Transportation Improvement Board - Grant Programs Overview of TIB Grant Programs he Legislature created the Transportation Improvement Board to foster state investment in quality local transportation projects. The TIB distributes grant funding, which comes from the revenue generated by three cents of the statewide gas tax, to cities and counties for funding transportation projects.
TIB's grant programs are catagorized by the type of customer agency each program is intended to serve. Urban programs serve cities with a population of 5,000 or more and counties with urban unincorporated areas. Small city programs are designed to serve cities and towns with a population of less than 5,000.
TIB typically issues a call for projects each June for the next year's funding program. The TIB application process follows these steps: Decide which TIB Funding programs your agency is eligible for. Download the appropriate funding application and complete a separate application for each project you want to be considered for funding.
Funding applications are made available in June. Submit/postmark your application by the application due date - typically near the end of August. TIB engineering staff will begin reviewing and scoring all applications in September.
TIB uses a priority array process for each funding program to identify projects that best meet the intent of the program. Criteria are developed by the Board in cooperation with local agencies. TIB staff present a list of recommended projects to the board at the November meeting.
If your project is selected, you will be contacted by TIB engineering staff about what steps to take next. During the call for projects, TIB engineering staff conduct funding program workshops at various locations throughout the state. The TIB funding workshops provide information about the funding programs TIB administers, the scoring criteria for each program and the application process.
TIB's workshops are intended to increase the probability of a successful project application. For more information on workshops or to register, see the TIB Training page. Funding Program Eligibility To determine which TIB programs your agency is eligible for, select your agency from the list.

Eligible projects must be located within the federally designated urban area and be in compliance with the Growth Management Act.
Projects are selected annually on a competitive basis. Urban Arterial Program (UAP) Active Transportation Program (ATP) Arterial Preservation Program (APP) Urban Arterial Program (UAP) The Urban Arterial Program funds projects in one of the following bands: Safety, Commercial Growth and Development, Mobility, and Physical Condition.
A maximum of 65 points may be achieved in any one band; the remaining 35 points come from both Sustainability and Constructability criteria.
Program Specific Information Eligible agencies are counties with urban unincorporated areas and cities with a population of 5,000 or greater Eligible projects must be on a federally classified route (principal, minor, collector) Projects must be consistent with state, regional and local transportation plans The local match requirement is determined by the city's valuation, or in the case of counties, by its road levy valuation (Minimum local match ranges from 10 to 20 percent) Funds are distributed across five regions based on arterial lane miles and population TIB uses a priority array process to identify projects that best meet the intent of each funding program.

Active Transportation Program Application Arterial Preservation Program (APP) The Arterial Preservation Program (APP) provides funding for overlay of federally classified arterial streets (principal, minor) in cities with a population greater than 5,000 and assessed valuation less than $3 billion. Although the program offers critical preservation assistance, it is not enough to substitute for a city's street maintenance program.
Therefore, the program is limited to overlay to defray high-cost preservation projects, allowing cities to concentrate limited resources on lower cost preventative maintenance. Program Specific Information Rather than a regional distribution, funding is targeted for road maintenance opportunities across the state Local match for TIB funding is based upon a city's assessed valuation (AV).
Cities with AV of less than $1 billion are required to match 10%; cities with AV between $1 billion and $2. 5 billion are required to match 15%; cities with AV between $2. 5 billion and $3 billion are required to match 20% To determine the matching percentage required for your city, select from the list below: TIB uses a priority array process to identify projects that best meet the intent of each funding program.

These programs fund projects with the intent of providing suitable transportation infrastructure.
