Apply/Resources

Ready to apply for funding? Here's everything you need to get started.

Pre-applications for SMART SCALE funding must be submitted by April 1 of each even-numbered year, with final applications due no later than August 1. Please note for certain high-risk documents, VDOT staff engagement in the creation or review of the document should be currently underway and continue through the April 1 pre-application submission deadline. During pre-application validation from April 1 - April 30, staff will confirm for each document that they were engaged by the applicant and that the document is on track to be completed before July 15. For more information on this, see below the “Readiness Gates Appendix in the SMART SCALE Technical Guide." To make sure your project receives its highest possible score, please download and review the materials below. When you’re ready, sign in and apply online.

Resources for previous rounds (FY2017 – FY2024) are available upon request. Please use the Contact Us page for points of contact.
