U.S. Transportation Secretary LaHood Announces Fourth Round of Funding Under Highly Successful TIGER Program
Are You Positioned For Success?
For decades, Delta Development Group, Inc. (Delta), headquartered in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, has been successfully assisting railway authorities, transportation authorities, counties, and municipalities in securing highly competitive transportation funds. Most recently, Delta assisted Central Pennsylvania’s SEDA-COG Joint Railway Authority (JRA) in developing a funding strategy for its rail improvements that included securing $10 million in TIGER II funds, and another $3.8 million in PennDOT’s Infrastructure Bank Funds. These funds helped to leverage an additional $2.2 million in public and private funds.
In this difficult environment of increasingly scarce public funding resources, it’s no longer sufficient to simply fill out and submit an application for a federal grant. You must set your project apart from others by engaging the support of local officials and stakeholders, providing the level of detail necessary in your application to prove that the funding will be spent efficiently and expeditiously, working with your congressional delegation to have them advocate on behalf of your project, and creating a compelling narrative that “sells” your project to federal officials.
Delta has a 23-year history of securing over $750 million in public funding for a multitude of transportation clients nationwide, and we have the in-house expertise of transportation professionals and former congressional staff who know the ins and outs of working with the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Let Delta work with you to
-cultivate grassroots support for your initiatives;
-advocate for your project’s endorsement by federal, state, and local officials;
-position your project for prioritization with the U.S. Department of Transportation;
-develop and submit a comprehensive TIGER application;
-facilitate post-award funds management; and
-manage U.S. Department of Transportation compliance requirements.
Delta can supplement the work of your existing staff, or take on all of the assignments necessary for submitting a comprehensive TIGER grant application with the political support to back it up.
Pre-applications for TIGER funds are due February 20 and applications are due March 19.
Call us today for a free, no-obligation consultation session to discuss your needs and provide a clear direction for their resolution. The Delta team is here to serve you!
