Notice of Funding Opportunity: Pilot Program for TOD Planning
5/11/2026
FTA announced the availability of approximately $28.5 million in fiscal year 2026 funds through the Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development Planning. The program supports local and state efforts to build successful transit corridors that connect people to jobs, housing, and essential services and opportunities.
The Notice of Funding Opportunity focuses on several priority considerations, including:
- Safety: how a project advances safe journeys along corridors and at stations, and encourages a safe route to services along corridors, such as school, childcare, recreation, and social services.
- Innovation: how a project fosters innovative approaches, partnerships with transit agencies and advocates, and promotes research, innovation and demonstration of new technologies, and policies that stimulate private sector participation, private investment, and public-private partnerships to deliver infrastructure and TOD in the corridor.
- Benefits for Families and Communities: how a project increases transit access for families at the proposed transit station or along the corridor and how it integrates childcare and recreation near public transportation hubs.
Submissions are due by July 10.
