2010 Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP)

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced the release of application guidance for the Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP) totaling an estimated $253 million—funds for state, local, and territorial governments and private sector entities to strengthen the nation’s transportation infrastructure and protect the traveling public from acts of terrorism and other major disasters.

TSGP awards funds to owners and operators of transit systems—including intercity bus, commuter bus, ferries, and all forms of passenger rail—based on their capabilities to reduce risk through training, operational deterrence, drills, and public awareness activities; key critical infrastructure and asset protection; and other mitigation activities. Applications for the TSGP programs are due Feb. 18, 2010.

In addition, DHS announced the release of fiscal year 2010 grant application guidance kits for 13 additional DHS grant programs totaling more than $2.7 billion. The guidance packages incorporate the input of DHS’ state, local, tribal, territorial, and private sector partners and include specific steps undertaken by DHS to improve the ability of state and local partners to apply for and utilize grant funding.
