Application Guidelines
West Virginia is in their third call for applications, and their Review Board is scheduled to meet at the end of February 2009.
West Virginia has established an annual timeline for applications that include submitting Intent-to-Apply (ITA) forms the 15th of November each year. Candidates who submit ITAs that meet the intent of the SRTS legislation are then sent applications that are due the 15th of January each year. The Governor announces SRTS grant recipients in accordance with his schedule. Fiscal year 2007 awards were announced on May 31, 2007. Fiscal year 2008 awards will be announced in accordance with the Governor’s schedule.
West Virginia has a two-part Intent-to-Apply form and separate applications for infrastructure projects and non-infrastructure activities. However, a candidate that applies for infrastructure funding must incorporate the non-infrastructure component activities of education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation with 10% to 30% of the funding request dedicated to non-infrastructure activities as specified by SAFETEA-LU legislation.
For more information, please see the West Virginia SRTS program.
