About this opportunity
The Fiscal Year 2025 Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP), administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), seeks to provide funding to transit agencies for protecting critical surface transportation infrastructure from potential terrorist attacks. The program focuses on enhancing security for passenger rail, intra-city bus, and ferry systems in major metropolitan areas, with specific emphasis on National Priority Areas including cybersecurity, soft target protection, and supporting Homeland Security Task Forces. Eligible applicants must develop a comprehensive security plan based on recent security assessments and participate in Regional Transit Security Working Groups. Evaluation criteria will prioritize projects addressing cybersecurity improvements, physical security enhancements, operational packages, and projects that demonstrate long-term sustainability through a Five-Year Security Capital and Operational Sustainment Plan. 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 anticipated award dates by September 30, 2025.
The total funding pool for this grant opportunity is $83,700,000, with 25 anticipated awards ranging from $352,721 to $46,900,219. The performance period for most projects will be 36 months (from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2028), with capital infrastructure projects potentially extending to 48 months. Eligible applicants include transit agencies in states such as New York, California, Illinois, and Massachusetts, with a particular focus on urban transportation systems. Funding can be used for various purposes including planning, equipment procurement, training, exercises, and operational activities. Projects addressing the National Priority Areas may receive up to a 20% review score increase, further incentivizing comprehensive and strategic security investments.
