I. � r�� ��r� ��ret� ���nr <br />A. Transit for Livable Communities <br />Transit for Livable Communities (TLC) is a non-profit corporation, located in St. Paul, <br />Minnesota. TLC works to improve the quality of life i n Minnesota communities through a <br />balanced transportation system that encourages transit, walking, biking, and transit-oriented <br />development. In the 2005 federal transportationbill, the US Congress named TLC to administer <br />the Non-MotorizedTransportation Pilot Program in Minnesota. For more informationaboutTLC, <br />visit www.ticminnesota.org. <br />B. NTP Federal Program Overview <br />The six-year federal transportation bill (SAFETEA-LU) enacted in the summer of 2005 <br />authorized a Non-Motorized Transportation Pilot Program in four communities — <br />Minneapolisladjoining communities in Minnesota; Sheboygan County, Wisconsin; Mari� County, <br />California; and Columbia, Missouri. Each community will receive approximately $21.5 million <br />over four years. <br />The program will test how infrastructure improvements, combined with planning, public <br />education, and promotion, can increase the number of people bicycling and walking and reduce <br />driving. The program funds will be used to create a network of non-motorized transportation <br />facilities, including sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and pedestrian and bicycle trails, that directly <br />connect with transit stops, schools, residences, businesses, recreation areas, and other <br />community activity centers. <br />The four communities will also study the impact of these investments on traffic congestion, <br />energy use, health, and the environment. Results will provide information to other communities <br />and provide information for the next federal transportation bill. The complete language from <br />SAFETEA-LU regarding the NTP can be found in Appendix A. <br />Selected projects are required to comply with a number of federal and state requirements. While the <br />funding provides a great opportunity, communities are advised that following federal and state <br />regulations require a significant commitment of time and resources on the part of the applicant andlor <br />sponsor. Communities are encouraged to consider their ability to meet these requirements before <br />submitting an application. Some considerations should include: <br />► Do I have the necessary staff to administer the funding? <br />* Do I have the funding to cover project costs until they are reimbursed? <br />* Do I have the funding to support costs that cannot be reimbursed? <br />* Do I have the resources to support continuation of the project after project completion? <br />C. NTP Minnesota Program Overview <br />The TLC Board of Directors, in consultation with its staff, advisory committee, and agency <br />partners, will determine how the program funding will be used. TLC will allocate funding to <br />projects through several means: <br />* Through at least two rounds of requests for applications for planning, operations, and <br />infrastructure and up to two rounds of requests for applications for education and <br />community outreach, <br />* By directly funding projects selected by the TLC Board, and <br />• By retaining funds for projects implemented or managed by TLC. <br />Since this is a pilot project, with evaluation being a key part of the NTP program, TLC is <br />committed to funding a variety of different projects and measuring the effectiveness of those <br />projects. <br />Mar�n �3,200� NTP Request for Applications — Page 4 of 34 <br />
