The Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, in partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation, offers annual funding opportunities for stormwater outreach programs in Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco Counties to enhance stormwater management and water quality.

Stormwater Outreach & Education Funding for Tampa Bay Region - TBRPC Stormwater Outreach & Education Funding Annual Funding for Stormwater Outreach Programs Each year the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council manages a stormwater education funding opportunity provided by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).

This funding aims to support public involvement, education, and outreach efforts to improve the quality of stormwater runoff in the Tampa Bay region.

Example materials and activities include brochures or fact sheets, recreational guides, websites, bumper stickers, posters for bus stops, billboards, videos, event participation, children’s educational programs, storm drain stenciling or placards, tributary or watershed signage, and more.

All program materials and resources are available for use and Committee members and awardees are happy to share their information and tips.
