Summary
Notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), for the fiscal years 2022-2024 Prioritization Process Pilot Program (PPPP). The NOFO aims to solicit applications for grants totaling up to $30 million ($10 million per fiscal year) to be awarded on a competitive basis to Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) serving urban areas with a population over 200,000, or states. The funds are intended for the development and implementation of publicly accessible, transparent prioritization processes for the selection of projects in metropolitan and statewide long-range transportation plans, supporting data-driven approaches to planning that can be evaluated for public benefit. Applications must be submitted electronically through grants.gov by May 1, 2024, and FHWA plans to conduct outreach through webinars on March 7th and April 9th, 2024.
The PPPP was established under Section 11204 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law with $10 million authorized for each fiscal year from 2022 through 2026. The program aims to support data-driven approaches to planning and provide funding for the ranking and selection of transportation projects that improve safety, climate change and sustainability, equity, economic strength, and global competitiveness. PPPP seeks to fund projects that address environmental justice, barriers to opportunity, coordination of transportation and land use, vulnerable users, transparent public involvement, complete streets, freight, and system condition and reliability. Additionally, successful public participation is emphasized as an integral part of the transportation process. The NOFO also outlines administration priorities related to safety, climate change and sustainability, equity, workforce development, job quality, and wealth creation. Applicants are encouraged to engage with impacted communities and leaders to ensure effective communication channels are developed and used throughout project development and implementation.
