The grant agreement is typically used when the beneficiary of a project is a state agency other than TxDOT, a local jurisdiction (such as a city or county), or a non-governmental entity (such as Bike Texas or the Texas District and County Attorney’s Association). Any amendment to the grant agreement must be in writing and fully executed by all parties in accordance with signature delegation authority.

Traffic safety grant agreements and amendments are executed by the Traffic Safety Division (TRF) Director, who may delegate according to TxDOT policy. The TRF-BTS Director can also approve a grant agreement of any dollar amount in the absence of the Deputy Division Director and Division Director.
