Published on:<\/strong> January 24, 2022<\/em><\/p>\n FTA last week announced the award of approximately $11 million to 20 projects in 12 states to support comprehensive planning efforts to improve access to public transportation. Funding through FTA\u2019s Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)<\/a> Planning grants will help organizations plan for transportation projects that connect communities and improve access to transit and affordable housing.<\/p>\n FTA\u2019s Pilot Program for TOD Planning supports local planning and strategies to increase transit access and encourage ridership through mixed-use and mixed-income development near public transportation projects. This year\u2019s selected projects support President Biden\u2019s call to combat climate change, advance environmental justice, and promote equitable delivery of benefits to underserved communities.<\/p>\n A list of all selected projects<\/a> is available online. Information on previously funded projects can be found here<\/a>. Planning projects were selected for funding based on criteria described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity<\/a>.<\/p>\n President Biden\u2019s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law<\/a> provides a $18.9 million, or 38%, increase in funding for this program over five years, as compared to the previous level.
