# PHMSA Announces $128 Million Safety Grants

On September 30, 2026, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) announced $128.2 million across 164 grants for pipeline and hazardous-materials safety training, inspections, emergency response, and drone technology. The funding includes $97.3 million for pipeline safety and $30.8 million for hazmat safety. PHMSA describes this as grant funding, not an open contractor solicitation, so procurement professionals should distinguish grant opportunities for eligible organizations from direct contract opportunities.

- Organizations seeking grant funding can consult the announcement’s related documents for state-by-state amounts.
- Contractors serving pipeline and hazmat safety programs can use the funding breakdown to identify which safety activities and geographies are receiving support; the announcement itself does not provide a contractor solicitation or award instructions.
- The funding supports work in training, inspections, emergency response, and drone technology, areas relevant to organizations providing those services or capabilities.
