TIGER Grant Applicants
The Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER Discretionary Grant program, provides a unique opportunity for the U.S. Department of Transportation to invest in road, rail, transit and port projects that promise to achieve critical national objectives. Congress dedicated $1.5 billion for TIGER I, $600 million for TIGER II, $526.944 million for FY 2011 and $500 million for the FY 2012 round of TIGER Grants to fund projects that have a significant impact on the Nation, a region or a metropolitan area. On April 22, 2013, the Office of the Secretary of Transportation announced a DOT award of $473.847 million to the TIGER program.
Determining the costs, benefits, and positive impacts of large infrastructure projects requires rigorous data-driven analyses.
