About the Grants Program
The CDOT Subrecipient Grants Support Unit (SGSU) was established in 2024 to better support organizations that receive grant funding from CDOT.
As the number and size of grant programs at CDOT continue to grow, the SGSU serves as a central resource to make the grant process clearer, more consistent, and easier to navigate for our partners across the state. Our team of grant specialists is here to help you understand and meet program requirements by offering:
- Training and technical assistance on grant processes, policies and procedures
- User-friendly documentation to guide you through each step of the grant lifecycle
- Improved tools and resources through a centralized website
- Support and coordination across CDOT offices to reduce delays and streamline communications
- More transparency into the status of awards, contracts and next steps
Whether you’re applying for a new grant or managing an active one, SGSU is here to help you succeed and ensure transportation funding is used efficiently and effectively across Colorado. If you have questions or need help, do not hesitate to reach out to our team!
