About this opportunity
The Fiscal Year 2025 Intercity Bus Security Grant Program (IBSGP), administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), seeks to provide funding to private intercity bus companies to enhance transportation infrastructure security against potential terrorist threats. Eligible applicants must be for-profit intercity over-the-road bus transportation operators that have completed a vulnerability assessment and security plan. The program prioritizes projects addressing national security priorities, including protecting soft targets and crowded places, supporting homeland security task forces, improving cybersecurity, and enhancing election security. Evaluation criteria will emphasize cost-effectiveness, alignment with National Preparedness Goals, and projects that address the specified national priority areas, with such projects receiving a 20% score increase. The application period opens on August 1, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. ET and closes on August 15, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET, with applications submitted through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) system.
The grant program will distribute a total of $1,800,000, with 14 anticipated awards ranging from $20,000 to $1,800,000. Awards are expected to be made by September 30, 2025, with a performance period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2027. Funding can be used for various security-related expenses, including planning, operational activities, equipment procurement, training, awareness campaigns, and exercises focused on improving bus transportation security. Eligible costs cover a wide range of security enhancements such as emergency communications systems, passenger screening, detection equipment, surveillance systems, and facility modifications. Applicants must provide an Investment Justification, detailed budget, and Vulnerability Assessment and Security Plan certification to be considered for funding.
