Federal funding from the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STBG), which includes the setaside for Transportation Alternatives(TAP), ARC’s Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) program, and the Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) will be awarded to implement projects which support the goals and objectives of the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP).
Sponsors may apply for federal funding to add new projects to the TIP, supplement funding for existing TIP projects, and submit proposals for studies and related initiatives which do not result in the construction of physical infrastructure.
