## What this funds

Appropriations, Obligation Limitations, and Exempt Obligations Research and Analysis - NCSA $ 10,294 The Highway Safety Research and Development programs support research, demonstrations, evaluation, technical assistance, and national leadership activities for behavioral safety programs conducted by State and local governments, as well as various safety associations and organizations. These programs are designed to provide our State and local partners with the latest tools to combat impaired, distracted, and unsafe driving while encouraging occupant protection, pedestrian and bicycle safety, and development of best practices for emergency medical and trauma care systems as part of a comprehensive highway and traffic safety system. This funding supports the National Driver Register's Problem Driver Pointer System, which helps to identify drivers who have been suspended for or convicted of serious traffic offenses, such as driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Finally, this funding will allow NHTSA to improve its vital data collection and analysis, which drives all the agency's safety activities. Exhibit III-1a: Summary of Analysis of Changes
