DPS - HIGHWAY SAFETY GRANTS ACCOUNT
201-4721
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Department of Public Safety, Highway Patrol Division receives several federal grants, which are administered through this budget account. The granting agency is the U. S. Department
of Transportation, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), whose focus is accident, fatality, and injury reduction of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) related crashes. These
reductions are accomplished through consistent, uniform, and effective CMV safety programs. The federal grants include the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) and the
New Entrant Safety Audit Program (New Entrant). The MCSAP grant is committed to a reduction in the frequency and severity of CMV related crashes. Federal funds are used for MCSAP
eligible activities designed to promote safety on Nevada highways by supporting enforcement of CMV regulations, CMV inspections, and CMV/non-CMV traffic enforcement. This grant
requires a 20% soft match which is comprised of trooper time spent on MCSAP eligible activities. The New Entrant program is a continuing program to conduct safety audits of new CMV
operators based in southern Nevada. This grant funds 100% of these activities which are supported by two positions.
Statutory Authority: NRS 480.300, 480.330, 480.340, and 480.360.
BASE
This request continues funding for ten positions and associated operating costs. One-time expenditures have been eliminated and partial year costs have been annualized.
