The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) Traffic Safety Division (TSD) is offering the Traffic Safety Improvement Program (TSIP) Grant, a funding initiative designed to reduce fatalities and severe injuries on Indiana's roads. This grant aligns with the ICJI's mission to enhance public safety by supporting projects that address critical areas of traffic safety. The program provides financial assistance to state agencies, units of local government, and nonprofits, enabling them to implement evidence-based strategies that lead to tangible improvements in traffic safety across the state. The TSIP Grant targets a broad range of beneficiaries, including various state and local government entities, universities, colleges, coalitions, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits. The primary impact goal is to significantly reduce injuries and fatalities resulting from traffic incidents in Indiana. This is achieved by funding projects that address a diverse set of priority areas, all aimed at fostering safer driving environments and behaviors. The grant prioritizes projects that focus on several key areas. These include reducing injuries and fatalities from excessive speed, promoting the proper use of occupant protection devices, mitigating impaired driving, preventing crashes involving motor vehicles and motorcycles, and reducing school bus crashes. Furthermore, the program emphasizes preventing crashes from unsafe driving behavior, improving law enforcement services related to traffic safety, enhancing driver performance, and improving pedestrian and bicycle safety. Other critical areas of focus include improving traffic records, crash investigations, roadside safety for emergency vehicles, and teen driver programs. Expected outcomes of the TSIP Grant include a measurable decrease in traffic-related injuries and fatalities throughout Indiana. By supporting initiatives in the identified priority areas, the program aims to create safer roads, promote responsible driving, and enhance the overall effectiveness of traffic safety measures. The requirement for grant recipients to comply with reporting standards, including submitting quarterly performance measures, ensures accountability and allows for the tracking of measurable results, demonstrating the program's impact in achieving its safety objectives.

The grants aim to support initiatives that directly impact these areas, leading to improved outcomes for vulnerable populations. Expected outcomes include enhanced access to mental health services, reduced food insecurity, and improved housing stability for community members. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed for each outcome, the foundation's emphasis on funding special projects or items suggests a desire for tangible, project-specific impact.
