Grant Programs
Virginia Grant Programs of Interest
Many projects require more funding than localities can amass on their own. Several Virginia departments offer grant programs of different sorts. Most use federal funding for all or part of their backing, which brings federal requirements into play. Knowing the program's goals and requirements is the first step in applying for funding.
Here's a partial but growing list. Halycon's President, Wayne Wilcox, has experience with most of these.
VDOT Local Assistance Division
VDOT's Local Assistance Division manages these programs that are generally targeted at specific transportation needs.
- Access Road Programs
- Economic Development Access
- Airport Access
- Recreational Access
- Environmental Requirements
- Revenue Sharing Program
VDOT Transportation Alternatives
VDOT's Local Assistance Division also manages the Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside, which is perhaps the best known and most pursued of VDOT's grant programs. It is quite useful for Active Transportation projects like greenways, bikeways, trails, and the like.
Safe Routes to School was absorbed into the TA program.
VDOT Smart Portal
VDOT runs all funding programs for localities through the Smart Portal.
