2012 NOFA: Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER)
The US Department of Transportation published the availability of funds for the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Discretionary Grant program for 2012 in the Federal Register.
The attached Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) is similar to the 2011 NOFA:
- Eligible applicants may submit, as a lead applicant, no more than three applications for consideration;
- Any applicant that is applying for a TIGER TIFIA Payment must also submit a TIFIA letter of interest along with their application; and
- Funds must be obligated by September 30, 2013. The limited amount of time for which the funds will be made available means that DOT will focus on the extent to which a project is ready to proceed with obligation of grant funds when evaluating applications, and give priority to those projects that are ready to proceed sooner than other competitive projects.
Please be aware of the following KEY DATES:
* Deadline for Pre-Applications - February 20th, 2012
* Deadline for Final Applications - March 19th, 2012
