Funding Available for Non-Motorized Transportation Projects
Think trails, bike improvements, pedestrian safety projects or Safe Routes to School
2021-01-06
If your community has been looking for funding for a trail, Safe Routes to School project or other pedestrian or bicycle facility improvement this is a good opportunity. NHDOT has posted full details on the 4th round of Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding on their website. TAP is one of the main sources of federal grant funding to municipalities for pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, and will fund up to 80% of eligible project costs with a required minimum 20% non-federal local match.
The first step for communities is to submit a Letter of Interest, which must be submitted electronically by Friday, February 5, 2021. A sample Letter of Interest is available on the NHDOT website and RPC can assist with project scoping. Please let RPC staff know if your community is thinking of applying. (sbogle@therpc.org)
