Safe Streets and Roads for All Match Pilot Program

Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Match Opportunities is presented by the Kansas Department of Transportation as a resource for Kansas entities pursuing the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All Grant Program. The underlying SS4A program is a five year federal discretionary program operating from 2022 through 2026 with $5 billion in federal funding. Its purpose is to support regional, local, and Tribal initiatives designed to prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries. The Kansas Department of Transportation page also describes state support that has helped Kansas applicants and grantees address local matching requirements associated with SS4A awards. SS4A funding can support planning, demonstration projects, and implementation projects covering transportation safety activities. The source specifically identifies education, engineering, enforcement, and emergency response as areas that may be addressed. Since 2022, approximately $67 million in federal SS4A funding has been provided to 62 grantees across Kansas. The Kansas Department of Transportation and the Build Kansas Fund have additionally provided more than $15 million in state funds to cover part or all of local match requirements. These amounts describe funding and assistance provided to date and do not establish a current award minimum, maximum, or currently available funding pool for the Kansas match opportunity. The source describes the federal SS4A program as supporting regional, local, and Tribal initiatives. For the Kansas match opportunity specifically, the page directs prospective applicants to inquire with the Kansas Infrastructure Hub regarding the availability of the Build Kansas Fund for local match support. The page does not provide a comprehensive eligibility list, legal entity requirements, applicant size requirements, or a separate application process for obtaining Kansas match assistance. Because the page is published by the Kansas Department of Transportation and discusses state support for Kansas SS4A applicants and grantees, the relevant geography for this match opportunity is Kansas. The source does not provide an application opening date, application deadline, pre-application deadline, rolling application statement, or recurring application schedule for the Kansas match opportunity. It also does not identify a required letter of intent, concept paper, pre-proposal, notice of intent, or other pre-application gate. No application form, portal, required attachments, narrative questions, budget documents, evaluation criteria, scoring system, or formal submission steps are stated on the page. Applicants are instead directed to the Kansas Infrastructure Hub for technical assistance in pursuing SS4A grants and to inquire about Build Kansas Fund availability for local match support. The page provides several supporting resources for applicants, including the Kansas Infrastructure Hub, the Build Kansas Fund, U.S. Department of Transportation SS4A grant information, and the FHWA SS4A Clearinghouse. These resources can support applicants pursuing the underlying federal SS4A opportunity, but the page itself does not establish additional application requirements. It also provides information about prior Kansas SS4A activity, stating that 2.8 million people, representing 96 percent of the state's population, live in areas that are or will be covered by a Safety Action Plan. For contact purposes, the page directs interested parties to the Kansas Department of Transportation Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act team through an email contact link, but it does not display a specific email address or name an individual grant contact in the supplied source. The Kansas Department of Transportation general contact information includes a phone number of 785-296-3566 and an address at the Eisenhower State Office Building, 700 SW Harrison Street, Topeka, Kansas 66603-3745. Because no current application window, award schedule, performance period, or recurring deadline is provided for the Kansas match opportunity, those timeline elements require verification through the Kansas Infrastructure Hub or other official application materials before entry.
