USDOT recently released the fiscal year (FY) 2026 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the program.

The SS4A program funds regional, local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to improve safety and prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries.

Approximately $1 billion remains available for the next funding round.

The SS4A program provides funding for two main grant types:

- 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.

The deadline for applications is May 26, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. (ET).
