Tips Craft your proposal using MS Word first and then cut and paste your responses into the proposal Save often as there is a 20 minute time-out with the application Start the proposal on VOA as early as possible in case of any questions or issues Use a PC with a high speed connection for the best results Attempt to keep your documents as small in size as possible. Large image files will take a long time to upload to the system. The system will only accept files with the following extensions: .doc(MS Word) .xls (MS Excel) .mpp (MS Project) .ppt (MS PowerPoint) .pdf (Adobe PDF) Submit your proposal with ample time to spare prior to deadline Proposals will not be accepted or evaluated in hardcopy format Please call the DOT helpdesk if you encounter technical difficulties at 1-866-466-5221
