system.

In 1996 under Phase I of this

demonstration and evaluation program,

cooperative agreements were awarded to

the Greater Dallas Injury Prevention

Program and the East Carolina

University/Eastern Carolina Injury

Prevention Program. This notice solicits

applications from public and private,

non-profit, and non-for-profit

organizations, governments and their

agencies, or a consortium of these

organizations that are interested in

developing, implementing and

evaluating the Safe Communities

approach in their community. The

funds from this program may only be

used to support traffic safety activities

within the larger context of community

injury control efforts. Private

contractors, working on behalf of

community groups are not eligible to

apply. Preference will be given to those

applications which help NHTSA meet

its needs to obtain geographic diversity,

urban/rural mix, diversity in lead

organization(s); potential for replication

in other communities, and/or other

factors deemed relevant by NHTSA.

NHTSA anticipates awarding two (2)

demonstration and evaluation projects

for a period of three years each as a

result of this announcement.
