Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) — Colorado Department of Transportation and tags on every page of your site. --> TAP is a competitive grant program with funds managed and monitored through the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).
Grant funds are passed through CDOT from the Federal government , which are awarded to transportation projects that expand travel choice beyond the single occupancy vehicle, strengthen the local economy, improve quality of life, and protect the environment.
TAP funds were authorized in 2012 by federal transportation legislation, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), and continued under the current federal transportation legislation, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
CDOT awarded TAP projects include a variety of generally smaller-scale active transportation encouraging projects or environmental mitigation work, such as pedestrian and bicycle facilities; construction of turnouts, overlooks, and viewing areas; community improvements such as historic preservation and vegetation management; environmental mitigation related to stormwater and habitat connectivity; safe routes to school projects; and vulnerable road user safety assessments.

Three separate deadlines — the continuing resolution, the surface transportation extension, and the statutory freeze on OMB's grant-rule rewrite — now expire on the same day, with a lame-duck Congress and a handful of weeks to resolve them. Here is what that means for anyone holding or chasing a federal award.

Here is what the $95M Port Security and $88.4M Transit Security programs actually fund, who is eligible, how the cyber-threat expansion changes the calculus, and how to build a July 24 application that survives risk-based review.
Read articleOn June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program. Both projects pull rare earths from industrial waste — red mud at the Gramercy refinery in Louisiana, and a mix of mine and refining tailings elsewhere. Here is what the selections tell researchers, small businesses, and downstream magnet customers about where DOE thinks the chokepoint actually is, and what to do before the next demonstration-scale solicitation opens.
