The Active Transportation Infrastructure Investment Program (ATIIP), managed by the US Department of Transportation, Federal Highways Administration, is a new competitive grant program created by Section 11529 of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to construct projects to provide safe and connected active transportation facilities in active transportation networks or active transportation spines.
Active transportation networks are active transportation facilities that connect between destinations within a community or metropolitan region, including schools, workplaces, residences, businesses, recreation areas, medical facilities, and other community areas. Active transportation spines are active transportation facilities that connect between communities, metropolitan regions, or States.
ATIIP will award two types of grants: Planning and Design grants and Construction grants. Planning and Design grants will be awarded to eligible applicants for developing plans for active transportation networks and active transportation spines. Projects seeking Planning and Design grants must have planning and design costs of at least $100,000 to be eligible. Construction grants will be awarded to eligible applicants for construction projects that will provide safe and connected active transportation facilities in an active transportation network or active transportation spine. Projects seeking Construction grants must have total costs of at least $15 million to be eligible.
