Today the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) was released for DOT TIGER grants. The program expects to make up to $500 million in transportation infrastructure awards. This is a good opportunity to identify where there are transportation needs and linkages to your Brownfield Area-wide Pilot project areas. Note the highlighted section below, which calls out HUD-DOT-EPA Partnership efforts and specifically mentions the EPA Brownfield Area-Wide Pilot Program for special consideration (reference pg 34 of NOFA).
Pre-applications are due February 20 and applications are due March 19.
The eligible applicants list is on pg 6. Nonprofits organizations -- please talk with your local MPO or government entity who will be applying for TIGER funds so your transportation needs can be considered.
