Featured Funding Opportunities and Grant Assistance:

Department of Transportation has released the TIGER Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The application deadline is October 16. Webinars regarding “TIGER BCAs” and “How to Apply” will be held from 2:00-4:00pm on September 13, 18, and 19. The TIGER program office will notify past applicants of the opportunity to apply and provide instructions on how to register for the webinars. The program has remained largely unchanged from previous rounds; the primary differences are that there will be more focus on applications which exceed the minimum cost share requirements and on projects that serve communities in rural areas.

Here is the updated TIGER website: www.transportation.gov/tiger
