About this program
The Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration administers the E-911 Grant Program (CFDA 20.615) to provide federal financial assistance for the implementation and operation of 911 services, E-911 services, migration to IP-enabled emergency networks, and adoption and operation of NG911 services and applications. The program has not issued grant awards since August 2019, more than seven years ago, and no open grant opportunities are currently posted.
The most recent grant activity consists of 36 formula grants awarded on August 9, 2019, to state and territorial 911 programs. All 36 awards were issued to close out fiscal year 2019 funds, with combined federal dollars obligated totaling $89.2 million. Award sizes ranged from $13,191 (Puerto Rico) to $10,898,863 (California), with typical state awards ranging between $1.9 million and $3.8 million. Representatives of recent awards include Texas at $6.08 million, Florida at $6.314 million, Pennsylvania at $4.886 million, and Illinois at $5.229 million, all obligated on the same date. The program operates exclusively through formula grants, with no competitive project grants or cooperative agreements in the active portfolio.
NHTSA is the sole funding agency for this program. The most recent posted grant opportunity (solicitation NHTSA-NTIA-911-GRANT-PROGRAM-2018) closed on April 2, 2019, and required a two-step application process with certification by a designated 911 coordinator. Eligible applicants were states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and tribal organizations. The opportunity emphasized funding for equipment and operational upgrades enabling digital, IP-based, broadband-enabled technologies for emergency response coordination.
The seven-year gap between the final fiscal year 2019 awards and the present date, combined with the absence of posted solicitations, indicates the program is inactive. Any organization considering pursuit should verify current funding availability and solicitation status through NHTSA and Grants.gov before committing resources.
