Funds for the fiscal year (FY) 2025 SS4A grant program are to be awarded on a competitive basis to support planning and demonstration activities, as well as projects and strategies to prevent death and serious injury on roads and streets involving all roadway users.
Types of Grants
The SS4A program provides funding for two main types of grants: Planning and Demonstration Grants for Action Plans, including supplemental safety planning, and/or safety demonstration activities; and Implementation Grants. Planning and Demonstration Grants are used to develop, complete, or supplement an Action Plan, as well as carry out demonstration activities that inform an Action Plan. Implementation Grants are used to implement strategies or projects that are consistent with an existing Action Plan and may also bundle funding requests for supplemental planning and demonstration activities that inform the Action Plan.
- Planning and Demonstration Grants
- Planning and Demonstration Grants have three different types of eligible activities:
- Develop an Action Plan;
- Conduct supplemental safety planning to enhance an Action Plan; and
- Carry out demonstration activities to inform the development of, or an update to, an Action Plan.
- Planning and Demonstration Grants have three different types of eligible activities:
- Implementation Grants
- Implementation Grants fund projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan that address roadway safety problems. Implementation Grants may also fund supplemental planning and demonstration activities, as well as planning, design, and development activities for projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan (e.g., project-level National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance, associated environmental review activities, permits and approvals, construction design, etc.). DOT encourages Implementation Grant applicants to include supplemental planning and demonstration activities in their application.
