Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources — factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.

Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID.

Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.

Description

This project involves design and installation of a new system to monitor train traffic that crisscrosses the City of Terre Haute. The system will use a series of detectors (eye-safe lasers, radar, etc.) mounted on existing poles, in existing public right-of-way, to detect the presence of trains at 15 critical crossings in the city and to collect information about the direction, speed and length of detected trains. Collected data will then be sent via the City?s existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to a server located in the E911 Center where it will be processed using custom software. Dispatchers and First Responders will then use this information to make informed dispatch and routing decisions, and, therefore, reduce emergency response time by avoiding blocked or potentially blocked crossings where time lost waiting for a crossing to clear could contribute to injury or death.
