THE URBAN MASS TRANSPORTATION ADMINISTRATION JOINT DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGE GRANT PROGRAM

UMTA policy is to encourage public transit agencies and private sector business and development interests to cooperate in the planning, designing, constructing, renovating and improving of transit facilities. To further this policy, UMTA's Joint Development Challenge Grant (JD) Program has set aside $20 million with which to support joint public-private development projects. Projects can range from major transportation systems embracing a whole metropolitan area to specific projects enhancing the utility, safety or attractiveness of a single bus or railway station. This JD folder defines and discusses the JD, potential for JD projects, criteria for judging proposals and other information related to this grant program.
