The Transportation Alternatives (TA) program is a federal reimbursement transportation grant funding program administered by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), and provides 80 percent match funding for transportation projects such as pedestrian and bicycle facilities, safe routes to schools, conversion of abandoned railway corridors to trails, and historic transportation facility preservation. Applicants must submit a pre-application by June 2, and the final application by August 15, 2025. VDOT will announce the selection of projects in June 2026.
CSPDC staff members are available to assist localities with project development and application submission. Contact Program Manager Zach Beard for assistance at zach@cspdc.org.
