How Can We Help You?
The SS4A Technical Assistance Center offers resources and support for SS4A grant recipients. Please contact SS4A.FHWA@dot.gov and a member of the SS4A TAC team will respond.
As the SS4A TAC continues to build and create new resources, it will rely on SS4A grant recipient input and recommendations. Please contact SS4A.FHWA@dot.gov with any topics of interest or to provide feedback.
The SS4A TAC team will continue to provide CoP updates on the SS4A Clearinghouse. The SS4A TAC team also emails CoP event information to all SS4A grant recipients and interested stakeholders. Please contact SS4A.FHWA@dot.gov to be added to the CoP mailing list.
To the extent possible, the SS4A Technical Assistance Center (TAC) encourages CoP members to collaborate with one another. In the coming months, the SS4A TAC will ask CoP participants about their preferences on sharing contact information. Please stay tuned for more information.
SS4A grant recipients are encouraged to join the SS4A CoP if they are interested in contributing to a goal of reducing roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Let’s all work together to share roadway safety challenges and solutions.
SS4A grant recipients can review the full federal closeout guidance on the Code of Federal Regulations at 2 CFR 200.344.
Project closeout should occur within one year after the SS4A grant recipient’s period of performance ends.
SS4A grant recipients must follow their organization's written procurement guidelines and comply with all applicable Federal requirements, including but not limited to 2 CFR 200.317 thru 200.327, 2 CFR 200.400 thru 200.401, 2 CFR 200.403 through 200.405, and 2 CFR 200.430. For more information on contracting and subawards, grant recipients can refer to Article 18 within the General Terms and Conditions in their respective executed grant agreement as well as the SS4A April 2024 Community of Practice webinar on procurement.
Depending on the timing of the executed grant agreement, an amendment may not be required. SS4A grant recipients should contact their primary SS4A point of contact (POC) to determine if an amendment is required. It is important to keep in mind that consultants are not official representatives of an SS4A grant recipient for administrative requirements and matters like certifications that may be required and invoice submittals.
Infrastructure safety projects that receive Federal funds must abide by any applicable Federal design standard requirements, including but not limited to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, as well as any applicable guidance. Grant recipients may also be required to follow any applicable State design standards, which will depend on whether the activities are occurring on a State-owned road and the extent to which State design standards apply to roadways owned by non-State entities such as in the instance of county-owned roads or local roads maintained and owned by a city. Applicants should indicate in their application if they will be seeking permission to use roadway design standards that are different from those generally applied by the State in which the project is located.
