Opportunity Summary:
The ICM Deployment Planning Grants opportunity is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary grant program designed to help public-sector transportation partners plan for Integrated Corridor Management (ICM). The focus is on improving how an entire travel corridor is managed and operated across modes and jurisdictions, rather than having each agency manage its own piece in isolation. The program is rooted in the MAP-21 authority, which directed FHWA to encourage Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) deployment on the National Highway System through demonstrations and grants. In practical terms, the grants are meant to move agencies from an ICM concept toward an implementable deployment plan that supports coordinated, multimodal operations and better corridor performance.
Eligible applicants include a broad range of public entities as defined in 23 U.S.C. 513(a)(1). This includes States, local governments, tribal governments, transit agencies, public toll authorities, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), other political subdivisions, and multistate or multijurisdictional groups, as long as they apply through a single lead applicant. The notice specifically encourages participation from agencies that are working with corridor partners such as arterial management agencies, tolling authorities, and transit authorities, reflecting the program's emphasis on cross-agency coordination.
Funding is structured as cost-shared assistance. FHWA will cover up to 80 percent of the cost of each proposed project, meaning applicants must provide at least a 20 percent match from non-Federal sources (or otherwise allowable match consistent with the program rules). Each application is capped at a total project cost of 200,000, which effectively limits the maximum Federal share to 160,000 if the project is funded at the 80 percent level. FHWA anticipated up to 10 awards, though the notice makes clear that this number is not guaranteed and depends on the availability of funds and the quality of applications received.
A notable feature is the possibility of an optional Phase Two. FHWA reserved discretion to provide additional funding to successful applicants after the initial work product is delivered, specifically to help advance ICM concepts further toward actual deployment. This signals that the agency viewed the planning grants as an on-ramp to deeper implementation activities for the most promising and well-prepared corridors.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on November 2, 2013, with an original closing date of December 31, 2013, later extended to January 17, 2014. The funding opportunity number is ICM DPG 2013, and the sponsoring agency is the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the notice provided a point of contact: Robert Sheehan, Transportation Specialist, at (202) 366-6817.
