Additional award consideration will be made for applicants who have a high percentage of funds that benefit underserved communities, are in rural areas, request less than $10 million in federal funds, support geographic diversity amongst the Implementation Grant recipients, have a finalized comprehensive safety action plan, and/or have a high killed and serious injuries per $1 million in federal funding rate.

Eligible Entities: Includes counties, cities, towns, transit agencies, other special districts, metropolitan planning organizations, and federally recognized Tribal governments, among others
