National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's contract dollars, traced to the source.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration · Department of Transportation
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is the Department of Transportation component that sets federal motor-vehicle safety standards, runs crash-data and defect investigations, and funds behavioral road-safety programs. Its ~$0.27B in FY2025 contract obligations are dominated by national marketing & media support for behavioral safety campaigns (the largest awards go to StrataComm for communications on impaired/distracted driving and seat-belt use), followed by crash-investigation & data-collection services (KLD's Crash Investigation Sampling System sites) and EMS & vehicle-safety data systems such as the NEMSIS technical assistance center. In short, the contract feed skews toward safety-communications, crash-data collection, and research/data-system support rather than construction or hardware.

What this monitor reads — and what it doesn't
This is the contract-signal tier: the live USAspending award feed for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarding sub-agency. It shows where NHTSA's procurement dollars go — obligations over time and the largest awards — not total budget authority, which also includes payroll, grants, and transfers. Figures reflect the contract (procurement) slice from USAspending FY2025 award data, not NHTSA's total budget authority or grant obligations. The appropriation-level view lives on the Department of Transportation monitor.
