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.
