SS4A Pre-Application Action Plan Review

Eligible entities that are planning to submit an SS4A Implementation Grant application may submit their Action Plan(s) for pre-application review so that USDOT may affirm or provide details regarding whether the Action Plan meets the eligibility requirements to apply for an Implementation Grant.

Each applicant may request only one Action Plan review. Complete pre-application submissions must be received by 5:00 p.m. (EDT) May 9, 2025.

Planning and Demonstration Grant applicants are not eligible for pre-application submission reviews.

How to Request a Review

To request a pre-application review of your Action Plan(s):

• Email SS4A@dot.gov with the following materials:
  • A completed Self-Certification Eligibility Worksheet
  • Hyperlinks or attachments to any plan(s) referenced in the Self-Certification Eligibility Worksheet
• In the email subject line, write “Implementation Grant Eligibility Review: Applicant Name, State.”
  • E.g., Implementation Grant Eligibility Review: Greenville County, SC

Deadline for Optional Pre-Review

Applicants interested in taking advantage of the Action Plan pre-review must submit all relevant materials by May 9, 2025.

USDOT expects to respond to the applicant within 3 weeks of receipt.

USDOT will not pre-review full application materials nor provide feedback on the quality of the overall application but will provide feedback about each of the required elements in the Self-Certification checklist.

Pre-application review is not required to apply for an SS4A grant.
