Application Information

The Transportation Planning Board (TPB) issued a call for projects for the FY 2008 round of the TLC Program. The application period closed on January 15, 2008.

Any local jurisdiction in the Metropolitan Washington Region that is a member of the TPB is eligible to apply. Proposals will be made on an application form along with a short 1-2 page description of the project, which should include the following information:

• The overall scope and location;
• The specific service and product requested;
• How the project will benefit the applicants' community;
• How the project will be relevant to the Metropolitan Washington Region.

Recipients will receive short-term consultant services. Recipients will not receive direct financial assistance. Recipients are eligible to receive up to a value of $20,000 in technical assistance. Proposed scopes of work and budget allocations will be reviewed by members of the TPB before technical assistance resources are authorized. The TPB will seek to ensure that assistance is provided to a broad cross-section of jurisdictions throughout the region. Applicants are encouraged to explain how the additional technical assistance will enhance their current efforts.
