Surface Transportation Infrastructure _ Discretionary Grants for Capital Investments II
The Department of Transportation (DOT) is authorized to award $600 million in TIGER II Discretionary Grants pursuant to Title I (Department of Transportation) of the FY 2010 Appropriations Act (Pub.
L.
111-117, Dec.
16, 2009).
This appropriation is similar, but not identical to the appropriation for the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER Discretionary Grant, program authorized and implemented pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Recovery Act).
Because of the similarity in program structure and objectives, DOT is referring to the grants for National Infrastructure Investments under the FY 2010 Appropriations Act as TIGER II Discretionary Grants.
As with the TIGER program, funds for the TIGER II program are to be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that will have a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area or a region.
