The US Department of Transportation has announced the award of $1.5 billion in grants for 51 transportation projects under the TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) Discretionary Grant Program, authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The TIGER Program was included in the Recovery Act to spur a national competition for innovative, multi-modal and multi-jurisdictional transportation projects that promise significant economic and environmental benefits to an entire metropolitan area, a region or the nation. Projects funded with the $1.5 billion allocated include improvements to roads, bridges, rail, ports, transit and intermodal facilities.
USDOT received proposals for more than 1400 projects totaling nearly $60 billion. A list of recipients is available at: http://www.dot.gov/documents/finaltigergrantinfo.pdf.
