The FY 2010 Appropriations Act appropriated funds for National Infrastructure Investments (TIGER II Discretionary Grants). Funds for the TIGER II Discretionary Grant program are to be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that will have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area or a region. TIGER II also allows USDOT to make Planning Grants for activities related to the planning, preparation or design of eligible projects, including transportation corridors or regional transportation systems. Additionally, the FY 2010 Appropriations Act authorized US Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Challenge Planning Grants to foster reform and reduce barriers to achieve affordable, economically vital, and sustainable communities. USDOT and HUD are considering a joint solicitation for the two planning grant programs in order to better align transportation, housing, economic development, and land use planning and to improve linkages between the agencies’ programs.

Update:
To help us make these seminars most useful to you, we encourage you to submit questions in advance. Please send any pre-seminar questions you have  for the July 1st seminar to freight@dot.gov  by 5 pm ET Monday, June 28th. The pre-seminar questions will be addressed first. You will also be able to ask questions during the seminar. If you have any questions about the seminar, please contact Jennifer Symoun, SAIC, 703-676-6849 or jennifer.e.symoun@saic.com.
