An independent review panel will evaluate applications based on the following evaluation criteria: * Demonstration of need, including how the project meets agency state-of-good-repair goals, how it meets safety goals, and how it addresses environmental harms and provides environmental benefits for overburdened communities and vulnerable populations.
* Demonstration of benefits, including measurable outcomes that improve the quality or scope of service in the community. * Local/regional prioritization. * Project implementation strategy, including the demonstrated readiness of the project for implementation.
