[OMS_MANAGERS] TGM Transit, Walking, Biking Planning Grants: Preapplications due March 11!

[Manvel, Evan]

Great main streets are all about walking.
Want help applying for grants for community planning to improve walking, biking, and transit?
Oregon's Transportation and Growth Management Grants help local communities plan for streets and land use in a way that leads to more livable, economically vital, and sustainable communities and that increases opportunities for transit, walking and bicycling.
TGM awards two types of grants:

  *   Category 1<http://www.oregon.gov/LCD/TGM/docs/Grants/Category1.pdf> (PDF): Transportation System Planning, including TSP updates, to give Oregonians a range of transportation choices and meet requirements of the Oregon Transportation Planning Rule
  *   Category 2<http://www.oregon.gov/LCD/TGM/docs/Grants/Category2.pdf> (PDF): Integrated Land Use and Transportation Planning, to promote compact, mixed-use development supported by improved pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and multi-modal street facilities
