U.S. DOT FASTLANE & TIGER Grants

  • How does TIGER and FASTLANE relate to FHWA initiatives such as
  • National Freight Plan (including the Primary Highway Freight Network)
  • National Coalition for Truck Parking
  • Green Corridor (I-5) Initiative
  • States' goals to develop and update freight plans with cross-state

elements

  • Sustainability (conservation, emissions reduction, resiliency, & livability)
  • For TIGER: how could the primary criteria "Environmental

Sustainability" and "Quality of Life" be met in the context of the above initiatives?

  • For FASTLANE: how could the merit criterion "Community Outcomes"

(avoiding harm & extending benefits to communities & environment), and the review criterion "Partnership and Innovation," be met in the context of the above initiatives?

Conley Drayage Truck Replacement Project

PHASE 2

  • Massport committed $1M to replacing 40 more trucks
  • 38 so far
  • Same parameters as DERA-funded Phase I
  • Estimated annual emission reductions from both phases:
  • 88 tons NOx
  • 4.5 tons PM
  • 18 tons CO
  • Area is in non-attainment for ozone and is a National Air

Toxics Assessment (NATA) priority for PM reduction Contact: Ian Campbell, Sr Environmental Project Manager 617-568-3508 (office) icampbell@massport.com

Dis iscussion

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Question #1

Are there other examples of clean corridor -related projects worth replicating that were funded by DERA, TIGER, or other (CMAQ, etc.)?

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Question #2

What are some new ideas for clean corridor -related projects? Would they be fundable under DERA, TIGER or FASLANE programs?

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Question #3

To what extent do projects need to be referenced in state freight plans in order to be eligible and/or competitive for DOT funding?

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Question #4

Given the project backlog state DOTs and MPOs have accumulated, how can proposals for clean corridor – related projects get onto the front burner, and secure cost-share dollars?

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Question #5

Is there DOT funding to support state DOTs in developing multi-state/regional components for their state freight plans?
