Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, issued a discretionary funding notice for a cooperative agreement titled "Support for Implementation of Legislation Requirements and Webpage Update and Migration" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00478). The effort sits within the transportation activity area (CFDA 15.944) and is designed to help NPS carry out responsibilities tied to federal surface transportation legislation. At its core, the project is meant to strengthen how NPS coordinates transportation planning, safety, and outreach in and around national park units, while supporting the agency's broader shift toward a multi-modal transportation approach that integrates options beyond personal vehicles.
The work described focuses on cooperative support for NPS transportation efforts that require close coordination with external partners. This includes collaboration with State and local governments, State Departments of Transportation, Metropolitan and Regional Planning Organizations, other federal land management agencies, and additional stakeholders involved in transportation planning and delivery. The NPS Transportation Program (PFMD/Transportation Program) intends to ensure that both NPS units and partner organizations can participate efficiently in the opportunities created by new transportation legislation, while also meeting the law's requirements related to coordination, public and partner outreach, planning processes, and safety considerations.
A major component of the project is structured outreach and engagement. The recipient (identified in the description as STPP) is expected to work with NPS leadership at the Washington level (NPS/WASO) to design and carry out outreach activities targeted to internal NPS staff as well as external transportation and planning entities. The outreach emphasis reflects that current law requires coordination and communication with these groups, and the project is framed as a practical way to help NPS satisfy those requirements while making sure relevant partners understand NPS transportation priorities, funding avenues, and procedural expectations.
Another central deliverable is website support, specifically updating and modernizing NPS transportation web content. The project includes updating existing transportation-related content and migrating the current transportation website into a content management system (CMS)-based platform. This implies not just a technical move, but also a content refresh so the site better supports implementation of the new legislation, improves accessibility and maintainability, and provides clearer information to NPS staff and external partners who rely on the website for guidance, coordination, and program updates.
In terms of award structure, this opportunity is not presented as an open competition. The notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications and serves only as public notice of NPS's intent to fund the described activities without competition. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling of $150,000. Eligibility, as listed in the source data, is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project during performance, aligning with the description's emphasis on close coordination with NPS/WASO and other partners.
Overall, the grant supports two closely related goals: helping NPS comply with and take advantage of federal transportation legislation through coordination, outreach, planning, and safety-focused activities; and strengthening the program's online presence by updating and migrating the transportation website into a CMS environment so information sharing and stakeholder engagement are easier and more effective.
