U.S. Department of Transportation: Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Planning Grant
Deadline: July 22, 2024
Amount: $13 million is program total
Eligibility: State or local governmental authorities
URL: https://www.transit.dot.gov/TOD
Purpose: FTA seeks to fund planning activities under the TOD Pilot Program that:
● Reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector, incorporate evidence-based climate resilience measures and features, reduce the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from the project materials, avoid adverse environmental impacts, and address negative environmental impacts (past, present, and future) on disadvantaged communities, consistent with Executive Order 14008, Tackling the ClimateCrisis at Home and Abroad (86 FR7619).
● Remove transportation-related disparities in the project area, and ensure equitable access to project benefits, particularly for communities that have experienced decades of underinvestment and are most impacted by climate change, pollution, and environmental hazards, consistent with Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government (86 FR 7009).
● Address equity and environmental justice, particularly for communities that have experienced decades of underinvestment and are most impacted by climate change, pollution, and environmental hazards, consistent with Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad (86 FR 7619).
● Support the creation of good-paying jobs with the free and fair choice to join a union and the incorporation of strong labor standards and training and placement programs, especially registered apprenticeships, in project planning stages, consistent with Executive Order 14025, Worker Organizing and Empowerment (86 FR 22829), and Executive Order 14052, Implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (86 FR 64335).
● Support wealth creation, consistent with the Department’s Equity Action Plan, through the inclusion of local inclusive economic development and entrepreneurship such as the utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, Minority-owned Businesses, Women Owned Businesses, or Section 8(a) firms.
● Advance TOD projects that potentially qualify for Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) and Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing (RRIF) financing, as authorized at 23 U.S.C. 601(a)(12)(E) and 49 U.S.C. 22402(b)(1)(F), respectively, once the TOD planning study is complete. Additionally, in support of the Federal ‘‘House America Initiative’’ led by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, FTA will strongly prioritize the award of TOD planning grants in areas of high incidence rates of homelessness, in the hope of providing opportunities for localities to address housing affordability in these areas and homelessness holistically through their planning processes.
The TOD Pilot Program intends to fund comprehensive or site-specific planning that (1) supports economic development; increased transit ridership, value capture, multimodal connectivity, and accessibility; increased transit access for pedestrian and bicycle traffic; and mixed-use and mixed income development near transit stations; (2) delivers 40 percent of the overall benefits of the planning work to Historically Disadvantaged Communities (defined below), consistent with the Justice40 Initiative; and (3) supports the development of affordable housing, mitigates climate change, and addresses challenges facing environmental justice populations and homelessness.
The TOD Pilot Program also encourages the identification of infrastructure needs and engagement with the private sector. FTA also encourages TOD planning in areas where communities are trying to preserve, protect, and increase the supply of affordable housing. For assets that were acquired with Federal assistance and are no longer needed for the originally authorized purpose, section 6609 of the Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (Pub. L. 117–81) allows FTA to authorize the transfer of the asset to a local governmental authority, non-profit organization, or other third-party entity with no further obligations to FTA if, among other factors, it will be used for TOD that includes affordable housing (49 U.S.C. 5334(h)(1)).
FTA is seeking comprehensive planning projects that cover an entire transit capital project corridor or site specific planning projects. To ensure that any proposed planning work both reflects the needs and aspirations of the local community and results in concrete, specific deliverables, and outcomes, FTA will only select proposals in which the transit project sponsor partners with entities with land use planning authority in the transit project corridor to conduct the planning work.

The Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program (CFI Program) is a new competitive grant program created by President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to strategically deploy publicly accessible electric vehicle charging and alternative fueling infrastructure in the places people live and work, urban and rural areas alike, in addition to along designated Alternative Fuel Corridors (AFCs). CFI Program investments will make modern and sustainable infrastructure accessible to all drivers of electric, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas vehicles. This program provides two funding categories of grants: (1) Community Charging and Fueling Grants (Community Program); and (2) Alternative Fuel Corridor Grants (Corridor Program). The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides $2.5 billion over five years for this program. This first round of funding makes $700 million from Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 funding available to strategically deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and other fueling infrastructure projects in urban and rural communities in publicly accessible locations, including downtown areas and local neighborhoods, particularly in underserved and disadvantaged communities.
This final rule establishes a requirement for the number of ports at a charging station. Any time charging stations are installed there is a required minimum of 4 ports, notwithstanding the type of port (Direct Current Fast Charger (DCFC) or alternating current (AC) Level 2 or a combination of DCFC and AC Level 2). Additionally, in all instances when a DCFC charging station is installed along and designed to serve users of designated AFCs, there must be at least four network-connected DCFC charging ports.
