112977 | TMA Competitive Grant Program (Various)

The TMA Competitive Grant Program (TMA CGP) provides a mechanism for southeastern Pennsylvania's TMAs and MAP contractors to supplement their regular Work Programs with additional funding to carry out supplemental activities that are core to their missions, related to transportation issues of reducing traffic congestion, improving air quality by lowering vehicle emissions, facilitating multi-modalism, embracing new technology, and promoting commute alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle, and that concurrently help implement the region's long-range plan. All of the TMAs and MAP contractors submit annual Work Programs under a two-year contract period with PennDOT, and the TMA CGP funding program can either bolster and leverage existing, effective strategies, or be applied for new initiatives consistent with the CMAQ funding source.
The projects that were selected in April of 2019 are:
Partnership TMA - Bicycle Audits and Employee Workshops for Commuters. Expected benefits from this project are improvements that encourage more employees to bike to work.
Delaware County TMA - TDM Targeted Social Media Campaign. Expected benefits from this project would increase awareness of TDM options available and encourage more mode changes for commuting with a younger demographic.
Greater Valley Forge TMA - TDM Outreach and Education along Route 422. Expected benefits from this project are education on TDM options along this corridor and how implementing them can help reduce congestion and improve air quality along the corridor on a more regular basis.
