Applications Due March 20
December 26, 2014 (San Diego)--To incentivize projects that promote smart growth, as well as increase walking, biking, and transit usage, SANDAG is calling on local jurisdictions to submit applications for $15 million in competitive grants available under its TransNet Smart Growth Incentive Program (SGIP) and TransNet Active Transportation Grant Program (ATGP).
Approximately $12 million in smart growth funds and $3 million in active transportation funds are available. Grant applications for both programs are due by 4 p.m., Friday, March 20, 2015.
SANDAG will hold a pre-proposal workshop 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on Jan. 8 in the SANDAG Board Room at 401 B St., 7th floor. Prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to attend.
The money for the grant programs comes from two sources: TransNet, the regional half-cent sales tax for transportation approved by San Diego County voters, which sets aside 2 percent of annual revenues for each grant program; and funds distributed by the state under the California Transportation Development Act.
Only local cities and the County of San Diego can apply for the grant funds. Nonprofit and community-based organizations may collaborate to apply for funding in conjunction with the cities or the county, but cannot apply directly for the funds.
