TLCI Planning Assistance is the allocation of NOACA staff time, instead of a TLCI Planning Grant, to complete a planning study. Applications are accepted with TLCI Planning Grant applications (normally accepted starting in October).

Eligibility

Eligible applicants include: political subdivisions, other state agencies, boards, commissions, regional transit authorities, county transit boards and port authorities. Non-implementing governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations (i.e. Community Development Corporations [CDCs], non-profits, and advocacy organizations) must partner with the eligible governmental entity having jurisdiction over the proposed project to co-sponsor a request. Only eligible applicants can complete the application and assume responsibility for entering into an agreement with NOACA to carry out the project.

Funding Information

The total budget and staff resources for the program will be determined annually with the development of the Overall Work Program. To effectively manage the program, the NOACA Executive Director may limit staff time available within a specific fiscal year. Project sponsors are not required to provide any financial contribution or local match to receive assistance. View the Policy (adopted June 12, 2015) here.
