Opportunity Information: Apply for DTFH6116RA00017
The Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTFH6116RA00017) is a discretionary Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) program under the U.S. Department of Transportation that will be awarded as a cooperative agreement. Its central purpose is to continue the ongoing operation and maintenance of the Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse, which functions as a centralized resource for information related to roadway work zone safety. In practice, this kind of clearinghouse typically supports the collection, organization, and dissemination of research findings, guidance, best practices, training materials, and other safety-related resources aimed at reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities in and around highway work zones while helping agencies and industry partners improve work zone planning and operations.
This opportunity is structured as a sole-source requirement, meaning it is not an open competition. Eligibility is explicitly limited to a single applicant: the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA). As a result, other organizations, even if they have relevant expertise, are not eligible to apply. The listing identifies the eligible applicant category as "Others," but the description clarifies the actual limitation to ARTBA alone, reflecting the agency's intent to continue an existing function with the incumbent organization.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $3,570,000. While the record does not specify the number of anticipated awards in the provided data, the sole-source nature strongly implies a single award to ARTBA. The original application closing date is July 29, 2016, and the opportunity was created on July 8, 2016. The program aligns with the transportation funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 20.200, which corresponds to FHWA-related assistance.
Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, FHWA would generally expect to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance. That typically means the agency may collaborate on priorities, review and guide deliverables, and ensure the clearinghouse continues to meet federal objectives for work zone safety outreach and information sharing.Apply for DTFH6116RA00017
