# Massachusetts Awards $13 Million Road Safety Grants

On October 16, 2026, Massachusetts announced approximately $13 million in federal traffic-safety funding distributed through four grant programs administered by the state Office of Grants and Research. The awards support municipal and state agency enforcement, safety technology and training, and community education. The announced funding includes $5,560,511 for the Municipal Road Safety Grant Program and $6,433,931 for the State Agency Traffic Safety Grant Program. These are grant awards, not announced contractor solicitations; the release identifies no open procurement or procurement contact.

- The funded activities may create follow-on demand for safety equipment, training, technology, data systems, and public outreach services.
- Companies should align relevant offerings with the municipal and state agency activities supported by the grants; the announcement does not specify solicitations, awardees for individual procurements, or a response deadline.
- The Massachusetts Office of Grants and Research administers the programs, making its grant information and participating state and municipal agencies relevant sources for identifying any resulting purchasing activity.
