About this program
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has not made grant awards under the Rail and Transit Security Grant Program (ARRA), CFDA 97.113, since September 1, 2013. This program is inactive and not currently pursuing new applications.
The program funded security construction projects for bus and rail transit infrastructure to address terrorism risks. All 22 awards in the program's history were Project Grants, concentrated in two funding cycles: 19 awards issued July 30 through September 1, 2009, and 3 awards issued September 1, 2013. Combined federal dollars obligated across the full portfolio totaled $146.4 million, with award sizes ranging from under $13 thousand to $48.3 million. Notable 2009 awards included $48.3 million to strengthen critical rail infrastructure, $35.9 million for transit security construction, $11.8 million for rail security upgrades, and $9.6 million for additional transit protection measures. A 2013 award obligated $8.1 million for transit security work. Federal Emergency Management Agency was the sole funding agency, responsible for all 22 awards and the full $146.4 million in federal obligations.
The source contains no recent grant opportunities. The program's most recent activity dates to 2013, with all awarded work completion dates falling between 2012 and 2015. This program operated as a time-limited American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) initiative rather than as ongoing annual solicitation, and no new opportunities have been posted since the final 2013 awards. The program should be treated as inactive for current funding pursuit purposes.
