Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)
Transportation Alternatives Program
The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) is a program through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and is a set-aside of the Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) program. TAP funds projects such as pedestrian and bicycle facilities, recreational trails, and other multimodal improvements (such as ADA enhancements and bike share expansion).
ACOG TAP Call for Projects
On September 1, 2022, ACOG opened the first of two ACOG TAP Call for Projects under the IIJA. There was a total of $7.5 million available for projects in the ACOG adjusted urbanized area (UZA). Eligible projects include recreational trails, shared use paths, sidewalks, protected bicycle lanes, safe bicyclist and pedestrian crossings, and more. Local governments, transit agencies, tribal governments, public schools, and non-profit organizations were invited to apply.
