Federal funding opportunity from Department of Transportation
The SS4A program supports the development of a comprehensive safety action plan (referred to as an “Action Plan”) that identifies the most significant roadway safety concerns in a community and the implementation of projects and strategies to address roadway safety issues. Action Plans are the foundation of the SS4A grant program.
SS4A requires an eligible Action Plan be in place before applying to implement projects and strategies.
The SS4A program provides funding for two types of grants: Planning and Demonstration Grants and Implementation Grants.
- Planning and Demonstration Grants provide Federal funds to develop, complete, or supplement an Action Plan. The goal of an Action Plan is to develop a holistic, well-defined strategy to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries in a locality, Tribal area, or region.
Planning and Demonstration Grants also fund supplemental planning activities in support of an Action Plan, and demonstration activities in support of an Action Plan. - Implementation Grants provide Federal funds to implement projects and strategies identified in an Action Plan to address a roadway safety problem. Eligible projects and strategies can be infrastructural, behavioral, and/or operational activities. Implementation Grants may also include supplemental planning and demonstration activities to inform an existing Action Plan, and project-level planning, design, and development activities.
Applicants must have an eligible Action Plan to apply for an Implementation Grant. New in FY24, potential Implementation Grant applicants may submit their Action Plan(s) for pre-application review so that USDOT may affirm their eligibility to apply for an Implementation Grant.
Eligible Applicants: Political subdivisions of a State, which includes counties, cities, towns, transit agencies, and other special districts, Metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), Federally recognized Tribal governments.
Deadline:
- Implementation Grants – May 16, 2024

- Rural Economic Development Loan & Grant Program in Missouri - Deadline Sept. 30, 2024
Federal funding opportunity from the Department of Agriculture
The Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant programs provide funding for rural projects through local utility organizations. USDA provides zero-interest loans to local utilities which they, in turn, pass through to local businesses (ultimate recipients) for projects that will create and retain employment in rural areas. The ultimate recipients repay the lending utility directly. The utility is responsible for repayment to USDA. USDA provides grants to local utility organizations which use the funding to establish Revolving Loan Funds (RLF). Loans are made from the revolving loan fund to projects that will create or retain rural jobs. When the revolving loan fund is terminated, the grant is repaid to USDA.
The local utility applies to USDA for funding support on behalf of specified local projects. Projects may begin after the submission of an application, but there is no guarantee of approval. If approved, USDA will then issue funds to the local utility for the specified project. Eligible projects include: Business incubators, and community development assistance to nonprofits and public bodies (particularly for job creation or enhancement). Facilities and equipment to educate and train rural residents to help economic development. Facilities and equipment for medical care for rural residents. Start-up venture costs, including, but not limited to, financing fixed assets such as real estate, buildings, equipment, or working capital. Business expansion and technical assistance.
Eligibility: Current Rural Utilities Service (RUS), electric or telecommunication borrower. Any former RUS borrower that has repaid or prepaid an insured, direct or guaranteed loan under the Rural Electrification Act.
