Project Readiness Checklist

Description:

Some U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) discretionary grant programs review and score grant applications on “project readiness,” a term that refers to how ready an applicant is to deliver a project. Each program’s Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will state whether DOT intends to review or score the application for project readiness. Sometimes “project implementation” or “project planning” may be used to indicate the same concept.  This checklist provides generalized background and guidance on factors to consider for project readiness. It does not constitute a standard, specification, or regulation or create requirements other than those stipulated in statute and regulation.
