FY27-FY28 Transportation Alternatives Program

The FY27-FY28 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), administered by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), is a solicitation for projects that expand non-driver transportation options and enhance the cultural, historic, and environmental aspects of infrastructure within the District of Columbia. Eligible activities include the development of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, ADA compliance upgrades, safe routes for vulnerable populations, trail development, and historic preservation. Funding is sourced from the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The application window runs from September 28, 2026, to October 30, 2026, with a response deadline of October 31, 2026. Awards are determined by a project selection committee based on eligibility, project concept, feasibility, readiness, and public input. Priority is given to projects that align with the moveDC plan, improve access to high-capacity transit, or support the National Capital Trail. Applicants must submit a completed application form, a DDOT project cost template excel sheet, and a maximum of ten pages of attachments, including a detailed budget, site map, timeline, and letter of commitment. Selected projects will be funded in FY27 or FY28, provided the implementation process begins within one year of obligation. Compliance with Davis-Bacon Wage Rates, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act is required.
