State Highway Safety Offices (SHSOs) implement behavioral highway safety programs with federal highway safety grant funds largely by sub-allocating federal funding to other state agencies, local agencies (including law enforcement) and nonprofits. SHSOs must monitor these grants to ensure that sub-grantees are spending their funds in the manner intended.

To enhance the state monitoring processes, GHSA examined state monitoring efforts, identified best practices and published a Monitoring Advisory. The Advisory was reviewed by the GHSA Executive Board and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and adopted by the GHSA membership in September 2006.
