Highway Safety Act funds may be used for conducting inventories, need studies, engineering studies, systems development, program implementation, or for purchasing equipment. Program implementation can include putting new programs into use and the training required for their use.
Federal funds allocated to finance state and local government highway safety projects are intended to supplement, not be a substitute for, ongoing state or local program expenditures. Projects should be designed to eliminate a deficiency in an applicant agency's program or to expand an existing program.

- GOHS grant funding is based on the Federal fiscal year calendar which begins on October 1, 2019 and ends on September 30, 2020. Grants for the 2020 Federal fiscal year are awarded for a one-year period.
- Development of the grant agreement will begin at GOHS in June 2019; however, grants are not considered approved until fully executed by the GOHS Director. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the agency to be prepared to initiate the grant timelines by the October 1, 2019 start date.
All governmental and non-profit agencies are encouraged to take an active part in Arizona's Highway Safety Program.
Highway Safety Act funds cannot be used for the construction, design, or maintenance of highways or for highway construction research projects.
