Programs
The Bureau of Highway Safety (BHS) administers federally funded categorical grant programs offered by the US Department of Transportation and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). NHTSA funds support of highway safety projects. The BHS develops annual statewide comprehensive plans which outline major problem areas and proposes spending plans to address identified problems.
Additionally, the Bureau is responsible for Maine's Implied Consent Program, Maine Driving Dynamics (MDD), and Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). Implied Consent is the program that tests drivers suspected of Operating Under the Influence (OUI) of alcohol or other drugs. This program consists of the chemical analysis of blood, breath, or urine samples by certified laboratories, plus, instant breath analysis by breath testing instruments. The MDD course is a five hour defensive driving/driver improvement program developed by BHS. FARS is an automated system which records data on fatal crashes in Maine for input to a larger national record system.
