Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) Round 5

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation has opened Round 5 of the Transportation Alternative Program on October 25, 2024. The overall purpose of the Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) is to foster non-motorized transportation infrastructure that is safe and accessible.  
  
TAP funds can be used for the following: on-road and off-road trail facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other users of non-motorized forms.  Infrastructure-related projects and systems that will provide safe routes for non-drivers, including children, older adults, and individuals with disabilities to access daily needs. Conversion and use of abandoned railroad corridors for pedestrians, bicyclists, or other non-motorized transportation users. Safe Route to School infrastructure activities. 
  
Only municipalities and schools are eligible to apply for TAP funding.  The funds are 80% federal with a 20% local match. 
  
Applicants must submit a Letter of Interest Form to the Department by December 6, 2024, attend a virtual workshop hosted by the Department in January 2025, and submit a TAP application by January 24, 2025.
