Bike Board Members,

Would anyone like to pursue even more funding from the TIGER Grants for Sustainable Transportation Projects? It's due April 28, 2014. I'm not going to do it without help, and I even hesitate to get wrapped into more grant writing, but I hate to miss opportunities, too.

Thoughts?

Here's a little info:

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is making $600 million available for a sixth round of its Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants to help fund local and state infrastructure projects. DOT evaluates TIGER proposals on criteria that include environmental sustainability, livability and economic competitiveness. Applicants must request no less than $10 million ($1 million minimum in rural areas) and provide at least 20 percent match. In addition, up to $35 million is available in this round to support transportation planning activities. Sustainable Strategies DC has helped a number of communities win TIGER grants. Contact us for help in preparing your proposal. Click here for more information.
