This Grants.gov announcement — Safe Streets and Roads for All Funding Opportunity — is cataloged under number DOT-SS4A-FY26-01 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 20.939, posted by 69A345 Office of the Under Secretary for Policy.

Award economics. The award range on file is $100,000 -- $25,000,000. The agency has projected $993.5 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 500 awards. If the agency funds the expected 500 awards from the $993.5 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $2.0 million. 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.

Deadline and action path. Applications close on May 26, 2026. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully — federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.
