FY 2008 National Scenic Byways Program Discretionary Grants

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has issued the FY 2008 solicitation for proposals under the National Scenic Byways Program.

Under this program, the Secretary of Transportation may make grants to States or Indian tribes to implement projects on roads designated as National Scenic Byways

or All-American Roads, State scenic byways, or Indian tribe scenic byways.

The Secretary may also make grants to States or Indian tribes to plan, design and develop a scenic byways program.

Eligible projects must be from one of the following eight eligible activities:
State or Indian tribe Scenic Byway Programs, Corridor Management Plans, Safety Improvements, Byways Facilities, Access to Recreation, Resource Protection, Interpretive Information, or Marketing.

FHWA has decided to be more strategic in its FY 2008 National Scenic Byways Program grant awards process by targeting its resources toward projects that provide the greatest benefits.

FHWA is particularly focusing on projects with demonstrated benefits for the byway traveler and invites the application of large-scale, high-cost projects that provide strategic benefits to the byway.

The Federal share of the byway project grant is 80 percent.
