Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA to help reduce terrorism-related risks to the nation s critical infrastructure, specifically within the intercity and charter bus sector. The program is positioned as one part of a broader set of security and preparedness measures authorized by Congress and carried out by the Administration. A central premise behind the program is that most U.S. critical infrastructure is not federally owned; it is largely owned or operated by state and local entities and private sector partners. Because of that, IBSGP funding is designed to directly support the organizations that run bus services and are responsible for day-to-day operational security.
The primary intent of IBSGP funding is to assist owners and operators of fixed route intercity and charter bus services with security enhancements that strengthen prevention, protection, and overall preparedness against potential terrorist attacks. While the notice does not list specific project types in the excerpt provided, the program framing makes clear that funds are meant to support practical security-related work within eligible bus operations, aligning with homeland security preparedness priorities rather than general transportation improvements.
For FY 2011, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 GPD 057 000 01 and is cataloged under CFDA 97.057 (Intercity Bus Security Grants). FEMA anticipated making approximately 100 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,990,000. The funding instrument is a grant, and cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients should expect to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project cost in accordance with the program s rules.
Eligibility is targeted and limited to a specific segment of the bus industry. Eligible applicants are the owners and operators of fixed route intercity and charter buses that serve Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) jurisdictions. In other words, the program is aimed at bus operators connected to higher-risk, higher-density urban areas identified through the UASI framework, reflecting a risk-based approach to allocating limited federal preparedness dollars.
Key dates for the FY 2011 cycle show the program was posted on May 19, 2011, with an application closing deadline of June 20, 2011. The listing later moved to archive status on July 20, 2011. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that it falls under Homeland Security preparedness.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed help accessing the full announcement, the notice directs them to FEMA s Systems and Business Support Branch via email at GMDSystemsBranch@fema.gov, which is the designated contact point for technical access issues related to the electronic posting.
