The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities is accepting applications for its Community Transportation Program (CTP) to preserve, upgrade or create new roads, bridges, and trails outside the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (Anchorage & Fairbanks) boundaries.
Donor Name: Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities
State: Alaska
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 10/31/2022
Grant Size: $15,000,000
Details:
The CTP solicits community input, nominations, and project sponsorship. Development of projects includes identifying needs through public outreach and involvement, evaluating and scoring eligible projects by a board, and prioritizing and selecting projects to award. This program does not issue grants to communities directly.
Examples of CTP projects would be ones that make new or maintain or improve existing surface transportation facilities, enhance travel and tourism, reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions, improve air quality, and projects that connect different types of transportation such as roads and trails.
There are two sets of criteria for this project nomination opportunity: 1) Urban and Rural, and 2) Remote. Communities not connected to the road system by road or ferry are considered Remote. All other communities are considered Urban and Rural.
Funding Information
CTP Projects are limited to two project submittals per public entity with a not-to-exceed federal share amount of $15,000,000, as determined through a DOT&PF certified estimate using recent unit costs and bid tabs from successful bids. DOT&PF is an eligible sponsor for CTP community roads.
Eligible Projects
Example CTP projects for this solicitation include:
- Improve existing surface transportation facilities; improve or make new transportation facilities that provide access to important resources or connect communities; rural ports & barge landings; connect different types of transportation modes such as transit and trails or roads; enhance travel and tourism; electric vehicle charging infrastructure; reduction of wildlife-vehicle collisions, i.e., wildlife crossings.
