Regional offices will review the applications, against the criteria previously identified, and submit a list of qualified contributions to the Assistant Deputy Minister, Programs and Divestiture, who approves the funding of all contributions under this program. 

Transport Canada officials may contact the Applicant to obtain additional information, to arrange a site visit, or to discuss the project design and cost estimates. 

The Regional Director General will advise Applicants as soon as possible if their application has not been forwarded to Headquarters for funding consideration.

The Assistant Deputy Minister, Programs and Divestiture will review the qualified applications received from the regions and determine whether or not a contribution will be funded. All Applicants will be advised whether or not their application has been approved for funding in the upcoming fiscal year.

An eligible Applicant is not automatically entitled to receive financial assistance under this program. The frequency and amount of assistance under this program is dependent on the availability of funding and at the discretion of Transport Canada. 
No entitlement exists.

Applicants whose projects cannot be funded will be advised that they have been placed on a reserve list. If, by September 1, the project has still not been funded, the Applicant will be asked to reconfirm the necessity for their project and the validity of the design work and cost estimates.

Applicants whose projects have been funded, now referred to as Recipients, will be required to enter into a Contribution Agreement specifying the nature and scope of the work to be performed and the maximum contribution by the Crown. The appropriate Regional Office will negotiate the Contribution Agreement. Normally, the Contribution Agreement will be in place by April 1^st.
