Opportunity Information: Apply for DOT SS4A FY25 01
The Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Funding Opportunity (FY 2025) is a competitive U.S. Department of Transportation grant program designed to reduce roadway deaths and serious injuries for all users of the transportation system. The funding supports two broad types of work: (1) planning and demonstration activities that help communities develop, test, and refine safety approaches, and (2) implementation projects and strategies that directly put proven safety measures into practice. In both cases, the core goal is preventing fatal and severe crashes across streets and roads used by drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and others.
Applications must be submitted through the Valid Eval platform rather than Grants.gov, and the solicitation is explicit about this requirement. There are separate Valid Eval entry points for the two funding tracks: one for Planning and Demonstration Grants (https://usg.valideval.com/teams/usdotss4a2025planningdemo/signup) and one for Implementation Grants (https://usg.valideval.com/teams/usdotss4a2025implementation/signup). The deadline is firm: applications must be fully submitted by 5:00 PM EDT on Thursday, June 26, 2025, and the system will not accept submissions after that time. Late applications are not considered unless the delay is caused by a technical issue attributable to Valid Eval itself, and even then the applicant must notify Valid Eval support (support@valideval.com) describing the issue no later than 1:00 PM ET on June 26, 2025.
Eligible applicants are public-sector and qualifying governmental entities involved in transportation planning and roadway safety. Specifically called out are metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), political subdivisions of a state or territory (which commonly includes counties, cities, towns, and similar local governments), federally recognized Tribal governments, and multijurisdictional groups made up of eligible entities (for example, multiple local governments applying together). The eligibility listing also includes county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, reflecting the program’s intent to reach a wide range of public entities that can plan for and deliver roadway safety improvements.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant (not a formula allocation), offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation under the Office of the Under Secretary for Policy (Agency code 69A345). The opportunity number is DOT SS4A FY25 01, and it is associated with CFDA number 20.939. The notice indicates an anticipated total of about 500 awards, with an award ceiling of $25,000,000 per award, signaling that the program expects a mix of smaller planning efforts and larger implementation projects depending on community needs and the strength of each proposal.
In practical terms, the SS4A opportunity is focused on helping communities move from identifying safety problems to taking action, whether that means building a plan and piloting countermeasures or deploying strategies at scale to reduce serious crashes. The key compliance takeaways are submitting through the correct Valid Eval portal for the grant type, not using Grants.gov, and planning ahead to meet the submission deadline since the platform will not accept late applications.Apply for DOT SS4A FY25 01
