Eligible Applicants

TRPC encourages all eligible applicants to submit project proposals. The following categories of applicants are defined for this Call for Projects process:

For this process, Traditional Transportation Partners include only Bucoda, Lacey, Olympia, Rainier, Tenino, Tumwater, Yelm, Thurston County, the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation, the Nisqually Indian Tribe, and Intercity Transit.

Non-Traditional Transportation Partners

Non-traditional partners are encouraged to apply for the TAP and CMAQ grant programs. They include any agency or organization other than those identified above that provides surface transportation facilities, programs, or services that directly support the goals and policies of the adopted Regional Transportation Plan. Examples of such partners include the Port of Olympia, school districts, state and federal natural resource agencies, fire districts, and non-profit organizations.
