Onboarding

Grant recipients will attend welcome activities hosted by FHWA to learn about the SS4A program and understand program requirements. This will ensure that grant recipients are equipped to navigate the program successfully.

Grant Agreement Execution

The grant agreement is a legal document signed by the grant recipient and FHWA that authorizes grant recipients to start working on their project. During this step of the process, grant recipients will draft and execute their grant agreements.

Performing the Project Work, Getting Reimbursed, and Reporting

Grant recipients will perform their project work as outlined in the agreement and complete grant administration requirements such as submitting required progress and financial reports and request reimbursements for eligible costs on a regular basis.

Project Closeout

Once project activities are completed, recipients will submit all final reports, reimbursement requests, and initiate a closeout grant agreement amendment. Grant recipients will receive notification when their project is officially closed out.
