Performance Period: 12-24 months
Implementation Grants
Grants for projects and strategies to address roadway safety problems identified in an Action Plan or qualifying substitute. See pages 13-15 of the NOFO document to determine if existing plans meet Action Plan requirements.

Applicants may not apply for an Action Plan Grant and an Implementation Grant in the same funding cycle.
