U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced on February 23, 2016 that $500 million will be made available for transportation projects across the country under an eighth round of Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) competitive grant program.

Like the first seven rounds, Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 TIGER discretionary grants will fund capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure and will be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that will have a significant impact on the nation, a metropolitan area, or a region. The 2016 TIGER grant program will focus on capital projects that generate economic development and improve access to reliable, safe and affordable transportation for communities, both urban and rural. TIGER funding is provided in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, signed by President Obama on December 18, 2015. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, does not provide dedicated funding for the planning, preparation, or design of capital projects; however, these activities may be funded as part of an overall construction project.

Applications are due April 29, 2016. Applications must be submitted through http://www.grants.gov.

For more information on how to apply, visit http://www.transportation.gov/TIGER, or contact the TIGER Discretionary Grants program staff via email at TIGERGrants@dot.gov.

For general information, contact Region 10’s Amy Changchien at 206-220-4464 or email amy.changchien@dot.gov.

Sincerely,
