Opportunity Summary:
The Value Pricing Pilot Program (VPPP) funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is a discretionary grant solicitation aimed at supporting transportation projects that use pricing strategies to manage congestion and improve system performance. The notice serves two purposes: it announces that funding is available under the VPPP, and it lays out how FHWA will choose projects, what applicants must include in their submissions, and what help is available to applicants during the solicitation window.
This opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number DOT FHWA VPPP 14 001, with a posting and creation date of November 21, 2014. Applications were due by January 16, 2015, and the opportunity was archived on February 15, 2015. FHWA anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,400,000. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means FHWA expects to have substantial involvement in the project after selection, such as coordinating on project development, oversight, or technical direction, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
Eligible applicants are limited to units of government, specifically city or township governments, county governments, and state governments. The program falls under the Transportation activity category and is associated with CFDA number 20.200 (Highway Research and Development Program). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning selected applicants must contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost in addition to the federal funds requested. The announcement lists an award ceiling and floor as 0, which generally indicates that the notice itself does not specify fixed minimum or maximum award sizes and that award amounts are determined through the selection process and available funding.
Applicants are directed to the solicitation materials for the full selection criteria and application requirements, since FHWA indicates in the notice that these details are part of the announcement. For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the point of contact provided is Angela Jacobs, Transportation Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-366-0076.
