NOACA’s Transportation for Livable Communities Initiative (TLCI) helps communities in Northeast Ohio obtain federal funding and technical assistance for planning transportation projects that strengthen community livability.
The TLCI consists of the following components:
- Planning Grant Program: Provides federal funding to conduct or contract for the planning of transportation improvements that advance the Initiative’s goals.
Since 2005, the NOACA Governing Board has allocated approximately
$1 million each fiscal year for the planning grant program,
awarding individual grants up to $75,000.
- Neighborhood Planning Technical Assistance: Provides free technical assistance to NOACA Urban Core Communities from staff for planning medium- to large-scale transportation improvements that advance the Initiative’s goals.
- Links Technical Assistance Program: Provides technical assistance from NOACA staff for planning small-scale traffic studies that advance the Initiative’s goals.
On December 11, 2009 the NOACA Governing Board approved 13 applicants for TLCI grants. You can view the list of approved applicants.
Important Information for Third Party Consulting City Engineers
Entities applying for TLCI grants should ensure that they are not in conflict with 23 CFR 1.33, the prohibition on conflicts of interest. If you have questions about this federal regulation, please consult an attorney or contact NOACA legal staff.
