The Federal Highway Administration is now seeking grant proposals for National Scenic Byways Program funding consideration for FY 2009. SAFETEA-LU authorized up to $43.5 million for this fiscal year. FHWA has decided to continue to be more strategic in its grant awards process by targeting its resources toward projects that provide the greatest benefits. FHWA invites the application of large-scale, high-cost projects that provide strategic benefits to the byway and the byway traveler. Applications are due to FHWA division offices by March 13, 2009.
FHWA will be hosting group discussions to enhance interaction and encourage prospective applicants, byway coordinators, and division offices to ask questions prior to submission deadlines. The group discussion schedule will be posted on www.bywaysonline.org/grants.
For both seasoned and first time applicants, please remember that submitting an application is a two-step process, and includes registering your organization with Grants.gov. The details of this registration process can be found on the Grants.gov website (see http://grants.gov/applicants/organization_registration.jsp). Because there are a number of steps involved, we encourage you to begin now! For more information on submitting an application to the National Scenic Byways Program for funding consideration, please see http://www.bywaysonline.org/grants.
