Abstract: On February 17, 2009, the President of the United States signed the Recovery Act to, among other purposes, (1) preserve and create jobs and promote economic recovery, and (2) invest in transportation infrastructure that will provide long-term economic benefits. The Recovery Act appropriated $1.5 billion of discretionary grant funds to be awarded by the Department for capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure. The funds provided by TIGER Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to projects that have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a region. On or about the date hereof, the Department published a solicitation for applications for TIGER Grants. The solicitation announces the availability of funding for TIGER Grants, project selection criteria, application requirements and the deadline for submitting applications.
