TAP The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) provides funding for programs and projects defined as transportation alternatives.
Eligible activities under the TAP program are listed in the following guidelines from ALDOT:
The total amount of Federal participating funding for a particular project (or project phase if part of a large multi-phased project) application is limited to $1,000,000; ($800,000 Federal and $200,000 local match). The total project estimated costs may exceed the $1,000,000 limit, but any amounts in excess of the limit will be the responsibility of the sponsor and should be shown as such. The sponsor will also be responsible for the preliminary engineering. However, preliminary engineering (PE) is eligible for reimbursement, but the eligible amount for PE is limited to 10% of the total project cost with a maximum amount of $100,000. Funding for PE does count toward the maximum amount that can be requested ($1,000,000 total).
Also note the following restriction for applicants:
“Sponsors that currently have an active TAP project will not be eligible to submit another application for funding consideration until the awarded project has been authorized and let to contract.”
As previously stated, there is no difference between the ALDOT application and the MPO application. The application can be downloaded from the following:
