TIGER Grant Applications

As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, $1.5 billion in Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Grants was made available for surface transportation capital improvements. States may receive between $0 and $300 million and no funding is guaranteed.

Five projects were submitted by TxDOT to the Secretary of Transportation in September 2009.

Other governmental entities also submitted projects. TxDOT provided them with letters of support.
