Abstract
  • On February 17, 2010, the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board received a $58.8 million TIGER competitive grant for its planned regional priority bus network. This proposed network encompasses fourteen priority corridors and includes dedicated lanes, transit signal priority, queue-jump lanes, and a major regional transit center. This article describes the federal TIGER program, its application in the Washington metropolitan area, and the broader impacts of USDOT’s new mode-neutral approach to transportation funding. The TIGER grant program not only enabled implementation of a project that otherwise would have been difficult to fund via traditional channels, but it also empowered regional-level transportation planning that has had numerous benefits beyond the priority bus network grant.
