Opportunity Summary:
The "Off Hours Freight Delivery" opportunity is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). FHWA is seeking applications that would lead to the award of a new Cooperative Agreement focused on off-hours freight delivery, a transportation-related topic generally aimed at improving how freight moves when typical daytime congestion and curbside competition are reduced. Because the instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, recipients should expect FHWA to have substantial involvement during the project, meaning the agency may actively participate in shaping the work, monitoring progress, and coordinating technical direction rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal interaction.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DTFH6115RA00003 and is associated with CFDA 20.200, the Highway Research and Development Program. The Funding Activity Category is Transportation, and the program anticipates making about two awards. The estimated total funding available is $200,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 per award and no stated award floor (listed as $0). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should plan to contribute non-federal resources or matching funds in accordance with the terms FHWA specifies in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broad and intentionally inclusive. The competition is open to non-federal entities, including state and local governments, foreign governments, colleges and universities, corporations, institutions, partnerships, sole proprietorships, and trade associations, provided they are incorporated or established under the laws of a U.S. state. Federal laboratories are also eligible. The listing notes "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that the full notice may contain additional eligibility nuances or documentation requirements beyond the summary.
Key dates show the posting date as April 21, 2015, with a creation date of June 15, 2015. The original application closing date was June 5, 2015, and it was later extended to a current closing date of June 19, 2015. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically are directed to contact Freida Byrd, Contract Specialist, at 202-366-6547, listed as the primary point of contact.
