Our Mission

The mission of the Office of Highway Safety and Justice Programs (OHSJP) is to utilize state and federal resources to educate the public on highway safety issues for the purpose of reducing and eventually eliminating fatal crashes and injuries; to initiate and coordinate statewide education and enforcement campaigns and programs to promote highway safety goals; to partner with law enforcement agencies and others on highway safety initiatives; to serve as a custodian of statewide collision statistics; and to further the administration of justice through improvements to the criminal and juvenile justice systems through the administration of subgrants.

Attention All SCDPS Grants Users:

As you may be aware, the South Carolina Department of Public Safety’s Office of Highway Safety and Justice Programs (OHSJP) is transitioning to a new grants management system, IntelliGrants. As such, the OHSJP’s current system, SCDPS Grants, located at www.scdpsgrants.com, will be shut down on September 30, 2025. Application information contained in the SCDPS Grants system will not be migrated to the new IntelliGrants system. Therefore, each SCDPS Grants user that wishes to print/save a copy of any of their agency’s applications from SCDPS Grants must do so prior to September 30, 2025.

It is the responsibility of each user to save their own applications for future reference, as the OHSJP will not maintain copies of all applications from SCDPS Grants. Thank you for your cooperation, and please contact a Program Coordinator if you have any questions or require technical assistance.
