U.S. Department of Transportation expects to obligate SS4A funding via a signed grant agreement between the Department and the SS4A grant recipient within 12 months after awards have been announced. Individual grant recipient timelines may vary depending on the complexity of project, status of project readiness, and other factors. Funding is expected to be provided on a reimbursement basis once a grant agreement is established, with corresponding invoices. In the meantime, SS4A grant recipients can review the SS4A Introductory Webinar, on Step 1 of the Grant Recipient Roadmap, to learn more about how to start their SS4A journey.
