Funds available for curb ramp projects |
|
January 8, 2018 |
Individual grants of up to $60,000 are
available to Idaho organizations statewide
through a competitive application process ending
March 2 for the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) Curb Ramp Program. In total, the Idaho
Transportation Department will allocate $500,000
of state funds for this program.
Local jurisdictions, cities, counties and tribal
governments are eligible to apply. Applications
are available on the Idaho Transportation
Department website at
http://itd.idaho.gov/alt-programs/, under
the ADA Curb Ramp Program tab on the left-hand
side of the page.
The goal of the program is to partner with local
agencies to provide accessible facilities for
all pedestrians, especially those with
disabilities.
Those applying in 2018 should be prepared to
begin construction in May 2019. Project
construction must be completed within two years
of the execution of the Cooperative Agreement.
The Idaho ADA Curb Ramp Program is a
state-administered program providing funding for
projects to build or correct curb ramps on the
state highway system.
Applications are evaluated by ITD, the Local
Highway Technical Assistance Council and the
Idaho Division of the Federal Highway
Administration.
Completed applications should be sent to
ITDAltContracting@itd.idaho.gov. |
