Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Grants from the USDOT are now open. This grant program will award $1.25billion in direct, accessible grants to local communities to improve roadway safety. Funds may be used towards the development of road safety action plans, implementation of effective interventions to improve unsafe roadway corridors, and testing new safety features.
With more than $1 billion available this year, the Department encourages all interested communities to apply, especially communities that have not applied to date. For Planning and Demonstration Grants, USDOT has further encouraged communities with higher needs to apply by providing additional award consideration to those with higher fatality rates. The Department compiled a non-exhaustive list of the cities and counties that meet that threshold online and will continue to support the information needs of these localities throughout the application period.
The application process for SS4A is designed to be as easy as possible and increased accessibility to this program in this latest funding round, particularly for smaller communities, Tribal governments, and recipients new to Federal funding. This includes multiple deadlines and a longer application period for planning proposals, a pre-application review opportunity to determine eligibility before applying for implementation funding, and clarification about the use of Tribal Transportation Program funds as eligible for local match.
The USDOT has created an online guide for completing this application. We highly recommend reading through their site for full details.
The USDOT has also created several "How to Apply" Webinars which can be found here.

Email: SS4A@dot.gov
Eligible applicants for SS4A grants are:
(1) a metropolitan planning organization (MPO);
(2) a political subdivision of a State or territory;
(3) a federally recognized Tribal government; and
(4) a multijurisdictional group of entities described in any of the aforementioned three types of entities.
A multijurisdictional group of entities described in (4) should identify a lead applicant as the primary point of contact. For the purposes of this NOFO, a political subdivision of a State under (2), above, is defined as a unit of government under the authority of State law. This includes cities, towns, counties, special districts such as public universities, and similar units of local government. A transit district, authority, or public benefit corporation is eligible if it was created under State law, including transit authorities operated by political subdivisions of a State. Non-profits are not eligible applicants unless created under State law with roadway safety and/or planning responsibilities equivalent to a political subdivision of a State. States are not eligible applicants.
An eligible applicant for an Implementation Grant must also meet at least one of these conditions:
(1) have ownership and/or maintenance responsibilities over a roadway network;
(2) have safety responsibilities that affect roadways; or
(3) have agreement from the agency that has ownership and/or maintenance responsibilities for the roadway within the applicant’s jurisdiction.
For the purposes of this NOFO, an applicant’s jurisdiction is defined as the U.S. Census tracts where the applicant operates or performs their safety responsibilities.
The program is offering two types of grants: Implementation Grants and Planning and Demonstration Grants.
Implementation Grants have a single deadline of May 16th.
Planning and Demonstration Grants have multiple application windows: May 16th and August 29th remain.
New in FY24, potential Implementation Grant applicants may submit their Action Plan(s) for pre-application review so that USDOT may affirm their eligibility to apply for an Implementation Grant.
At least 20% match required:
The Federal share of an SS4A grant may not exceed 80 percent of total eligible project costs. Recipients are required to contribute a local matching share of no less than 20 percent of total eligible project costs. Unless otherwise authorized by statute, all matching funds must be from non-Federal sources.
