Opportunity Information: Apply for FTA 2024 001 TPM ASAP
The FY 2024 Competitive Funding Opportunity: All Stations Accessibility Program (ASAP) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration (FTA). It makes $343 million available through the FY 2022 ASAP funding pot (Federal Assistance Listing/CFDA 20.533) to help bring older rail transit stations and related passenger facilities up to modern accessibility expectations. The focus is specifically on rail fixed guideway systems and stations that were built before the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and remain inaccessible today, often described in the notice as pre-ADA or "legacy" infrastructure.
The program is designed to fund projects that directly improve accessibility for riders by repairing, improving, modifying, retrofitting, or relocating station and facility infrastructure used by passengers. That includes major structural work when it is tied to accessibility outcomes, such as work on load-bearing members that are essential parts of the station's structural frame. In practical terms, the funding can support the kinds of heavy capital improvements older stations often need in order to add or upgrade accessible paths of travel and related station elements, especially where the underlying structure limits what can be changed without significant reconstruction.
ASAP also supports planning-oriented work, not just construction. Eligible planning activities include developing or updating a plan to pursue public transportation accessibility projects, conducting accessibility assessments, or evaluating planned station modifications. This planning track is meant to help agencies build a prioritized, actionable roadmap for accessibility upgrades across multiple stations or corridors, including programs of projects in an eligible area, rather than treating each station as an isolated fix.
Eligibility is limited to public entities connected to legacy rail fixed guideway systems and the stations/facilities associated with them. Eligible applicants include designated recipients that operate or allocate funds to inaccessible pre-ADA rail fixed guideway public transportation systems. In addition, states (including U.S. territories and Washington, D.C.) and local governmental entities may apply if they operate or financially support legacy rail fixed guideway systems and their corresponding legacy stations or facilities. The opportunity listing identifies eligible applicant types as state governments and other eligible entities consistent with the categories above.
Awards are made through a competitive selection process, meaning applicants must make the case that their proposed projects are strong candidates relative to other submissions nationwide. The notice indicates an expected total of about 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $25,000,000 per award. The funding instrument is listed as "Other" under a discretionary opportunity category, which signals a competitive grant structure rather than a formula distribution.
Key administrative details from the opportunity listing include the Funding Opportunity Number FTA 2024 001 TPM ASAP, with the original application closing date of January 30, 2024. The opportunity record shows a creation date of November 30, 2023. Overall, the intent is to accelerate long-delayed accessibility improvements at older rail stations by supporting both the complex capital construction required to remove barriers and the planning work needed to sequence and deliver accessibility upgrades efficiently across a system.Apply for FTA 2024 001 TPM ASAP
