Washington grants for City or township governments

The Legislature created the Transportation Improvement Board to foster state investment in quality local transportation projects. The TIB distributes grant funding, which comes from the revenue generated by three cents of the statewide gas tax, to cities and counties for funding transportation projects. TIB's grant programs are catagorized by the type of customer agency each program is intended to serve. TIB typically issues a call for projects each June for the next year's funding program. The TIB application process follows these steps: Decide which TIB Funding programs your agency is eligible for. Download the appropriate funding application and complete a separate application for each project you want to be considered for funding. Funding applications are made available in June. Submit/postmark your application by the application due date - typically near the end of August. TIB engineering staff will begin reviewing and scoring all applications in September. TIB uses a priority array process for each funding program to identify projects that best meet the intent of the program. Criteria are developed by the Board in cooperation with local agencies. TIB staff present a list of recommended projects to the board at the November meeting. If your project is selected, you will be contacted by TIB engineering staff about what steps to take next.
