2019 TGM Grant Application Now Available

The 2019 Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) Program Planning Grant Applications are due June 6, 2019. The application packet and form can be found on the TGM Grants page. Award announcements will be mailed in August.

TGM grants provide planning resources to help Oregon jurisdictions address transportation, land use, and growth management issues in their communities. Projects may either relate to:

1) transportation system planning, including, TSPs in whole or part, transit plans, and safe routes to school-related infrastructure plans, or 
2) integrated land use and transportation planning, including area plans, concept plans for areas being brought into an urban growth boundary, and transportation efficient land use plans for an entire urban area.

Eligible applicants include cities, counties, councils of government on behalf of a city or county, and tribal governments. Certain special districts are eligible, such as transportation districts, metropolitan planning organizations, ports, mass transit districts, park and recreation districts, and metropolitan service districts. School districts may be eligible as part of a joint application with a local government for an otherwise eligible project. Eligible applicants may join together to propose a project, such as a multi-county TSP or multi-city or city-county corridor plan.

Award amounts generally range between $75,000 and $250,000. Grantees must provide a match of 12% or more of the total project cost, in the form of cash, staff time, monetized volunteer time, and direct project expenses.
