The RTA is committed to being a community partner in helping promote livable community initiatives. This partnership allows RTA to leverage funds that would otherwise go to other parts of the state or country. At the local level, through the Community Grants Program, the RTA has contributed $2.2 million to 20 communities leveraging additional local match project dollars from 1996 to the present. Through these and other similar projects, the RTA can assure transit planning and community planning remain a key partnership in building livable communities throughout the region.
Originally established in 1996 by the RTA Board of Trustees, the Community Grants Program was established to promote transit-related planning and development in the RTA service area through public/private partnerships and cooperative efforts.
Community Grants assist with transit-related investments above and beyond those which RTA can normally provide, thereby enhancing mobility alternatives for RTA's riders.
The following information provides an overview of the program and outlines requirements for project eligibility.

Jurisdictions may also sponsor joint applications with private entities located within their jurisdictional boundaries. Multiple applications may be submitted by a jurisdiction for the same funding year. Projects evaluated as having regional or community significance will also be considered for RTA Community Grants Funding.
RTA will make available Federal 5307 formula funds for the Community Grants program. this funding will support approximately $200,000 in projects. The Community Grants program will provide 80 percent match to a projects's budgeted or actual costs, whichever is smaller. Jurisdictions interested in submitting applications must certify that they will provide a 20 percent local match. Projects must be completed within 12 months of the execution of grant award date to assure RTA's financial commitment to a project.
Each Fall, the RTA will e-mail Community Grants program information to all area jurisdictions. Grant applications are on line and must be received by the RTA by the date specified in the application. The RTA will host a grant workshop to address questions and provide useful information on preparing grant applications.
