The Department of Transportation has released the fiscal year (FY) 2025 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program.
Established by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. Over $982 million is made available by this NOFO, and a similar amount is expected to be available next year in a future funding round.
Two Available Grant Types
The SS4A program provides funding for two main types of 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.
Applications and Deadline
The NOFO is posted on Grants.gov. The deadline for applications is June 26, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. (EDT).
Applications must be submitted via Valid Eval, an online application portal used by USDOT.
