U.S. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced that USD 20.5 million in competitive grant funds is available to support planning efforts that improve access to public transit in communities across the country. The grant funds are provided through FTA’s Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Planning Pilot Program.
To be eligible for the Pilot Program, the planning work must be associated with a transit project for which the local community intends to seek funding through FTA’s Capital Investment Grant (CIG) Program or that recently received funding through the CIG Program.
“This funding opportunity will help communities plan development that creates jobs, encourages transit use, and gives residents convenient access to work, school, medical care, housing and other vital services. Transit-oriented development helps ensure that the benefits of new transit lines extend throughout a community,” FTA Senior Advisor Carolyn Flowers said.
