Q: I applied for and was awarded a federal grant before September 24, 2022, but the federal grant agreement is not yet executed. Could I apply to the AZ SMART Fund to cover the match for the grant?

A: Yes, as long as the federal grant agreement has not been executed prior to the date of an award being approved by the State Transportation Board. If the federal grant agreement has already been executed, the match cannot be provided by the AZ SMART Fund.
