    Summary

    The NG9-1-1 Funding and PSAP Grant Program is a multi-million dollar funding and grant program administered by the Virginia 9-1-1 Services Board. Presently, the Commonwealth of Virginia is implementing Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) statewide as the current analog network that provides 9-1-1 call delivery to Virginia PSAPs is going away.

    In FY2025, funding will be primarily dedicated to the following project areas:

    • Call Handling Equipment (CHE) to replace outdated CHE after NG9-1-1 go-live. 
    • Enterprise GIS Software & Data Maintenance and Data Transfer to meet local needs in keeping GIS data layers critical for Next Generation 9-1-1 current and accurate to ground conditions and available for Next Generation 9-1-1 Core Services and local PSAP system. 
    • PSAP Education Program (PEP) to provide funding for PSAP personnel, and those who support local 9-1-1 operations, to attend 9-1-1 and GIS educational and training opportunities.  
     

    History of Funding

    None is available.

    Additional Information

    Over the next few years, 9-1-1 service providers will be decommissioning the selective router pairs that comprise the foundation of this legacy analog network. To identify the best course to implement NG9-1-1, the 9-1-1 Services Board (the Board”) conducted an NG9-1-1 feasibility study in 2015 and made the decision to transition to a statewide IP-based infrastructure, known as an emergency services IP network (ESInet). With planning efforts completed, the Board is now focused on implementing NG9-1-1 throughout the commonwealth.
