Opportunity Information: Apply for DOT SS4A FY22 01
The Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Discretionary Grant Program is a U.S. Department of Transportation competitive grant opportunity designed to help communities reduce and prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. For the FY 2022 funding round, the program supports a wide mix of safety-focused work, ranging from early-stage planning to on-the-ground changes and practical operations. The central idea is to improve safety for every type of road user, not only people driving cars, but also pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation riders, micromobility and personal conveyance users, and commercial vehicle operators. In other words, it is aimed at comprehensive safety outcomes across the full transportation system rather than a single mode.
The program is administered by the Department of Transportation, Office of the Under Secretary for Policy (Agency code 69A345). It is a discretionary grant, meaning awards are made through a competitive selection process rather than a formula distribution. The funding activity category is Transportation, and the CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 20.939. The notice was created on May 16, 2022, and the original application deadline for this round was September 15, 2022. The opportunity anticipates a large number of awards, with an estimated 300 grants expected, and it lists an award ceiling of up to $50,000,000 per award, indicating that some projects could be large in scale depending on the proposal and program priorities.
SS4A funding is intended to cover several types of initiatives that contribute to safer streets and roads. Planning efforts can include developing or refining safety strategies, identifying high-risk corridors and intersections, collecting and analyzing crash and near-crash data, and creating actionable road safety plans that guide future investments. Implementation efforts can include infrastructure changes and operational or behavioral strategies, which may involve physical improvements to the roadway environment, safety treatments for people walking or biking, intersection and corridor redesigns, speed management approaches, better signals and markings, safety lighting, and other interventions that reduce conflict points and crash severity. Behavioral and operational initiatives can include programs and strategies that influence safe behavior and improve how streets are managed and operated, provided they are tied to the goal of reducing fatalities and serious injuries for all users.
This funding round distinguishes between two main grant tracks: Implementation Grants and Action Plan Grants. Applicants need to select the correct application package based on what they are proposing. Implementation Grant applicants are directed to use application materials in PKG00274329, while Action Plan Grant applicants should use PKG00274330. The notice emphasizes reviewing the application instructions carefully to determine which category fits the proposed work, since the requirements, expected deliverables, and review standards can differ between planning-focused applications and those that are ready to carry out projects.
Eligible applicants are public sector entities with direct responsibilities for transportation and roadway safety at the local and regional level. Specifically, eligibility includes county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. This eligibility list signals that the program is primarily intended for governmental or quasi-governmental entities that can plan for, build, operate, and maintain transportation safety improvements within their jurisdictions or service areas.
Overall, the SS4A Discretionary Grant Program functions as a major federal funding source for local, regional, and tribal governments that want to move toward a more systematic, evidence-based approach to traffic safety. By funding both planning and implementation, the program is structured to help communities either develop a clear pipeline of safety actions or accelerate work that is already well-defined, with the shared objective of preventing fatal and serious-injury crashes across all modes of travel.Apply for DOT SS4A FY22 01
