Registration is now available for the December Talking Freight Seminar.
Topic: Completed TIGER Program Freight Projects – Success Stories
Date/Time: December 21, 2016 1:00 – 2:30 PM ET
Registration: http://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/Freight/fpd/talking_freight/index.htm
Description: The TIGER Discretionary Grant Program, which started in 2009 as part of the Recovery Act, has now allocated $5.6 billion dollars to approximately 420 projects during the eight rounds of the program, a number of which
were freight-focused projects. Many of the projects selected in the early rounds of the TIGER Program have now been completed, and the experience those grantees had in implementing their projects could provide helpful insights for future TIGER projects and
other discretionary grant programs, including the FASTLANE Grant Program.
This webinar will feature discussion about successfully implemented TIGER Program freight projects, both from the overall program point of view and from the individual project sponsors’ points of view.
Topics and Presenters:
