The Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) has experienced a delay in releasing the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the 2027 Traffic Enforcement Grant Program. We anticipate the RFP and application materials will be available in early July 2026.

To help agencies prepare, OTS is providing a preview of application questions and required information. Applicants are encouraged to review 2027 Enforcement Application Prep Sheet and begin gathering information now so it can be easily entered into the application when it becomes available. A step-by-step application guide will be provided when the RFP is released.

New for 2027: IGX user roles

Agency Administrator: This should be the fiscal coordinator and primary contact for OTS. Additional details are provided in the preparation document.
Agency Financial Officer: Optional. If someone other than the Agency Administrator will complete the Financial Status Reports (invoicing), that individual must be registered in IGX and identified in the application.
Agency Signer: Required only if grant documents will be signed electronically. The signer must be registered in IGX before they can be selected in the application. Agencies that prefer to download, sign, and upload grant documents may leave this section blank.

SAM UEI numbers

Applicants must provide the SAM Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) for the fiscal agency and all partner agencies. Details here: Sam.gov.

Crash reporting policy

Law enforcement applicants must submit a copy of their agency's crash reporting policy with the application.
If partner law enforcement agencies are included, each partner agency must also submit its crash reporting policy.
Agencies without a crash reporting policy must provide a memo on agency letterhead stating that no such policy exists.

Requirements that remain the same

The fiscal coordinator will need to complete a risk assessment on each partner agency.
Partner Certification - each partner agency will need to acknowledge the certifications (program guidelines, terms & conditions, and federal audit requirements).
Work plan – the work plan will be similar to last year’s plan.

Application timeline

Once released, the 2027 Traffic Enforcement Grant RFP will remain open for applications for three weeks.
