THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
RPA-1 describes its competitive selection procedures for Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) and Transportation Alternatives Set-aside (TAP) funding, noting that eligible local governments and agencies can apply for road, bridge, multimodal, and trail projects within the region. Calls for STBG and TAP projects are typically issued in early January with applications due at the end of February, and selected projects are usually programmed four years out, aligning with future TIP years like 2028–2030.
Projects must meet federal eligibility, support the region’s long-range multimodal plan, and include at least 20 percent non-federal match (except where swapped), with applications reviewed by the Technical or Enhancement Committees and ultimately approved by the Transportation Policy Board. This recurring, structured process signals predictable opportunities for engineering, planning, trail design, and safety consultants to partner with counties, cities, conservation boards, and transit providers in preparing competitive applications and delivering funded projects. Vendors can support sponsors with project scoping, cost estimation, benefit documentation, and grant-writing ahead of each annual call window.
Applications must demonstrate consistency with RPA-1’s long-range plan, document match sources, and often score better with strong local planning and demonstrated community benefit.
