The Idaho Transportation Department has announced it is looking for walking or biking projects to be funded by nearly $8 million available through the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP). TAP uses federal funds to provide a variety of alternative transportation projects that advance ITD’s strategic goals of safety, mobility, and economic opportunity.
Programs and projects such as on- and off-road pedestrian and bicycle facilities, infrastructure projects that improve access to public transportation and enhanced mobility, and safe routes to school educational projects, are eligible for TAP funding. Eligibility is contingent upon a cash-only contribution to the project, right of way must be secured, and environmental requirements that do not exceed certain thresholds.
Visit the TAP section of the department’s website to access the new application and submittal instructions.
Final applications must be submitted to ITD electronically by December 1, 2017 at 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.
