Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP)
The Transporation Alternatives Program (TAP) is the largest dedicated source of funding for trail and active transportation projects. All TAP projects require project sponsors to pay 100% of project costs up front and are then reimbursed up to 80% of approved project costs after conducting project activity. All TAP projects require sponsors to pay a minimum of 20% of the approved project costs. Federal TAP funds are capped at the time of the project.
