project to guide funding

  • Allows for big and small projects
  • Increase capacity on all levels to

successfully shepherd projects through federal-aid process

Scoring the Applications

  • Applications will be rated and ranked by a

Statewide Selection Committee (Structure TBD)

  • The Higher Ranked Projects are more likely to

receive funding

  • However, project funding is limited by TAP

allocations and sub-allocations to population areas

  • The Selection Committee will have the discretion

to adjust the project selection in an effort to program funds in a geographically equitable manner
