Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies

The Subcommittee will only consider Community Project Funding requests in the following accounts:

Department of Transportation

Local Transportation Priorities

Local Transportation Priorities are highway and transit capital projects eligible under title 23 and title 49 of the United States Code. Eligible projects are described under Section 133(b) of title 23, United States Code. Tribal and territorial capital projects authorized under Chapter 2 of title 23, United States Code, are also eligible.

All projects must be:

  • Capital projects or project-specific planning/design for a capital project.
  • Supported by the state or local government that would administer the project. Inclusion on a Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) or Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) would satisfy this requirement.
  • Administered by public entities.

Requests for activities that are administrative in nature will not be funded even if they are eligible expenses under the statutory citation. These include general operating expenses, and activities required under sections 134 and 135 of title 23, United States Code.

Department of Transportation

Airport Improvement Program (AIP)

AIP Community Project requests may be used for enhancing airport safety, capacity, and security, and mitigating environmental concerns.

All projects must be:

  • AIP eligible in accordance with sections 47101 to 47175 of title 49, United States Code, and FAA policy and guidance.
  • Supported broadly by local stakeholders, including residents, businesses, and elected officials.
  • Administered by an airport and/or airport sponsor.

Department of Housing and Urban Development

Economic Development Initiative (EDI)

EDI Community Project requests may be used for economic and community development activities, including land or site acquisition, demolition or rehabilitation of housing or facilities, construction, and capital improvements of public facilities (including water and sewer facilities), and public services. Requests may also include planning and other activities consistent with the underlying authorization for the Community Development Block Grant program within HUD. EDI Community Project requests are not eligible for the reimbursement of expenses for activities already undertaken (including debt service or debt retirement).

All projects must be:

  • Supported broadly by local stakeholders, including residents, businesses, and elected officials.
  • Administered by governmental or non-profit entities, including public housing agencies, as well as tribes and tribally designated housing entities.
