DOT released $500 million in funding for the FY12
Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Discretionary
Grants. TIGER grants aim to spur a
national competition for innovative road, rail, transit and port projects that
promise significant economic and environmental benefits to an entire
metropolitan area, a region, or the nation.
Each project is multi-modal, multi-jurisdictional or otherwise
challenging to fund through existing programs.
In the latest round of grants, 43% of the awarded projects are in the
NEMW region, equaling 39% of the total funding.
