STBG Set-Aside (Transportation Alternatives-TA) Program
The FAST Act eliminated the MAP-21 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) and replaced it with a set-aside of the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program. These set-aside funds can be used on all projects and activities that were previously eligible under TAP, which include those that improve access and mobility for non-drivers, such as pedestrians and bicyclists.
Eligible Set-Aside (TA) activities include:
- Bicycle/pedestrian facilities
- Landscaping and scenic beautification
- Construction of turnouts, overlooks and viewing areas
- Rehabilitation of historic transportation facilities and buildings
- Control and removal of outdoor advertising
- Archaeological planning and research
- Mitigation of highway runoff and provisions for wildlife crossings
Based on availability of the Set-Aside TA funds, KYOVA Interstate Planning Commission will issue a competitive Call for Projects. Projects submitted in accordance with the Call for Projects are evaluated and prioritized based on how they align with the regional priorities and/or goals and support identified Performance Targets. Once ranked, the projects are submitted to the KYOVA Policy Committee for consideration and approval. Applications will be accepted until all available Set-Aside TA funds have been committed.
A competitive application process must be held for all Set-Aside (TA) funded projects. Applicants in Kentucky and West Virginia may also apply through their statewide process. Kentucky’s annual competitive grant process can be found at: Click Here.
Applications for the Set-Aside (TA) Program are not being accepted at this time. Please contact the KYOVA office if you have any questions.
