    TxDOT funding supports the targets and strategies of traffic safety programs to reduce the number of motor vehicle related crashes, injuries, and fatalities in Texas. These targets and strategies form the basis for the Federal Fiscal Year 2023 Texas Highway Safety Plan (HSP), which is submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for approval and funding. Each year, TxDOT's Behavioral Traffic Safety Section (TRF-BTS) requests proposals for Texas HSP projects.
