We are pleased to present the following proposal to support the City of Columbia Heights in the pursuit
of SS4A Action Plan Grant funds. These efforts are expected to include assistance with one SS4A
Planning Grant application. Upon approval of this proposal, Bolton & Menk will prepare and package the
application and supporting materials that provide for a competitive submittal.
Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Action Plan Application Background
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) established the new Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
discretionary program which will award approximately $5 billion in appropriated funds over the next 5
years. In fiscal year 2022 (FY22) there is up to $1 billion available. The SS4A program funds regional,
local, and Tribal initiatives through grants to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries.
In FY 2022, DOT expects to award hundreds of Action Plan Grants, and up to one hundred
Implementation Grants. For Action Plan Grants, award amounts will be based on estimated costs,
with an expected minimum of $200,000 for all applicants, an expected maximum of $1,000,000 for
a political subdivision of a State or a federally recognized Tribal government, and an expected
maximum of $5,000,000 for a metropolitan planning organization (MPO) or a joint application
comprised of a multijurisdictional group of entities that is regional in scope. The Department will
consider applications with funding requests under the expected minimum award amount. Other
action plan/program considerations include:
• 20% local match required,
• Joint jurisdictional apps are highly encouraged,
If awarded, action plan effort to start within 12 months of award and to be completed
within 24 months,
• There will be reporting requirements to track outcomes of the use of funds, and
• Application is due September 15.
Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer.
