The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has released the FY26 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grants. The nearly $1 billion in SS4A funding will provide resources for regional, local and tribal initiatives to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. Grant applications are due Tuesday, May 26, 2026, by 5 PM ET.
As stated on page three of the NOFO document, “The FY 2026 NOFO substantively differs from the FY 2025 NOFO in the following ways:
- DOT is placing a priority on Public Safety Infrastructure.
- Section B. Definitions. Clarifying information is added regarding Public Safety Infrastructure for post-crash care, emergency response coordination, and prehospital blood transfusion activities.”
“Applications will be more competitive if they modernize public safety infrastructure, including prehospital blood transfusion capabilities and improve post-crash care,” according to page 22 of the same document.
Access the DOT press release for more information. “We are empowering our state and local partners to modernize vital infrastructure and reduce roadway fatalities,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. “This grant program will cover everything from ensuring paramedics can reach you faster in an emergency to making sure kids are safer when walking to school. No matter how you and your family travel, we are working at the speed of Trump to make sure you get there safely.”
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of EMS and National 911 Program encourages 911 centers and EMS agencies to apply for funding independently or in partnership with local, regional, health, planning or transportation partners.
