Transportation Investments Generating
Economic Recovery
(TIGER) Grant Program
Introduction on the TIGER Grant
The Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Discretionary
Grants was created on February 17, 2009 when President Obama signed the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 with the intent to preserve and create jobs
and promote economic recovery, invest in transportation infrastructure that will
provide long-term economic benefits, and assist those most affected by the current
economic downturn.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) was awarded an appropriation of $1.5
billion for capital investments in surface transportation infrastructure and published
a final Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) on June 17, 2009 inviting applications
from entities including tribal jurisdictions. DOT will accept applications by electronic
mail no later than September 15, 2009.
