"JESSE" TORREZ DIRECTOR Re: FFY 2026 GOHS Grant Agreement Grant No.: Grant Description: Award Amount: 2026-OP-004 Occupant Protection Education Overtime, M&S $48,304.00 Dear Fire Chief Dwiggins: The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) has completed the review of the proposals submitted for funding for Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2026 commencing on October 1, 2025. All of the proposals were carefully considered by an evaluation team at GOHS that reviewed agency performance, program priority area, problem identification, supporting fiscal/data documentation, consistency of reporting, and available funding levels. As a result of this evaluation process, we are pleased to be able to include your agency’s submitted proposal(s) listed above in the Arizona’s FFY 2026 Annual Grant Application (AGA) to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). However, please be aware that your agency’s awarded highway safety project(s) may not have been funded at the amount requested and may be subject to change as we strive to make the best use of federal taxpayers’ dollars. All FFY 2026 grants will begin on October 1, 2025 as long as NHTSA approves the FFY 2026 AGA. If approval from a Town/City Council or Board of Supervisors is required, your agency should begin the process of scheduling the grant award for approval. The assigned GOHS project coordinator will be contacting you regarding your project(s) and your agency should have the grant(s) soon. During the interim, do not make any public announcement concerning the grant and do not incur any costs or proceed with any portion of the project until GOHS has written a grant agreement with your agency and it has been signed and executed by both parties. We appreciate the time and effort put forth by your agency in submitting its proposal(s). Should any questions and/or concerns arise, please feel free to contact your grant project coordinator at 602-255-3216. Sincerely, J.M. “Jesse” Torrez, Director Governor’s Office of Highway Safety
