President Obama, DOT Secretary Foxx Annou
nce $600 Million for Sixth Round of TIGER Funding

ST.
PAUL – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx will
join President Barack Obama today to announce that $600 m
illion will be made available to fund transportation proj
ects across the country under a sixth round of the U.S. D
epartment of Transportation’s highly successful Transpo
rtation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) c
ompetitive grant program. The announcement will be made a
t the Union Depot in St. Paul, which received $35 million
in the first round of TIGER to renovate the facility and
restore tracks. Combined with roughly $480 million in fe
deral funding for the Central Corridor light rail transit
line, St. Paul’s Union Depot is proof of the impact th
at transportation investment can make, leading to job cre
ation, downtown revitalization and economic growth.

?
?President Obama knows that transportation means opportun
ity for so many Americans,” said U.S. Transportation Se
cretary Anthony Foxx. “TIGER investments answer the Pre
sident’s challenge to expand opportunity through a stro
ng transportation system that connects Americans with a b
etter way of life.”

The TIGER 2014 grant program wil
l place an emphasis on projects that support reliable, sa
fe and affordable transportation options that improve con
nections for both urban and rural communities, making it
easier for their residents to reach work, school and othe
r ladders of opportunity. While continuing to support pro
jects of all types, DOT will prioritize applications for
capital projects that better connect people to jobs, trai
ning and other opportunities, promote neighborhood redeve
lopment and reconnect neighborhoods divided by physical b
arriers, such as highways and railroads.

The highly co
mpetitive TIGER program, which began as part of the Ameri
can Recovery and Reinvestment Act, offers one of the only
federal funding possibilities for large, game-changing m
ulti-modal projects. These federal funds leverage money f
rom private sector partners, states, local governments, m
etropolitan planning organizations and transit agencies.
The $474 million 2013 TIGER round alone supported $1.8 bi
llion in overall project investments.

In additional to
supporting capital grants, Congress has provided DOT wit
h the flexibility to use up to $35 million of TIGER funds
for planning grants, the first time since the 2010 round
. In addition to supporting the planning of innovative tr
ansportation, these funds can support regional transporta
tion planning, freight and port planning and programmatic
mitigation approaches that increase efficiency and impro
ve outcomes for communities and the environment.

Since
2009, the TIGER program has awarded $3.5 billion to 270
projects in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and P
uerto Rico – including 100 projects to support rural co
mmunities. Demand has been overwhelming, and during the p
revious five rounds, the Department of Transportation rec
eived more than 5,300 applications requesting nearly $115
billion for transportation across the country.

Congre
ss provided the most recent funding as part of the bipart
isan Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014, signed by P
resident Obama on January 17, 2017. TIGER applications ar
e due April 28. Click here<http://links.govdelivery.com:8

President Obama, DOT Secretary Foxx Announce $600 Million for Sixth Round of TIGER Funding

ST. PAUL – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx will join President Barack Obama today to announce that $600 million will be made available to fund transportation projects across the country under a sixth round of the
U.S. Department of Transportation’s highly successful Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) competitive grant program. The announcement will be made at the Union Depot in St. Paul, which received $35 million in the first round of TIGER
to renovate the facility and restore tracks. Combined with roughly $480 million in federal funding for the Central Corridor light rail transit line, St. Paul’s Union Depot is proof of the impact that transportation investment can make, leading to job creation,
downtown revitalization and economic growth.

“President Obama knows that transportation means opportunity for so many Americans,” said
U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “TIGER investments answer the President’s challenge to expand opportunity through a strong transportation system that connects Americans with a better way of life.”

The TIGER 2014 grant program will place an emphasis on projects that support reliable, safe and affordable transportation options that improve connections for both urban and rural communities, making it easier for their residents
to reach work, school and other ladders of opportunity. While continuing to support projects of all types, DOT will prioritize applications for capital projects that better connect people to jobs, training and other opportunities, promote neighborhood redevelopment
and reconnect neighborhoods divided by physical barriers, such as highways and railroads.

The highly competitive TIGER program, which began as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, offers one of the only federal funding possibilities for large, game-changing multi-modal projects. These federal funds
leverage money from private sector partners, states, local governments, metropolitan planning organizations and transit agencies. The $474 million 2013 TIGER round alone supported $1.8 billion in overall project investments.

In additional to supporting capital grants, Congress has provided DOT with the flexibility to use up to $35 million of TIGER funds for planning grants, the first time since the 2010 round. In addition to supporting the planning
of innovative transportation, these funds can support regional transportation planning, freight and port planning and programmatic mitigation approaches that increase efficiency and improve outcomes for communities and the environment.

Since 2009, the TIGER program has awarded $3.5 billion to 270 projects in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico ??? including 100 projects to support rural communities. Demand has been overwhelming, and during
the previous five rounds, the Department of Transportation received more than 5,300 applications requesting nearly $115 billion for transportation across the country.

Congress provided the most recent funding as part of the bipartisan Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014, signed by President Obama on January 17, 2017. TIGER applications are due April 28. Click
