Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through FEMA. It is designed to strengthen the security and resilience of the nation s critical surface transportation infrastructure by funding security related improvements for transit system owners and operators. In practical terms, the program focuses on reducing risk to public transportation and related assets in the face of terrorist threats, while also supporting preparedness for major disasters and other emergencies that could disrupt transit operations or endanger the traveling public.
TSGP supports a wide range of transit modes considered part of critical infrastructure, including intra city bus systems, commuter bus service, freight rail, ferries, and all forms of passenger rail. The central purpose is to help eligible entities protect key facilities, vehicles, and operations, and to improve the ability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from high consequence incidents. As described in the announcement, TSGP is positioned as one tool within a broader set of congressionally authorized homeland security measures, reflecting DHS s overall strategy to bolster national preparedness and infrastructure security.
For FY 2011, DHS anticipated making about 75 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $200,079,000. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 97.075, Rail and Transit Security Grant Program, and the funding activity category is Homeland Security Preparedness. The funding instrument is a grant, and the announcement specifies there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants generally are not required to provide a local match as a condition of receiving funds.
Eligibility is aimed at governmental entities that can apply on behalf of or in support of transit security needs, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and special district governments. While the program funds are intended for transit system owners and operators, the eligible applicant categories in the notice reflect that applications often flow through public sector governmental bodies and transit authorities structured as special districts or other governmental entities.
Key administrative dates for the FY 2011 competition include a posted and creation date of May 19, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 5, 2011. The opportunity was scheduled to be archived on August 4, 2011.
