Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Transportation published an amendment to the FY24 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The amendment:
- Increases the amount available to implement projects and strategies from $580 million to $780 million.
- Clarifies that funding awards to applicants submitted after each deadline are contingent on remaining funds. Funds are available on a rolling “first-come, first-served” basis.
- Waives up to $200,000 in non-Federal match for applications from certain U.S. territories.
- Removes the option for unsuccessful Implementation Grant applicants to apply for a Planning and Demonstration Grant. Implementation Grant applicants are encouraged to bundle requests for supplemental planning and demonstration activities into their Implementation Grant application.
The remaining deadlines for the SS4A FY24 Notice of Funding Opportunity are as follows:
- April 24, 2024: *New* deadline for technical questions related to the FY24 SS4A NOFO.
- May 16, 2024, by 5 PM ET: Sole deadline for Implementation Grants. Deadline #2 for Planning and Demonstration Grants.
- August 29, 2024, by 5 PM ET: Deadline #3 for Planning and Demonstration Grants. FY24 NOFO closes.
The Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) was established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This discretionary grant program will provide $5 billion in grant funding over five years. Funding supports regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. The SS4A program supports the Department of Transportation’s National Roadway Safety Strategy and the goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on our nation’s roadways.
