To Whom It May Concern from the City of Somerville,
The West Broadway Vision Zero Supplemental Action Plan, for the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) FY22 Safe
Streets and Roads for All Supplemental Action Plan, was selected for award. Congratulations! The selection is for
$116800 in Federal funding.
This email is not authorization to begin work, and it does not guarantee Federal funding. USDOT and City of Somerville
must establish and execute a signed, mutually agreed upon grant agreement prior to the disbursement of award funds.
No costs incurred before USDOT signs and executes the grant agreement will be reimbursed. Below provides
information on next steps.
Immediate next steps: USDOT will make public announcements related to the awards on Wednesday, February 1. We
will also publish a short summary of the proposal from your application to put on our Safe Streets and Roads for All
website as part of the public announcement, pursuant to Section H Part 2 of the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).
If you want to modify what is provided on our website once you see it, please let me know by emailing SS4A@dot.gov.
The website link is https://www.transportation.gov/grants/SS4A.
What to expect in the next few weeks: My colleagues at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are responsible
for establishing and executing a SS4A grant agreement with City of Somerville. You can expect to hear from a FHWA
representative with your State’s FHWA Division Office in the near future. In the weeks ahead you will receive more
information about next steps, including an invitation to an upcoming FHWA‐sponsored webinar for grant recipients to
describe the process leading to an executed grant agreement. The webinar will be recorded for those who are unable to
2
attend. In the meantime, if you have questions about next steps, please direct them to FHWA using the email
SS4A.FHWA@dot.gov.
Finally, we ask for your patience as we work diligently toward executing grant agreements so your important safety
work may begin. This is a new program, with hundreds of new grant recipients, and it will take us time to process these
grant agreements.
It’s exciting to see so many communities on the path to improving roadway safety, and the whole SS4A Program team is
passionate about helping you succeed. Thank you for your commitment to roadway safety.
